Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor Review (TheSixthAxis)

"Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor does not work. I don’t mean that on a conceptual level or as a critique against the narrative set-up. Technically, it doesn’t function. It’s broken. And not in the internet forum doesn’t-quite-work-as-I-expect ed way of using that terminology. It’s fundamentally broken."

WOW! I've never seen a game score this low.

Amy is last one that comes to mind and Review on the Run (Scott Jones) Ninja Gaiden 3 review. The Scott Jones one is great, because he is literally the world biggest NG fan and you can see/feel/hear his pain the entire review.

guitarded774321d ago

I can understand a very poor score if the game is broken... Steel Battalion is clearly broken and deserves a crap score. The 1 is a statement to the dev telling them to get their s#!t together.

What I can't stand is when a game gets a 2 (ex. Resistance Burning Skies) and the reviewer just doesn't like the game.

Kinect can make most hardcore games into crappy ass kinect games.

and xbox fanboys still say its for hardcore. lol

saladthieves4321d ago

This is further proof that there are things that Kinect is absolutely not suited for. Kinect has limitations that Microsoft doesn't want to admit to. There are things that can be achieved much easier with a controller with buttons.

Makes one question the whole Better with Kinect thing...

rezzah4321d ago

i once saw a game get -2, it was funny.

MariaHelFutura4321d ago

Big Muthertruckers? Cause that deserves a -2.

Blaze9294321d ago

anyone who played the demo knows exactly whats up with this game.

splinter4321d ago

Sadly it rings true with my experience of the game's demo... but I had hoped the motion recognition issues would be resolved by release :/

FlashXIII4321d ago

"better with kinect" trololololol

Hanuman4321d ago

Kinect is such a crappy piece of hardware. I gave it an hour in Forza 4 and haven't used it for gaming since. Worst gaming investment ever!

mt4321d ago

it is the worst idea from the gamers prospective however, you buying kinect means it succeeded from the business and advertising prospective.

Hanuman4321d ago

Actually my wife bought it for me (and herself!) resulting in a really akward Christmas moment with me having to pretend I liked it. But that still proves your point...

MariaHelFutura4321d ago

^^^^^

Hahahahahahahahahaha.......

Biggest4321d ago

Good on you, Hanuman. Your wife is a lucky woman. I think I would have cancelled Christmas.

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

Godmars2903182d ago

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

plmkoh3182d ago

TBH the game looked interesting on it's debut.

_-EDMIX-_3182d ago

Not something I want to remember that existed.

audiocafe3182d 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

TheColbertinator3182d 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.

plut0nash3579d 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

What has been seen cannot be unseen

Sillicur3580d ago
