Looks like an enjoyable game :)

showtimefolks4342d ago

it is a very good game and story is a lot of fun but MP is the real piece of the pie, There is a patch coming soon i think early next week. also devs have said they will release a lot of free dlc and new modes

if you ever played warhawk you know the community will stick around

fun game

aaronon

sometimes that does happen but the next patch is suppose to fix a lot of things, also don't forget every online shooter has its share of issues but i feel like this game has a lot less issues

ThatIrishGamer4342d ago

Traded it in today. . .Every game of Zones you join the enemy has control of 4 zones. . .and they have about 8 tanks in your spawn. . .yes. . .in your spawn. . .so the second you spawn - you're blown up by a tank.

Even in TDM (where enemies should NEVER be allowed in your spawn). . . the enemy can build tanks and sit in your spawn blowing you up as you break out of your pod.

Worst game of multiplayer I've ever played - most unbalanced in history. . .DON'T BUY IT.

BitbyDeath4342d ago

You do realise you can spawn on top of them right?
The game isn't unbalanced, it just requires a lot of skill to play.

ThatIrishGamer4342d ago (Edited 4342d ago )

You can drop on them yeah. . .and then that guy spawns out side your base at one of the many tank building centres they've built.

While another tank in your spawn blows you up.

It's hilariously woeful.

Hence on 60million PS3 consoles - it has sold 130,000 in two weeks.

I'm glad it's flopped - devs need to learn you can't release such dirge.

Such great potential - ruined by absolutely mundane and simple game design choices.

I mean. . in tdm. . .ALLOWING PEOPLE IN ENEMY SPAWN? Other developers would cringe.

Dropdeadll4342d ago

I agree with aaronon the spawn killing is bad. I don't think this game requires a lot of skill, just party up with decent people, take advantage of hawk & tank and you'll finish matches with a ridiculous kd.

BitbyDeath4342d ago (Edited 4342d ago )

@Dropdeadll, not sure if you've seen but both the Hawk and Tank are getting neutered this week.

I agree they are both overpowered. I haven't had much issues with enemies in my base though cause i usually either take them out or run off and setup camp elsewhere.

VverdugovV4342d ago

How much did you play anyway? When ever I join a lopsided game I just search for another game. Yes there are some things that need fixing like tanks taking only 2 rift bars to build and some of the hawk's pickup weapons, but you should of at least waited for the patch to be released before deciding to trade it.

HammadTheBeast4342d ago

Could've waited for the patch...

Godmars2904342d ago (Edited 4342d ago )

I was in the same situation, I did it, others picked up on what I did and we retook our area.

Still lost, had a big body count, but we gave as good as we got.

Join a clan. Don't go into a game alone. Have at least three others of you clan with you and have a plan.

Edit:
Just like these guy say but don't seen to note, if you come in with a "team" willing to stick out a fight and able to fall into roles if most don't have mics, then its going to be a good fight.

Go in with an actual team, have mics as well as a plan and its going to be a whole other level.

And yeah, have a mic, just don't use it :p

BitbyDeath4342d ago

Exactly, being able to contribute and help turn the tide is much more exciting than being in a stalemate or winning imo

VonBraunschweigg4342d ago

Then why did you spawn? Why press X to spawn when you can see the match is already won by the opposing team BEFORE you spawn? Games do not always end in a stalemate, some teams actually win, and the (pre-spawn) map shows that, so you can still select another game, from the serverlist.

But no, I'm not using the serverlist and it's filters, I do not check on the balancing options and vehicle loadouts, I do not check the map before I actually join the action...I just use matchmaking to blindly drop to my death and go on N4G to show I haven't got a clue on what this game has to offer.

If you don't like it, fine, but your complaints are complete BS, and your advice on not buying the game is just plain stupid. Spend a few hours and you'll see this is a very well balanced game, with lots of different ways to play.

Very addictive, and the online set-up makes it child's play to avoid the situations you're wining about. In fact you have to be quite dumb not to be able to avoid those. Use the freaking serverlist and it's options, don't spawn if your spawn is all red, how hard is it, really?

I would love to see bots added, just because I want to play solo sometimes. I think it could make for an interesting mode online as well. One on one matches where you command your army to showcase the rts elenents, and your bots can level up like dragons dogma pawn system.

Tdmd4342d ago

I'd love that too. Was on the wrong idea that there would be boots to play offline when I bought the game. It could also improve the offline coop - which is very meh in this game.

Not a single Reistance? Fuck this article.

mastershredder5d ago (Edited 5d ago )

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.

FreeckyCake5d ago

Nobody should listen to you either with that attitude.

OtterX5d ago

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.

Friendlygamer5d ago

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

YourMommySpoils5d ago

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

Friendlygamer5d ago (Edited 5d 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 )

jznrpg5d ago

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.

RPGer1082d 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.

titans99991082d 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!
