Eurogamer review. 4/10.

Man, guess he just doesn't like the game.

I read: "The plot sucks", "mechs are dumb", and "slow."

Yup, Lobster mentioned this a few pages back (page 18). Check my opinion on how reviewers are approaching this game back there as well (here), if you care.

The GWJ insignia should be this. Just cause.

Because we are on the cruise?

Sure.

I love being a mech. Just got done doing the two demo levels. Count me in for getting the game. My observations were:

I like blowing stuff up.
Humans are annoying to kill.(unless you run them over)
A great sniper could really have a huge impact in a match.
I should never be a sniper.
I'm happy with the speed of my mech 95% of the time, that other 5% I am mashing the buttons looking for a nitrus burst due to me being in a very poor location.

My first mech will be a recon unit that specializes in taking out snipers.

Mercifully they can do no damage to you, and are only there to give you the joy of squishing things.

You're in luck Elliot. Both of the demo mechs have fairly heavy mobility bases, so if their speed isn't a problem you should be fine as long as you don't play anything super-heavy.

I just have to say.. 21 Pages and 606 posts for this game? whiskey tango foxtrot?

Did the pre-Halo2 thread even get half this?

I'm buying this game just to not feel left out.

Boredom at work + not enough games in the genre = really long thread.

A picture

Personally, I like the one in the picture a lot. What's that you say? Official GWJ camo pattern? Maybe!

So that was the goofy sh*t you can do with the paint editor. If you want to see something really pretty cool, though, check out this thread on the forums at chromehound.com.

Holy sh*t, that's cool.

Oh, God, I preordered it. If it sucks, my trepidation into preordering ("But... but... 'Mechs!") will be reinforced and I will forever swear it off.

So you guys better saddle up when it lands! I've got damage to cause.

Make sure to put a target on your cockpit.

Easy there, only a day or two to go.

Just playing around...

Sweet. Hey, can you confirm that you get a free grace change of alliegance without the two-week waiting period?

When I say 'severe server problems' I mean I've been trying all weekend and I've not got on at all yet!

The games still cool and I think those issues with pace are a bit unfounded. I'm just trying every time I get near the box to get online.

Yup. Lobster and I have been lurking around the official xbox.com boards, so we've seen a number of reports to this effect. Given that we are "gamers with jobs" though, we probably won't really get down to some serious online action until ear;y next week (or maybe the end of this weekend at the earliest). I know that I only have a few hours to play games each night on weeknights, and I'm going to be out of town most of this weekend, so I may not even have the single player completed until well into next week.

So at the very least my hope is that their maintenance team will have these issues addressed by the time the 3rd Goodjer Cav is ready to roll.

Lobster, you probably already saw this, but the t-rex hound guy beat you to the punch and made your mech.

(You may have to scroll down a tad to see the lobster mech.)

I'd love to see the lobstermobile in the middle of the battlefield squishing puny humans and wrecking havok.

Finally, a decent review! UGO gives it a B-.

Wow those are cool pics. Even a crappy paintjob looks sweet, hehe. The lobster is cool too. So is this on store shelves today?

Tomorrow.

But... its Tuesday... games come out on Tuesday... does nothing have MEANING in this world anymore?!

Bah. I guess The Ship gets the first crack at capturing my money and attention then.
