You all remember shortly after the Disasterous Darkfall Online Launch it was more bad news as EuroGamer gave a 2/10 review which caused an uproar.
Well it appears that something very similar has happened with the massively multiplayer first person shooter Global Agenda and Hi-Rez and the Global Agenda community is pissed off.
Make sure to check out the below new high definition gameplay video and walkthrough video.
Justin Calvert from GameSpot responded to a Global Agenda MMO review getting 5.5 out of 10 from one of their reviewers. The review was then pulled because Global Agenda fans (and Hi-Rez Studios) complained that only 6 hours of game time were logged during the review. Before it was pulled it said: “Global Agenda tries to be both a regular multiplayer shooter and a massively multiplayer online game but isn’t very good at either.”
Complaints include that the Conquest subscriber only feature was not reviewed. It seems like it wasn’t available. Now who’s fault is that? The worst part is that a new review won’t be out for weeks. He said: “On behalf of GameSpot, I’d like to apologize to Hi-Rez Studios. We’ll work to get a replacement review of Global Agenda posted in the not too distant future.”
But guess what? EuroGamer already gave Global Agenda a 6/10 also saying “….the moment your 20 minutes of tutorials are over, so is the story. The plot abruptly fades away like a pop song, which is handy since if it hung around any longer it might have to explain all those tedious, nit-picky details…”
Meta Critic now has a 6.8 out of 10 for Global Agenda based on 5 reviews.
