Is it as bad as the reviews are saying?

[Invictus1776]

Most of the reviews seem to be comparing it to GOH, and the other ones are complaining about the always online thing (which is getting fixed), and seeing a tank health bar lol?

is that really it that makes this game a bad game?

[Detrian]

Nope. Most of the negative reviews are written by morons and contain false information. The only real issue right now is the always online messing up with the post-match rewards, but you can restart the game and still get them. It's annoying but not a killer problem.

Nah, I've been having a blast. But I couldn't get GoH to work often and thought it was way too micro intense. This game seems to give a lot of options in how hardcore and micro heavy you want.

I feel like a company commander able to focus more on tactics than positioning every single infantryman. Seems some don't like letting the AI do its thing.

There are expectations. If they don't match with game - then it's a bad game.
Game have new gameplay - and it does not fall into any of existing patterns.

[xenon]

It's not, if you read them it's either
a) clueless
b) salty GOH simps

I played one skirmish match against AI and after I won I got a "failed to authenticate" screen or something like that. I didn't pay much attention to it, sorry, but all I could click on was the option to retry whatever check it wanted to do. It didn't work a few times and I couldn't get out any other way so I closed the game, launched it again, and that's when I got the post match screen with stats and my supply reward for playing a match.

RTS fun factor 10/10, but that's me :D

So far from 60 minutes, it has been fun. Last game i played was MOWAS2 though so don't have the colouring from GOH.

Same, damn game is outstanding

I think GoH fans expected a functional GoH game with this release

[BigMcDad]

I'll love this game so much more when you can split squads apart. The arty is still too accurate and stealth infantry and still too stealthy to the point its not fun to fight against. Playing as them feels like a metal gear game. Otherwise I hope the game does well long enough to see Japan and Britain.

I like how people are quick to dismiss reviews that mention GoH as if everyone who plays it is somehow review bombing this and that’s the only reason there are bad reviews.

Like c’mon, gamers are always going to compare with what’s already on the market and there’s little this does better than GoH and a hell of a lot more it does worse! And it’s more expensive. Not to mention this is reusing audio from Faces of war (2006 game btw) with some audio files even going back to Soldiers: Heroes of WW2 (2004 game btw) it’s just lazy.

It’s like the devs want you to forget GoH exists when reviewing this and to be honest I think they’ve just been given a reality check.

if there is vehicle HP then this is just not mow. I had it in my cart till i started reading reviews
