PC Gamer blasts OFP: Red RIver

[Fatal_Papercut~SPARTA~]

(Sorry for starting a new thread on this, but for the life of me I couldn't find the older ones)

 

PC Gamer just released it's review of 'Operation Flashpoint: Red River' on their website. In short, you'd be better of spending your $50 to pay someone to kick you in the groin.

DAAAAANG! Shredded it, like Parmesan cheese. Holy crap, the only way it sounds like the game good be better is if it hadn't been made in the first place.

[EL_n00biachi]

Haters; me and Haji already have it preloaded.

[NoScream~SPARTA~]

Strange, because all those playing it through the campaign say something different...

 

I looked at the actual players feedback on the Cm forums and it's surprisingly positive.

Either PCGAMER review is bias or he had a bad day cos I could find little to support his claims when compared to the players feedback.

[Hajimoto]

Glad to read it.... Glasses or not I beat Codemasters arse for the crap they pulled!

 

 

 

 

Over and over I beat your face, Codemasters!!!

[EL_n00biachi]

lol^^

[MedicSN6]

LOL

[Batwing~SPARTA~]

HHEhehhahahhee Love that Haji !!

[andrewman~SPARTA~]

They gave it a whole 45%

[Batwing~SPARTA~]

Besides the reviewer may had a bad day, that one was one of the most angry review I ever approached.

 

That reminded me of myself when I was discussing about Frontlines - Fuel of War (That is Homefront older brother..).

 

I am surprised he gave it 45

[Rooster90]

I'm surprised it wasn't even Evan writing it. XD

 

Good for PC Gamer. Seemed like an honest review to me, the game deserves nothing better. Looks like total crap.

Does this read like a group that has changed the way they do business??? This is on their official forums for the PC.

 

Here are the patch notes for the day-1 PC patch for Operation Flashpoint: Red River. This patch brings the PC version into alignment with the console versions of the game. There will not be a day-1 patch for console versions as they are already updated to the latest version, however we do request you to keep sending in yourbug reports of any issues you encounter for the development team to continue working on improving the game.

Doesn't this read like someone forgot to have a meeting with the janitor who handles the coding for the PC?

Hey Sion Lenton, never again dude!

Client ALT-Tabbing while loading now gives correct error message

 

Whut??? What error message did it give before, BSOD?

 

Judging by the above list of fixed bugs, one would assume that this is their first game. Homefront is looking really good at this point.

[Batwing~SPARTA~]

HEHEHAHAHEHEEHAHEHE !!!!!!!

 

THAT S THE MOST HILARIOUS LIST OF CRAP PRESENTED ON "DAY 1 PATCH" !!!

 

I mean really, what s wrong with this ppl???? I mean, this crap sells for $56.99 !!!! EOOOOOHHHH !!! that s MONEY! it works ! it doesn t need a patch when you go to the restaurant or the movie theater or to a hooker to pay pay whatever service you like !!

 

We should start paying this fucking crappy studios with the MONOPOLY MONEY and then send 'em an email sayin.. "bytheway, if you want your paymnent patched to Money 1.1, please provide a working game".

 

And i didn t even buy the game and I am already pissed !! lololol !

General comment: rant

 

Your suppose to be unbiased review(ing), get a grip.

 

For all the bad things you mention, not one good thing comes to pen and paper.

Yet, the majority of players on their forums report a real good game (to put it mildly).

http://community.codemasters.com/forum/general-discussion-1335

Other reviews (by other magazines) say the same, it's a very good game apart from AI issues

(like many AI based games, ARMA!) and there is too much bad language (which I can't see the problem with).

Plz stop being so biased.

 

 

I looked at this game and it's not my thing, like 'home front' mentioned by Medic, but I can't see the point of

trolling the developer if the community that are buying it, love it in the main (see their forums).

 

Me personally, don't support the game style Cm are going with or the engine it's based on (as I personally think, it has flaws).

 

MY POINT

 

Yet I read the utter troll sh*t at bohemia and can't think of a reason to compliment them retards with one brain cell after

allowing months of utter trolling, especially from their w*nker moderator, who is suppose to keep the balance and not lead

the f*ck tards in a 17th century crusade of single cell fools who are only too happily post after him.

 

 

So lets keep one thing clear, you may not like the game, I may not like the game but if 10,000 owners play, post feedback and in

general love it, who are we to spread sh*t on their title. PLZ dont' let the sh* that lives on Bohemia's off topic forum spread over here,

if you don't know what I mean:

RANT OVER.

 

 

Questions: Have any of you played the release version?

[custard~SPARTA~]

If I feel depressed I go read that thread at BIS Viii it's a total scream cheers me up no end.

Questions: Have any of you played the release version?

 

 

Viii, I don't personally read or visit game forums (beside EVE) because most of the time they are just people complaining about stuff the devs can't or won't change. I won;t even bother with the links either. If what you say is true, then it isn't worth my time. What I CAN tell you is that CM got a bunch of my money for Dragon Rising, but they won't get it for their new title. At least we didn't have anyone talking this game up on our forums which lead to us all going out and buying it only to have it be rubbish for multiplayer. (Single player was decent though.)

 

I have learned my lesson with CM. If the fans want to play the new game and climb under codemaster's desk then let them.

[Halli~SPARTA~]

Yep and I remember when you were moderator there and had to deal with all thier Bovine Scat, ah don't worrie none to much Viiiper we will have some better games to come out in the fall... well at least we hope they will be better as I am looking forward to BF3.

Yep, I think we all are looking forward to BF3 Halli.

[Durka-Durka~SPARTA~]

Well I can't say it wasn't expected.

 

I saw a comment somewhere that was the most constructive yet: The company should stick with what they're good at, which is simulation. The money may be in the arcade-y stuff, but they are more suited to simulation, so they should play to their strengths.

[EL_n00biachi]

A Milsim on the EGO engine????LOL no thank you....maybe Codemasters can do some good driving sims,but this posse around Sion Lenton couldnt even code a working "Reversi".

 

Btw VIIIIIII you know howmany loved Dragon Rising when it just came out?ROFL there were about...uhm.....0 left.....after 3 weeks.....

 

It all comes down to .....if you're not making Operation flashpoint,dont call it Operation Flashpoint.
