Joy should be infectious. Not mocked.
Reading the review it seems rather obvious that this isn't a matter of corruption, it's a matter of immaturity and gullibility. It's not the amount of money spent on the project, it's in what proportions it has been transformed into marketing and production values or hybrids thereof.

Oh I see the problem. Your brain converts praise into hyperbole.
Did you even read the review?
Here's my review of the reviewers' review of Halo 4
Critical thinking:
Analytical skills:
Willingness to bend over for a publisher:
All in all, I give this review of the reviewers' review of Halo 4: Five Pizza-Huts out of Fifteen DoritoDews.
Official seal of quality:
Best post?

It is a 8 game for eurogamer. You can read the review, not just look for a number. And there are 10 an 9 too.

Reviews make it sound good but as usual the final verdict will be from me.
Hopefully i can get to play it soon.

Halo review thread. People discuss the reviews.

It hit our shore like a crunchy wave of diabetes. It was smart of them to release it as a video review because the people gullible enough to believe what they're saying aren't the kind of people who like to read.
Case. Point.
books are boring by comparison and do not get your adrenaline pumping nearly as a game does and movies do more so but again not the same experience. That said I have seen plenty of excited high praise movie reviews by some very good critics/writers

It's actually a 9.8 game. No wait, it's a 9.5 game. Nope, it's a 10/10 game. Oops, I meant 4/5.

I know what you mean, it isn't actually out yet. But the reviews seem to say, "its good old Halo, with better graphics and more guns."
I'm sold.
The whole journalism sucks they have been paid bullshit is reserved for the other topic. Fuck the noise, nothing about Halo 4 is being discussed here but numbers and money.

I can't believe that there are people that want a bad game in Halo 4...
Why?
Why?
Who are these people that want a bad game? Come on.
This is unfortunately not a very good post and it is filled with bad arguments with counter-intuitive assumptions about what it means to be a "critic".
Condescending? I thought I was motivating by pointing out possible ways to improve game reviews? Sorry if I come across as rude, but the "9.5/10" phenomenon is so awful and embarrassing.

What's the point of the scale then?
Posted in the community thread but posted here too:
Woke up in the middle of the night. Saw IGN's review and got extremely excited!
I'm tired again but I found this little gem because I haven't seen it linked. Be sure to subscribe, RT, whatever because I know for fact that Tashi worked for HOURS on it and that Bravo did too since he was in the middle of the storm this week and lost power, etc.

Maybe because the battlefields were made smaller?
Graphics>Gameplay, according to CVG review.

Taking down TWO Scarabs...not to mention escaping a massive collapsing ring on 4 ghosts coop as a finale? Epic.

owned.
7-8 is not a bad score, if you consider that it's actually a 10 scale. Regardless, that's not people wanting a bad game, but actually wanting to see the reaction of people if the game does not affirm their hyped AAA expectations.
So what is the point of saying the score is out of 10 if it really isn't?

I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
That second quote doesn't seem like it would be serious.

The music made me turn it off. Why mask the amazing sounds of the guns?
It is. It's from a guy earlier tonight that claims to have played it all the way through. Pirated version, obviously.

You know what's really cool? 343 have successfully developed a Halo game 
What????
The scale us 0-10
If the one who has actually, you know, played the friggin game and is paid to choose a number that represents his opinion within that scale thinks it is 9.5/10....why the fuck would he NOT give it that score?
Some of you people make no sense. Im sensing bitter tears here really

For what other reason would you want a bad score for any game?

Wishing a score just for "see reaction" is very childish.

Wat.
Awe, he fixed the typos.
Anyway, no issue with a 0-10, if the numbers are there, use them. You shouldn't be suspicious of the number given to a game, you should be suspicious if the score doesn't match what the reviewer writes or says in a video review.
Yeah, you know, they read like books. It makes no sense and it's boring.
Posters with Halo avatars have no problems with IGN's ad. Shocking.
I do not give a damn about what the reviews are focusing on. All I want to know is if the level design is on par with Bungie's games? That E3 demo was pathetic.
Has to be a joke post.

Something that may please you.
For the first time a mainstream Halo game may go below 90 on metacritic. AC3 got panned a bit as well. Future blockbusters may also be more harshly judged then the past. That being said a lot of people may review it objectively and still feel its a 9.5 game. Not sure why you are so against that.

An honest reflection of the opinions of someone who gets paid to judge video-games based on merit?
Just kidding.
True
"by comparison".
you must admit games create a greater sense of excitement when things occur, (you are invested in the experience, financially, aurally, visually) leading to that feeling being conveyed in a similarly excited manner when explaining it to others.
