Call of Duty: Ghosts (2013)
The good old days are gone
I have played ghost enough to give it the review it deserves. I must say, society is so delusional that we think that whenever a new call of duty game is released that we are taking a step forward, but it is the opposite. The campaign is unprecedentedly short, seriously, it took me 5 and a half hours to beat on hard with 18 missions. But no one really cares about the campaign? A lot do actually. I can recall when I played world at war and the first modern warfare, the pinnacle of the COD series. I would replay missions to the point where my game time was mostly just campaign. The campaign is actually one third of each COD game so it does matter. To add, there was no meaning or purpose in the story, at least mw3 did follow up with some background. Squads is nothing special, simply an extension of survival from mw3 mixed with online strangers as enemies or friends. I'd suggest this game mode with friends you know for a better time. The multi player...it obviously has problems since the game is quite new but hopefully infinity ward isn't still a greedy franchise hoarding money from game addicts and finally gives a damn about the community to fix them. To name a few: enemy players spawning up my ass, the obvious lag, game freezing up (my ps4 is just fine and the disk is un scratched), yay host migration and there are people already trying to hack the damn game. There is nothing special about COD ghost, they should title it mw3 2.0 because it is so similar, it's like Infinity ward spent 10 months scratching their ass and the next 2 months rushing like a procrastinating high school student. Luckily I hadn't bought the game but merely rented it for free from my local library. Get your act together IW, your loyal fans are waiting for when you actually produce something decent.
Gravity (2013)
CGI doesn't make up for boring and dragged out sequences of floating and talking in space
Granted I did watch the movie in theatres in the fourth day of release but comparing to the hype I've been hearing about it, there was barely anyone else that came. Really, the three stars I've given is for the CGI, I have no intention of overrating this movie just because Sandra bullock and/or George Clooney is in it like some other critics do. I really love space movies, I watch 40 minute astrology videos on you tube daily but this movie doesn't deliver the same excitement. Yes, I am an action lover but I like adventure and sci-if as well. I have to admit, the acting was decent, it felt like they were really endangered and it wasn't a movie but somewhat exaggerated and annoying at times because that's all they seem to do. There are so many points within the movie I wanted to sleep or strangle myself of frustration because the director doesn't know when to cut out and go to the next scene. They literally took a two minute shot of Sandra floating around. I was more entertained by peoples reaction in the audience. The person beside me had slept through the whole way and whenever the intense scenes were over I would hear loud sighs. The only good thing about this movie is that it will bore you to sleep and won't fail.
