My bad. You gotta admit, though, with a name like that, it sure sounds like PS3-central.

Latest MAG Reviews Lack Credibilitysayonara89

Perhaps, I'm purchasing the game tomorrow and will definitely leave impressions as follows.

[QUOTE="II_Seraphim_II"][QUOTE="blue_hazy_basic"] I'm pretty sure EVERY other game manages to do it, why shouldn't MAG?blue_hazy_basic

All I know is that I throughly enjoyed the beta. Because I enjoyed the beta, I am going to buy the game. Simple as that.

Never heard of the site, one thing, how can you review a game without experiencing its main feature?

Please let the reviews come AFTER the game is released, how it was meant to be.

-_-

Man that game will suck...i mean i would much rather have twice less players for twice higher metacritic score :DBus-A-Bus

So you base your enjoyment of the game on it's metacritic score? or how some reviews turn out?

Wow dude. Really.

[QUOTE="blue_hazy_basic"][QUOTE="II_Seraphim_II"] games like MW have a single player component, and their online netcode is far simpler than that of a game like MAG. You can release MW or Halo or Killzone out there early and people can play the single player and review it, and you can probably have the online aspects up and running early, because the online servers and code are much smaller and less complex. A game like MAG that thrives online only takes a lot more than MW's servers. It has a consistent world, and the servers have to deal with a lot more, it's by far a bigger task. And what's the point of opening the official servers early? So 20 journalists can review how a game designed for 256 players plays? How does that work? Even if they opened the servers early and gave the reputed sites early access to the game, how would they review it. That's like reviewing WoW after playing on a private server and completely forgetting that interaction with other people is a crucial part of the game.II_Seraphim_II

Yeah, and the pick like No More Heroes launch date to release this game...

Fixed. :D

Man that game will suck...i mean i would much rather have twice less players for twice higher metacritic score :DBus-A-Bus

Well, only one mode in MAG is 256 player, Capture the track (i don't remember real name) is 128 player mode and sabotage got only 64 players

It didn't flop. i mean, look at what Sony named it as...MAG

M.A.G = Mediocre Average Game

the name says it all

Same site gave ODST a 6.3... AAA on Gamespot confirmed :lol:

6.8 ? not bad.. socom got lower than that here and i think socom is the best online game out now

In all honesty anyone who was not an extreme fanboy could tell it would be a flop. The beta killed my interest and it really looked generic. The 256 or so players also kills it for me because in all honesty, 3 months from tommorow i could put money on the fact that they will struggle to even be able to get one game completly full.

well after being in the closed beta and playing a bit of the open beta, this isn't surprising. It's a shame because it's a decent game, but doesn't have the lasting appeal for an online only game.

Also the community was generally very fun to play with :(

Wow dude. Really.

No,but if game is metacritic 7 for example then i am sure that game is mediocre,but if it is U2s 96,well i think it is safe to say 100 reviewers cant be wrong...

M.A.G.= Massively Average Game

Since these reviews are based on the beta ill post my opinions of the game when I pick it up tomorrow morning.

Flop for sure.

or just read the first paragraph and see that their "review" is more of them complaining on how everyone was playing as a "lone wolf" and not caring to play the game tactically at all which is THE ENTIRE POINT OF THE GAME. If people go into this game expecting COD of course they are going to think it isnt good, because it is not that sort of game where you can just run around on your own get 15 kill streaks and send in a helicopter for more cheap kills...the game requires strategy, tactics and teamwork in order to be successful...I hope this game does get bad reviews so it can weed out all the COD playing noobs and the actual gamers who want to play a strategic FPS on a console can do so unhampered

8.0 seems pretty... expected. Honestly it weird, with most games you either get a higher than expected score (if slightly) or lower, or it flops completely. MAG hashad an 8.0 hype for a long while now, reviews will probably go from 5.0 to 9.0 depending on who is reviewing.

this "review" is garbage.. the reviewer makes some100% false statements(like saying that objectives arent always displayed when current objectives are indeed always displayed both in the top left corner of the screen and also the current objective is always highlighted in line-of-sight no matter where u are on the map)) and he spends 3/4 of the "review" talking about how dismissive both the game and Zipper appear to be in terms of holding the players' hands instead of talking about gameplay specifics.. apparently this guy wants all "large scale strategic battles" to be played out like tic-tac-toe.. personally, i dont see how Zipper could have made organizing and communicating a 256 player war more simple.. maybe this guy has a better idea.. if he does, he certainly doesnt illustrate how he would make improvements during his blog, er review..

basically it's plain to see that the reviewer obviously based his impressions on the unfinished beta since the actual game servers dont go live until tommorrow and Zipper has already made significant improvements to the game since the beta 5.0 which can be found here:

http://blog.us.playstation.com/2010/01/mag-beta-vs-final-game/

so can someone please tell me how this person has reviewed the "final game" based purely on the incomplete BETA?.. beyond that, how do you review a game of this scale when you obviously havent even reached the upper command levels which is evident from the fact that he makes little to no mention of MAG's chain of command structure which is one of MAG's primary innovations?.. lol, i mean he acts like he's so confused about how the game should be played when nearly any gamer whose played the up to level 6 should have a firm grasp on what's going on in MAG.. maybe he should have played the training mode first, oh wait, the training mode wasnt unlocked during the BETA but will indeed be available during the final release.. yet another thing he forgot to mention..

but ofcourse, this is the review that points to floppage right?.. even the other couple reviews (which have all been 8 out of 10 so far) lack true credibility but atleast go far more indepth that this biased blog that someone wants to pass off as a "review"..

just another day in SW..

those standards being run around get 15 killstreak, call in a chopper and get 10 more cheap kills? is that the standard you speak of?

Not saying its not a 6.8 game but that review is pointless. No credibility. As for my impressions based on the beta... The gameplay is very good. However it lacks a visceral punch(graphics & sound are flat out bad).
