80 isn't a bad score by any stretch of the imagination and even if it does settle around 80 that doesn't mean it still isn't worth getting a PS3 for. PS3 is the only console that offers a game of this size.

It is worth getting one if you wish to play something unique like this.

 

 

Not everything is based on reviews.

It's on 76 (metacritic) after the first day of the reviews! that is not good for a Sony exclusive that Zipper kept boosting about, even today they said MAG is not possible on the 360 (see CVG) due to the "powerz of the c3ll", why do they say silly things like that when the game is getting poor reviews on the first day!?!? shocking!

And also, as you know, Metacritic scores normally go down as more reviews get added, it hardly ever goes higher, 76 at the moment, that could eaily drop into the 60's within a few days, not saying it will but it could.

It's a 78 at the moment actually and if you read some of these reviews you will see that some are based on the beta and not the retail release. Servers only went up today.

Some of the other reviews that are based on the retail release I believe were done due to an event held by Zipper for these reviewers to play.

 

Also as I said read the reviews. If a 78 score that hits on graphics and awards the gameplay is considered bad than this gen's gamers are lost. My opinion anyways.

 

They also said it wasn't possible as well because of how LIVE is set up. I doubt P2P can support this at all.

They also asked someone to prove them wrong, which would need to happen before you can even try to debunk what they said. Huxley was supposed to be around half of MAG (120 players) and I am sure the 360 version got canned or put on hold indefinitely.

 

I only ask that people read the content and not just the end score. The end scores never match up correctly with what it written in the reviews since it is based on so many things. Look at Lost Odyssey for example, the game is praised by many yet according to your standards it isn't really good.

I totally agree with you. This is the problem with gamers and the industry these days. It's all about the scores, not what the reviewers have to say. Most reviewers have actually postponed their reviews until they experience all there is to MAG in the retail release. I'm also sure some reviews released now will be adjusted.
