You can get good enough at spawn-tubing.
It's highly annoying and something that should have been patched already.
WaW made it so that any noobtubes in the first 5-10 seconds were duds.
You can basically be screwed for simply spawning.
Anyways, MW2 has lots of issues, let's not get into them now.
It was an amazing kill though.
1) Marketability and pricing
2) Analog Support
I really do hope they add an analog stick. It's worrying me.
Look at the PS2. It reached it's max a long time before games stopped producing.
Reaching the maximum doesn't mean the console somehow becomes unplayable. MS has no need to make a new console simply because they are doing well with the 360. Also, if I'm not mistaken, they said Natal was the new Xbox.
MS's strategy is crystal clear:
Continue milking the 360 and keep dropping the price to keep up with Sony in order to keep ahead of them.
I jus...
Welcome to two years ago.
Thank you. I didn't mean to say that HR was ALL just QTE-- the fact of the matter is that that's what I've seen and that's what I've been hearing. I haven't been following the game as close as you have apparently.
@bjorn
Show me where I've had a problem with MAG. It's not my cup of tea. Is that so hard to accept? Now I've been meaning to try it based on how people have praised it, but show me where I've hated on MAG.
I criticized the fact that PS3 fans s...
Thought it was February...
I can't believe Bioshock is coming out this month I've been overlooking this game since it was announced.
I'm truthfully not planning on picking up anything this month. Saving for March :)
Though, I am anticipating the scores of both Heavy Rain and MAG, which still needs to be reviewed by major sites still.
Hate it.
Old school simpsons was the best, they are terrible too now.
What are you talking about?
I appreciate HR. If you are going to make some baseless accusations then back it up.
It wasn't a jab. To my understanding, Heavy Rain is QTE-based with some adventuring.
Am I wrong? Please tell me if I am, I would love to know.
Don't give me some BS about being a troll if your comment was directed at me Madden. If you are replying to me, then reply to me directly.
You call me a troll despite not knowi...
So when given solid evidence of Eurogamer giving high scores to the PS3, you ignore them as "exceptions"?
Sorry, but that is seriously naive. In fact, that falls right in line with conspiracy theorists who, in light of evidence, will continue to fight some vague crusade (not directed entirely at you, but in general). And look, Resistance 2 and LBP even got a 9/10 according to the poster above you. Are those also "exceptions"?
LBP even got GOTY fro...
It's clear that the game has its flaws. Have you played it?
10/10 only leads to serious criticisms and makes people question the amount of hype that goes into a review.
Also, he gave it a 9/10 and your asking for a 10% increase. If he gave it a 9.9 then I would understand, but that's a little extreme to bump a game up by 10%
UC2 10/10
Demon's Souls 9/10
GOTY: UC2
I hate these conspiracy theories. Eurogamer is just fine, they are though, a little different. They aren't "known" to give 360 higher scores as if they are fanboys. Do you have any particular case or are you just vaguely trying to imply something?
Also, this is EU France so we still have to wait for the English Eurogamer.
Still, this isn't the only AAA score HR has gotten so far.
It's a game where you push a stick and press a button. That's mostly (or all) what Heavy Rain is in terms of gameplay. Yet, it manages to capture the gamer and create an experience that seems unrivaled since something like Shadow of the Colossus.
Amazing accomplishment if a dev can do that IMO. It's evident that this is going to be a rare, unique title. HR started off as a crazy idea yet it seems to be impressing critics. I'm excited solely because this is what I look for in sing...
True, but come on, it's a game. I would find being able to go prone a much bigger problem in a game like Bad Company. Open environments, lots of terrain, etc. Snipers already have a pretty good advantage.
Also, in K2 you could one hit kill as a sniper even if you shot someone in the damn toe. So going prone would make snipers even more dangerous.
Why are you bringing MAG into this? Is that your sole decision to choose MAG? Because you can go prone?
Anyways, K2 didn't have prone and nobody had a problem. In BC2 I assume snipers want to hide, but that's what bushes are for.
I'm more concerned with:
1) Killcams, giving away your position REGARDLESS OF PRONE
2) Spotting and tracking players
Thankfully there will be a hardcore mode removing both of those.
I think at the...
What I find ironic is that nearly NOBODY had a problem with the early reviews because they were actually positive. People only looked at the AA numbers and were happy with it, and didn't ask questions. Once the 6.8 score came in people then threw a fit. Their reason was valid, but they were so passive with the positive scores that came out pre-embargo.
Bit hypocritical from fans all around. I don't think anyone has a valid reason to defend the pre-embargo reviews, but people tend to for...
This is definitely going to average around AA. I have high hopes that GS and IGN US are going to rate it 8.0+
IGN US is usually more lenient, but Gamespot is a bit tougher-- though I find that their reviews tend to be put off for so long. I assume they are spending lots of time with MAG, and it's well needed considering this is an online only.
Yup, solid review, solid score, solid game.
MAG achieved what it wanted to and it did it successfully.
It's a matter of subjective taste whether you are into the style of gameplay or not, but it's certainly intriguing. I want to pick up MAG not for the # of players but because the # of players seems to reflect a team-oriented style of gameplay.
If teamwork is as big as fans are making it out to be then I am really frustrated that I am missing out.
The game seems to be averaging right on the 80 spot, with some reviews going under that.
My prediction was something in the 70s so I am pleasantly surprised.
I have questions for people who own the game:
-What is the major difference between PMCs? Is it just the design? Do the guns play a difference? I know RAVEN is supposed to the most advanced, but does that mean they have the best firearms that other PMCs don't have?
-What is the biggest...
Dammit, I meant to say:
MAG gives a reality to check to people who think graphics > gameplay.
A lot of people think I'm trolling. I assume that my one-liner sounded incredibly sarcastic like Bungie's does. Don't worry about it though: people can spam it all they want, until they actually have the ability to formulate a response the disagrees are just a tool for people to hide behind.
