Well said Dead.
Good post. AW deserved more, both from MS and from consumers.
Psh... Metroid Prime was an amazing, great boss battle!
Too tough? What pansies. Journalists should all have to be REAL gamers.
It won't have the mass market penetration of Halo.
Then they'll make Halo 4.
Yeah. Your right. But since this is being discussed in a Halo article, people will think I'm bashing Halo or Bungie or something, when I'm not.
Edge and Eurogamer are two publications that just never cease to amaze me with their hypocrisy. They are very selective on which well polished (but non-innovative) sequels they choose to make "examples" of.
Personally, no.
But it seems reviewers like to bag on games without it.
It's Edge... smart writing doesn't equal journalistic integrity though.
Biased? No. Inconsistent and hypocritical? Yes.
(And that's not a knock on Halo, or Bungie)
No sarcasm intended, but won't you miss the appeal of the crazy 900 button controller at all?
"What I'm saying is as long as the PS3 fans agree with the PS3 games getting low scores, then I don't mind Halo getting a 7. "
It's possible to agree with one review and not another. They're just one person's OPINION after all. You shouldn't "mind" at all, because someone else's opinion of a title you enjoy shouldn't bother you.
Frankly, I disagree with all their reviews. I'm also not stupid enough to w...
You mean they were right on the money for MGS4 and Heavy Rain, telling the "truth," but now they're totally biased for scoring Halo Reach lower than the rest?
Round and round it goes, pointing fingers at both sides. It's just a fake number. Stop giving it so much damn power.
SE has become quite the joke. Pity.
LOL. Metascore. The shepherd of those who can't think for themselves.
Um... ONE level was in the swamps with a native tribe. The range of locations and enemy types was quite varied actually.
Should I start bitching about how the white hero is portrayed as a juiced up meathead now? People who WANT to see color are the only ones who give a shit about this.
"Japanese developers have received heat in the past for their portrayal of blacks in Resident Evil 5"
...yeah, because they put black people in a game set in Africa. How dare they!
Seriously, I can't believe people are still playing the racism card on this one. It's absurd. I've replayed that game at least 10 times... not ONCE did I stop to think "Oh, I'm killing black people!" I was too busy killing freaking zombies and an...
8 million unit lead in the US for the 360.
Yet just 100k unit lead for Madden first month?
Yup, clearly Ps3 games don't sell. /s
This was a great experience. Glad I bought it.
First off, I'm not BASHING anything. I love ME2, I love UC2, and I think Bungie deserves their success with Halo as they're a great dev team. I'm just amazed that CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED and amazing titles can't see this same level of success after all the hard work that goes into them.
It's just odd to me, no fanboyism, detracting from Halo, UC2, or ME2 intended. Chill.
Why can't gamers support other amazing titles like this (UC2, ME2, I'm looking at you guys!) as well?
DEVS will stop putting so much weight into it when CONSUMERS stop listening to arbitrary scores. They only care because for some reason WE all care... and we really, really shouldn't.
Sessler was right.
