The review was translated, so don't expect it to make much sense.
@BeaArthur
True, but most reviews have been foreign and translated. So I think it's best to skim over these reviews and get general points rather than look at the specifics because they are most likely not going to make sense.
I'm more interested to see how the American media perceives Heavy Rain.
Exactly, Heavy Rain needs to be understood as something that's not a traditional game. It's like Flower, or something of that nature at a grander scale.
I remember how bold Shadow of the Colossus was. On paper it sounded very tough to make a game where all you do is fight bosses-- but the concept became so pure and it just clicked with people, even though it was tough to digest.
No different with something like Heavy Rain-- the main goal is to connect the gamers and ...
This guy mentions lag but it did not exist on the beta. So I'm not sure what's going to happen with the final product. Everything else like the movement seems subjective.
There are some bigger issues though, like the fact that M-Com stations can be destroyed through toppling buildings, using C4, tank shells, crashing into it, etc.
Attackers should have to actually plant charges because nobody does that if they can just suicide bomb or have the defenders themselves bl...
and yeah, ME2 got a 7/10?
And I thought Eurogamer was tough :P
This is a no name site anyway, but a review is a review and I'll take the content into consideration more than the score
@Dante
That's some tough scores. I find it funny that this is the first time I've heard of this site-- you'd think with scores like that they'd attract more heat.
yeah but it's like everybody wants to show off their e-peen for something that's so "eh".
I mean this hardly is "the best kill ever".
And I can't believe this got approved too, I don't mind a good laugh or two but there are so many submitted, especially for MW2.
I have never played an MGS game sadly but the best rain I know exists in all the Grand Theft Autos.
Each of them were unique-- the static image of San Andreas, the way droplets of water splashed on the screen on Vice City, and the detail in #4.
But that doesn't make it a bad game no more than True Crime and Saints Row are bad games though they are GTA rip offs.
Good score for a good game. Can't pick it up right now but maybe one day... after I start the GoW series
I never claimed to have a valid opinion, I've always speculated on MAG. Why is that so hard to understand?
You ignore what I actually write as "excuses" when they are legit reasons. I can't convince you of my personal matters so if you have doubts, that your problem. The fact of the matter is that you keep accusing me under false pretenses.
"A specific question,why persist in something you care little for"
I already answered this.
Why do you assume I'm not "truly" interested? did you not read what I said? I started off not interested but I'm become interested with the scores and videos I see.
I'm "concerned" because I AM interested and I would LIKE to pick it up. But I've had doubts about MAG which is why I have concerns with it. I also like to comment on the game because it's on my console and it's a big title.
Stop speaking in riddles and say what you have to say.
...
But what's with all these MW2 kills and UC2 kills getting approved? This hardly counts as news or anything important. There is a forum on N4G, hell I even think they have an Uncharted-specific subforum. Why not post it there?
Look, I already told you in the previous article, if you had something specific to bring up, then bring it up. I already explained this to you but you never replied back. Are you here to clear things up or just continue probing and implying that I'm some anti-PS3 troll?
"You plan on getting it yes?"
Yes, but its dependent on the future. If the community is strong, future games I may be interested in, etc.
"You already have it,in that case ignore my abov...
Unrelated: Pretty big Muse fan myself. They are coming to my city and I hope that I can go see them :)
Anyways, they mentioned that the connectivity issues were very rare, but they still reported them.
Technical awkward issues are a given-- the animation and some technical kinks are expected in a massive game like this
And I'm thinking he means command position-- watch the video review.
@nix
Ironically enough, the last time I f...
The Good
* Well-integrated command structure
* Quick, tense action
* Lots of ways to make your mark on the battlefield
* Large, well-designed maps.
The Bad
* Can be tough to get a command post
* Some technical awkwardness
* Occasional connectivity issues.
Seems like a fair review. They liked the game, and an 8.0 is a great score. I really hope people don't complain about it being too low.
Also I'm s...
First, the GO is such a waste of money.
When somebody looks at the Playstation product they see that they can get a portable device for $250, or better yet, get a whole damn package for $50 more.
I can only imagine hardcore fans of DD, the PSP, or heavy portable gamers who are always on the Go wanting the GO.
Sony needs to really drop the price because in all honesty I'd just get another PS3 for $50 more.
The GO may be cool, but there are ru...
Not only are you making irrelevant points (MAG has nothing to do with this), but you are also wrong.
A good amount of Level 5 fans, myself included, wanted Dark Cloud 3. Now, I'm all for new IPs but the whole premise of this game doesn't compare to the brilliancy of Dark Cloud.
Nobody asked for WKC and I'm sure as hell Level 5 didn't make this game because some fans asked for it. They decided as a team to make this game much like how Naughty Dog decided to make Uncha...
You notice it too? I can SWEAR I duck when getting shot yet I die. Also happens when I run behind walls. The hit detection/lag is so messed up on this game.
Here are my problems:
-Infinite noob tubes (if you use Scavenger or One Man Army perk. Unlike in #4 there is no consequence for using this attachment. In #4 they took away your first perk.)
-Poor maps (Loved every map in #4. Way too many nooks and crannies where people hide in MW2._
-Ridiculous and un...
The game is looking solid. I notice though, that the 360 version of the demo is suffering from lag. The PS3 beta was very smooth so I wonder how the PSN demo will turn out.
You know, it's really not that hard to top a game that had no beta, no MP testing, and no fair way to differentiate good players from bad.
Modern Warfare went from being my favorite game on my PS3 (#4) to my most despised (MW2). I still actually play the game (its fun with friends), but there is j...
well, it was already obvious but MW2 has been long dethroned in its MP first by MAG and now by the King, BFBC2.
I have to say, I cannot wait. For this Thursday when the PSN demo comes and for the release.
Wanna know what's funny? On Twitter the BC2 multiplayer designer invited Bowling to play a game with him when the game releases.
Well MW2 doesn't really have "combat", and I didn't find MW2's story predictable... it was just completely stupid, and full of ridiculous holes.
Value seems to be an issue people keep bringing up-- yet Single player games under just 10 hours are never questioned for value.
MP games are open ended so I don't know how much more of a value you can ask. You can't always say that for SP games.
But the reviewer seems to have gotten bored with the game rather quickly-- fair enough, but I don't think that counts as "value". The lack of SP is done intentionally so I wonder if reviewers are actually factoring...
