a 7 is not a mediocre score, it's considered a *good* score.

"Good" don't cut it when you're paying 60 dollars

Dont worry, he wont be back in this topic. He owned him self by providing no proof. His bashing is old and not funny.

I don't really know about his posting habits, however that claim was a little baseless.

Dont let the drake sig fool you, ive seen him bash the PS3 and its games many times.

Man I hate it when people are just too lazy to link, especially at lvl 25, just so they can post something first.

This doesn't surprise me considering the meta score. Your title is false, just to say. I think the main reason they sort of hated it is because the reviewer was getting pwned by S.V.E.R. and it gave him a sour taste :P

Mag is a hate or love it game, I would buy it if it was bundled with the headphone but apparently no, :(

Edit: oups sorry that was the UK score, 7/10 for US.

It doesn't?

I'm sure people will disagree with you, me included. It's all opinion on what game is worth $60.

7.0 is mediocre? O yeah, you don't like the PS3. Also learn some proper grammar.

Those aren't happening anytime soon :?

At least GS' inevitable AA score will silence some critics.

Technically, a 7 means good. The game itself is still mediocre though.

Playing the game should silence most of the critics, but most of the "critics" here haven't. I call it sham reviewing and fanboys always do it.

[QUOTE="racing1750"]Decent score, wonder what GS will give it? maybe a 7.5/10 ?Fizzman

If you use gamespots history with IGN reviews they tend to rate lower then IGN, but im leaning on it getting a 7-7.5.

This is interesting cause i am just wondering has GS ever put out a review before IGN? Seems like they wait to see what ign says then +/- .5

How can this game get a 6.5 for the graphics is mindblowing. It is the 3rd best looking multiplayer fps on the ps3 behind Modern warfare 2, and Killzone 2. It is blindness.

Expecting an 8 here, the GSreviewer who is in the midst of playing it seems to like it so far.

If Kevin Van Ord is reviewing it'll probably be AAA, it's obvious he prefers the PS3

You should remember what other multiplayer games look like. My god resistance 2 was ugly, warhawk was ugly, and Call of duty 4 modern warfare don't get me started. It is like the exception. This game does deserve a 8 or 9 in graphics. I would rip everything apart except for its multiplayer graphics. For a multiplayer game this looks exceptional.

You realize IGN counts the single player as well for graphics(which looked great at times), and it was 9.0 for graphics actually.

Resistance 2 was one of the worst looking next titles. So overrated Insomniac games should be ashamed with this title, and ign should be ashamed giving it a 9.5. POS worst game this gen. Any superlative will go hand and hand with that game. MAG is significantly better multiplayer experience and was condemned not because it was a casual experience (which I would argue it was) but hated on for some odd reason since its conception. The multiplayer experience of MAG is not graphically bad at all. I won't go on and on but anyone telling me it is anywhere lower than a 8 better give me great reasons why.

Fair score i guess. Not a bad game, but not a very good one either. The fact that it has 256 players at same time might make it stand out from the crowd of other average and even better shooters and probably grant them many copies sold.

Why because it is hyped IGN will give it a good score. I agree ign is going to give it a good score because it is hyped. If mag was hyped my god suddenly that game is worthy of a 9

That's how IGN works, they rate games based on their hype. Remember INfamous? they actually wrote an article that simply said "are you ready for the review?" and then they posted the AAA score 3 days later

It wasn't really hugely hyped. It just made an appearance in a lot of exclusive lists (which makes sense).

I believe it's only hyped AA here.

At least they didn't give prototype a 9 due to counter hype of a ps3 exclusive (like some other sties). I mean how could people honestly take game editors seriously when they are basically a tool most of them (with the exception of eurogamer gamespot giantbomb, and 1up which I like) for marketing.

I dont get the balanceing flaws he explained. I mean people like playing with that class more who cares. Its mainly cosmetic and I know why someone would pick sver over the rest. They just look cooler then the 2 other teams. Also who is this noob reviewer give me my other reviewers.

It's good Zipper tried to make something different, but I think they should have stuck with Socom.
