Could go either way on GS. The game's a solid 7.5 for me.

I haven't seen any hate for this game yet from critics. Unless, of course, a 7/10 rating is a bad rating. The only hate I hear are from fanboys who want it to fail just for the sake of failing.

It sure is looking like it.

Naa actually its more like "Like it or love it" i mean the low end of the reviews have been 7 which is still very solid and the high end has been in the 9s, if it was love it or hate it, you would see the low end of the reviews in the 5s and the high reviews in the 9s. I think "like it or love it" is more accurate description of the game

Agreed. But you know how people are here. If it isn't 8.5 or better, it isn't good. I believe some play the SW "game" more than actual games.

A 7.0 from IGN is hardly something to be proud of. a 7.0 game isnt inherently bad... but that isnt that great a review. It certainly seems like thats decidedly below average for titles as big as MAG (well advertised, anticipated, etc, not just tiny titles). A rating in the 7's isnt a fail... but it does not scream success, to put it mildly =p i dont think you want to bring up IGN's review if your defending the game.



my guess is 7.5 from GS, though I could be surprised. The reviews seem to basically say


Cool new idea (MMO type shooter with massive battles) but with many flaws. Solid combat, imba factions, more people in the game doesnt actually make it more fun yet.

I think actually a MAG 2 could show promise. They would have to make a lot of changes balancing various stuff, but some parts of it are fairly innovative and new. I think they will hit the wall of the fact that they are trying to make a game based on "squads" commanded by commanders and etc, so it is best with a high level of organization. The average player just will often just not try hard enough to achieve that level of organization, and more importantly, simply PSN doesn't have enough mics lol. It doesnt quite compare to other shooters when no1 has mikes and its uncoordinated, then it just turns into a chaotic "HOLD DOWN TRIGGER oh im dead.)

That's not my point. The other guy said is was a "love it or hate it" game... The lowest score so far for MAG has been a 7/10. That's a GOOD score. Not great, but GOOD. I don't see how the lowest critical rating for the game still being GOOD automatically makes it a "love it or hate it" game.

Sorry i didnt mean that a 7.0 sucks, i just wanted to use that quote. :P

Maybe this will hopefully trigger the death of the FPS genra. They are ALL really starting to get redundant.

Love that podcast. And giant bombcast. I wish Jeremy Parish was on it more, i usually agree with him the most. And surprising score, if the game works, then thats great. But from what I have SEEN, it looks a tad average. But some of the people who played it are having a good time, so thats nice. My bet is a 8 here.

I concur. Reminds me of Monster Hunter. That game either gets AAA or sub-A scores depending on the reviewer :P

Yeah. I've always seen it as A- = 9.0; A = 9.5; A+ = 10.

Well ME2 is single-player only, MAG multi only, but I think MAG has more story in the Shadow War and the community combined in all of ME lore. We are writing the chapters to a ever-lasting battle as we speak. It gives me shivers just thinking about what's next!

I agree with this. I haven't played MAG yet but I hope when I get around to it there is something that surprises me. Hopefully it feels more like SOCOM then MW2.
