GameTrailers = 7.9 score [video link HD] : Othor Games

» Mon Mar 28, 2011 3:47 pm

So!

Expectations not fulfilled, parkour weak, 8 vs 8 limit, 8 maps only, horrible SP

Multiplayer better get patched is all I'm saying!

I'm gonna wait a month or two, let the game patch itself a bit more. Looks to unpolished for my tastes. Plus I need a total computer hardware overhaul anyways.

I am so disappointed with these reviews so far.

You mean you're disappointed with the game

I've seen a half a dozen reviews so far. The highest rating I saw was an 8 the lowest a 2, all out of 10.
They have a lot of polishing left to do.

Yeah, I definitely expected more.

» Mon Mar 28, 2011 4:23 pm

7.9 is pretty good where I come from.

Heck, folks only rate me as an 8.

A 2? I rarely buy games and i'm definitely getting Skyrim (midnight launch), but I was going to get either Brink or LA Noire.

total bummer... I think ill be returning my pre order... This game looked great. but it just wasnt what i was thinking it would be i guess....

It said it was good with a few kinks.
In an interview they said they had a system for rapid patch development, so I'm hoping that we'll see it used to iron out those kinks.

What are these "kinks" I keep hearing about?

This should have been an arcade title, Section 8>Blink

You should make your own judgement and not let reviews do that for you, heck if I listened to reviews I would own every COD on PS3.

Why? Reviews are averaging at around 8, pretty standard scores for anything that isn't COD, GTA, Zelda, MGS etc.

Have they not been following the game?

8 vs. 8 isn't a negative. It's a different focus from the large-scale games.

Assassin's Creed never got slammed for having 8 player maximum on its multiplayer, as far as I saw.

And I'm pretty sure they ALREADY KNEW IT WAS 8 vs. 8. Class-based gaming the way Brink is done WOULDN'T WORK on a larger scale.

Wow, all of you(no wait most sorry) are total sheep. Just because some people think it's bad doesn't mean it's bad, look at every CoD game. All of them get epic reviews, they get boring and old after about 3 months. This game is new, fresh, and unique, if people don't like it well it's their loss.

You would pay 60 bucks for Section 8:Prejudice? Yea it's a good game I'll give it that, but if there is no communication in that game(Which there really isn't) then it should stay at 15 bucks.

8 vs 8? Oooh big deal, COD only has 9v9 at max?

Only 8 maps? Oooh big deal, Black Ops only has 14 maps, thats not too big of a difference.

My point is, is that these things could be fixed. Who says they won't release map packs? Who says they can't change other flaws?

8 Maps isnt a negative at all, Killzone 2 shipped with 8 maps and got around a 9 from IGN. I dont see the point in making like 15 maps where 10 get neglected anyhow :shrug:

What the heck is wrong with 8v8?!?! CoD has 6v6, never trust reviews!

» Mon Mar 28, 2011 10:02 am

I'm happy! A lot of people said the game was going to flop, looks like its good after all !

» Mon Mar 28, 2011 3:17 pm

I think not a single review actually found out about the two what-if maps so far. But they all show the Reactor-cutscenes.

» Mon Mar 28, 2011 8:55 pm

Again - I think the main thing people are missin, is the "Fixit Patch" still to be released...

Wait for it - Try again.

» Mon Mar 28, 2011 7:42 am

See, I'm fine with bad reviews for games, as long as people back up their reasons, and stay consistent with them.

The worse thing about this all for me is that they are picking out tiny flaws in the grand scheme of things.

So what if some bodies glitch about a bit? As if CoD never does that.... [censored] me, the amount of times i've been shot into space in that game...

And slow texture loading? Something GoW is renowned for, yet that still rates reallly high on presentation levels.

Damn hypocrisy annoys me.

7.9 is pretty good where I come from.

Heck, folks only rate me as an 8.

Funny :thumbsup:

I think the patches and DLC should fix most technical issues. (which isn't cool, sick of games being 'repaired' rather than released polished)
In the end it is a niche game (intimate, objective-based multiplayer FPS basically) not loved by generalist reviewers.

Take the points certainly, but judge for yourself.
