Bodycount Review (Geek Revolt)

Daniel Hill of Geek Revolt writes:

"I honestly don’t think Bodycount ever stood a chance. First, the man who created this game as a spiritual successor to the well-received shooter black left the team about halfway through development. Then, I started this game the day after I finished the modern day classic Deus Ex: Human Revolution. What were they thinking releasing this game a mere week after such a big title anyhow? Maybe this isn’t my game, maybe some will like it, but either way, I find it to be generic in the most awful way possible."

Yea I did this review and it's my honest opinion. It is a mediocre, souless, annoying piece of crap. I think most gaming sites are giving it too much credit.

Then again I paid for my copy, all the big gaming sites probably got free review copies. We can't stand for this crap anymore.

The 1 is not because it is unplayable, it is quite functional besides the garbage controls. It is just so, generic and utterly outdated. Read the last paragraph of the review and you'll see what I'm getting at.

megalonagyix5037d ago

1/5 is a piece of shit,n ot mediocre.

TheComedian5037d ago

Errrr okay admittedly it sure as hell isn't the best game out but 1/5 is just harsh.If a game is 1/5 it means it is pretty much unplayable,uninspired and a broken glitchfest.That being said I wasn't planning on buying it anyway so a rental will do the trick.

snipes1015037d ago

Here's my thing. The game is entirely functional, I will give it that. However, given the ocean of other great FPS's out there, this one is just utterly horrible in comparison. I also don't use half ratings (1.5, 3.5, 4.5 stars ets...). I use 1 star, 2 star, 3, star, 4 star, 5 star in order to create a clearer difference between game ratings.

Three enemy types, three different environments and a meager four multiplayer maps spanning a small amount of generic multiplayer modes. As I said in the above comment, read my last paragraph and you will see what I was getting at.

I didn't do this for hits, it is just how I genuinely feel about this game. Read the whole review to get a better picture. I just hated it. I am honest and will give no concessions to games I think are lazily put together (like this one).

TheComedian5037d ago

Well I am not saying you did it for hits don't worry.I did read the last paragraph and also truly believe that this is how you feel about the game.Ok so far.What I do seem to point out though is this.The game is reharsed and unimaginative.It is still though technically playable.So that makes it a 2/5.As I said a 1/5 is reserved for an unplayable game at a technical level.A 0/5 is reserved for a non-existent game.Anything that can be played is 2/5 at least.So what I am saying is being a professional reviewer you should try and be as subjective as possible leaving personal feelings out of the reviews core.You could put a section like "reviewers' personal opinion" outlining...well your personal opinion.Also If you feel like that would be difficult due to the #/5 reviewing system you could try and use a #/10 or even better a #/100 system.I hope you like readers feedback. :) Cheers.

snipes1015037d ago

Point taken comedian. The only problem I have with the #/10 and #/100 is what's the difference between a 7 and an 8? An 86 and an 88? The five star system leaves little room for interpretation and shows it how it is.

Anyone? Anyone surprised? The demo was the quality equivalent of toilet water after diarrhea.

EA SPORTS™ WRC - Development Update

An update on EA SPORTS™ WRC.

Dear Rally Community,

Every great journey eventually finds its finish line, and today, we announce that we've reached the end of the road working on WRC.

'It marked the first time the studio had used the license in 18 years since 2022’s Colin McRae Rally 3.'

Can you not get AI to do proofreading?

TheColbertinator47d ago

Weird article written by a bot.

In any case I knew EA would ruin Codemasters.

badboyz0947d ago (Edited 47d ago )

Codemasters will likely close soon😞

Here’s the deal with this bullsh*t, and this is the single reason I f*cking hate digital, this wouldn’t be so much an issue if these people would give an announcement before they pull their games so people have a chance to get them before they’re gone. I mean, how hard is that to do?

Like, I prefer digital for the convenience of it and making me less of a hoarder, but stuff like this can drive me up the wall and I’m aware this also happens with physical games, but you can still acquire a game from eBay, though all scalped to hell, whereas digital you’re SOL… unless you have a PC.

spicelicka91d ago

Not to mention they also replace old base games with "bundles" back at full price. Some of the old and shittiest COD games are still full price on digital stores.

phatak91d ago (Edited 91d ago )

yup everything you said is correct, but with digital you can also acquire it lol thanks to piracy, thats what made me a pirate . Spec ops the line got delisted last year and I just pirated it and never looked back, unfortunately these bigger publishers dont care about older games so dont even give a reminder, so if they dont even care about their own older games, why should I help them with their new games, ill pirate those as well. GOG is the best, you dont even need to pirate those, the games literally dont have any drm, and you can keep the files permanently too.

Michiel198991d ago

the reason why i hate digital is because in 20 years when the servers go down, you can't play single player games anymore because shitty fucking companies want you to login to some arbitrary service to pad the numbers.

When a company like GoG does better than a titan like Sony, you know how terrible the state of gaming is.

Vits90d ago

Technically you are not wrong, only forgot to add Rights Management after the "digital".

CantThinkOfAUsername91d ago

These games had exactly 0 players. If you haven't played any of them by now you really didn't care in the slightest. Suddenly you're dying to play one of these classic turds? Sail to cs.rin.ru.

MrWood90d ago

Your right, if you click on the article vs the clickbait picture showing new and modern games, they are all old games I’ve never even heard of.

Zeke6890d ago

If you never heard of any of these games, are you even a gamer? ;)

To Sony, and so many other companies in this industry, the short-term satisfaction and happiness of their shareholders means so much more to them than their employees, their products, and their customers.

Yi-Long475d ago

Apologies, don't know how the above comment ended up here while it clearly should have gone to other article about the Sony lay-offs. Please delete.
