Homefront 7.0 at IGN

Seems like it was almost good, 5 hour campaign though :(

think he reviewed the 360 version

If we're talking strictly about the game's plot, setting and characters, Homefront is a huge success. And I want to see more from this fictional universe.

It is good to see such high praise for plot and story.

The PS3 version should score a little better because it looks noticably better.wooooode

That seems like strong praise to me:

I liked Homefront a lot, and yet I acknowledge that the aspects of the game I like the most aren't the most important in determining whether the game is great or not. Homefront is certainly one of the most unique shooters I've ever played, driven by an ingenious and surprisingly well-fleshed out plot and a dark and dreary, realistic setting.

Well the presentation got a 9.0 that's good and it plays like COD so why give it a low score?TheGuardian03

Because THQ didn't provide IGN with a suitcase full of cash like activision?:P

I'll need to play this to see these "dated graphics" for myself. Everything I've seen of it has it looking better than CoD, which continually gets a free ride on its graphics. This may be the first game I rent in quite some time.

They gave graphics a 6.5 because it wasn't like killzone 3 and crysis 2?

Can't do it. CoD is graphically subpar in every way. Seems like a dev would have to try to slip underneath that standard.

It looked like a 7.0 game.

There is so much wrong with this review...ugh...

Gameplay 7 Homefront feels like your typical shooter. It's fun, but it doesn't do anything new or exciting.

So does every yearly COD game and 90% of shooters, but they get high scores...

Graphics 6.5 Homefront isn't ugly by any stretch of the imagination, but it looks rather bad if you place it next to the likes of graphics-pushing titles such as Killzone 3 or Crysis 2.

What the **** kind of logic is that. No game compared to Crysis in 2007...They still don't. Also, COD games...

Lasting Appeal 7 This is tough. Homefront's single-player campaign is disappointingly short, but some of that deficit is made up by its robust multiplayer offerings.

You mean like every other shooter, but they all get high scores. Ugh...please IGN, stop with your incompetence.

Still going to buy it.

I thought the funny thing about the review was how he is saying he really likes the story and presentation, but people who don't care about those things uh, well, basically won't care about those things.

He's not giving his opinion, he's guessing the mainstream one. Hearsay.

Homefront reminds me a lot of Massive Action Game on the ps3, except with better graphics, and online.TheAcountantMan

What does this mean?

he probably meant offline.

Got the game a few hours ago, early for PC. Graphics are much better for Homefront on PC than on 360, they're not "spectacular" on PC, but they are good however and it's very enjoyable. The story is really GREAT. And the online is also good aswell, playing on PC with dedicated servers, no lag, some pretty large scale maps, Crossroads is one of the, with some pretty interesting game modes and the drones are pretty fun to play around with. It may not be a 10/10 game, but it's definitely great, a lot better than COD Blops for sure.

Glad to hear that. STEAM is downloading the game at the moment.

I'm mainly interested in the singleplayer, and I don't mind if it's short if the game really delivers (it apparently does). I also got Metro 2033 on release and I didn't regret it, even though it was very short as well and did not have any multiplayer.

Some really good points here. The game probably just didn't feel totally polished, so the reviewer refused to give a higher score, but the argumentation is just lacking.

If the game has a great plot then I want it. NOW!

The game is just 5 hours long. You're seriously gonna buy it for its story?

Because it plays like COD. :trollface:

COD s**** all over this game.

If you watched the video the reviewer was pretty much Biased with alter future history, which was probably the reason why he gave it a 9

[QUOTE="Lto_thaG"]Oh please.
COD sales like hell and scores like hell.People should get over themselves.
It's not insane or ridiculous to like COD.

To say HF would beat COD,yup,that would be insane.

Yeaaa and thats a positive:?

Buying the game regardless. IGN's review is the first low one (in comparison) besides edge.

And a lot of its critizism can be slapped on any other shooter....

they just didn't bring the reviewers "swag"

[QUOTE="Lto_thaG"] Yes,that's definitely a bad thing.Every game needs a great story to match the gameplay.
Please,at least COD has the courtesy of not trying to make a great story.

Lto_thaG

Yeaaa and thats a positive:?

No people are observiant when it comes down to any game really. Did you not see the backlash of KZ3 story. games can have a interesting plot its just COD doesint have that at least imo. That whole watch a movie or read a book excuse is old.

ill get it when it hits the bargain bin

why is every shooter trying to be like cod according to these forums? sheesh.:( cod f duty isn't the pinnacle of shooters.

Still going to buy it.

Enough about the 5 hour campaign, thats how fps are nowadays, black ops was like that, moh was even shorter, about 3.5 kz3 was about 5 hours and i saw a video walktrough of crysis 2 being under 6 hours.

Apart from that. The game looked and played far inferior to cod from that gameplay footage, so please, no cod comparisons here. Cod is king on what it does, homefront is a mediocre ripoff of it.dakan45
