You're only 14 posts into your GAF account and your already hitting out with stuff like this?

The Hug Dog said:Hmm, thats an interesting and original take on Haze.
SpokkX said:oh shit 4.5?!
The game never looked good to begin with and the demo was very generic. I expected mabye 6.5 but I guess the game is even worse than I thought

'Tis done.randomwab said:Could someone PM me the IGN review text. I would like to read over this and see just what they said.
4.5 Presentation
A bland story with weak characters and simplistic commentaries on serious topics, Haze is a generic tale at best about war.
4.0 Graphics
Tons of visual issues abound within the game, from texture tears and non-descript environments to pop-in and odd animation problems.
5.0 Sound
Dialogue is hokey and repetitive regardless of what side you're on. Sound effects are good, but that's not enough to make you turn the volume up once you've hit mute.
4.5 Gameplay
A creative concept hampered by gimmicks, a weak story and poor AI, Haze is a disappointment from a developer well versed in shooter mechanics.
4.5 Lasting Appeal
Two player split-screen and four player co-op helps put a minor spin on the campaign, but it won't extend the replayability of the game much. Nor will multiplayer modes and its useless merit system.
4.5
Poor OVERALL
(out of 10 / not an average)

Iksenpets said:Didn't the FR guys call out Halo as a children's game compared to the bold and compelling narrative they were weaving with Haze?
Anyway, to me it sounds like FR just overstepped their capacities in trying to do this epic, serious game. They were better off doing the quirky shooter that didn't try to reinvent the wheel or change the world.
SpokkX said:yeah can you observe a pattern? maybe there is something to it
Damn, this must be really hard on the guy. He's obviously passionate about what he does and had a lot of high goals in mind, but it sounds like the final product didn't really meet the vision stated in the interview.squicken said:

JCBossman said:I think it really took a hit for the poor quality Visuals, because if a MGS series can do alright score wise with a story like that, ANYTHING can do ok as long as looks good and plays well. Funny thing FR was one of the best in the visual dept. last gen.

antiloop said:At least they understood the point with a harddrive in every PS3. It has almost no load times. (just one in the beginning?)
I would say that's a big step for next-gen even if the rest of the game sucks.
Totobeni said:was there an official thread for God Hand ? also LAIR got the same scores and got official thread
Yeah, do you reckon MS has paid them off on this one? Seems a bit suspect to me.nib95 said:Looking at other pretty crappy FPS lately, I think they were overly harsh on Haze. They gave Blacksite a 6.2 and Turning Point Fall of Libery a 5. Based on the demo of Haze alone, plus the fact that it's got some new ideas even if IGN think they're gimmicky, coupled with 4 player co-op and what is undoubtedly better controls and aiming than the said games, should have given it at least a higher score than these other titles. IGN are a too harsh on PS3 exclusives at times.
Uncharted didn't have any visible load times.antiloop said:At least they understood the point with a harddrive in every PS3. It has almost no load times. (just one in the beginning?)

It was a joke dude. You must have seen these nib95 threads:nofi said::lol
No.
Rainy Dog said:Uncharted had no load times either and that required no mandatory install, just enough free space for temp caching.
DC R1D3R said:So IGN gave Haze a 4.5 huh? Not a good look :[
Well seeing as GAF sites IGN as one of the least biased sites out there, the game must be pretty poor and I've now really gotta question EDGE's rather "glowing" preview of Haze (as opposed to the rather negative preview of NG2) in last months issue. I'll be eagerly awaiting their final scores cos something just doesn't add up.
I think they got the exclusive by offering to pay for the marketing. Apparently Sony have already started advertising it on the TV, although I've not seen any ads yet here in the UK.Speevy said:It would be funny if Sony won some sort of bidding war for this game.

Maybe it's like AC and only the 9+ score can be posted beforeKeyser Soze said:Apparently all UK sites have now got their reviews embargoed until the day the game releases

Kingsora said:AC didn't get a 4,5 of IGN
And what's up with the high Famitsu score then???
"Average User Rating"King_Slender said:Hmm, weird. 1UP has it listed as an "A", but there is not review up yet. I thought that might just be a placeholder, but I looked up GRID, which hasn't released, and it's just rated as HOT.
Something fishy going on here.
JCBossman said:So whats the deal, is this back on for the 360 too?

Yeah, but they don't love the good ones, like BG&E. Besides, Ubi are only publishing this. If it really is as bad as IGN make it out to be, then it's all down to Free Radical.Kabuki Waq said:I am sure Europeans will buy this game. They seem to love every crappy game by UBI.
eznark said:doesn't the game come out today, why are there only two reviews up on metacritic?
