guess what? Halo 4 is not that good. Fact! - Page 2  

post #11 of 47
GPA means something. You worked your ass off for every decimal in that number, but scores mean nothing. I can write a blog right now, and be considered a review. Some reviews are stupid. Asking for aiming down the sight in Halo is retarded. Consider this.

If you really want someone to tell you what game to pick, and what game to pass you obviously have something with you. I love most games that got 70.

One more thing you need to take. Most reviews talk about the Campaign part of the game. Where multiplayer was always Halo. These mediocre gamers will never know what makes a good multiplayer game. Trust on this one, this game feels like Halo 2. The game plays better than it looks.

Well dishonored and AC3 are both amazing games. If you consider those mediocre in comparison, you're greatly mistaken and sorely missing out.

Nothing lost really though. I'll play these fantastic games and you won't. Have fun waiting for contrived rating systems to give you a number. No one source is an end-all be-all for game reviews.

Based on 63 critic reviews on http://www.metacritic.com/game/xbox-360/halo-4/critic-reviews every site that reviewed it under 90, is not to be taken seriously. There is even a review from quarter to three with a score of 20.

I like how even one of the user reviews that gave the game a zero even said the game doesn't deserve a zero. kookoo.gif

People who judge and use these rating system to make a judgement before experiencing the item in question are just plain idol. (stupid) (sheep)


Buy/rent the game if you like the look of it and judge it yourself.

Have your own mind, it isn't difficult.

yep, because it is practical for a average person with full time job to go out, buy or rent every all the games released to make a judgement on which game he might like and return the ones he doesn't. Very practical.

You don't have to buy or rent every game to do 10 minutes of research on a game that will tell you way more about it than some contrived, made-up number will. Gathering scores from various sources is a good starting point, but it definitely shouldn't be your compass.

Video reviews from reliable sources (heavy emphasis on "reliable sources") and actual user opinions are miles more useful than what most of the popular "gaming" sites spew forth.

In case you aren't aware, the gaming industry has most of the mainstream reviewers and personalities by the gonads. They're bedfellows. You can't trust people to give you an unbiased opinion when they're given incentives or straight up being paid for a high score.

This isn't some nutjob conspiracy theory either. It's verified by many sources within the industry.

I never said buy every game.


I said the ones you like the look of e.g. I'm a rugby fan therefore I will take a look at Rugby League live 2.


Don't take somebodies word for gospel just because they post a review on a website on the internet.

Oh my would you look at these scores;

Destructoid - 10
MondoXbox - 10
NZGamer - 10
Joystiq - 5/5 Stars
IGN - 9.8
Polygon- 9.5
OXM - 9.5
Game Informer - 9.3
Gamespot - 9
Halo Council - 9
Eurogamer Italy - 9
MMGN.com - 9
Gamer.No - 9
GamesBeat - 9
G4TV - 4.5/5 Stars
Kotaku - Play This Game
Penny Arcade - "This isnt Bungies Halo anymore its better"

Every single out of/10 score scored it above 9.
