Same here :(.
I was really looking forward to Ghost but all of my buddies keep saying "Ghost sucks, I'm already bored of it and it's just like any other CoD." etc. 1-0.

Experienced Battlefield players, mind giving me an exciting description of BF4?

I personally don't have it, but if I had a choice between the two, I would choose BF4. What system were you planning on getting it on? As Dusty mentioned, you can play with a lot more players on maps on the new generation consoles. I own BF3, and I heard this is much better than that so I could imagine it's good. I usually get sold by a game from the YouTube gameplay videos.

The most exciting description about BF4 is : "Boom".
It's amazing...

What's the point in asking for a review if you're also asking for direct bias? Just go to IGN.

IGN is crap

But my overall review of the game is good. Especially after the latest China Rising patch that got rid of a lot of bugs.
If you get it on 360 then put it on the HDD, much faster. The game tends to crash a ton, it gets SUPER lag spikes (these are crazy, you will go from 30-5 fps) normally during the levelution events. Theres still a bunch of glitches and the hit detection system is not good. You will take so many bullets at once. The netcode was fixed (amen). BF4 tends to crash a ton too.

Gameplay wise it all depends on the modes you play. If your playing 64 players then play conquest as the maps are very large and its not one giant cluserfk. If you play rush, or obliteration then the perfect amount of people is about 24 (console) - 36 people games as these maps are toned down a lot. Obliteration though, still uses the huge maps but not like conquest size, theres only one objective so ptfo and you will get kills rather easily. Note Obliteration will make you rage as theres annoying parachute spawning so your always being killed from the behind. Watch out for snipers too, BF4 has give a gigantic buff to snipers, they now deal 100 damage at the chest. They also have the best perk set of Spec Ops (basically you're super stealthy and can't be detected by motion sensors unless sprinting). Finnaly they added in freaking C4 to that class so watch out in vehicles as recons drop C4 from roof tops. So in short, there freaking EVERYWHERE and are annoying AF.

I don't understand why people hate on IGN. I use it daily and see nothing wrong with it lmao.

Plus their youtube channel is pretty nice. Naomi kyle is my waifu <3

Because they gabe ghosts a 8.8 while fans average at 4.4.

Also they tend to overrate big time games. Such as bf4. It was only like a 6 at launch because of all the bugs it was like playing the bad guys in a 90s action movie. You shoot and shoot at a guy (your hitting him) and all your shots dont register as hits while all his shots hit you.

They didn't really give ghosts a 8.8 it was mostly the reviewers opinion but if they all voted it would have been lower.

I'd stop playing the same genre for 9 years straight guys.

Conquest is working on PS4 now :D it's so much fun with 64 players

IGN reviews are opinions? Lmao, if you hate something just because their opinion differs from yours then you will have some troubles out in the real world.

Uh, that was the point...?

IGN's been known to get paid by major gaming companies (especially Activision) to "review" it with extreme bias to raise hype and sales for the game. Prime example: Ghosts.

Way to generalize the whole thread.

I prefer eurogamer, gameradar, and gamestop's review than IGN.

Honestly, the best way to judge if a game is good or not is to watch Lets Plays. No bias, just the game. That is, if you can't just borrow it from someone.
