Starhawk - Review | G4MERS

G$MERS: "Five dry years we had to wait for the continuation of Warhawk, shoot-TPP network released an exclusive PlayStation 3 Now it's time for Starhawk , the successor to the previous section, which also has been enriched with a campaign mode for one player. But if this game is able to attract crowds of players who are united in a duel in the first part?"

How is it not?

No, really. I want you to explain to me how a 7.5 out of 10 is NOT that great of a score.

Edit: You didn't say it "wasn't a great score." You said "Not that great of a score." Your implication is obviously that it's a poor score, furthered by you saying "it might be fine... it could be good."

And the fact that you chose to say "not great" instead of "pretty good" definitely shows what your intentions were: to say the score was unsatisfactory.

Compared to everything below it- 1 to 7 or even .1 to 7.4- a 7.5 IS a great score. And on a scale where a 0 is pathetic and a 100 is perfect or at least superb, a 75 is VERY GOOD.

You can try to spin your intent however you want, but between your obvious negativity and the way you troll Sony-related articles in general, I think people know exactly what you're trying to accomplish.

Getowned5123d ago (Edited 5123d ago )

seems like a fine score to me .. not the BEST score but its fine O.o idk why ppl think 7s are bad lol

TekoIie5123d ago

7.5 is good. If it was on 7.0 it would be on the verge of mediocre though and the scores not far off which is why you'll find people upset.

Prince_Dim-Lu5123d ago

Ya, exactly. Seems like a FINE score. Not a GREAT score.

Why are some of you so mad? I want you to explain to me how a 7.5 is a GREAT score out of 10. Then I'd like to hear what words you use for an 8, 8.5, 9, 9.5 and then 10. Because I can't wait to see what you use after GREAT.

I stick by what I said, and so do other review sites that score 1-10. A 7.5 is not a great score. It might be fine... it could be good. But it's not great.

dark-hollow5123d ago (Edited 5123d ago )

why people get worked up over a bunch of numbers?

for me? i never look at the final scores, i look for reviews from reviewers who are credible to some extent and the ones that i find have similar tastes as mine, read the whole review and make my own conclusion of the game without the need to get puzzled why X game isnt X scored.

maybe the reviewer took point because he didnt liked a certain part/gameplay mechanic of the game which i dont have a problem with.
some of my favorite games this gen mainly scored 7-8.

M-M5123d ago

Good review, although I HEAVILY disagree with this part:

"Graphics - 6
Starkawk not wrote. The titles on the PlayStation 3 exclusive accustomed us to the fact that graphically represent a very high level. Starhawk unfortunately can not stand to compete with God of War 3 and Uncharted third This game just looks like the era of the first period of the PS3. "

The graphics look great IMO, having great visuals while having all that kind of action going in is pretty outstanding.

ThanatosDMC5123d ago

Exactly. Fail scoring. Name another game on consoles that look as great as Starhawk with the same amount of crazy stuff happening in huge maps.

VonBraunschweigg5123d ago

Played a 20+ player dogfight in space tonight for the first time.

Crazy stuff=)

ginsunuva5123d ago

Why do reviewers hate on Starhawk for being too complex and team-based in multiplayer?

Is it too hard for them? Poor guys!

360GamerFG5123d ago

They don't, they love the multiplayer. All of them agree that the singleplayer is crap though. Nice try but this is not one of those times you can use the old "its too hard for them" excuse.

mayberry5123d ago

just like killzone 2 got bashed for being too hard! seems like a growing number of gamers today need more and more hand holding! sad!

vickers5005123d ago

Nobody bashed Killzone 2 for being too hard. The only thing people really complained about is the controller lag, which is a very reasonable complaint. Some say it's supposed to be like that to add a feeling of weight to the weapons, but the problem with that argument is that you can still have the heavy weapon feeling without having input lag.

As for Starhawk, I like it, but it's a too much team based. I always go for the objective, though in about 80% of the matches I play, I'm the only f*cking one going for the objective. It's not so great having to rely on a bunch of dimwit a-holes who are playing TDM style in a capture the flag match. I know the remedy to this is to find a clan or a crap load of people on forums, but I'd rather not add 20-32 random people I don't know just to play ONE game properly.

And TDM is a joke in Starhawk. There's nothing technically wrong with it by itself, but the players abuse the build and battle system WAAAYYYY too much in that mode, it just becomes a Tank Sniping Team Deathmatch. Tons of people just spawn tanks and energy shields, so if you want to get a single kill, you have to leave your shield, hopefully get enough damage in on a player and kill them, then immediately get tank sniped from across the map as a penalty for leaving your shield.

That's my experience with TDM in Starhawk so far though, I think there's a way to disable certain structures in custom TDM matches, but I'm not sure, but when you just want to do a quick match and not organize a big group of people, finding a match without that crap is kind of rare (so far anyways).

Even though I have some major complaints with the game, I really do like it. The controls and graphics are smooth as butter (and the art style looks pretty good too), it's a colorful game, and I love the vehicles for the most part.

They need to put some limits on how many tanks can be on the battlefield at one time though, at least on tdm.

mayberry5123d ago (Edited 5123d ago )

vickers ^^^^...
guerilla games implimented the "lag" on purpose, they changed it because of gamers input in the forums. "Guerilla’s producer, Seb Downie, seemed adamant when he said that no changes would happen with the current control method: “[Guerrilla Games] have come to the conclusion that there are no changes required to the [control] system.”

VonBraunschweigg5123d ago (Edited 5123d ago )

Best MP game this year gets trashed because it's to diverse or because the added & usefull tutorial lacks a good story, who would have thought of that?

Done for now, had some wonderfull games tonight, and tomorrow it's Saturday:)

Rhezin5123d ago

yeah f!ck whoever says it doesnt have good graphics. It looks very impressive and a huge leap from the beta.

Not a single Reistance? Fuck this article.

mastershredder769d ago (Edited 769d ago )

Starhawk over Warhawk?...... Dude, NO ONE should listen to you.

Odd choices for "best" more like you settled as these being the "best" that available to you at the time, cause a lot of these blow or were average to poor performers that ended up in bargain bin.

Missing too many great sci-fi titles here. The Void, The Resistance Series, Killzone 2 and 3, Enslaved, man.. there were so many, this is redicu-list.

FreeckyCake769d ago

Nobody should listen to you either with that attitude.

OtterX769d ago

I agree that Starhawk shouldn't be above Warhawk, however I must say that Starhawk multiplayer was incredible for its time! Many people wrote it off bc the single player was quite terrible, bc it was basically 1 huge tutorial for the multiplayer. But I can tell you never spent any significant amount of time in MP. It was doing incredibly tense base building w air, foot and land vehicle (and mech!) combat long before Fortnite was ever a thing.

I bet it would have been much better received if it had just ditched the story mode all together. So many people like yourself completely wrote it off based on reviews by reviewers that let the criticism of single player weigh heavily on their scores. I bet you didn't even play it.

Friendlygamer769d ago

The riddick games are some of the best stealth titles ever, highly underrated

YourMommySpoils769d ago

What games? All recall plating was Escape from Butcher Bay.

Friendlygamer769d ago (Edited 769d ago )

There's also the less acclaimed 'assault on dark Athena'

( also, not saying this to you specifically but there's both resistance and killzone games on the list, it's amazing how even something so simple and innocent as a game list can be turned into misinformed vitriol here lol )

jznrpg769d ago

Glad to see Resonance of Fate. Enslaved was pretty good too. I’m sure there are others nobody has listed but I’m too tired to try and think of anything

Roundtable: Dead Game Franchises We Miss

With every big game now belonging to a big intellectual property, there are those that have become redundant. Here are the series' we miss.

RPGer1846d ago

I miss Dark Cloud I mean damn, Dark Cloud 2 is one of the best Action RPG game ever made. The game have: Rich Worlds, different setting, tons of contents, vareity in gameplay like never before (and even after), best buliding mechanics, crafting system like no one did and finally impressive graphics.

Most underrated game ever. It deserved the popularity and sales of Zelda and Final Fantasy. ut unfortunately, Level-5 and Sony didn't advertise it at all.

titans99991846d ago

My franchises I wish would make a come back, are Battlefront by pandemic studios - galactic conquest was the best, mercenaries 1 and 2, and prototype 1 and 2...great games!
