Pretty good score, Im thinking 7.5 here
This topic is locked from further discussion.
I had guessed an 8.0 from GS but lately I'm thinking this is the Too Human of PS3 and a 6.5 now seems more likely. Still a good game but not what it coulda been.
Lack of single player campaign will always be its downfall score wise.Bread_or_Decide
Say that to Warhawk. Or Quake Live.
edit: lack of aim assist is a win though. still, i'll wait to see how the community gets on.
Lack of single player campaign will always be its downfall score wise.Bread_or_DecideYou're probably right, but I find this trend bothersome. With so much attention being paid to multiplayer gaming this generation, I find it troubling that so many game development companies feel pressured to tack on a multiplayer element to a game designed around a single-player experience. Conversely, I find it bothersome when a single-player mode is tacked on to a game designed around multiplayer (Call of Duty, for instance).
It seems to me that games should be judged on the basis of what they are and what they're trying to be--not what they're missing (unless it's a glaring omission). If Infinity Ward had announced that Modern Warfare 2 was going to be multiplayer only, I honestly believe most people would have been fine it.
In my view, docking points from a game like MAG because it doesn't have a single-player campaign is wrong.
Lack of single player campaign will always be its downfall score wise.Bread_or_DecideI disagree im thinking a mid 8 at most.
Lack of single player campaign will always be its downfall score wise.Bread_or_DecideWarhawk is one of the biggest communities on the Ps3, Same for Socom and both games have improved significantly since release, MAG will continue to be supported long after release as well. This is the kind of Ps3 game that has long lasting legs.

This is the kind of Ps3 game that has long lasting legs. I disagree. It's one of the biggest worried for this game. Warhawk, yes, that's still got the legs, after how long, 3-4 years? But still, 7 is a lot better than most realistic projections. Poor gunplay is adisappointing though. but then again, its not like COD has that great gunplay.

Something that turns me off is that they are still charging 60.00, despite the fact that it has no single player. It should have launched at 39.99 in my opinion. The game would be much more attractive at that price.
It is going to be as well received as any socom game and that is suddenly bad? Counter strike got poor reviews and look how that turned out. It is this 'blockbuster' bs that gets the industry all riled up nowadays. Modern warfare 2, Uncharted 2, and mass effect 2 fit this mould. And this is what I take for granted about the game industry. They are basically like the oscars. They will snub certain genres ('lack of jrpg innovation') and then go on and on about wrpg and shooters like no other.THE Superdupermegatron ps3 game exclusive that Sony Cows were saying that was going to be one of the best 2010 game is getting a 7
Well Thats a good score but no like fanboys predicted

or at 60 bucks with a earphone/mic included since this game is so hinged on cooperation.[QUOTE="Dycras"]???? That's what i was thinking.... never heard MAG was supposed to be a Halo killer, all i've heard from fanboys is AAA this and AAAE that. The game hinges on cooperation, which is very hard to get people to do. but this game is gonna be one of those ultimate clan battle games on the system.well i was right, total flop from the AAA halo killer the cows were hyping

THe whole point of the game was multiplayer aspect. It is like saying mass effect 2 should have multiplayer with its sole focus is on being a single player campaign. Both games are fantastic but they both aren't trying to pretend to be something they aren't.Lack of single player campaign will always be its downfall score wise.Bread_or_DecideShouldn't matter if the multiplayer focus is there - looking at dedicated multiplayer games. Didn't help Shadowrun and that actually had a pseudo single player bot component.

I am not faulting it for not having single player, I just do not agree with charging the same price as games that have both single player and multiplayer. Warhawk was a multiplayer only game and they charged accordingly. I think MAG would be much more attractive if it was priced similar.

Also, could you imagine how much more hype for Mag there would be if like S.R., Mag was also cross-platform on-line MP with PC. 8)

Why not. I've played PC games all my life and the best pc multiplayer games were the ones that didn't have single player experiences. UT series, Quake seires, Battlefield 2, etc. I am surprised that suddenly games like halo, and modern warfare 2 are the only attractive fps nowadays...[QUOTE="ironcreed"]

[QUOTE="Dycras"]???? haha i also loled at that, no one was hyping the game except me, and i never said it was a halo killer. Eurogamer gave Gears a 8/10 and MAG a 7/10 Gamespot gave Gears a 9.6/10 so MAg will probably get a 8.5/10 Intersting quote from that review "The irony then, is that the game which can accommodate the greatest numbers of players in the history of the medium will be best enjoyed by a dedicated few." This pretty much summarizes what i have said this game is for the hardcore and not for the causal, hence why it got the 7, since they were thinking of both. If it was only about the hardcore and their experience it would get a 9 and for the casuals this game would easily get a 5, balancing it into a 7.well i was right, total flop from the AAA halo killer the cows were hyping

You should wait a few months and buy it from the bargain bin. Things will only get better with time imo.Why not.

Well when you spend 30 million $ into making a great multiplayer game instead of 15 million and 15 million for an average single player and multiplayer like Resistance 2 I would agree. Warhawk had half the content this game had when it was multiplayer. It only had 5 maps at launch, and all the maps are half the size as this game. So why shouldn't a game that cost the same amount to make as a game like Uncharted 2 cost less because it is multiplayer only. Does it require a tacked on crummy campaign that waste time on the multiplayer aspects?Besides that warhawk sucked.

IF I ever buy it, it will definitely be on the cheap later on down the road.
Well you would be missing out, since i enjoyed this one more then warhawk :)[QUOTE="ironcreed"]

For a game that sucked it sure as hell still has a rather large and dedicated community. It scored fairly well review wise as well. With that, nice opinion you have there. Thanks for sharing.
As far as MAG goes, if you feel that 60.00 is a good deal for a game that only has multiplayer, then more power to you. As for myself, I happen to still love single player campaigns and the fact that this game is still 60.00 despite not having one is a negative for me. In a nutshell, whatever floats your boat, pal. I sure as hell will not be paying 60.00 for it, I know that much.
7 is a pretty high score from Eurogamer, sounds like AA material here (8.0).SolletThey gave Fable II a perfect 10.. lulz
