Forums - Gaming - Homefront Review - 9/10 in OPM

CVG

The Official PlayStation Magazine Italy has given THQ's new shooter, Homefront, a 9/10 score in the world's first review.

That's according to the Homefront Facebook page, which boasts about the score in a post earlier today. "The 1st Homefront Review is here - and it's a 9 / 10! Official PlayStation Magazine Italy just gave Homefront a near-perfect score, calling it 'One of the most intense, emotional experiences of 2011'. Stay tuned for more reviews as they arrive..."

Kaos Studios' exciting new first-person shooter is off to a good start thanks to record pre-order numbers for publisher THQ, with around 200,000 US punters having signed up for battle ahead of the game's March 15 release date making it THQ's most pre-ordered title ever.

US hates Korea confirmed? A war is incoming?



I don't get it, I just don't get it.... How is this game so different than so many other generic military shooters? Why is it gaining so much press? Because of the story? Seriously? Just concept of Korea invading the US in the near future in any realistic fashion blows my mind. I cannot swallow this concept and thus cannot take this game seriously in any way.

Is it just me or do other people feel the same?

Yeah I agree. I'm getting a little fed up with the lack of original ideas by devs. Seriously, is it SO hard to come up with a concept like MGS or some original story!?

That said, IT MIGHT REALLY BE BRILLIANT, so lets see first.

It's ok, we have Deus Ex this year! Everything will be better! *curl up in a corner muttering 'Deus Ex will save us'*

That's the problem, premise behind the game is so absurd that I have extreme difficulties biting the actual storyline down. This could be the most dramatic plotline in FPS history and it would still be extremely hard for me to get into.

It's like playing a Call of Duty set in Hawaii staring Dick Price (the most awesome spec op dude ever!) from the Isle of Man against an elite army of unstoppable Swahilian commandos that have successfully become the master of Asia.

My mind cannot take this game seriously! Each time I try I just imagine the 25 million North Koreans somehow overunning all of the Asia Pacific and then proceed to emp bomb the US and finally occupying the entire fucking country which has a population over 300 millions. W-T-F mate?????????

Then I start giggling like a retard before breaking out into heartbreaking sobs of anguish denial.
