'Build and Battle,' multiplayer action shine in 'Starhawk' | CNN

(CNN) -- Using a new "Build and Battle" game mechanic, "Starhawk" offers more than your typical third-person shooter, tapping ino the player's strategic thinking while creating an enjoyable ride.

I love Warhawk and played it since the beta. I was also in the Starhawk beta. Now I got Starhawk day one but the game is not well balanced as Warhawk. I enjoyed the story but the multiplayer just feels wrong. In warhawk you can have battles all over the map but in Starhawk it just seems like the battles are just in the Spawns. Its seems like the team who has the tank convoy first will win everytime. They need to make the stuctures a little more powerful from damage. And once you spawn in and your spawn is packed with enemy tanks the game is over cause no one can spawn in long enough to build anything. I just wish I can enjoy Starhawk as much as Warhawk. Oh well, I'll keep trying to enjoy it.

Give it time. Warhawk didn't start out great and it also needed patches/balancing. Once that happens, Starhawk will live for a long time to come.

Enjoying the $hit out of starhawk even if some weapons or vehicles are over powered (tanks and hawks with cluster bomb). Whenever i join a game that is unbalanced due to one team having more players than the other or any other reason i just move along to the next server. Those issues are always going to be present because alot of that has to do with the players and at what point you joined the game. If i head into a server and see 5 hawks on the enemy team circling around and none on my team im out because i know that game will be unbalanced.

I hope they don't nerf anything. I like it. There is a perk where you can be a walking spawn point.

Starhawk over Warhawk?...... Dude, NO ONE should listen to you.

Odd choices for "best" more like you settled as these being the "best" that available to you at the time, cause a lot of these blow or were average to poor performers that ended up in bargain bin.

Missing too many great sci-fi titles here. The Void, The Resistance Series, Killzone 2 and 3, Enslaved, man.. there were so many, this is redicu-list.

FreeckyCake12d ago

Nobody should listen to you either with that attitude.

I agree that Starhawk shouldn't be above Warhawk, however I must say that Starhawk multiplayer was incredible for its time! Many people wrote it off bc the single player was quite terrible, bc it was basically 1 huge tutorial for the multiplayer. But I can tell you never spent any significant amount of time in MP. It was doing incredibly tense base building w air, foot and land vehicle (and mech!) combat long before Fortnite was ever a thing.

I bet it would have been much better received if it had just ditched the story mode all together. So many people like yourself completely wrote it off based on reviews by reviewers that let the criticism of single player weigh heavily on their scores. I bet you didn't even play it.

The riddick games are some of the best stealth titles ever, highly underrated

YourMommySpoils12d ago

What games? All recall plating was Escape from Butcher Bay.

Friendlygamer12d ago (Edited 12d ago )

There's also the less acclaimed 'assault on dark Athena'

( also, not saying this to you specifically but there's both resistance and killzone games on the list, it's amazing how even something so simple and innocent as a game list can be turned into misinformed vitriol here lol )

Glad to see Resonance of Fate. Enslaved was pretty good too. I’m sure there are others nobody has listed but I’m too tired to try and think of anything

Roundtable: Dead Game Franchises We Miss

With every big game now belonging to a big intellectual property, there are those that have become redundant. Here are the series' we miss.

RPGer1088d ago

I miss Dark Cloud I mean damn, Dark Cloud 2 is one of the best Action RPG game ever made. The game have: Rich Worlds, different setting, tons of contents, vareity in gameplay like never before (and even after), best buliding mechanics, crafting system like no one did and finally impressive graphics.

Most underrated game ever. It deserved the popularity and sales of Zelda and Final Fantasy. ut unfortunately, Level-5 and Sony didn't advertise it at all.

titans99991088d ago

My franchises I wish would make a come back, are Battlefront by pandemic studios - galactic conquest was the best, mercenaries 1 and 2, and prototype 1 and 2...great games!
