MAG is meant to be a team game. If you have idiots on your team you wont like it. In the beta I played with a lot of good teamworkers so...

My roommate got MAG as soon as it came out so I've been playing it a lot lately. It just feels like its not the game that it was supposed to be (all the hype made it seem like it would be the biggest thing coming for Sony since God of War but it got very modest reviews so far). It's just seems like a generic-style multiplayer shooter and the multiplayer support isn't even implemented that well to really compete with some of similar (while less massive) fare on the xbox. Sure there is potential in it, but as it is right now all of the major reviews pretty much agree. Haven't played Dante's Inferno but Metacritic has never been wrong for me before (and it already has quite a lot of reviews (from major sites) in the yellow, hence mediocre). Mind you, a mediocre game for me is still an average but probably fun game worth playing so I'm not saying those two are bad games. Hell I "wasted" enough time playing MAG so far :D. And will probably be renting Dante's Inferno soon.
I don't believe you. I think you are judging them on knee-jerk reactions based on shit you've read. Just a feeling I've got.

Well I haven't played Dante's Inferno yet. But I did play MAG and overall I wasn't very impressed but I agree with Subjective Effect that your experiences in that game are totally based on how good your team-mates are. And seeing how people are only starting to get into this game, I think that its only bound to improve so maybe I'll get back into it in a month or so and then make a better, less gut-based judgment.

I got to the Greed level of this Kratos' Inferno, around the half way me thinks, and I expect the game to turn utter rubbish or all the reviews are wrong. 8/10 so far, combat is way too button mashy, can spam crosses and win since they don't even take up magic reserves.
