Title: Does anyone here play Warhawk?
Post by: duckman2000 on July 01, 2008, 09:59:11 PM
I have a free rental token at BB due to some dude's shitty 360 scratching up the Halo 3 disc I had rented, so I was thinking about renting this instead. I played in the beta, in the odd moments that it didn't freeze, but I never gave the retail version a fair hearing. Anyone still into Warhawk?

If a bunch of people are gonna get together and play, I'll be in.  I play it every once in a while.  I was planning too earlier today, but I started up Resistance single player for some reason instead.  I wish this game had online co-op.

Nope.  Now that I've gotten Quake Wars, I'll probably never try Warhawk.

I thought you didn't have 360 anymore?

Anyway I have it but I never play it, I always want to though

I borrowed one. I had a craving for Crackdown.

Anyway, this all became largely theoretical, as the god damned video store doesn't actually have the game.  :punch

In the patch at the end of the the month, they will be including tutorial missions for people to learn how to play the game.  I'm sure that can help some of you.

There is also trophy and custom soundtrack support.

Yeah, that's a smart addition. Dylan Jobe gives a shit. Hopefully he gets to work on something wicked soon enough.

Trophy whoring is a bit crazy now.  I signed onto PSN yesterday to just download the Uncharted patch (not replaying it yet), and there were like 8 or more people playing Uncharted there.  This morning I checked and people were still playing.  A certain gaf posters who...uhh, show 'affection' towards this game already has 33/45 trophies.  Crazy.

I have one trophy that I got from Eden.  I am satisfied.

This patch will rejuvenate my interest in this game.

I am going to start playing it again, but I have been meaning to anyway.  I can't resistant playing Danger Zone while flying around.

And the new Burnout Paradise patch that includes Motorcycles and Night time racing sounds amazing.

Sony made them cool. Duh. It's not just for unemployed, pizza-munching, pop-guzzling southern fatso nerds anymore. Now it's sophisticated, and stylish.

Demi's not southern.

If he's an Xbox 360 loving Achievement whore, then he is in some ways a southerner.

Always thought they were kind of a waste and still due.  Maybe I am wrong for saying it is a waste when I am fully aware it is just my disinterest in the video game equivalent of comparing dick sizes, but yeah, I still think it is a waste...unless they unlock something or turn out to be creative in some way.  Bioshock achievements made me laugh at times, so they were cool.  Things like "complete this level" or "shoot guys in head" suck.  Things that make you go out of your way to get them are awesome.  Crackdown also had great ones.

I always enjoyed the Ratchet skill point system, which rewarded you with concept art and such.
Title: Re: Does anyone here play Warhawk?
Post by: AdmiralViscen on August 05, 2008, 09:50:07 PM
Are people in general still playing this game?

Yup.
Title: Re: Does anyone here play Warhawk?
Post by: duckman2000 on August 05, 2008, 10:12:27 PM
Yeah, I'm actually surprised over how populated the game is. Prepare to get your ass kicked, though.
Title: Re: Does anyone here play Warhawk?
Post by: cool breeze on August 05, 2008, 10:24:39 PM
Resistance is also still really populated, but for some reason everyone just plays the 1 shot/1 kill mode.  I'm not even joking.  Sign on right now and you will see that 90% of the games are 1 shot/1 kill.

Also, yeah, I like in-game achievement points that reward you with stuff.  I remember with Uncharted I actually would try and get points so I could unlock other costumes or filters.

I'm pretty sure I can handle a bunch of PS3 online players.

Right... let us know how it went, OK?

I can't believe they are bitching.  They just leaked that jetpacks are going to be in the game.

I hope it is true.  Jetpacks are so awesome.

Actually, jetpack revelation aside, bitching about the difficulty involved in collecting trophies seems more than mildly distinguished mentally-challenged. Those things actually sound like genuine achievements.

PS3 owners are about to learn how annoying it is to play a game where you get achievements for suiciding and goofing off.
Title: Re: Does anyone here play Warhawk?
Post by: duckman2000 on August 07, 2008, 01:27:32 AM
There are what, 4 of those achievements? And each one require 5 instances of the mistake? Yeah, I think they will be fine. Hell, I could nail those achievements in a single game. Warhawk kicks my ass.  :(

i don't take online games seriously enough to be bothered.  people can do whatever.  i just worry about what i'm doing (and i will be going for the trophies :P).  it's not like there's a teamkill trophy.
