still flopped since many cows hyped it at a AAA, and cows don't start speaking for yourself saying how no cows did that when you're meaning you didn't do that :P

Ill be honest, I think its a miracle it didnt get a 6.5. All signs seemed to point at a B score.

Wow, it got the same score as S.T.A.L.K.E.R.?

I thought MAG was going to flop, 8.0...pretty good. I really thought it was going to be A or less. Congrats to MAG! :shock:

I see. Sounds like a reasonable score. It won't be a priority, but this review definately made me give this game a second look.

Kind of surprised. Would have guessed it would flop. Can't say I'm interested. I might give it a shot assuming the community actually understands how to use a mic, since none of my boys are getting MAG.

Funny how many on here could not care less about the score itself but only care about some hype in System Wars. All I keep seeing is Whew it did not flop or Whew it met the hype. People just just hype every game 0.5 so they will always be happy lol

Just curious...Do you know what a fakeboy is?

I have no idea what posters you speak of since you have not links, nor any names, but I'm sure you must have been counting a few Fakeboy's for your "Number of cows" quote.

Also, remember, just because a few radicals in any group (Lemming/Cow/Sheep/Hermit) say something about a console or game hype, doesn't mean they represent the Entire group. Why, that just wouldn't be fair for any group, would it?

I've been here a long, long, long time, this is the first time I have ever seen anyone say that now "Hype Threads don't matter, that's all of SW", what really matters regarding SW HYPE is what they saw from "some number of posters, that's what really matters".

Seems to be one of the biggest kinds of stretches regarding hype in SW, agreed? :P

Your Turn Heavy Rain, Get a 9.0, Im not interested in buying Mag, my next first person shooter needs to have a single player campaign and a good one while they're at it, So No COD or UT, Im guessing Half Life.

I trust the real gamers instead. 8.4 average user rating from 1000 votes. Sounds like a pretty decent game. Dont really get all the lemmings taking the shots in this thread, but i suppose i should expect it in SW.

Hype is always based on one official hype thread. Seriously we need to go back to one official method. So we can keep the flop system in check. The "Cows hyped it" AAA stuff or Lemmings were hyping it "GOTY" is getting to be a bit much. Then again you all should drop the scoring system all together ...but well thats asking too much.

one can always see a group of crazy fanboys (or real fanatics of certain games/genres/devs) hyping certain games AAA, that doesn't mean the general hype level will translate in what those people think, remember all type of fanboys do hype games for almost every exclusives in all systems (big profile games of course) that's how SW hype threads have worked all this time...I wish for instance the official hype threads come back once again. with the bets, that would give SW a big boost funwise speaking...

I trust reader reviews FAR less than those of critics. Go to IGN and read the more "polar" reader reviews of critically acclaimed games there to see what I mean.

I do miss the bets. I wonder if we can get Chris Watters to comment in this thread. I was wondering if the gunplay holds up, or is the game good inspite of a rather meh gunplay. One of the more consistant complaints that i got from beta players that i knew was that they just hated the gunplay all together.

A number of cows don't set the hype level. For almost every game there's people who hype AAAA on polls and stuff. That doesn't mean the hype is AAAA, the official hype is a consensus and the consensus for this was AA.

Just watched the video review he had nothing but good things to say about the game. I guess not having any single player hurt the game score.
