Warning: Don't purchase

Unless you're a fan of poor console ports.

Here's what you're getting into:

No custom key mapping (complete with garbled settings files)
30 FPS cap
NO IN-GAME CHAT
Auto matchmaking
No host migration
Mouse is more sensitive X than Y (like gamepads)
Mouse sensitivity goes nuts in vehicle forms
Zoom is toggle (really screws with you when reloading)


I could go on...

[Stinger911]

And yet despite all of that, it's still a damn fun game.

Custom keys can be done with an easy workaround. In-game solutions to keys and FPS cap may be patched into the game in the future. Haven't had your mouse sensitivity problems.

[shadow946]

The fact is that it's completely irresponsible to release a PC game in 2010 like this. Sure there 3rd party workarounds to key bindings and patches may come, but it's pretty clear High Moon had no intention of putting any effort into the PC version of the game.

I'm having fun with the game. That's all I ask for.

[tpanisiak]

Might be problems now, certainly. Nothing that am inevitable patch certainly won't fix.

This game is pure win, sadly. Everything I played of it really "feels" like Transformers. I just hope people don't get turned off because of the earlier movie-to-games Transformers. This one is amazing.

Like Heids24 said; I'm having fun. That's all I ask for.

I'm still on the fence about this game. I'm gonna try to hold out for a demo, or at least see if this game comes to onlive.

Same. Hate console ports man. Matchmaking? No host migration? So what happens if someone rages and that someone is the host? Fail...

[shadow946]

A lot of people are having fun with the single player, and even though I personally don't like it (running out of ammo and waiting for squad to kill stuff), to each their own.

I can totally see why anyone would like the gameplay itself, but everything surrounding it really kills the game for me.

I'll probably play through the campaign with a gamepad, but it's not worth the price at all, especially when I was expecting a good competitive multiplayer game for the summer.

[pistolols]

Out of all those, host migration is really the only one that has me concerned as that ended up being a huge problem for AvP.

[DTKT]

Still, even with all the problems, the multiplayer is a blast.

39.99 well spent!

But, yes, a patch wouldn't hurt.

[Pluberus]

The game is crazy fun. Needs tweak/patching/support, definitely, but it is one of the best games I've ever played.

:D

[tangomango]

Hm, I'm really trying to get myself to buy this game, but with all the negatives...not so sure.

If it was just the 30FPS or the controls, I'd be fine as there are ways around it. But there are matters that are out of our hands, like the matchmaking and no host migration.

There's also a slim chance of no future patch coming? If so, the game will die within months and will NOT be worth the money. Ugh, this game's MP woulda been such a friggin' blast!

[Lomsor]

Thats really frustrating ... c'mon ... all this great potential and great game and all needed to do is to put some money just earned back into it but noooo ...

I swear ... yes I swear ... If I will get the money to open I gamecompany someone later in my life I will do it ... and I will hear to all the PC gamers and ♥♥♥♥ on the console ones so the know how it feels like to be us. Then I will buy all the great games or ideas full of potential and make some proper stuff out of it.

It's just sad how these companies can do whatever they want with us and we can't do anything about it ... this stupid dependency ...

[SapientWolf]

Is it worse than the console version?

[shadow946]

Is it worse than the console version?

No, but it's not any better. It's sub standard for a PC game.

[Teriander]

shadow946, Thanks for the heads up. I understand completely where you're coming from and Im not a fan of console ports. Appreciate you!
