going to pick this up this week, no clan for GAF? or I'll go back to my old one

I'll play in the gaf clan for sure.

Gies giving a PlayStation exclusive a lukewarm response is no surprise. It's sort of his MO.

Oh don't start with that shit. His review reads like he gave it a genuine try, and had some enjoyable moments with the game. Sounds like it just didn't "click" for him in ways that it did for other reviewers, which is entirely understandable. Especially given just how strange some of the game's mechanics are.

His reviews, when it comes to PlayStation exclusives, seem to usually have this tone of negative qualification, as if he spends his efforts explaining why someone wouldn't enjoy the game first and foremost. I listened to Rebel FM for about a year before I just couldn't put up with his perspective anymore.

I don't care for his reviews or opinions on the industry- and my issues with him are clearly noticeable enough to have built him a reputation on his attitude.


With that out of the way, I can't wait to finally play Starhawk in split-screen. I was worried about the malleable battlefield elements before, but the beta changed all that. This game is exactly what I'm looking for right now.

[sometimes]

Just pre-ordered.

The beta was the most fun I have had with a multiplayer in a very long time, looking forward to trying the various maps and weapons we didn't get to experience in the beta

I think people should remember, the build & battle is a big part, but not essential - you can play a whole game without touching it, people will choose their roles but there is always the option

That's fair, but he also reviews 360 exclusives negatively too. Hell, he said that Bloodforge was the worst thing he'd played this year so far, and that was a 360 exclusive in a Live Arcade promotion.

If I'm honest, I just enjoy his writing style, so different tastes I suppose :)

But yes, ANYWAY. I'm looking forward to the co-op, should be pretty fun :)

I'm betting that a significant portion of players will stick to being shock troops and pilots moreso than architects, which is honestly the way I want to see the teams pan out. Having a ratio of 1:4 (builders to fighters) would probably work for the best.

I'm definitely going to be building, but mainly for resource building I bet (bikes to get around and secure rift, first and foremost, then small, armored spawn points across the map).

[tusken77]

Make that a 9, two 8s and a tentative 8. thesixthaxis have given an 8 for the single-player, multiplayer review to come.

When I get more time, I'll update the OP with the reviews. Right now, I'm on break at work on my phone.

In the beta I found myself trying out both, which I think is what was great.

I would sometimes spend a whole game building and then also 'tidying up' duplicate builds etc, but for me it was fun as I knew it was contributing towards the battle - then, if I felt like it i'd hop on a jet bike and check out whats going on in the field - all good fun -

so many times I would see we have picked up their flag, to build a bike station, race down there and 'donate' my bike so the player could take their flag back to our base - felt good!

[tusken77]

I missed Saturday's livestream. Did they play the map shown at 2:29 of IGN's review?

Anyone know if this will have an online pass? Could potentially influence my decision to buy versus renting.

Every single first party game will have it so yes.

[ChuckNyce]

Every single first party game will have it so yes.

Thanks, I assumed so but I wasn't sure if this was first party or not.

[chessnut]

is there an online pass for this?

[SSReborn]

is there an online pass for this?

lol look at post #315

[earvcunanan]

I have a feeling that I'm going to impulse buy this game tomorrow...

[MoonsaultSlayer]

Got my GS text. Wish I can pick it up now instead of waiting until tomorrow after work. Even worse, Wednesday I have a Cake concert to go to and I'm only going so a ticket doesn't go to waste lol. I don't mind them, just wouldn't go out of my way to see them ordinarily.
So my time with it will be limited for a bit.

I'm trying not to. I don't wanna get burnt.

[Loudninja]

Co-op looking really good.

[MoonsaultSlayer]

That's how you do co-op. My online game nights are going to be amazing! Me, my brother, my dad and a buddy.... So good

[tusken77]

Yeah, the co-op looks lots of fun and pretty challenging with that aggressive AI. They only managed to get to wave 4.

yeah, I'm betting that if they had more time with the game they would dominate cause they lacked the building strategy

[The Lamp]

Pre-ordered it today. Picking it up Wednesday after my last final. I'm so excited!!!

[tusken77]

Zone Battle on Echo now. Really interested to see this.

[Loudninja]

Looking forward to some gaf impressions.

[rCIZZLE]

Looking forward to some gaf impressions.

Same here. I'm leaning on the side of "bought" though unless it gets a ton of hate.

[FrenchMovieTheme]

god damn multiplayer looks incredible in the hands of players who know what they're doing. hopefully i can catch on and be competitive quickly. i played the beta for literally 30 minutes and had no fucking clue what i was doing so i was turned off on the game

[Loudninja]

We have to make a clan for this.

Playing with randoms is not an option lol.

[Dr.Horrible]

So excited this is finally coming out tomorrow. I loved the beta and intend to play the he'll out of this one. Feel free to add me, psn is the same as my user name.

[Loudninja]

They are showing the live broadcast again.

[Square Triangle]

My day will probably consist of this tomorrow.

By the way anyone that has a Rift Hunter code may be interested in the response to my message to Dylan Jobe:

Warhawk had the best clan system that i've seen in any ps3 game, no wonder the community was really tight knight. SH is based on the same system with more clan features. Can't wait.

[Jakfu]

Ordered it on amazon with release date shipping.

so add me
PSN: Jafku

[FrenchMovieTheme]

i want to be in the clan!

[Corran Horn]

Didnt care for the Beta much but my love of warhawk will cause me to buy this game tomorrow.

[T-0800]

Didnt care for the Beta much but my love of Warhawk will cause me to buy this game tomorrow.

Fixed?

Beta didn't really do it for me but I think I will buy it anyway.

[Corran Horn]

Fixed? Beta didn't really do it for me but I think I will buy it anyway.

Lol ya. Damn mind.

[Trevelyan]

Can't wait to get off work early tomorrow. Loved the hell out of Warhawk, loved the hell out of the beta, and I will love the hell out of this game come tomorrow. Someone needs to set up the GAF clan.

The gameplay looked really good. Zones matches seem to work very well with the game mechanics.

[Cisce]

Add me to the clan: PSN: Krigoth

Pre-ordered the game only on Sunday, so chances are it's going to come on Wednesday but I'm fine with waiting. :)

Looks awesome - how many space missions are there?

Don't know about that fake South African / New-stralian accent though *cringe*
