Well I invited brad to a game and he declined. I was SnackbarSickboy007 said:i'm in the last STO stream! :lol

a) The actual way to play isn't obvious
b) The game doesn't tell you the way to play
These two are very valid. At the least Zipper should have offered build help. They give some suggestions about taking the medkit, but I think they should hang a big red sign on it.
c) A kind of design that attracts the kind of people who would insult others for not knowing how to play before the game is even out
This is internet douchery. There's no way to avoid it. If you play Yahoo Games! Go you'll meet douches.
Just seems like they've really screwed up here.
Depends on what you mean. They could have offered more tutorials to help people learn, but a steep learning curve is not in itself a bad thing for those who are willing to invest the time. It just raises the bar. If they had hoped this would be their Halo (which I doubt) then they screwed up. If they wanted a game that a small segment of the userbase will play a lot, like SOCOM, I think they're on the right path.
Why buy a game if your first.. 2? 4? 10? hours of play are going to be awful?
This is very true. I personally favor giving people bonus xp at the very low levels, and making early (sub-level 5) respecs free, since it's so easy to screw up a build and the game doesn't really reward experimentation (instead, like most competitive games with skill trees we'll probably see cookie-cutter builds).

MAG is anything but a Battlefield clone. It has more in common with Enemy Territory/Quake Wars (spawn waves, focused objectives, linear progression etc.) than any game in the BF series.Cday said:MAG looks about as average as it gets. The closest comparison I can draw by watching that is with Frontlines: Fuel of War. Which was a bland Battlefield clone. Ramp up the player count and the only thing I can think of is how much more I would be getting shot in the back from people just spawning or hiding in corners.

I thought the game came off as really interesting. It was clear they hadn't played it too much, so I wasn't expecting him to be pulling off anything amazing, but the game flowed pretty well. If I didn't have a giant backlog I'd probably break down and buy it, as it stands I'll hold off for a few months and check back in on it.Yoshichan said:I actually got hyped as heck by watching the MAG quick look Going to buy it soon I think.

kylej said:I don't think it's possible to make a game more generic than MAG. Holy shit that looks terrible.
That it is! I do have to admit though that during the beta, I thought that it gave a small boost to the gameplay when you hit a streak and the music kicked in. It's like playing your very own fragmovie. :lolobonicus said:Oh, no, I mean it's hilarious.
Gameplay-wise, absolutely not. Especially on consoles.Massa said:I didn't like MAG but it's definitely not generic.
Mayor Haggar said:Yeah, because Capcom Versus games are really boring, especially during high-level play.
Should have been called "Tatsunoko vs Capcom: New age of Boredom"
Right?

Sega1991 said:Their new guy really needs to find his Quick Look legs. He's their Ryan Scott, currently. He's getting there, though! He's more talkative in this one than he was the last.
Not that I'd do any better, though. If it was me, I'd probably be just as quiet.

Love when there's open disdain for a game. Two minutes in
"Well, the server is going down in two minutes so let's stop this Quick Look and try again later."
"Nah, I think we'll be good."
Can't wait to see how the remaining thirty minutes or so go.
edit: :lol :lol :lol Ryan's guess at the plot was great. After the quickening and the reshaping of the Earth, three PMCs are fighting for stem cells.
