I got them free today as well.
Other games get bashed for doing the same thing over and over. The latest Assassin's Creed for example.
Too low. I hope they get banned from metacritic.
Ya, it is funny seeing all the Halo whiners in here. 6/10 is just below average and apparently totally unacceptable. But they aren't complaining about the perfect scores.
And who is to blame for that? The Xbox troll attacking the ps4 maybe?
Ya trading 1 console for 150 is much better than 2 for 200. Either keep 1 system or sell it on ebay/craigslist for 100+.
I don't understand the hate against Ubisoft because they released one buggy game. They've been making games for a long time, they can't get a break for one screw-up? Most of the Unity issues were fixed within a couple months anyway (at least on consoles). The game had virtually no issues when I picked it up for Christmas.
I agree they probably overdid it with the population density.
But the other things are a step back if true: less shadows, less character detail, less buildings you can go into
Taking a step backwards in graphics is pretty much unheard of for a series. Why couldn't they learn from their mistakes and fix the issues without sacrificing things.
X1 was $50 cheaper January through September this year. PS4 won every month in the US except April. X1 got smashed worldwide every month since release.
So, please explain the momentum thing to us?
I'm dumbfounded by some of the things in the article. Microsoft didn't think Halo would last very long? The biggest and most successful franchise they had. Bigger than any Sony franchise. The best game in its genre on any system. Why would they have thought that?
Fox is right. That is why they even have different names, clone troopers and stormtroopers.
I harp on the reviewers because they lack consistency.
He may have explained his complaints, but I don't think his complaints were worth a 50% reduction in score.
The first complaint they logged was how it felt ancient like Black Flag? Not sure what that even means. I guess he expected it to be some huge leap because next gen systems were out. Black Flag was one of the best of the series (second only to AC2 in reviews) and was quite different than the rest of the series.
He really had a whole button on the...
57% isn't exactly "always"
They have a 10 year deal with Activision. Doesn't mean it is just 1 game.
We still don't know what the original story was or what was in the 2 hour video. It could have been bad. Maybe they made it worse though or just didn't have enough time to finish it.
Maybe had the stuck with the original plan, it would have been even worse.
Maybe if they delayed it another year, it would have been better from the start.
Instead they had to half-ass it due to their agreement with Activision.
We don't really know. ...
The pretty much merged into "Activision Blizzard".
The article isn't exactly wrong when it says Activision Blizzard released the game.
Not just an Xbox one thing. Sony included digital for the Last of Us bundle and also the Uncharted bundle.
I think the Madden bundle for both systems always had digital downloads.
Record engagement? Greenturd throwing out terms with no meaning.
