Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor Review - AusGamers

AusGamers has reviewed Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor and writes:

"It had been years since Sergeant Powers had piloted a vertical tank, but the scene seemed so familiar. The VT perched on its legs in regulation khaki camouflage, even the crew was regulation, the Italian-American with attitude that swore too much, the minority African-American that spoken nothing but street slang, not to mention the over-nervous radio operator. No, not much had changed, even in 2082. Well there had been some changes of course, there was the silicone-eating virus that decimated computer systems worldwide in 2020 for one, and of course the Chinese, or Uncle as they were called, invaded America. But truth be told that hardly registered, like it was skipped over or unrecognisable in its introduction, suffocated at the hands of cliched military rhetoric..."

Just the latest bomb in the list of games that David Dennis said would satisfy core gamers.

I know I should refrain from even commenting, but...

well, I'm certain SOMEONE will have a reason why this review is wrong, and why all the others which give it a 4.3 average are wrong.

testerg354316d ago

Oh I didn't know this was a PS3 game.

What that really means is he has personal issues and proves what a blatant fanboy he is. Why he continues to comment in articles that are no interest to him is beyond me other than some disturbing conflict he has with XBOTs that probably at one time trashed a Playstation 3 exclusive.

Hicken then writes:

So? Don't you do the same thing with Gravity Rush whenever a lower than expected review arrives? Tell us, did you do the same thing with Sorcery? Sorcery got pretty bad reviews too, were you acting like this in those topics? I doubt it, you seem to keep all that negativity and ignorance aside until the time comes when it's to do with Microsoft related games because you think carrying on this conflict between Playstation 3 fanboys and XBOX360 fanboys is somehow productive and healthy.

Hicken, you shouldn't care if this game got 10's across the board and sold 10 million copies or if it got 1's across the board in reviews and only sold 10,000 copies. You're not interested in Kinect, Kinect enabled games or any game on the XBOX360 for that matter. So do everyone a favour and get a life. Stick to talking about what interests you instead of being a goof just for the sake of being a goof.

Why From Software's worst game is worth learning from

Eurogamer:

"Heavy Armor might be the perfect Kinect game, or at least, the most honest, because it reveals how interesting life can be when technology gets in your way. Green-lighted way back when Kinect was known as Project Natal, the game posits a near-future in which a silicon-guzzling microbe has devoured every computer on the planet, setting back the science of combat to roundabouts the close of the first world war. Deprived of GPS, drones and other decadent trappings of 21st century warfare, the Earth's nations are obliged to duke it out in gas-powered mechs or "vertical tanks" that handle as elegantly as elephants in high heels."

Of course it is. You have to learn from your mistakes

Godmars2903183d ago

And the reason that it was one of From Soft's worst games is that it was tied to poor game accessory.

plmkoh3183d ago

TBH the game looked interesting on it's debut.

_-EDMIX-_3183d ago

Not something I want to remember that existed.

audiocafe3183d ago

As much as I like From's Souls games, I'm hoping they release another Armored Core at some point.

...just had to throw that out there

TheColbertinator3183d ago

Armored Core or Tenchu would be cool with me

Ignore death threats

It always seems like the video game industry can’t go a single week without handling death threats of some sort. At this point, they almost come with the territory for game developers, critics, or anyone else a select few people don’t like. However, the only way a person who receives death threats can combat them is by doing absolutely nothing.

Top Tuesday - The 10 worst video games ever.

MWEB GameZone writes: "The things that you love the most, are also the things that can hurt you the most. Which is just an unnecessarily complicated way of saying that there are really, really bad video games out there and they'll make you feel bad.

We've compiled a list of these aberrations so that you don't ever have to play them yourself."

plut0nash3580d ago

Star Trek was pretty shocking.

How did that Custer game get approved ?

Different times I guess.

plut0nash3580d ago

Bills needed to be paid I guess.

CongoKyle3580d ago

I really thought the picture of the horse was a real game. Not even sure why I'm disappointed it isn't ;/ Also, Survivor? What's the real aim of the game? Survive the opening credits?

HanCilliers3579d ago
