My cost/benefit ratio for AW is something like $3/hour, so in other words, ~20 hours sustained interest is enough justification for me to make the purchase. The remaining question in my mind is what sort of aggregate review scores equate with ~20 hours of satisfaction. I'm thinking if the scores are something above 70% I'll pull the trigger.

A real 360 vs Bone comparison? the quality is pretty poor.

Honestly, the only thing that dude said that worried me was the fast TTK/ lovely connections, which I've seen in some streams. My connection is super unreliable and I live pretty loving far from any likely host, but none of the games prior to Blops2 and Ghosts really punished me consistently for it.

I don't want bullet sponges by any means, but in a FPS series that refuses to implement recoil on any of the guns (funny that people on youtube are complaining about this like it's a new thing for COD), a low TTK is going to feel loving brutal to anyone that isn't host.

On the other hand, all of the people that are streaming the game early seem to sprint and boost everywhere 100% of the time.

30, actually.

And I'm pre-loaded on PS4 safely knowing that even if (ha ha, if) PSN takes a monster poo poo it will still unlock and I can at least play the campaign.

Except I can't because I have to be at work at 8 A.M. the next day.

But if I buy a digital version I can't go to Gamestop at midnight and sit in my car until all the weirdos leave and then wander in and get my hard copy in peace.

Last time I went to a midnight launch I got Titanfall and Dark Souls 2. The guy in front of me in line had a real pistol on his hip as though to say "Ain't nobody getting my Titanfall."

e: That wasn't at a Gamestop, but still.

If gamestop is open at 9pm sunday does that mean I still have to wait til midnight to get it? Or are they just doing prepaid? Was thinking of stopping by on my way to work.

You'll have to wait. They'll let you pay it off and let you hang out if you have nothing better to do than hang out at Gamestop for three hours.

I've done three midnight launches:

My first midnight launch was Halo 2. That line was over two hundred long, and I said never again after that.
After that was Halo 3 at a Blockbuster, with only five other people.
My third (and last) midnight launch was GTA4. I went to the Walmart (during the ONE year they were 24 hours), three doors down from the EB Games with the huge fuckoff lineup. There were no lines at Walmart.

I just haven't seen the point in being a few hours ahead of the curve since. Maybe I just have more patience now.

The only midnight launches I remember are that Dark Souls 2/Titanfall one, Halo Reach and the 3DS at Walmart just because I went there straight after work on basically a whim.

I usually wait too, but since I'm off work Monday (unrelated to CoD), I might as well get as much shooting dudes done as possible.

I watched his vid about ghosts and he talks about overpowered quickscoping and bad SMGs (neither of which are true) and doesn't mention any of the actual issues with the game at all.

Also he's playing this on 360 and it's the first cod that is really, really meant to be on next gen (or pc). He also bitches about getting pinged on the map for using exo suit abilities and there's literally an exo suit thing that makes that not happen.



e: Also this is the studio that did the old gen versions of the game: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Moon_Studios

He didn't rely on stealth perks in previous CODs so I don't understand why he's bitching about it now. He can just cherry-pick lobbies and play against bad players like he always does.

Also his subscribers didn't go up at all during Ghosts, so he's probably trying to attract the people who hate COD (but can't stop watching it).

The stealth stuff is spread across like 6 perks so I dont think itll be so bad. They'd also have to give up toughness and other quality of life perks.

I usually know what to expect with CoD, but Ghosts was such a steaming pile of poo poo that I haven't preordered this. Has there been any word (from devs or leaks or whatever) on PC performance? Ghosts was awful on PC, I remember having too many friends on your steam list would make it choke on itself. From the sounds of it maps sound a lot better, yeah? Ghosts maps were just too big and I hated most of them.

E: Went back to the OP and I guess this is the console thread, sorry.

2 perks.

It takes 2 perks to be immune to every streak in the game, besides system hack.

Hey, man, I distinctly remember this being an episode of Spongebob. :colbert:

Gamestop actually changed their midnight launch policies recently, such that all games launch at midnight EST. If you're on the west coast, that means you actually can stroll in at 9pm and pick it up. They just rolled the change out last week for Sunset Overdrive.
