Classic Magicka moment there.
I don't think price should ever influence the review score. I think that's up to the consumer to decide. What happens in 3 months when the game is on sale, will you re-review the game?

Even as a joke, it's not even the right context.

I think PS Plus members get 10% off so that's helps for people looking for a discount
sorry
Great contribution.
I think especially for those downloadable games it was always be a factor, how often did we read "for 15$ this is..." or "it would have been perfect with a pricetag of..." I think it's perfectly fine to factor the value into the review.
If you read the review, it says that it's a bit overpriced and i've stated what the price should have been IMHO.
I think the value for money is absolutely important and should definitely be a factor when you judge a game. Not the main nor the only factor of course, but it's something that might be interesting for people to consider (i honestly care for that too, when i buy my stuff).
In the end, of course it's up to the consumer to decide, but i hope i can somehow give people an indication on what to do based on the text i wrote.

Awesome. Do you know if this is fun single player only, or is it something that is really only recommended with friends?

So in the launch week the game is a 8.2/10?
I agree that commenting on the value is good, but again I don't think it should influence the score, because the price of the game is not a constant.
You know, it might work if you actually read the review, not limiting yourself to a number.
Because that number is NOT the review itself, in the end.
Yes, even if that number is used to sum it up, like they do on Metacritic.
And of course, we could always disagree on the way we value the game, and that would be perfectly fine my friend.
After all, reviews are just someone's take on something, no pretense of knowing it all or of being the sheer personification of the truth.
Ok, will buy. Can't wait for the accidental deaths.

Shouldn't review discussion take place in the review thread?
Yes, it's like that. But it would be pointless to wander around on your own, given the amount of enemies and the importance of the stratagems for ALL the team.
It doesn't feel like a limitation, at all.
I hope so, lone wolves do not belong in this game.

Thanks guys. It will be interesting to see how that works. Im not thinking about lone wolfing it, but when you are trying to outrun some mobs and BAM you hit the edge of the screen shit can get messy.
Grimløck;154375906 said:
It can be annoying yes.. If you call for a Stratagem and tell your team to wait, and they don´t wait.. then you can get stuck out of the screen and die. Which most often results in a terrible angry player who kills the other team-members .. but if you play the game as it is intended (TEAMWORK) then this is no problem at all..!
Trust me, you'll want to stay close to your team mates, right in the middle of the screen.
Hoping they don't kill you by mistake due to friendly fire, LOL.
"I blame StevePharma."
Lone Wolfing is HARD as hell.. the game is intended to be played Co-op... and that is where the fun is, even with strangers (and other review people who play like shit) it is amazingly fun in Multiplayer..

Presuming you can know what $20 is worth to all of your readers is kind of ludicrous.

Seeing as I only want a single player game, I'm thinking I'll pass on this one. There's just too many games this month.
Yeah, and it's quick according to this review: http://www.thesixthaxis.com/2015/03/03/helldivers-review/

People should stop referencing data that makes me feel uncomfortable because games get ported to platforms I don't like
Store doesn't update until later in the afternoon in the US and IIRC on Wednesday in Europe.

Has there been any info on how the ps3 version plays? I'll probably split my time between ps3 and ps4.
