You should give it a go.

i would've bought warhawk if they'd left the single player stuff in. even if it sucked. the ps1 game was that fuckin cool

i'm actually kind of jonesing for one of those flight games, but neither warhawk nor lair nor ac6 really seems that appealing right now. maybe ac6.

This is like an OpaAges thread.


Sorry to burst your bubble about how EB has real gamers here.  It's basically a big Xbot circle jerk here.  That's why Jotaro gets attacked for downloading 360 games every though everyone with a PSP is downloading PSP games.  What true gamer would want to play some underwater corridor shooter instead of August's "perfect storm" of gaming on the PS3 w/ 1)Lair 2) Warhawk & 3)Gundam DW?  So I shoot enemies in a underwater city instead of in a WWII or Sci fi setting?  Big fucking deal. 

I'm so sick of the trolling against Sony that goes on in this forum.  The hypocrisy is so thick that I can barely see anything on this forum.  And it's just sad that the mods are a big part of it. The pro-MS slant here is not surprising at all when you consider that half of the people with power here are hired by MS.   I wish they would just come out and admit their biases instead of pretending that there is no hidden agenda here.  I would have just posted at GAF or even OA if I knew that I had to deal with all this trolling and mod abuse. 
Title: Re: For the people who didnt buy Warhawk
Post by: abrader on August 30, 2007, 03:13:43 PM
Wow - I dont know if I believe all of that...LOL

I just know I dont post about or post in threads about games I have no interist in or have no intention fo playing.

Like why even make this thread? I mean if you dont like Warhawk and have no intention of playing just STFU and move along.

I know I do that with the Nintendo threads and my life is much more peaceful without getting all riled up about how much I hate Nintendo and prefer X360/PS3/PSP over Wii/NDS.


Title: Re: For the people who didnt buy Warhawk
Post by: Smooth Groove on August 30, 2007, 03:25:46 PM
The fanboys just can't deal with the fact that games are now appearing on the PS3 that simply wouldn't have been possible on any other system, like for example, Warhawk. 

What makes Warhawk so different from other games in the genre, is that you have the option to deviate from the main mission to do whatever you want.  Why take out the ground missions when it's an accessory. This game is a sandbox game on a massive scale. It's scale and scope goes beyond anything except maybe Lair. It's going for battles of the scale of a NNN, or Heavenly Sword. It's like if you threw Ace Combat, a tank game and fps together, then sprinkled in elements of NNN/HS in there with the size of the battles. You don't have to land your ship and run around, unless you want to.  Even if you disregard the stunning visuals in HD and incredibly realistic physics, Warhawk is an amazing game.  It's an absolute bargain even if it were selling for 60 bucks instead of 40.   You're not a real gamer if you don't even want to give Warhawk a try at $40.

Warhawk is clearly possible on the X360, just not as an XBLA game. You would need to buy it in the store on a disk.

Why?  For talking about a great game that we really want to play?  Why don't you complain about the people that created a thread for the sole purpose of trolling a game that's on a system they hate?   The sad thing is that, with the way that moderation has been going on in this forum, you'll probably get your wish.
