Just as i left the game.... played this morning, well tried anyway. Hacked lobbies and poor host connection.

4Sh0w3187d ago (Edited 3187d ago )

OK, I get that but either way his logic for why WaW BC is bad is ridicuous= this is free, they are just letting you play it on X1 if you already own it. Also Activision will likely do a future remaster with a future COD new release as part of a expensive DLC package ala COD IW & COD4.

Lol, when they hold on to games for $remaster$ profits everyone complains, then they let it go BC for the fans, then some still complain.

81BX3187d ago

Ok cool, my comment was more of a PSA. What to expect if youre going to hop back in :)

DafunkyRebel3187d ago

free my azz, it's a trap to make you buy old games again for a filthy 20 bucks

Ausbo3187d ago

He's right. The last good COD game.

ninjazfistz3187d ago

So this dude gives one reason he doesn't like its backwards compatibility. His 1 reason: the game is less likely to be remastered because of it. Gotta love this kind of quality journalism /sarcasm

Buy a decent PC and get this version. Come on bro don't salt because others get to experience the game.

SUCKxITxEZ3187d ago

Ya I wouldn't want to play WaW with advanced warfare ui and sounds anyway. I can run it at Max settings at 1080p, 90fps and it looks great even by today's standards. Hackers aren't much of a problem because on PC we have dedicated servers and hackers just get kicked.

DafunkyRebel3187d ago

Looking at this comment I got to say. Pachter was right about PC gamers

ninjazfistz3186d ago

Are you trying to get PC gamers or me with that?

ShadowWolf7123187d ago

I mean

The author actually says outright he has an Xbox One and he can play it, but still wanted a remaster. But sure, salt because others get to experience it.

game4funz3187d ago

Gotta find something to complain about.
BC does not mean no remaster... I would remind you that it's only BC for Xbox one. And isn't it out on pc?

ONESHOTV23187d ago

how about you get a rig you wouldn't need a remaster in the first place sometimes i dont get console only gamers

feedthereaper3187d ago

Real life gets in the way as you get older and spending a fortune on a nice rig and then updating it regularly is just time consuming and costly when you got mortgages to play and kids who turn into teens who want to play their own games.
Its easier to buy a ready made, all in once console and then play loads of games quick and easy when you want to, without worrying about specs, and then when your 13 year old wants to play minecraft and stuff with his mates, he can go straight on and do it without taking over your expensive "rig" or the fact that nearly every single friend from school uses a Xbox or PS4 rather than a PC.

PC gaming may offer the best quality of games and some considerable tech advantage over consoles, but consoles fit into every day life far better for the modern family, and hence why they sell millions each!

BlacKJesu53187d ago (Edited 3187d ago )

You can play this game with a $300 pc

SUCKxITxEZ3187d ago

I bought my PC making 11$ an hour, and it took like 20mins to put together. I have not needed to upgrade a thing for like 2 years, and even before I upgraded my graphics card (which takes 5 mins tops) I could Max this game at 90fps. Also if you have kids walking around Maybe you shouldn't be playing CoD in front of them, especially the one that let's you blow people's limbs off and be a Nazi.

Tankbusta403187d ago

You are right, I gave up upgrading rigs over ten years ago when I graduated college. Consoles are so much easier.

ONESHOTV23187d ago

feedthereaper----"Real life gets in the way as you get older and spending a fortune on a nice rig and then updating it regularly" what does that even mean? you dont think i work and also pay bills and have a family to take care of as well, i'm not some child that has all the free time in the world but if you were smart you would know that building a rig will have a lower upkeep cost than a console, but i guess when you have never tried gaming on pc you can be as ignorant as you want to be.

4Sh0w3187d ago (Edited 3187d ago )

Some people just don't want a gaming pc...actually mine is quite capable but I just don't game on it....for me pc is work related.

I'm not rich but I have been doing very well financially for at least a decade now. I mean well enough to take good care of a family, buy a house, own nice things etc. Its not to bragg but just to illustrate the point that I could afford a top of the line gaming pc every year but some of us just like consoles -even if I had one and a ps4 Id have to make a choice because time is what I lack. I just got FH3 and I dont have the time I wish I had to play it. I tried pc gaming years ago, the spec difference is nice but I find console very easy, no specs, no settings, big screen tv, no fuss always just play all the games as is until I buy a new console. I just enjoy console gaming environment..always have. I tend to favor Xbox Live with a few friends so that's mostly what I do in the limited time I have for gaming. Nothing against pc I just prefer a console, that's all.

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

ChasterMies421d ago

Some of these low paid video game “news” writers weren’t born before 2007.

just_looken421d ago

Here here

Those that were around before 2000's i am sure are like me that think we entered a world of non readers or those that follow without question.

I can not wait to see fallout 3 a goty game even though it was about water with non content until you add the dlc/updates then you got the performance/crashing

CrimsonWing69421d ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker421d ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo421d ago (Edited 421d ago )

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing69421d ago (Edited 421d ago )

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Profchaos421d ago (Edited 421d ago )

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.

Gameseeker_Frampt421d ago

Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.

2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.

just_looken421d ago

It still amazes me we got over 7 rockstar games ps2/ps3 but 3 for the ps3/ps4/ps5

Dragon age 1-3 and mass effect 1-3 in 7ish years what a generation.

65 Year Old Gamer Racks Up Ridiculous Stats After Playing 1 Game for 15 Years

Well, he definitely got his money’s worth.

Abnor_Mal716d ago

Same as Shirley Curry playing Skyrim for years. In the next Elders Scrolls game they should have her in the game as some form of npc.

andy85716d ago

She is, I read she will be a character. Not a dig in any form but I hope she's alive when it releases

Relientk77716d ago

That's over 7,000 hours geez. What crazy stats

nitus10716d ago

Actually it is very easy to up the number of hours you have been playing a game. Basically all you need to do (assuming you have a PS4 or 5) is to place the console into stand-by without exiting the game, so if you do this a one hour gameplay actually becomes a 24 gameplay or longer.

boing1715d ago

What? So the game is still runinng when you put it to sleep? What?

EvertonFC716d ago

It's actually sad not an achievement but hey we need the full story details.

Knushwood Butt715d ago

There's someone on my friend list that has more than 6200 hours on Uncharted 4.

vTuro24715d ago

7k hours over 15 years isn't that crazy. The fact that he's been playing the same game for 15 years is more impressive.

anast716d ago

And then you got people that want to finish a game every week.

Rhythmattic715d ago

Nailed what is the Spectrum... For good and bad, Quality or Quantity..Or the unreasonable to reason for. ;)

jznrpg716d ago

Of course you will hit a ridiculous stat after 15 of anything.
My main character for Everquest had over 500 days played in the first 6 years of the game. I was young then and had a lot of time on my hands. I don’t think I could duplicate that again until I retire and not sure I could match it if I tried.

EvertonFC716d ago

500 days in 6 years is nothing lol, you do realise how many days in a year right ?

poppatron716d ago

I might be getting the maths wrong here, I think 500 days in 6 years works out at an average of just over 6 hours every single day. For 6 years. That’s pretty serious

EvertonFC716d ago

Edit: wrote this early this morning, I understand it's lots of hours now lol at myself 😂🤣😜

RedDevils715d ago

The only way to achieve this, is by having no life outside of video game lol.

Outlawzz715d ago

Strange choice of game but hey that's some devotion. Congrats to them!
