While I don't think it will score well because it is priced at $60 compared to its content and people are whining about teh graphics, I do think it is fun and addicting. If that is a fail then so be it. It doesn't really matter what the players who don't want to play it thinks or that they would rather play hyped up graphical beasts.... it is what the people who do enjoy it think and how well they can help shape it going forward post release. They are going to be playing it with or without you Battlefield/Modern Warfare fanboys. Allthey really need for a good multiplayer game isfun competition and an addiction to it and to Zipper to listen and deliver on issues asap on things post release. Graphicsor art style aren't extremely important in multiplayer games imho. People oftenbashed Warhawk for the same thingslike graphics , mechanics , animations , art atyle , controls , "teh generic"argument, etc. It overcome all of those things and so coulddepending on how Zipper handles it. Hopefully they can incorporate more game modes and layouts within those large maps free of charge. At $60 that would be my hope.
I can definitely see why the hardcore gamers are attracted to it. With the leadership roles , objectives , getting your friends orclans together in squads , the fragos and skill point/perk system , the ability to mix and match abilities and have a bunch of custom loadouts , etc. I really don't care if it is not casual enough for the gamers who are more impressed with blowing a hole in a building or having some bad arse visceralfeeling weapons ,vehicles , or graphics.One can still find satisfaction in other ways with a team based multiplayer game. Peoplecan get that through various ways in the game. Whether that is leading , whether that is working together with a person in an apc , whether that is repairing or destroyingartilary , bridges , roadblocks , gates , vehicles, whether that is healing teammates , etc. There's a lot of depth and satisfaction to it while staying simple with it's pick up and play mechanics and highlighted objectives.
This will probably be my last post on teh failure that is MAG. There's not much pointin talking about agame thatso manyothers thinkis a laughable or pointless game over and over again.
