NowGamer: MAG Review

Worst of all, MAG, perhaps more than any other game ever, needs to make concerted efforts to attract large numbers of people to play it and stick with it. It doesn't.

Technically sound, but Zipper has done so little to make it's overly complex game palatable that NowGamer can't recommend it.

[Gigalol]

hahahahhhhahahaha

FLOP!!!
hahahah

bubububbu t only AAA title teh salesss!!!

hahahahah

[General Jewels]

It was already told to PS3 users this game is nothing but pile of garbage..256 Players so what? But no...they overhype any random game they choose. TRIPLE DDD Unknown flop games.

Straight to the garbage can where other overhyped PS3 games lay.

[mesh1]

hahahahahaha MAJOR FLOP FLOP FLOP FLOP MASSIVE ARSE GAME FLOP FLOP FLOP THIS GAME SHOULD BE CALLED MAG-FLOP-256-HORSEPOO

[Hellsvacancy]

And wot did NowGamer give Halo-ODST?

http://xbox-360.nowgamer.co...

6.3? thats an even bigger flop

[Trebius]

Wonder why there's a review? :P haha. I wont believe a reviewer that hasnt even played the game.

And ODST was given a lower score than this, so I guess by Xbot Fangirl logic that's a flop too...

BUT NOOO ODST IS TEH HALO, HALO CANT FLOP

[Alan Wake]

hehehehheheehe Flop of the year

AAA tutu my A$$

Sony happy with first Flop of history

hehehehehehehehehehheheheehe

[mcnablejr]

of an already terribly succsful game
its not like anyone cares what odst got, it sold well. it just wasnt original.

[trancefreak]

none of you bots read the review this looser complains about trying to figure out how to find good players to play and how to figure out the games objectives.

Firstly Gavin Mackenzie, get some good psn friends to play with if you have any.

2nd Mr Gavin Mackenzie read the f@qin instructions, faq. mission details. In a war its up to you as a good soldier to learn how to survive and win.

3rdly this review has epic fail all over it with complaints of being confused with a lack of understanding of the game and not being able to find players to play. Please!!

Wheres the review that talks about anything related to the game you jack@ass. Ranks, weapons, customizations of player characters and how well balanced the game can be with all the items that come with the game and ranks.

4thly Mr. Gavin Mackenzie i bet you played the game Beta for about a whole 5 min because you cant give or or provide a well written review that details such a massive never done on a console before action packed fps.

And lastly Mr. Gavin Mackenzie, you self pwned your @ss by not reviewing the final product ultimately making your review a load of horse crap.

Perhaps wait for the release of this game and provide a proper review after actually playing and ranking up in this full featured massive title with all its features enabled.

Phony reviews when the game isn't released without people playing just dont cut it. Ill make sure to avoid you and your reviews in the future.

Well on another note just stay away from mag if your a fps noob not willing to learn a tactical squad based shooter.

[ChrisW]

A planned and calculated facade! Simply put, they gave that score as false propaganda. Everyone knows that NowGamer is being fronted money by Nazi MS!

And being now being one of the first to post a review for MAG, they've ensured the success of their plan; to demoralize Mother Sony supporters and sympathizers! This blatant injustice will not go unnoticed!

[LEGENDARY PELON]

Didnt even had to read the review!

6.8/10 says it all!!!

Check metacritic/sales in a few months!

-6.0 in Metacritic
and -100 copies sold!!

Heck this game might even go in the Guinness World Record book for biggest FLOP of all time!!

[DavidMacDougall]

Hellsvacancy just ended this bs so quick LOL

[Dark360]

OMG...DROIDS...What a FLOPPPPPPPPPP...

Xbox 360 = Mass Effect 2 = Real Winner

Ps3 = MAG = Real Loser...HAHAHAHAHAHA

...Better Luck Next Time DROIDS...LOL

[LordMarius]

ouch?

should have done a Socom game, no one asked for MAG
still this review is a bit early so I will wait for more

[WildArmed]

I have the same sentiments exactly.
Zipper should have done the next-gen SOCOM.

But since MAG is here, it'll have to do until their next game comes out ^^
And honestly, Zipper knows how to do TPS games best.. and the should have stuck to their guns.

[-Alpha]

A Socom game would not only be more reliable for sales, but it would also be much more welcomed.

MAG I think will fair in the high 70's overall. Again, not too bad, but nothing too special outside the 256 set up. But I do think that players will be happy with the 256 players-- though I do think it's more of a gimmick, but it seems Zipper has executed it well.

The reviews keep pouring in.

I think the big problem with MAG is that when you look past the surface, the execution demands players to be very communicative. That is something that is VERY hard to co-ordinate, ESPECIALLY with 256 players.

I think that over time the community will develop, but if the problem is the execution then I am more inclined to blame the community than the actual game.

But, MAG is still a decent good game, and I do think that the 6-7 scores are justifiable if the game is being judged on its average graphics/animations, typical gameplay, etc.

So, it seems that the selling point of 256 players is the only thing that can get MAG exceptional scores, but that experience can be ruined by the players.

I am not going to try and make excuses though-- I do think MAG should take more time before getting reviewed, but at the same time, it is a typical shooter.

We will see with time.

[Dev8 ing]

I think MAG is just so they can get their feet wet with the PS3, just like infamous was. You will probably see a new SOCOM next as well as a new sly before you see sequels to these games.

[pixelsword]

This story is reported. If it doesn't get removed, Then N4G fails and I will pass this story along to other people in Sony's Gamer Advisory Panel.

[Baba1906]

really? i had a blast with the beta. i thought it was realy fun. i dont see this beeing a 6.8. i would give it an 8 or something.

[DirtyLary]

They are working on Socom :4. It's already been in development for 2 years. Except to hear about it soon after the MAG hype has died down.

[EvilCackle]

"I will pass this story along to other people in Sony's Gamer Advisory Panel" - this has to be the nerdiest threat I've ever heard.

[Guido]

has reviewed over 40 games and has an average review score given of about 7.0 so to be honest, you cannot expect much more than this from somebody who had higher expectations for a game and then gets stuck playing the game with folks not interested in playing as a team. he gave it a score based on his own experience and as we all know, online experiences will differ from group to group.

[Bigpappy]

They are doing the review from the beta, which I guess is the same as reviewing a game with a preview build. It will be interesting to see what gets added after the beta, but the media has to put an opinion out so readers, who rely on them to help them know what to expect for their hard earned cash, can make an informed decision. I don't rely on review scores, but am aware that some of you do.

[pixelsword]

Like I care what you think.

I'm on Sony's Gamer Advisory Panel; Sony tends to pull advertising from people who pull bull-chip tactics like this.

Ask Kotaku.

[nycredude]

Are you guys fvcking serious? Nowgamer is the site to watch when you want real reviews? Sure we should all just jump off the wagon cause the great site "nowgamer" review a MP only game BEFORE it releases right!?

And what is this?

"Worst of all, MAG, perhaps more than any other game ever, needs to make concerted efforts to attract large numbers of people to play it and stick with it. It doesn't."

How does a game make a concerted effort to attract large nubmers of people to play it? It's only a game. It's up to the gamers to build a community for it, however with people being all negative towards it before it is even release who you going to blame if it doesn't take off? If anything blame yourself! All the developers can do is make the game. Gamers need to support it. As for all you people who aren't interested adn want the game to fail, what the fvck are you doing here? If you are not going to support something new and different, then good luck with your COD every year! I for one have purchased my last COD game ever.

You're either part of the problem or part of the solution.

[captain-obvious]

im in this game RIGHT NOW
and i cant even start playing it
after it shows the intro, it shows this big gray screen with this big MAG logo in the center
i press X to continue
after that it says ((connecting to server)), and then it shows 2 gray blocks with nothing in them

and that's it, you cant do anything from their
now i know this is all because its a MP only and it need to connect to the server and the servers are not up yet
so how did they play it ??

and you cant review a beta
that's a joke

[TROLL EATER]

Epic fail as expected. halo reach will be the best multiplayer experience

[Redlogic]

then due to your comment, you should eat yourself!

on topic: I'd love to know if they reviewed the beta or reviewed the same event Destructiod did (they gave the game an 8 btw)

[Rampant]

Said it at last years e3. This game brings nothing new to the table except for the scale of the battles, and since maps are so big it will feel just like resistance, killzone or halo because not every1 will fight at the same place.

[DatNJDom81]

the 360 fanatics say that PS3 fans go in xbox articles and troll. yet the first person to ever comment on a PS3 game related news, wether its good or bad, is Bungie followed by the 360 troll-a squad. hypocrites.

Nice to see nowgaymer reviewing a game that is totally reliant on its online component. yet its online component is not even ON. well good for stirring up sh!t and hits i guess. great job "game journalists".

[LEGENDARY PELON]

MAG/6.8 = Oh now i see the OUTSTANDING power of the Sony Cell Processor!! hahahhah!

NOT!!

Don't be sad droids, hopefully ya hopes go up when ya play some of ya 2080p Unfarted 2!

[Christopher]

My only issue is in scoring the game based on the ignorance and inability of the people with which you're gaming.

[no_more_trolling]

ouch indeed

play beyond baby

[Dandiego]

I tried the BETA and wasn't expecting anything... play this and tell me this is better than a 7 and you're lying to yourself. To really say if a game is good please play it a couple of hours. Every game is good for the first 20 minutes. This game is going against MW2, Battlefield 2, Halo, KZ. I personnaly don't play spacy games so I'm more MW2 and Battlefield but both those games are superior or will be to MAG.

[reaferfore20]

Shouldn't this say MAG BETA Review?

[Dev8 ing]

Yeah if there is a Review I expect it to cover all aspects of the game. I want to know about the training modes and the different gameplay types. The beta only let you play 2 of the gameplay types. As someone mentioned above this wreaks of fanboy.

[DW]

... it's pointless ... I've never heard of a review for a beta. it would have been better if they said preview ... and didn't attach a score to it. It's not like it's out in another country or something.

[Kornholic]

A word from Sony: http://www.examiner.com/exa...
"Reviews can’t be written until the game is actually out. I mean, you can’t pass pre-release judgment on a game whose major, industry-leading feature (256 players in a single battle) can’t be tested until release day."

So, this is a made up review based probably on the first beta, ladies and gentlemen.

[mikepmcc]

No idiots, all the reputable games journalists were invited to a private play session a month ago where both LAN and International play were tested.

[borgome]

NO surprise here, everyone knew this game was crap, except for the you know who's.

[Double07]

A line from this "review"

"it was an exercise in futility, and in confusion, and in not knowing what was going on or what we were really supposed to be doing."

You're supposed to help your squad take the objective marked on your map and HUD, if thats too much of a struggle to see then your current objective is always displayed in the top left hand corner of the screen. Its not rocket science.

Edit:

Better than:
Heavenly Sword
6.5/10

Worse than:
Pain (Boxed Version)
6.9/10

No, just no.

[Dev8 ing]

Yeah and you have to be pretty stupid to not do the objectives. Each kill/assist gets you double points when based on the objective.

[pimpmaster]

you know what really pissed me off in the beta. i was the only one even making it to the objective area. i had to go all the way around and when i made it and took over the point all the campers there would tear me apart since its like 5 against 1. leading to me getting even more mad cause my team blows and theres no way im gonna win because of them.

[OGharryjoysticks]

The people who are going to play this and have fun with it won't care if it gets a 2/10. Essentially the lower the score it gets might do some good and weed out the casual noob who thinks he's a real gamer because now he won't feel compelled to try it even though it's obviously not his type of game. You know that player who obviously wasn't going to invest time into the game to become good and dare I say "win the war" since they have no concept overall of what it takes to win or what they are fighting for.

[LordMarius]

at the bots or bot above, no one can read your comments so stop wasting your breath

[N4PS3G]

If no one can read their comments then how do you know they're bots and why do they have agrees and disagrees? :S Weird

[LordMarius]

i can tell they are bots because they only have one-bubble

[N4PS3G]

ummmm i see, ok :)

[ZombieRollz]

N4PS3G - stick to the 360, it's where stupid lives.

@moron below:

Those two are clearly bots as from their retarded amounts of comments they have made in the past. Once you see one tard comment, you've seen them all. Maybe that's why they all unanimously have a single bubble.

And since you can't seem to acknowledge what I am talking about, that makes you pretty dense yourself. So like I said, stick to the 360.

Finally, you can set your comment settings to show ALL comments. Maybe that's one some others did like myself because it's so damn funny when these kiddies poop their baby diapers.

[N4PS3G]

ok.. i'll stick there :)

Congrats on making no sense :)

[arsenal55]

lmaooooo..go read the score as to why we arent seeing reviews of mag.. then look at this review... SO MUCH FAIL.

first off.. who is now gamer?

second.. they dont even have this game yet and reviewed the beta

[Droid Smasha]

sony cant even get there own exclusives right hahahaha

[peeps]

he kinds hits the nail on the head tho...

it seems the big complaint is that they had a bad experience i.e. didn't have a good squad, good squad leader and so on.

i've had games like this too where it truly is frustrating, but at the same time i've had amazing games where a team has worked together.

i think the point here is that the longer the game is out, the better the games will get. right now they've just played the beta (which is why it seems odd to review) where ppl are simply jumping online to give the game a go.

in a few months time MAG will be left with the decent players who wanna work together and thats when the game will really shine imo, hence why i'm surprised any sites are putting up reviews at this time, not least because they're reviewing the beta/short sessions they would have had where they were invited to play the game.

[Double07]

A logical post. + Bubbles

This kinda reminds me of Fat Princess somewhat, when you had 32 real players and had a great team who were all working together it was one hell of a fun game to play.

Whereas if you had a bad team it was infuriating and you didn't stand much of a chance of rescuing the princess.

And its true that it'll only get better, I mean at the start no one will have resusitation (sp?) kits whereas in a few weeks/ months a ton of people will have them which means no waiting to respawn and less frustration.

[OGharryjoysticks]

I'm not...they're cashing in on site hits. There's 300,000+ pre-orders alone. That's a lot of traffic to sell the website and try to increase its reader fanbase.

[Christopher]

Good point, but on the other hand... can't the exact same thing happen in other FPS multiplayer games? My small stint in CoDMW taught me that people were pricks in the multiplayer and really had no goals at all. Is that a fair assumption of the game or the people who play the game?

My experience with MMOs has taught me that people, in general, will look for ways to get attention no matter how much structure there is. So, developing a structure that is limiting just to attempt to prevent people from such acts only serves to sour the water for those who are looking for a slightly structured but otherwise seemingly open and fun game.

[-Alpha]

I think the thing with MW2 is that the game is completely revolved around YOU. I mean, the experience is fun because you are so overpowered and so significant to a game.

In something like MAG, you are part of body of players, and if that body doesn't function, it leads to problems.

And herein will lie the problem with MAG: it will take a while after the vast reviews are out that the community will begin to settle in.

Considering that this is only a MP game, MAG may end up being criticized for the young community.

BUT, at the same time, I do think there are fair objective criticisms to be made in terms of something like graphics, which is easily the weakest aspect, as well as other things. But, overall it seems MAG is a standard shooter with its main premise being under the mercy of the community.

I just hope the game can develop a community that knows how to play the game. Zipper shouldn't be surprised. Their game was very overzealous and though it seems to work in execution, it has trouble conveying itself upon reviewers.

And ultimately, that's what reviews are for: to determine if a game is worthy to purchase. If the review is constantly having bad experiences then people will stay away from it.

I think the problem with reviewing MAG is going to be determining objective and subjective factors and how they both weigh towards the score.

[kneon]

I've been wondering whether the lack of advertising for the game is deliberate because of the nature of the game. Imagine if they did a major hypefest on this game and sold 1000k+ the first week. You would have all kinds of people piling in and not knowing what they are doing. It would not be very enjoyable for a lot of people and they might very well give up.

Now instead of doing that, keep the launch relatively low key. Only those that really want to play this game are going to even know about it (at least 230k pre-order apparently). So this group will be a bit more knowledgable than the average joe-gamer and will also be willing to give the community time to mature. Also we need time for people to rank up so that there is a decent command structure. After a few weeks people will either get how to play the game or will leave. But those that are left are hopefully playing as it was meant to be played. At this point you can let loose the marketing hype-mobile and get the general gamer community on board. That way when they join in, the game is less likely to be overrun by a bunch of clueless players trying to figure out what is going on.

[Sarcasm]

That's the thing about online only games, having the right people to play with will heavily influence how fun the game is. There are still people playing Socom Confrontation... Scary... I know... But that goes to show that with the right people you play with, a sh&tty game like Confrontation can be fun.

[jakethemuss]

based on beta.

[jimmins]

Sony UK put on a review event last week, the review is based on that

[callahan09]

@ Jimmins,

Yeah, and did you read what GamesRadar had to say about that event? They were given more time to eat than actually play the game. They only got to play 1 match of the 256-player mode, and 2 or 3 other matches all-together. Half of their time was spent trying to figure out how to play the game. They didn't even get a chance to experience 1% of what the game has to offer. Nobody got to level up and customize their character and their load-out, nobody got to really get into a groove with the game and how to play it, they didn't get to see most of the maps or play most of the game modes.

Nobody that has merely experienced the game in that "review event" format can consider themselves knowledgeable enough about the experience of owning the game and getting to play it as somebody who spent their 60 bucks on it and puts the time into playing around with it, getting into it, experiencing all that it has to offer. They don't have a clue what this game is like from a measly experience like that, and they shouldn't be writing reviews based on that kind of interaction with the game.

[jimmins]

You think journalists want to review a game under those conditions? Probably not, but that's the way it was handled by Sony. A review still needs to be written to a deadline, and this is the upshot.

[callahan09]

What's your point? Doesn't change the fact that these reviews aren't based on entirely solid ground. It's still based on limited exposure to the actual game and probably based on the beta more than anything else. Also, deadlines aren't set by Sony. They're set by the publisher of the review itself. They don't HAVE to have a review out today. If they don't like the conditions and feel that they have an ethical responsibility to get more exposure to the game before publishing a review, they have every right to take that time... and they should.

[mickross123]

the game isnt even out yet, no one can give a review until the game is out sony even said so. This review is uncredible, all reviews are until 2-3 days after its out

[ZombieRollz]

Confirmed: NowGamer reviews betas of video games. This includes every single Xbox 360 "exclusive" that hit the market.

Bioshock, Ninja Gaiden 1/2, etc. say hi bots.

[BubbleSystemSuck]

Lol stupid "Review"... how can you review a Online ONLY Based game, without servers?

This is an article, full of supsitions

[StanRaimondi]

i agree how can you review a online only game when its not out yet and better yet how can you judge it based on the fact that you was in a bad squad h@ll who hasnt played an online shooter and ended up in a squad that just sucked its like that in warhawk killzone you name the game and i promise you will find it but that doesnt make them bad games it just makes the experience for that moment bad

[Edward-Kraken]

NowGamer Review Scores:
MAG - 6.8
http://ps3.nowgamer.com/rev...
Halo ODST - 6.3
http://xbox-360.nowgamer.co...
LMFAO!!!

[Double07]

Rofl xD

+ Bubbles

[Baba1906]

looks like they hate shooters lol no wonder.

[36T]

LOL! i actually find it funny that a full game (MAG) get's around the same score for an "expansion". It just goes to show how sh1t Heavy "The Sims" Rain is and how stupid you PS fanboys are. Enjoy shaving while looking like a fool waving your arms around. lol.

"Mommy! When will i get the chance to grow beard and shave? When you hit puberity son. In a few years from now. Oh and i don't want you looking at that guys ass and turning into your gay dad"

[taylork37]

The difference is, everyone knows ODST is not that good. What are you going to say about MAG now?

[mickross123]

A BETA scored better than a halo game

[DigitalHorror81]

That ought to give the bots something to cry about.

[belal]

we cant only get good games you know :), mag wil be 7+ on meta just wait and see.

[Gimped Hardware]

But alas - it appears that this hyped game is going to flop and flounder in the sea of mediocrity.

Shame because im sure my outdated hardware could handle a game like this.........obviously bad game + gimped hardware = epic fail.

Ohhhhh well - theres always my next exclusive...............

[Mista T]

this game wasn't really hyped, I've yet to see a MAG commercial on tv, but I've seen 10 million mass effect 2 commercials on tv, though the difference is ME2 deserves hype

[DlocDaBudSmoka]

i swear just yesterday i read on here, that MAG reviews would be late because of the servers not turned on until launch day. All the comments talked about early reviews on monday and tuesday. guess the commenters were right. It doesn't surprise me that this review got a 6.8/10,only bc sony 1st party games get raked over the coals.

[Dylantalon1]

people need to realise that having a brain and using it wisely can make a world of difference in their lives. i love video games because it gives me different experiences i cant get in the real world and also help me relax and have fun. i want the best game possible with little to no problems while im playing my games and because of being a dude of quality , and a fps fan, i love M.A.G . the flipping ambition of M.A.G alone deserves high score but the biggest thing of all is that M.A.G does what it was intended and does it well. the game supports 256 people on a single map with 0 lag along with a lot of other features like upgradable weapons , character customisation, and a deep ranking or badge system . there are a lot of other games out now that suffers from a lot of glitches and lag issues which are deal breakers but they get hyped ridiculously for being a good game . why do people want to suppress big ambitions and talent in the video game industry? not every game is for everyone , to each his own but im not a sheep, im buying M.A.G first day. wake up people , if youre a fps fan, M.A.G is for you. M.A.G should look like super mario world on super nintendo ,but it doesnt, it looks amazing for a game that support 256 people . M.A.G looks better than a lot of fps or games that were released recently , i dont want to name names because fanboys might get upset. M.A.G is awesome

[StanRaimondi]

dude the truth could not have been put more plain than what you just said

[militant07]

and talon stand for talented...

[Rt0027]

Thank you, bubbles+ for you,
The game is exactly what I'd imagine a war to be like, more squad base objective than MW2. I can see why people dislike games like this because they only play for themselves and can't play as a team, therefore you get no where and ends in a bad experience for you. For those who can play as a team, I think this is the perfect game.

Summary, MAG is fun for those who:
1) Don't camp
2) Can play as a team

[8thnightvolley]

the shear size of 256 players is sick.. with NO LAG.. that is some impressive stuff it makes one wonder y games with huge expectations (MW2 or gears2) adopt something from here...coz i am sure as a MP hardcore fan overlooking things like graphics, with a gd few friends or may i say ALOT of friends one would hav fun .. wit this game.. well.. i will wait to see how the game plays would with more ppl buying it b4 i dive i have Mass Effect2 so after i am done with that then i will dive in ..

psn= SENSEI-CHRONIC, xbl= SENSEI CHRONIC

[Redlogic]

i'll have this game in a week or two.

[Lex Luthor]

I knew this game would be crap.

[DEATHSTROKE-cro-]

LOL

those idiots gave Heavenly Sword 6.5/10
:facepalm:

[Two-Face]

Xbox 360 has a AAA title in January. Mass Effect 2. and a superior multiplatform. Bayonetta.

PS3 has a average FPS. YAY!!

Great way to start off the year Sony.

Atleast it better than nothing, right?

[Redlogic]

leave troll

[Dance]

Beta was a major letdown so no surprise there

[spunnups]

Everyone forgets this is made by Zipper, the creaters of Socom, one of the most addicting online multiplayer games ever. When I see developers like Zipper, SCEA, Insomniac, GG, Bethesda, Bioware...etc...are behind the creation of a game, I know I can buy the game without thinking twice. These guys have proven that they know what they are doing.

[MajestieBeast]

I think it is a insult to Sony and Zipper interactive to review a beta that doesnt have everything in it and could still be changed and pass it up as a review for the full game. I wonder what reviewers will do next review a game in alpha phase and call it a review. I hope Sony takes actions against this.

[Dev8 ing]

Yeah giving a review of the graphics/sound when it is obvious (i.e. you read the intro on the beta) that the betas graphics/sound would not be representative of the final release. Which is obvious. The download was under 2 Gb that aren't going to include the high res textures and the uncompressed sound with a size that small. Also giving a review on only part of the game is also full of fail.

[Skyreno]

i watch "interveiw They made changes alot CHANGES FOR FULL GAME"!! alright fpr example reloading >>you can NOW knife someone while reloading they said it .. made big changes for game so why...... they review game while servers arn't up yet dumb

[sack_boi]

Holy sh!t MEGATON!

[StarScream4Ever]

What did they review the beta version? Either it is a false review or someone decided to sneak through and post an average score already. I know the game is not going to score high marks but people wait until the game and servers are out.

[TheDeadMetalhead]

Um...The servers aren't up yet? LOL

[Hidden Star]

Well it was obvious from the onset that this game wouldn't be for every FPS fan. I personally didn't enjoy the game well the beta. Just my opinion, the game isn't up to scratch.

[PLAYSTATIONGENRATION]

If u look at the vastness of this game....in 3 - 6 months it will be a new game..You played warhawk from when it fist launch ...Also this is Zipper so anything below an 8 is insulting and this review should be akin with a grain of salt

[BX81]

Why wouldn't the servers be up? The game comes out at midnight.

[MajestieBeast]

Let me just review modnation racers. Only 4 campaign maps,no coop,no single player campaign,only 10% of the customizables unlocked,long load times and lots of glitches. Its called a beta for a reason because it isnt finished yet.

[spunnups]

I don't understand why people want this game to fail. It's a huge step in online warfare and in the right direction I might add. I think it's amazing how this game suffers much less lag than MW2 and other popular online games and has 200+ more players involved. Kudos to Zipper, I will definitely be supporting this game.

I always try to support Sony 1st Party titles first and foremost, they are the most innovative and quality group of developers out there. Zipper, Insomniac (2nd party, but has always remained loyal), SCEA, SCEE, SCEJ, Guerilla, Polyphony, Naughty Dog, Media Molecule, Sucker Punch, Team ICO, Lightbox. These guys show time in and time out that they are the best of the best and refuse to push out low quality titles.

[agent027]

It's on the PS3. If it was on the 360, 360 fanboys would have been crying over the score.

[Obama]

Someone tell me how it is possible for him to play with 255 other players in the REAL game, not the BETA?

[36T]

Just like i expected after seeing that 8 min video. FLLLLLLLLLLLLIIZZZOP!!! lmao. How about that PS diehards? "buuuu buuu buuu.. you can't get a crap game like this on anything but the PS3!" thank god for that!!

@ FiftyFourPointTwo

Kindly read #6.3 post and see how you owned yourself. Hahahaha!!!!!!
On top of it.. i've only played the first Halo and i'm not a Halo fan so how am i owning myself again?? lol Two flizzzzzops. MAG & HR. Your exclusives are making me jealous! ;)

[FiftyFourPointTwo]

@36T

Kindly read #6 post and see how you owned yourself. Hahahaha!!!!!!

[Narutone66]

said above, a beta game is better than a Halo game.

[TKCMuzzer]

The lower scores the better, lets keep all the cod kids away from it. The review is a prime example of amateur reviews by limelight searchers.

[El Nino]

LMAO

the servers havent even been put up, and there reviewing a beta, i played the beta back in september time, couldnt really get into it

but this article is an epic fail

[Karooo]

to take risk like sony, fcking halo whores.

[DelbertGrady]

When I read your comment it made me think of this guy.

[mcnablejr]

lolll @ kartik

[bjornbear]

how do you review a massive online action game that requires squads and time online to go up in ranks, when the servers for such aren't even up yet? =/

Unless this is based on the Beta, which I doubt it is, sinc e a Beta "is not representative of the final product"

Like everyone else, I'll wait for the REAL reviews before I judge.

[dkgshiz]

WOW! I'm glad I dont take NowGamer seriously. Well, I never even heard of nowgamer.

[HDgamer]

Sony explains the lack of MAG reviews

http://www.examiner.com/exa...

Reviews can’t be written until the game is actually out. I mean, you can’t pass pre-release judgment on a game whose major, industry-leading feature (256 players in a single battle) can’t be tested until release day.

[Halo3 MLG Pro]

And the excuses continue...

[HDgamer]

It's excuses when they said it a day before these articles appeared? I see why you tried to play your 360 knowing you just have a box with a big ole x on it.

[Ashby_JC]

Its NOT an excuse. Its a valid reason. If you read what they guy wrote...its NOT even a review. More like a preview.

He is mostly stating his opinion on time with the game and what he thinks.

I wouldnt trust any review to at least 2 weeks after the game releases.

I actually agreed with what he had to say...except for naming his PREVIEW a REVIEW!!!

[Sikct9a]

Cant wait for this game. After MW2 left me with a bad taste in my mouth, i'm really looking foward to a solid shooter.

[Lehman Brothers]

LOL I TOLD YA this game will score 7.. FLOP of the century!!

[peeps]

hey i can be a fanboy too:

flop of the century (and this game had a long enough dev time lol):

http://www.metacritic.com/g...

[Lehman Brothers]

This game comes out tomorrow.. look at the desperate fanboys calling the reviews BETAs, lool.

[peeps]

looking at the fanboys jumping on reviews of a game they never intended to buy...

if you read gamereactors comments on the matter, they say there was a day where they could go play the game for review purposes but felt a review day wasn't enough to fully get the game experience

and with only 3 bubbles i'm surprised at the double posts...

[saint_john_paul_ii]

wow...they reviewed the game while the servers were down.

[Raoh]

It's an online only game.

It comes out tomorrow with a few early copies today.

Are the servers on? if so probably just turned on.

just got back from the mag.com community forums, some games will be locked until leaders are ranked up...

so what did nowgamer actually review? should they change their name to futuregamer since they obviously were playing in the future and not the present?

oh and one of their comments was that they had a high kill ratio rewarding them with the highest exp earned.. LMFAO

actually high kill ration gets you the lowest score earned if your only going for kills and not trying to accomplish goals

another failed review

[ZombieStalker]

You are so correct!!! It is obviously they never played the game. The game requires a fair amount of playing (different skills, game types, scoring, etc.) to truely make an informed decision on the game.

[THE MAX SPEED 21]

FLOP!

[mickross123]

Does this mean that halo 3 odst was a flop?

[tiamat5]

So now we are judging games on beta reviews now? Oh well, what else can I expect from the same people who say that Natal will win over the Arc 10 months in advance. I suppose I should start on my reviews of the first Halo game for the Xbox 720 and Uncharted 5 on the PS4.Idiots.

[taylork37]

what happened to AAA?

[OrganicMachine]

http://www.examiner.com/exa...

this

[ZombieStalker]

Reviewing a game before the server and latest patch are available is a sure sign the reviewer never played the final version. Also comments about communicating with 256 players. You communicate in smaller squads.....

Reviews these days stink...either the game doesn't do things better than game XXXXX or it "tries to accomplish lots and suceeds to do little". Or the game focus on a francise and can do no wrong! That sums up most reviews!

I have played games that have been in the 80s and 90s that stink. I have also played games that are in the 40s, 50s and 60s and I have really enjoyed them. Either buy the game release day and decide if you will like/dislike the game, or wait for a used copy (or rent). Either way, you (the gamer) will decide how good the game is.

Isn't gaming supposed to be fun???

[Pika-pie]

I wasnt getting this anyway, my internet connection is not great and Im one of the people who can never be bothered with a mic online. I didnt even bother with the beta. The only online I play is a free for all deathmatch, thats what pushes my buttons.

I half exepected a solid decent score. It was never going to be a AAA title, online only games generally are not.

MAG will end up with a hardcore following and they will love the game to death. Just not for me.

I bet IGN come out with a flat 8 or 7.9

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

I can't wait to play this game.

The BETA was perfect.

So excited!

Reviews for online-only games haven't been great...no matter how good the game is.

Warhawk anyone?

[JD_Shadow]

How can they have a review when the embargo doesn't lift until tomorrow?

Yeah, something DOES seem off here, and perhaps Sony needs to look at this as a possible embargo breach. I normally don't like the whole issue of embargos and NDA's when they are used to hide things like the details of the GTA4 MS DLC deal, but here, I have to make an exception because of what the game is: an MP-only game in which the servers don't go up until tomorrow officially. How is reviewing a beta the same as the full game, anyway?

[-MoOkS-]

once again, another flop that was unjustifiably built up based on stupid reasons, 256 people does not make a game good. idiots

[DelbertGrady]

Tell that to the droids. They don't know what the word "gameplay" means.

[englandsbest316]

aka Mediocre. Average. Garbage.

PS3 now has the top two worse FPS flops this gen.

M.A.G. & Haze.

[Karooo]

all 360 games except gears 1 are flop :(

[redsquad]

Say hello to two little friends:

http://www.metacritic.com/g...

http://www.metacritic.com/g...

Odd how the shuffling 360 zombies flock to the 'review' with the lowest score while ignoring the other two with '8'. I guess people with half a brain only see half the truth (the half that suits their blinkered little world).

[peeps]

shhh it's only a flop if it's on ps3!

equally tho, i see the ps3 fanboys (the hardcore ones atleast) saying that the site giving it 6.8 isn't credible, but commenting on the site giving it 8 with things like "yeh thats a reasonable score, a solid 8"

it's like wtf (and i realise i'll prob get hate from fanboys of both sides, but what can i say, i just enjoy gaming)

[DigitalHorror81]

Just like ODST and TOO HUMAN.

[Feckles]

Hi all,
Just wanted to reassure you that the review is genuine and was done, not from beta code as some have suggested here, but at a review day in London. This event was set up by Sony for the purposes of review and we, along with many members of the UK gaming press, played with/against the full 256 players.

It's true that the public servers aren't up yet, this is why Sony arranged the event. I hope this clears things up.

Regards,
Nick Jones,
NowGamer editor in chief

[CoxMulder]

I think you're really in trouble when a site like GamesRadar has a higher reviewing-standard than you have...

GamesRadar:
"We went to the same review event as everyone else and really wanted to deliver a verdict on MAG like the other magazines/websites will. But the truth is, we feel said review event didn’t give an accurate representation of what MAG is actually like – or what type of experience you’d have in this online-only FPS."

[JD_Shadow]

This doesn't really excuse anything, though. If the public servers are not up, then you shouldn't really be reviewing the game without that disclaimer (which, in your credit, you did in a way, though it's sort of hidden, and you didn't explain this in your review). Also, keep in mind that in a MP game like this, there are bound to be hiccups because of the newness of the servers and the game itself. As they say in football, you can't really know if a designed play will work unless you use it in an actual game against an opponent that is trying to beat you. Here, real world events (grievers, those that try to find glitches, reviewers like you that are trying to find if there's anything bad to exploit). Why no one really disclaims in the gaming world is beyond me.

[Ashby_JC]

Ok so you played the full version of the game!!

How much did you rank up?

How is the sound on your surround system?

What faction did you play as?

What kind of weapons are in the game?

What are the limits I can attach things to my weapons?

Is the game playable if a limited amount of ppl outside of the leaders have mics?

etc etc etc

See when I read a review I expect to get answers about the game and what I can EXPECT when I get my hands on it.

This WAS NOT a review ..it was a preview of what the writer thinks will happen with MAG as a game.

I agree with what the article had to say about MAG. But to put it on your SITE as a review and score it and everything after playing it an event is very poor.

I havent read any reviews on your site in the past and I dont think I will in the future.

How about you all WAIT 2 weeks and come back after REALLY playing the game with the community. ANd if you come away with the same score...cool. You didnt like it. But to score a game after limited play is a FAIL!

[Rhezin]

because I know for a fact you can't back up your words, because you xbox owners are the BIGGEST PU$$IES. hahahahahhahaha

[BoneIdle]

From these websites to publish reviews of a game they haven't played properly. It means no one can take any other reviews they write seriously. I know i wont read anything they publish again.

The Servers wont come online until 7am UK time on Tuesday morning i wont read anything that comes out before 7pm tomorrow.

[ironmonkey]

the bad thing is that people are persuaded so easily from just a guy they dont even know or even existed but just writes reviews and listen to it. everyone on n4g pretty much says their views. someone are childish and some got goog points to it but people who have played the beta and enjoyed it and also pre ordered it will also enjoy the full game. BE YOUR OWN REVIWER!
these people didnt go to university to learn how to review a game

[The_Zeitgeist]

You can tell by the advertising (none) that this game is doomed to mediocrity. If Sony actually believed in it they would have put some more into advertising the game just like they did with Killzone 2 and Uncharted 2.

[kenpachi]

that some 360 fangirl damage control

[jaosobno]

...you are an idiot. Doing a review of a beta version is what idiots like you do. Now, I don't care if you've given the game a fairly low score, but it would be nice if you've played the full version at least.

That is why my dear Gavin, from now on you will be known in the entire universe as Mr. Douche.

[Bodyboarder_VGamer]

This game was destined to be a flop. After I played the beta for 10 minutes I just knew that this game was pure fail.

[jaosobno]

Game is fail, I agree (also played the beta), but I'd still review a full game instead of beta.

[Halo3 MLG Pro]

Not surprised. Like I said before at one point I was excited about this game. After all, I am a FPS fan but after trying out the beta the game just plain sucked. Bland graphics and boring gameplay.

[OmarJA-N4G]

Funny cause the graphics are miles better than Halo 3... :)

BTW i thought you said you don't own a PS3? :)

[Halo3 MLG Pro]

I never said I own a ps3. My roomate owns a ps3. And no the graphics are not better than Halo 3. MAG's graphics almost look like a ps2 game.

[steck67]

So either you are blind physically, or your just blind because of your fanboy glasses. MAG, although does not have the level of graphics of Killzone 2 or Gears, it still looks good, especially for it supporting 256 players. Saying that it looks like a PS2 game further proves your fanboyism thus there is no credibility from you. Welcome to my ignore list.

[milf_sex]

They gave ODST a 6.3, which is worse than MAG...lol

[mickross123]

This review is totally uncredible,
They didnt even talk about the single player which I heard was really amazing. tsk tsk tsk

[RBdrift]

how can he review?Are the servers even up yet?

[Armyntt]

I agree that you dont review a game based off a beta but if this is a true review score does that mean when the Sony fanboys start their lists of upcoming releases will MAG be one of the ones listed? Every 360/PS3 is going to rule 2010 thread the SDF lists MAG as one of their must haves.

[Danusaf]

I hate it when people place a review before they have any clue how the game is!! You cant review the game based off the beta and the servers havn't even opened up yet for them to place a review.

You should at least wait till the servers are full and people are playing the full battle.

Bottom line.. These guys are complete idiots!

[Lehman Brothers]

Look at the tards mentioning TOO HUMAN NOW, HAHAHA

The difference is, that 360 fanboys NEVER hype their games as much as the DROIDSFUKS do.. thats the reason.

DROIDS = MAG (MASSIVE ARROGANT GARBAGE)

[Dev8 ing]

Really here's a link where fanboys go off about Too Human, Gears 2 and Fable 2 making the xbox the best system of the year. They also say that Too human is GOTY. In the same year PS3 had LBP, MGS4, Resistance 2 and VC, just for reference.

http://www.n4g.com/xbox360/...

[GiantEnemyCrab]

Dev: I see one post saying GOTY and a few others saying they liked it after playing the demo.

Sorry, after playing the MAG beta the game just sucks(imo) and beta or not isn't going to fix this game by tomorrow.

But many will enjoy it, like Too Human, and the world will keep on spinning and fanboys will keep on flaming.

[peeps]

ur getting confused. ppl hype a game because THEY ARE LOOKING FRWD TO IT. i see a lot of ps3 gamers telling their friends about MAG etc cus they themselves are looking frwd to playing it.

just because you don't like a game and someone else does doesn't make it a 'flop'.

define flop anyway?

[travelguy2k]

how poorly everyone was playing, not on the actual game. I'm not really sure how much experience everyone that was playing had. It only show that this game should get better as all us players learn how to work as a team to complete the objectives.

I'll admit for the first couple hours i played the beta, i didn't really know what i was supposed to do either. When i did figure it out, it was a much more enjoyable experience.

So, given the time necessary, i think this will be an amazing experience. If the game was to release here tomorrow, i would get it tomorrow, but as it is, i will get it whenever it hit the shelves here in Mexico.

[Shortstop]

Normally I don't like buying games that get bad reviews, but I played the beta and enjoyed it. My buds and I are getting this game, and I don't think any review score would change that.

Except maybe if it was a 3 or something.

[TheObserver]

This is stupid, how can they review a online game when the lobby server isn't even running yet.

Shows how much credibility they have, ZERO.

[danielle007]

It seems a shame that some people are knocking it without giving it a real chance.. If it is well executed, it could be splendid.

[emkize]

This website is plagued with stupid idiots.

Wait until there's an actual review out from people who have played retail. NowGamer? Who the hell is NowGamer? The only people this website draws in are the mass crowds of N4G dumb-asses.

[Kluv]

I would discard this review.

[horndog]

I think they gave it to much.

[Michael-Jackson]

Something is wrong here Mag (Beta I assume) scored higher than ODST (full priced expansion). Are you crying? because it scored higher than ODST :(? According to NowGamer.

[mcnablejr]

which got 10's =D

[DigitalHorror81]

You still have bubbles.

[SPACEBALL 1]

cant wait to see the ps3 fanboys crying over the next week when more low scored MAG reviews are in....

i was in the beta from the qore phase and MAG sucks. this is exactly what it should be rated. all the fools who think that the game will be drastically different and better than the beta are lying to yourselves.

get over it... MAG is not a good game

[emkize]

Yet another case of the blind leading the blind.

[Ashby_JC]

GOOD article....BAD title....this is NOT A REVIEW....it is a PREVIEW!!

I agree with what he had to say but to call this a review is just WRONG!

[slaymanio]

LOL all xbox360 fanboys says this game is bad because Nowgame gaved it 6.8/10 but When Halo3 odst camed out and Now gamer gaved it 6.3/10 every single xbox 360 fan boy say that Now gamer is not a good source for reviews but when a ps3 game is badly reviewed all xbox 360 fan boy says that Now gamer is the best review source ever. lol

[DigitalHorror81]

Funny how that works.

[slaymanio]

MAG is one of the biggest exclusive games on the Playstation 3 in 2010. Despite the released date quickly approaching, the ambitious first-person shooter hasn’t been reviewed by the media yet. Jeff Rubenstein, the Social Media Manager of SCEA, explain why this is the case in the comments section of the Playstation.Blog:
Reviews can’t be written until the game is actually out. I mean, you can’t pass pre-release judgment on a game whose major, industry-leading feature (256 players in a single battle) can’t be tested until release day.
MAG will be released in North America on January 26th.

So this review is a lie.

[slaymanio]

We are starting to see MAG (Massive Action Game) reviews surface around the web. It may not seem so strange considering the game is due out for release tomorrow (26th of January) in the U.S.A and three days later in Europe, but the truth is that all of this so-called “reviews” cannot be based on anything other than the BETA since the officials servers don´t go live until the eve of the release day.

The Social Media Manager of SCEA, Jeff Rubenstein, even made a public announcement explaining why there will be no reviews on MAG´s launch day.

“Reviews can’t be written until the game is actually out. I mean, you can’t pass pre-release judgment on a game whose major, industry-leading feature (256 players in a single battle) can’t be tested until release day.”

Even if these bloggers had the chance to play the game for an entire week do you still think that their review would be fair? Hardly. MAG is strictly an online game — reviewing MAG after only a week of testing it on a private server would basically be the same as reviewing World of Warcraft after completing a tutorial quest.

Still, it seems as though the game, even it´s BETA stage, has impressed these bloggers — with two sites giving it an 8/10 (which by no means is a bad score) it might just be enough of a review to convince people buy it. 8 out of 10, no matter how you look at it, and considering that this is an online only game, ought to be purchase worthy game for most.

If you have the patience for it I would definitely recommend waiting at least two weeks before reading anything that has the words MAG and REVIEW in it´s title — or you can just head down to your local game shop first thing tomorrow, pick up a copy, and try it out for yourself. My bet is that if you enjoyed the BETA you will love the full product. Those of you who are still skeptical can afford to wait the two extra weeks or just rent it out.

[agent027]

360 fanboys are a bunch of f*cking cowards. Rushing to multiple accounts, agree with each other, slam disagrees on worthwhile comments.

It's funny how a beta scored better than a full game. Dumbass idiots.

[Heartbroken-Menace]

amazing fanboys.

[steck67]

So, I'm assuming they were able to play a full 128vs128 game? Or did these people just based their review on the beta. (serious question, I didn't read the review, I just looked at the score, and I would have said the same thing if they would have given it a 10).

[dredgewalker]

....

[Ashriel]

I would just wait for a more credible site. NowGamer just f*cking sucks specially after that lame Halo3:ODST review.

[tunaks1]

i knew this wouldn't be a great game, but 6.8 isnt too bad chances are if were going to play it in the first place this wont change your mind

[milf_sex]

They gave ODST a 6.3, so MAG is better I guess...

And I'm pretty sure they aren't counted for Metacritic.

[milf_sex]

HAHA !

ODST = BIGGER FAIL ! 6.3

Nowgamer sucks anyway !

XBOT360 can only handle 16 players at once..MAG = 256 players FTW !

Now you poor bastards should get a job and stop asking your mommies for money to buy games..so you can finally afford a PS3 and sell your 360(worthless Piece of Horse crap)

FAILBOX360 - It only does crappy over-rated shooters !

[Mikeyy]

You said yourself you have not even played mag, so what on earth gives you the right to come here and say mag fails? you fail.

Most people that played the beta can't wait to play more.

[Mikeyy]

So the reviewer knocked the game, because his team sucked, He was probally playing as Raven, thats why, SVER knows teamwork, Let this be a lesson to future reviewers, SVER or go home.

[gamer0123456]

good thing i went with ME2 instead of mag. ill get mag when its 20$ maybe.....they should of just made a good socom game....o well

playing me2, monster hunter coming to 360......this night cant get any better

[mega BIG time]

this game seems like it might be temporarily fun. But it's true it will fail to keep my interests if there aren't packed servers

[mega BIG time]

what would be great is if a game put you through a series of training and qualifying stages on directions and the importance of rank before sending you out into the online battle. A game like this would really be fun if everyone followed their class and worked together... maybe in china.

[alexmurur]

Well it was just an online game so.. anyway, zipper has an innovation.. you guys should be happy that they have given a vision of what can be done in a ps3(or 360).. now imagine any other game with singleplayer and a huge multiplayer like this on blu ray.. um hum.. killzone 3?? possibilities..

[BrianC6234]

What a crappy review. Better to not review the game than write a review that bad. I'm not buying MAG because I really don't care much about online gaming but if I did MAG looks like a great game. He should at least wait until the real game is out and play real games. And see what it's like.

[psycho360]

Heavy rain will have company in the flop dept /jk

[MonopolyRSV]

It's not easy finding a good team to play with who all communicate well on Killzone 2 either, and it is only 32 players max. I'm satisfied with KZ2's interface and squad system though, I know its the other players that suck when I get in a game and nothing is going right or no one is on their mic at all.

If the author is correct about those types of interface features he mentioned that are lacking in MAG, that's a pretty big oversight it would seem.

[AliTheBrit19]

b b b but it isnt a proper review yet :(!!!

Awwww stop crying fanboys

Ok, we'll wait a week or so to see a flood of 7's

While Mass Effect 2, exclusive to Microsoft platforms, gets 10's and 9+'s :)

Must sting.

PS3 had its year, it was 2009, that year has passed.

[peeps]

hmmm so your discounting 2010 after 26 days haha

i want a crystal ball too

[ATi_Elite]

This review is bullcrap because it was written and posted before the release of the game.

The game doesn't come out till January 26 2010

regardless it won't score high because these Neanderthal game reviewers are all bought and paid for by Microsoft.

I say that because Mass effect 2 360 got a higher rating than Mass effect 2 PC which the we all know the PC version is the superior product. Graphics for one, No disc swapping, far better controls.

[Meryl]

right so he marks it down because people do not understand how to play the game, please don't make me laugh. I am a girl and I understood what I was doing just fine.
here is my feedback based on the beta:
Graphics: 8/10 (above average graphics, very good for 256 player count)
Sound: 8/10 (not the best i have heard but it is not as bad as he says)
Game play: 8/10 (gameplay is solid, there is hardly anything wrong with it apart from lack of explanation of how to do things, PLUS IT DOES 256 PLAYERS!!)
Longevity: 9/10 (come on I know for one I am not going to get tired of having to think for once in a FPS, tactical shooter FTW)
so that's an average of 8/10, now that is what you call a proper review NowGamer, take notes please

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

MAG = MAF MAssive Flop

[Meryl]

your a massive flop, enjoying your stay here on n4g so far jason 3fixme lol

[agent027]

And you call yourself a gamer?

TROLL.

[Rowsdower]

the servers arent up
the servers arent up

give it a rest

played the beta

the game is mediocre and will attract a small audience

this is not a conspiracy

save your defensiveness for a game that deserves it

[misterssippi]

Sony just can't get right.

[stuntman_mike]

theirs nothing wrong with the game technically just not many people use the mic's to communicate so it did end up most people going off doing their own thing.

also you cant play this game like COD you need to communicate with other players to organize attacks. its much more satisfying like that.

[Time_Is_On_My_Side]

..how can anyone review an online only game before the servers are up and running?

This doesn't happen with any other company or developer unless Sony is behind them. Don't get me wrong, there are some journalist bias toward Microsoft and Nintendo, but the bias toward Sony is so great in the gaming community. For instance Halo 3 is a perfect example how people prise mediocrity vs. innovation.

This is what creates the followers of each company arguing over what code is running better?

[Oner]

^^^^ This = Epic

Accurate and true...that's what's so sad about the state of gaming journalism.

[Counter Strike]

2010 GREAT YEAR TO BE A PS3 GAMER ROFL LMAO!

Heavy Rain and MAG - Avarage Games!

Mass Effect 2 - OH WAIT ITS GOTYYY !!

[devilhunterx]

Wait wait. So Nowgamer was right about the GAYLO:OD review too?

[scott182]

I am able to admit this game really is not good, it's more of a test for future games it seems. Plus the people online that play it are jerks.

[Toixer]

Funny thing is even if the servers were up for 2 days already, there's no way to expect a perfectly coordinated group this early. Sorry, but I would be very disappointed, if the maps were that easy to memorize. Even MW2 took me a few days to really progress.

So their main argument against it, looks pretty silly on 2nd sight.

[retrofly]

I always said MAG sucked. See.

[Rt0027]

The game is amazing, the game is exactly how Zipper proposed they would deliver. This game is for the HARDCORE, though they did implement ways to get n00bs into the game. THIS IS NOT MW2 or HALO3 type of shooter, this is not a lone wolf game, this is pure TEAMWORK, for those who suck, don't say the game sucks, just admit you do. Give the game the respect it deserves.

HATE THE PLAYER, NOT THE GAME

See you on the battlefield R.A.V.E.N

[Akagi]

@Alpha, China phoned, they want their wall back.

@M.A.G, the beta was damn good.
