War for Cybertron

Yes.

pretty much covers my feelings on it so far. I would complain a bit that the vehicle controls are a bit loose.. but thats just me looking for something to complain about.

Graphics: stellar
Story: pretty damn good
replay value: well you get two campaigns plus a ton of multiplayer. So I would have to say Yes

honestly my biggest complaint is the lack of manual. You have to access tutorials on xbox live.. which means I actually have to set up an xbox live account for more than just unlocking Shockwave (damn you Best Buy for ALMOST convincing me to just ignore my preoder from gamestop and getting Jazz instead).

Overall, satisfied so far.

Just finished first Decepticon Chapter.

both Autobot and Decepticon stories are pretty damn good so far.

Ironhide= badass

I fairly certain i came twice opening the wrapping.

A-freaking-mazing.

Once you get past the 10min load/install that is.

play as sideswipe as soon as you get the chance. he has the best control so far.

plus he REALLY reminds me of Gen2 sideswipe

We need to have a big ass online transformers war.

Post by **Best First** » Wed Jun 23, 2010 6:49 pm

We surely do sir.

Megatron: Dont get smashed by the trains.
Breakdown: Thats a joke right?
Megatron: Yes breakdown.. I am well known for my sparkling sense of humor.

Love the humor and the references to the original movie..

Also love the sheer scale of a normal transformer standing inn front of Omega Supreme.

Just beat both campaigns. Omg was that rad. Loved the Kaon level, so much win and all the cartoon/comic/movie quotes, made my year. And the aerial levels, legit.

Sideswipe and Soundwave are by far my favorites, Prime is really only good for his buff, other than that....meh. Ironhide is cool, but the melee takes foooorever to hit it seems. If you got Jazz, he kinda sucks, but im fairly certain his transformation is the same as his original toy.

So far, I love it. Escalation is fun as long as you dont have guys who get killed every wave...

Oh, if anyone has a PS3. Hit me up. whosyourpaddy42 (include your board name, dont need creepers).

Optimus Prime Rib · Post by **Optimus Prime Rib** » Thu Jun 24, 2010 5:27 am

my Xbox isnt recognizing my internet connection so I cant activate soundwave yet.

I just beat decepticon campaign. almost through with autobot. I decided to get some sleep. and not finish the game in one sitting. one admittedly LONG sitting, but 1 sitting none the less.

Breakdown is pretty fun, but Sideswipe is still my favorite.

I'd be up for that, despite previously saying I wasn't- getting my ass kicked by you guys sounds like fun.

I've got a 360. What is everyone playing on?

Post by **Best First** » Thu Jun 24, 2010 6:39 am

I am on 360.

Gamertag is Duggertron. Like Ironhide says let me know who you really are.

Not got the game yet mind...

All these exclusive characters - presumably the codes are shareable right?

Optimus Prime Rib · Post by **Optimus Prime Rib** » Thu Jun 24, 2010 2:19 pm

not sure. I know mine was with my receipt. But like I said, I cant even get my xbox to recognize when it has a cable plugged into it directly from my modem. So I dont know when I would be getting on.

I'm up for some gameage - gamertag is Doggybot

Really enjoying the single player so far!

Maybe it isn't just your system- the BF (boyfriend, not Best First

) was having problems yesterday, and now I'm having problems today.

Or they could just be seperate incidents, who knows? I personally think the CIA is watching all of us. Time to start making tinfoil hats.

Post by **Best First** » Fri Jun 25, 2010 10:47 am

I'm about 2/3rds through the Decep campagin.

My only bug bear so far is there is not enough frigging ammo which really undermine's some sections.

The character interplay/chat is great.

I felt a bit bad offing a Prime mind.

Love the online Multiplayer.

Not played Escalation yet.

Brendocon · Post by **Brendocon** » Fri Jun 25, 2010 1:03 pm

Just ordered it from Play.

For my PS3. Which means you lovely (ha) people (ha!) won't have the pleasure of playing online with me. You all suck.

I also just bought FM2010, so it's possible I may never see sunlight again.

saysadie · Post by **saysadie** » Fri Jun 25, 2010 8:42 pm

We've only managed to play the Decepticon mission in player co-op mode for a couple of hours. And I haven't played at all in the past two days.

IronHide · Post by **IronHide** » Fri Jun 25, 2010 8:45 pm

PS3 is where its at Brend. Hit me up when you're on.

Been playing the piss out of Escalation, had a good group that kept getting to the level 12-14 range, but getting owned before 15 (damn trophy).

Exclusive characters are, unfortunately, not sharable. The code is only good once and only for one profile. Have Jazz but really wanted Soundwave. Apparently Longhaul is available??? Dunno how, guess I'll have to buy em.....yay.

Multiplayer is fun, but like Besters said, the infuriatingly small amount of ammo you get takes its toll. Plus there are some really awful people I manage to get stuck with...

Post by **Best First** » Fri Jun 25, 2010 9:56 pm

Just played Kaon - incredible.

Optimus Prime Rib · Post by **Optimus Prime Rib** » Sat Jun 26, 2010 3:46 am

conversation between Air Raid and Silverbolt is now my favorite all time transformers dialogue

Bah-weep-Graaanagh weep nini bong?

Some of the references in the game are great.

This is the TF game I've been waiting for for two and a half decades.

It rocks like Stan Bush.

funny you should say that... beat the game and read the credits

Post by **Best First** » Mon Jun 28, 2010 9:49 am

i don't often, in fact i may never have said this about anything but;

The credits were awesome!

saysadie · Post by **saysadie** » Mon Jun 28, 2010 6:36 pm

If I don't start playing this game again pretty soon I will no longer be able to read this topic. I guess I know what I'm doing tonight.

[edit] I finally added people. BF, Hound, the unknown brown person with glasses and pigtails is me. I couldn't figure out how to change the text of my message, and I didn't know how to unmute the headphones so I couldn't send a voice message.

Optimus Prime Rib · Post by **Optimus Prime Rib** » Tue Jun 29, 2010 6:21 am

argh stupid XBOX recognize that you have a cable hooked up to you so I can get online!

Decepticon · Post by **Decepticon** » Wed Jun 30, 2010 6:18 pm

Really enjoyed the game. The lack of ammo is an issue. A buddy of mine was like, "This is like playing Resident Evil 2." That's the best way to describe hard mode when you're out of ammo.

Omega Supreme battle was hard, but not frustrating. The Trypticon fight on the other hand is very frustrating, and annoying.

I also like how the 'Con campaign is a straight forward war, and the 'Bot campaign is more like an adventure. I think the direction in this game is a great starting point, and gives us a lot to hope for. I think this game sets a great standard for the future of G1 inspired things. I mean, Soundwave launching his cassettes was a highlight.

If anyone wants to play regular sets of multi, and is in the United States, you can add [my gamertag] "Aore" Also if you could include a short message, so I know who you are.
