LOL.

So, let me get this straight. All these years they promoted Sony and made up all kinds of BS to slobber all over them. They were pro-Sony! Now, suddenly, you claim that they hate them?:lol:

So the magazine doesn't like the PS3 games coming out these days. Other magazines do. As said, depending on the people's attitude, one person's terrorist is another person's freedom fighter.

lol if someone says something a little negative about ps3 it's automatically so and so hates ps3. This game probably isn't worth that much anyway.

I can't believe the news on the upcoming EGM Warhawk review:

http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3161677

They'll honestly drop the game's rating if it's a penny over $30 downloadable over the PSN. I for one am buying this on blu-ray to get a second headset for co-op online play.

welll yeah... you're supposed to evaluate the game for the value it gives to a certain extent (not saying to AAA all games that are free, but the rating will be higher than if you had to pay 60$ for it)

[QUOTE="MADVLAD123"]Hey shadowrun was a multiplayer only game and it cost 60 dollars. That definately hurt its rating. Multiplayer only games should be 10-20 dollars MAX. KoreanX

Lemmings can deny it all they want, but I think with the multiple sources of evidence we cows have dug up over the past year, it's obvious industry media sources hate on the PS3.

It's the media's job to report the news.  They can't help it if the news is all bad.

FOr fully customizable characters and warhawks (air assualt vehicles), both online and offline multiplayer and the ability to take two (may be more) people on the same PS3 online at a time and it's only worth $20 max? I'm paying full price and all for that headset, but I have no issues doing so just for the game itself.

Shadowrun itself was really hit hard on gameplay from a lot of reviews I read. Hence the bad scores.

CSS cost 20 bucks and its going to be 10 time the game Warhawk will be

[QUOTE="DSgamer64"]And why would anyone with a right mind base a review off the online price of the game? That just seems like the most retarded logic that one could come up with.Forza_2

I have no idea what you just said.

PS: The game has been confirmed to be 40 bucks on the PSN. Go check the PSblog.

:lol: You need to learn to read then cause that is plain as day, what I just said.

Why would anyone knock a game's scorefor the price? If the game is good and is a quality title then it should be worth the money, if not then they have every right to lower the scores, but that should be for the game, not because of the price. If Shadowrun gets an 8.0 or whatever and has almost no single player for 60 bucks, Oblivion gets like 9.5 or whatever and for PC it was 80 bucks at release time and sayWarhawk gets a 9.0 or something like that. Does Shadowrun deserve the score it got because it was mainly online? Hell no, but if you can be kept happy with just playing online then it is worth the money you spent. Oblivion has no realmultiplayer so should it have recieved the scores it got? Depends on the value of the game, if you can get lots of fun game time out of it then no dout it is worth the money you paid. The same can be said for Warhawk though and people fail to realise this. For a 40 dollar game, if it is complete crap with horrible gameplay and no single player, is there justification for buying an online only game for that price? I do not think so. Even if Warhawk does not have single player it will still be fun and I am sure people who love online games will enjoy playing it, much like Unreal Tournament is really online heavy and the single player in previous games was lackluster, much like Shadowrun.

1up gave Shadowrun an 8.0 when it costed $60, but complains about Warhawk costing more than $30. I don't see why 1up doesn't just base the review off the Blu-Ray version. That is the one that probably 80% of consumers will buy anyway.

That right there tells me something is wrong - did they drop Shadowrun by a full point for costing 60 bucks? In that case, it was going to score a 9.0? Yeah.. right.

Lets say a game gets a raiting of 7.0...

lets say that game is 25 dollars...

now lets say that same game is 60 bucks

does it deserve a lower raiting??

yep. it does... all those questions were rhetorical.

"At the end of the day, though, Warhawk is going to be worth playing regardless of whether it's $30, $40, or even $60 with a headset, and my review will reflect that."

all claims of bias and lemmings denial aside you cant go giving games lower scores based on price its stupid, obviously if the price is completely out of the ordinary like $100 or something silly then yes you would need to question just how good the game is in relation to excessive cost, but for egm to do this to a game thats said to only cost $49 less than a normal game then i gotta start questioning if egm actually has some kind of agenda here

I'm not sure why some of you guys are claiming that there was a conspiracy against Lair. EGM stated that the controller system was flawed in Lair. Shortly thereafter Lair pushed back its release to change the tweak controller scheme. It sounds like EGM actually did EGM a favor.

So is GamePro and IGN any different?

I'm running out of game sites and Mags to read, because of fear that they are lieing....

I know no company is perfect, but which is more truthful? I tried to find out myself, but I am only a new member, anyone here who has been a long time member?

people love to hate, gives theirmedia (site or magazine)more hits and attention. I hate when people bash good games like lair, HS, halo 3, ME etc. But what can i do, that is the price of going on the system wars thread.

it's pretty sad when people start crying bias when a magazine reviews a game and gives is a bad score---of course it's bias. Well, none of you have played the game, so sorry for trusting the review over your own bias. BUT when a magazine gives something a great score, they're usually the first to site the magazine and source. Why is that? Gotta love those ignorant, blind fanboys.

umm... i don't really see a problem here, for instance, RE4 here got for Wii got a pretty high score, and the price was actually a factor in there, and that's only one example.

if a factor can be positive, it can be negative as well.


now with that aside... :lol: @ you for trusting EGN in the first place :P

EGM saying they'll drop the score of Warhawk if the PSN price is over $30 is complete crap..

i can see the logic in this decision if PSN was the only means to purchase Warhawk.. but PSN is in fact an option for purchasing Warhawk.. the other option is buying a harddisk copy of Warhawk for $60 that is bundled with bluetooth headset valued at $40..

do the math.. paying $60 for a hardcopy of the game that's bundled with a $40 valued bluetooth headset puts the Warhawk game at about $20 for those who plan to buy the game from a local retailer.. but if you're not interested in a blutooth headset or a hardcopy of the game, you can buy the game via PSN for the rumored price of $40 (not sure if it's confirmed yet) and save yourself 20 bucks over the retail offering...

what's the problem?.. :?..

bottomline, EGM cant alter their review score based on a single PSN pricepoint when there's an even better value in the retail store pricepoint.. the logic is fundamentally flawed..

and yea, i feel that Warhawk should cost $30 on PSN aswell.. regardless of that, i still planned to buy the hardcopy rather than the PSN download.. especialy with $40 PSN price, i'll be buying the $60 bundle since it's obviously the better value.. most would agree.. so at that point, who cares?... :?.. why should EGM alter the review score of this game based upon a PSN pricepoint that wont even affect a majority of the consumers?...
