[QUOTE="Sooshy"]Where do we place the blame for this one? Free Radical knows how to make a good game, so I don't feel right placing all the blame on them. Did Ubisoft rush them to get it out the door? Doubt it, seeing as they delayed the game one. Maybe the PS3 was just too difficult for them to develop for?foxhound_fox

It is Free Radicals fault, they tried to make a "realistic" shooter and failed. Their skill lies with arcade shooters.

Agreed. You cannot blame the PS3 because Free Radical dropped a delayed turd after months and months of trying to squeeze it out, lol. The folks in this thread acting as if the PS3 is the only system that gets bargin bin reject games are not fooling anyone. Every system gets it's fair share of crap, this is just yet another one to add to the garbage heap.

And no, I am not making excuses for the PS3. I'm just using common sense to cut through the fanboy jargon and state a fact. The Wii gets games like Cooking Mama that suck, the 360 gets games like Bomberman, Hour of Victory, and Tenchu-Z that suck. And the PS3 gets games like Lair and Haze that suck as well. No fault of the PS3 because the devs could not step up to the plate and deliver on a current gen console that other devs have no problem making great games on.

"LoLz, tEh POs3 iz Teh sucKZOrz!!111":roll: Fanboys will be fanboys, I guess.

Oh snap!

AC-360

Whats wrong? why the "Oh snap"?

Still gonna buy Haze? :(

Yes. :D

It is only a review after all, it's another person's opinion, I don't care much about reviews and it is the only bad review for people who do care about reviews so wait for other reviews.

i would like to correct you. Cooking Mama is fun. Secondly those 360 games werent hyped to be anything good. (i could be mistaken but i dont think anybody hyped up bomberman act zero like they did lair). Thirdly people are laughing because much like Lair this game was hyped to and the cows were all laughing saying "hahaha we have haze and you guys get nothing" so this is kind of like the lemmings saying "hahahaha they dont know that we just farted in their cereal and now they're eating it!" other than that i completely agree. It wasnt the ps3's fault the game sucked.

Everyone was like "Where's Haze-Unit?". I found a post of yours and looked to the right which said "ONLINE NOW" in caps. So I assumed you were just looking over this thread and crying :3

I never understood why this game had any hype at all... It looked mediocre and generic from the start.

First off, HAZE is gonna PWN regardless of scores.

Another thing to point out, it is going to be better than Bioshock which was a timesplitters wannabe.

Eponique

>_>

So, anything you wanna add?

I didn't like Bioshock and I think it is the worst game I've played, what does that make me?

seems the ps3 is th platform were good dev;s go to produce crap products :lol:

First factor 5 now Free radical Whats next cow's ? valve :lol ?

Gh0st_Of_0nyx

2 games Flop, and you claim that the Ps3 is the platform where good devs produce crap?

2 games from RESPECTABLE devs :wink:

Factor 5 produced amazing titles on a NINTENDO CONSOLE befor the ps3 and now its producing garbage like lair :lol:

Free radical was producing the awsome timesplitters and now its on the ps3 and we get garbage like Haze :lol:

So ys the ps3 is the platform were good devs go to produce horrible "exclusives"

You are being ridiculous, what about Naughty Dog, Konami, T2, Insomniac? I could Go on, The Ps3 has less garbage in its library than the Wii :? yet it doesnt make it the better system does it ?, 2 games by 2 different devs are not enough to back up your "outrageous flamebaitish" statement, if you hate the Ps3 with passion work harder to make it look bad because a lack luster game like Haze flopping is no big deal for those who like the system.

Naughty dog produced a AA titles from the previous AAA titles

Konami's mgs4 hasnt been reviewd yet

Insomniac produced the mega flop Rehash & clank

so again I say te ps3 is the place to go were good devs last gen go to porduce lackluster flops :lol:

And haze flopping is a "big deal" seeing as cow's hyped it last year with crysis like graphics's and even compared it to halo 3 :lol: It flopped like every other major exclusive on the platform so I dont see how you think im wrong actually.

Ok, maybe on GS Ratchet and Clank was a "flop" but with most sites it wasnt. Uncharted: Drake's Fortune was a hit out side of this site too, not to say an 8.0 is bad by any means. Incase you havent noticed, GS's reviews are increasingly becoming a joke. They even gave Mass Effect an 8.5, so that's a flop too huh? :roll:

Your argument holds no water... well besides Lair and Haze. lol.

Did people expect much from this game? I called it since last month, and it became offical once the demo was out.

Well, at least I've played the game then judged it, I didn't wait for reviews or anything, I saw a potential great game and I bought it just like every other game I buy.

It's quite clear that you prefer mediocrity over greatness. You've wanted HAZE to be amazing from the start, so I can imagine how this is going for you. Believe me, I've had games flop on me before -- i'ts not the end of the world, just a poor game. Also, you telling people that they can't trash it if they haven't played the entire game, well.... neither have you and you're claiming that it's going to "PWN". That's a tad bit misleading, wouldn't you say so? Overall, the critics have spoken and it says the game is poor-mediocre, which is what most people will judge it as.

HAZE-Unit

I am going to actually take your side on this one. We have all had the displeasure of being hyped for games that we thought were going to be great, only to see reviewers annihilate them. But, that does not mean that we still did not personally enjoy them for ourselves.

While I personally have zero interest in Haze after playing the demo, I will freely admit that I get hyped for games that ultimately score low all the time, and still enjoy them, regardless. Games like Viking: Battle for Asgard for instance. It got hammered in a lot of reviews, but I still enjoyed it myself.

Just ignore the fanboys, man. You have a right to dig whatever games you want. The ones in the wrong here are the ones trying to tell you that you have bad taste in games just because you do not share their viewpoints. And as much as I have ragged on Haze myself, I sure as hell am not going to act like I am superior to anyone who happens to like the game. Opinions vary, people. Deal with it.

Flawed Argument Ghost... Its hard to believe that you may actually think half of your post is right. Put aside the animal names and lol smileys for a while and read what I have to say.

First and foremost the amount of bashing in this Topic against both Haze and The Ps3 contradicts the golden rule of sw, only gamespot scores count To claim ownage, If IGN Scores counts for tiles like Haze why dont they for games like the megaflop rehash and clank which scored 9.4 there? Every time somebody pointed out IGN's score when that game was released the replies they received were "hahaha cows are running to IGN, 7.5 FLOP", Even though R&C was broadly acclaimed as best in series across the internet.

Uncharted form Naughty Dog scored 9.0s and above in the majority of sites too, If you check the players score here on Gs you'll find a 9.0, right next to it you'll find the critics score which happens to be guess what... another 9.0. You think gamespot has the last word? seriously? You are using gamespot scores as absolute Truths to judge games like ratchet and Clank and Uncharted, and that is unacceptable form an objective standpoint.

When IGN gives the Ps3 A 9.0 or higher, it doesnt count here, but it does when they give a 4.5? Regarding the Hype for Haze, I might be wrong, But I think It died for the most part after the Delay. As for the Crysis-Haze graphics comparison *Facepalm*

I thought it was pretty interesting how IGN said Haze basically had a great multiplayer, but it wasn't enough to offset it's horribly lackluster single player campaign. Perhaps it is just me, but this sounds EXACTLY like Halo2.

Haze = Halo2 *gets flameshield out*
