Hillary, say it ain't so!!! Bah, whatever, just a lousy review. I'll have mine by Wednesday at the latest.

And, gamesradar's review is up, too.

Looks like the reviews could be all over the place for Conker.

From not fun to genius. That's a pretty wide range. Oh well, Hilary's always been kind of a tool anyway.

Tnx, checking it out.

Well this looks a little promising anyway.

From IGN:
There are just too many frustrating aspects to Conker that hold the multiplayer back. It's often impossible to tell when a hit registers and sometimes attacks are completely meaningless anyway. Even right out of the gate a sniper needs to be able to kill with headshots -- that's just a given for any game. Not in Conker. For fun, I took some direct headshots at standing targets and it would take two, three once even four bullets to kill the person. Conversely, any a$$hole with a bazooka can kill indiscriminately with shots that merely get close to the target. I can't possibly express the frustrations of trying to play with other classes only to see myself and others continually smoked by bazookas.

If you press L with the sniper rifle equipped, you change your types of bullets... one of them is highly effective against Tediz/SHCs, the other type is effective against vehicles.

What you did was use the wrong type.. if you just used the 7.62mm, it wouldve always been a 1 hit kill to the head. (unless you hit the helmet)

Looks as if someone was giving BS information in their review...

Nice find, Duke. Heard that Hilary had his/her head up his/her ass about he ammo. And to think that these people get paid to do these reviews. What a dumb fappity-fap.

Here's a rare photo taken of Goldstein:

:D

Anyhow, anybody else like the bit about weapon selection? I see nothing wrong w/ it taking some time to change your weapons, honestly. It just adds to the realism.

I think perhaps both reviews (the IGN and the Gamesradar one) have valid points of contention, and it truly seems like Live and Reloaded's modes (sp and multi) are geared toward different types of players. The Reloaded for those w/o XBL, and Live for those w/ (duh). I think IGN is wack half the time, anyhow. I just like them for their vids and screenshots, anyhow. Worthplaying.com's reviews, while notoriously slow to come to press, are generally reflective of my gaming tastes.

I never played Bad Fur Day, I'm getting this even if it got a 5. I want to know what I missed.

[Variation]

Ragardless of the scores, it's worth it for the humor.

[lllusion]

this game gets boring after a while.. Like the demo... its good for a spurt of play.

[MethodD]

IGN simply has a bias for fuzzy characters with guns. The guy probably just got mad cuz he kept getting pwned in multiplayer.

It's about time snipers start getting their asses kicked.

A good sniper doesn't get his ass kicked. :)

Not doing too shabby, actually.
