Is it wrong of me that I've literally never heard of "Warhawk" or "Starhawk" before? And I'm not just talking about knowing nothing about it, I'm saying that I've literally never heard anyone talk about this game before

Honestly, if it isn't in the top 10 of the preorder charts, then it isn't something to get excited about :p

Europe is up.

Starhawk really bombed here. Even lower than Japan.

 

that is a bomb...  Wow....  but fully expected.  Sequel to a poor selling and massively over-rated Warhawk.

Massively over-rated? It's under-rated if anything. Great game

metacritic is over 84 (so i dont know what thehusbo is going on about above)

I'd give it a 6.

If buyers loved warhawk so much and over 1 million were sold, then that begs the question.... why has this bombed?


What do you mean you u don't know what I'm in about? Metacritic is 84.. I said that's not really critical acclaim. Which it is not. Stop trying to argue things for the sake of it as usual. The game went under the radar due to virtually no advertisement. what did u expect?

Warhank bombed in first weeks too... the 1 million is due the LEGZ.

go on then.. give me an ethomaz classic prediciton for starhawk...  

I think this game can sell 1 million+ but not too much... 1.1m lifetime.

84 is critical acclaim.


84 means generally favourable reviews. 90+ is critical acclaim.

has Starhawk received any marketing....like at all, where I am (which is really big) I haven't seen one commercial or any posters, nothing at all



Epic_Bro_Fist on 18 May 2012

I don't know what people are talking about when they say that Starhawk didn't get any marketing, during week before its launch I was bombarded by Starhawk youtube advertisement.

Starhawk bombed.....huh

PS3 fans are fanatic about their exclusives....so I ask: What happened? 

Cause I seriously would like to know. 

Oh yeah like we're going to buy each PS3 exclusive.

Stop flaming.

You said it yourself before, there are better games out there.
Warhawk came out early in PS3s life cycle when gamers had less to choose from.
