Anybody actually finish this? Anybody actually ENJOY finishing this?
I was deciding whether to jump on the Activision franchise sale this Sunday and realized that I had already purchased Ghosts, so I decided to play it. I'm toward the end (which at only seven hours and probably half of that repeating sections is just sad in and of itself) where it gets brutally difficult, and it's occurred to me that I've not particularly enjoyed any of it. It's like trying to play a video game while being forced to simultaneously play the Lightning Round from Ms Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing Methamphetamine Edition and watch a Uwe Boll movie, except of course that Ms Mavis would warn me before I have to type or die and Uwe Boll at least has the decency to not insist I watch his crappy scenes over and over and over again between typing frenzies.
I've always said that nobody does scripted action like Infinity Ward, but it's finally sinking in that this does not apply to Activision, and hasn't for some time. I think this will be my last Call of Duty (Call of Doodie?) game, at least for awhile.
