Well, Hawx came out today and I'm pissed.
The F22 unlock was for PS3 and 360 only even though they presented it was for PC as well...
Simply not having the F22 isn't really what I'm so fumed about... I'm irritated that I now have yet another physical copy when it's so much more convenient for me to have it on steam. I know that sounds crazy but I honestly would much rather have my games all in one place rather than have to dick around with cd's and keep track of the books with the serials on them yada yada yada...
So far, Hawx appears to be a complete failure. They pushed it back numerous times and still ended up releasing a beta. The forums are PACKED with complaints about bugs, glitches, joystick dead spots, sounds issues, etc.
What happened Tom Clancy? Did you guys get money hungry and decide to **** out 3 or 4 games at once that all suck just to make a quick buck?

EDIT: Also note that the only reason I didn't buy it on steam was because of the F22 unlock through Gamestop. If I would have known about PC not having a preorder unlock, I could have had the game in my steam collection AND had a complementary free Blazing Angels (Steam deal).
Thats too bad, it looked like it was going to be a pretty cool game.
I just played it and it's still an awesome game. I haven't experienced any of the bugs or joystick issues but then again there was a patch released today so that may have been the fix.
There is one problem though. A huge problem. No one is online. There wasn't a single match created and the #1 guy on the leader boards has just over an hour of gameplay. I'd like to be #1 but there's no1 to figgin play with!
hmm seems pretty cool!
Tons of online issues. Many people are getting disconnected after a couple minutes of playing if they can connect at all. I didn't have any problems in versus mode online but coop is 100% down and it doesn't sound like it will be patched any time soon.
Kind of sounds like the game is crashing and burning...
JUST LIKE REAL PLANES DO! Damn, this game is realistic on all fronts!
:P
I honestly don't think the game ever even got in the air lol. They had **** sales at preorder/launch and everyone that did get the game is pissed off.
I know I won't be buying another ubisoft game any time soon, that's for damn sure. Now I can't buy EA or Ubisoft.
I'm not sure why they didn't stop to think, 'Hey... if our consumers get a half-assed game they may be disappointed and look elsewhere in the future.'
Because humans have a tendency to repeat themselves. Why does the girl always go back to him if he beats her? Why do I keep drinking when I know that the next day I'll swear that I'll never drink again? so on and so forth. lol
I HATE EA for what they did to Spore and I'm almost pissed that I paid for it. But if they come out with another amazingly sweet looking game like how I felt with Spore pre-release, I'll probably buy it. lol
...Well, if I was normal anyway. Us computer nerds have our own ways of testing things out before purchasing. :p
My bro got Hawx and really likes it. I might borrow his Steam account when I get my desktop fixed.
EA ruins everything. Just look at Command & Conquer. CnC3 was okay but the expansion was really lame. RA2 was okay but a little overboard with the craziness. RA3 is awful. I played it at a friend's house and flat out detested it. There is no thought that goes into it, just a tank rush. The Chinese/Japanese themed side offends me at how stereotypical it is, not to mention the Russians and USA, as well. Ahh well, this isn't my thread or really a place to rant so I"ll end it there. /rant
In other news, from what I've seen of Hawx it looks really cool. I like that they use the same universe as the Ghosts. Keeps it nice and uhh... I forget the word, lol.
