That is what I say ALL THE TIME when you post.

Someone needs to compile a "GoldenPhoenix's Greatest Hits: Mild Scuffles Edition" album, I'd buy it...

Well I played Warhawk for a bit, it is a fun little game but I can't say I'm super impressed, it does feel like a less complex Battlefield game.

800 MBs? They coulda done that game on the GC.

I kid! I kid!

Well I'm not surprised and surprised at the same moment, I'm not surprised since warhawk is an online only game. I'm surprised since a lot of developers tend to bloat their data sizes due to the blu-ray capacity hell Ninja Theory bragged that the sound took up 10GB in the game which to me is just rediculous.

Well, they probably were told pretty early that the game would be download-only and decided to not make it large as a result.

Ok...I really don't get it. How can a game with only 5 maps and 4 different play modes get such high scores from reviewers.

Basically it sounds to me like a game that just combines good airborne, tank, and land battle together in a multiplayer experience...but with little to no variety.

I am beginning to think that graphics and online gameplay has the ability to blind reviewers into believing anything is great.

However, the Wii always gets knocked around...even good games...for not having great graphics or online.

But after the high reviews I expect Battalion Wars 2 to be getting high scores.

They're rating WarHawk 3 versus the rest of the PS3's lineup.

... and on the potential.

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #32 on:** August 30, 2007, 08:12:20 AM »

What is there is pretty good, but I agree Spak, the reviews confuse me.

So worth buying? I only have one game so far for PS3 and my next purchase is between this and Resistance. Any advice welcome.

Caliban · « **Reply #34 on:** August 30, 2007, 09:26:58 AM »

I played some Warhawk today, my friend brought his PS3 to play on my HDTV because he doesn't have one yet, it was fun but, and there's a big but, it took me quite a while to get used to the dual-analog style of play and even worse when it comes to aiming when I have been playing alot of MP3C, I was really getting frustrated at the aiming but nevertheless it was fun and even more because both of us were playing online and we were just goofing around every once in while.

Well I would recommend buying it online unless you really want the headset, for 39.99 I think it is worth it. Just expect a fun, yet limited experience.

I can see it being fun that way, also I agree totally with the controls. Wii has spoiled me to traditional analog controls, where aiming has been harder than ever to get used to with the analog sticks.

It is definitely fun with several players in the same room, even better if you have a big screen...I can't wait for Battalion Wars and its online co-op missions.

Thanks. Yeah I'm thinking I'll get the hard copy, as I do need a headset... but any Blue-Tooth headset works right? I'll order it online if I can find another headset for cheaper I guess.

Oh yeah, Lair has shipped to stores, in fact people are starting to pick it up already.

Caliban · « **Reply #40 on:** August 30, 2007, 01:28:30 PM »

Street date was broken

Ebgames.com also says shipping, so I wonder if a street date was really broken, seems odd that the main corporate site of ebgames/gamestop would be selling it.

Things are not looking good for Lair at ALL, PSM gave it a 5/10 and at the moment it has a 68%. Should be interesting to see what IGN and Gamespot say.

Update:

Ouch IGN gives a scathing review of Lair, a 4.9/10

Ceric · « **Reply #43 on:** August 30, 2007, 03:14:06 PM »

When I first heard of Warhawk I thought it be interesting as a Single Player game. Then I later heard they stripped the single player portion of it and I'm no longer interested. Now I'm going to watch the Wall E trailer again.

I will also say that 800MB is small for a PS3 game where the demos seem to be around a gig.

Edit: Wow that review makes it sound like it stuck everything else and through the gameplay out the window. Which gave it the low score.

UERD · « **Reply #44 on:** August 30, 2007, 03:19:15 PM »

So, is 0/3 in terms of trying for a megahit a good thing?

Also, it looks like Sony has found a good use for all those not-exactly-flying-off-the-shelves PS3s, as well as saving themselves a lot of money.

Maverick · « **Reply #45 on:** September 17, 2007, 11:06:04 AM »

I finally picked this up today, anyone want to pop my Warhawk cherry?

Try craigslist

Pale · « **Reply #47 on:** September 18, 2007, 01:12:26 PM »

I have no idea what I'm doing, I played the game for like 20 minutes total, so we can both get shot down together.

Pale · « **Reply #49 on:** September 18, 2007, 01:50:04 PM »

What is your ps3 name? Er something. Mine's PaleZer0 (the last 0 is the number zero).

Is that what we need? I don't even know how to work this thing. =P
