Destiny had story and content issues
Because you don't judge the quality of a website's content just based on its name. This is video games we are talking about after all...if there is any media for which unprofessional sounding websites can still be relevant then it's this.You know this has been bugging me for awhile, I don't quite understand why in review threads yall include reviews by sites that sound unprofessional by their name alone and give everything 9+ scores. Everyone gets hyped and then bigger websites come in and the scores are lower.
oh boyI just want my copy to unlock at 12.01 like it's meant to.
2 minutes to go!!!!!

The problem I had with the story, apart from the theme and the characters they use to tell this story, was that it finishes when you think it's getting started. The last level for instance, didn't feel anything like a climax...and for that reason it felt very anti climatic.
I like gametrailers but their mainstream relevance fell off the map years ago. No way are they one of the biggest sites.Because you don't judge the quality of a website's content just based on its name.

I mean one of the the biggest websites is just called Gametrailers.

There is also sites that give a good write up and then throw a 7.5 out there. All websites have different criteria and different review scales. Read the damn reviews. The numbers are not a precise measure by any means on the quality of a game. It can only give you an idea.You know this has been bugging me for awhile, I don't quite understand why in review threads yall include reviews by sites that sound unprofessional by their name alone and give everything 9+ scores.

What about the two reviews that are in Italian and the one whose language is unknown in the opThere is also sites that give a good write up and then throw a 7.5 out there.

Never forget.
Yea but 343 already said that this isn't a trilogy anymore. They also said Halo 5 is going to be a self contained story...but we end uo getting stuff like that (what I described) and reliance on extended universe.And I think it works sometimes for trilogy stories. Empire Strikes back, your hoping for some huge battle, Vader comes in destroying, drops truth bomb, and then leaves you hanging. It's not a bad thing and the reveal of what I'd happening in the story on Halo 5 was the biggest "climax" moment persay.

I mean one of the the biggest websites is just called Gametrailers and another is called Giantbomb.
Because you think they aren't relevant doesn't mean they aren't big though.I like gametrailers but their mainstream relevance fell off the map years ago. No way are they one of the biggest sites.
Get an Italian friend? Or just read reviews in your own language. Everybody and their mom are a games journalist these days. Plenty of reviews to read.What about the two reviews that are in Italian and the one whose language is unknown in the op
Yea true I agree with that bit.The name thing didn't carry much weight in my post. It's more like I've written for a small site, and I've seen how for most writers at that level it's easy to give incredible scores to all games, especially when they are Halo and especially if they are provided by the publisher (no idea if that happened here).
Have you played through the campaign already? If not, I would recommend playing through that while you wait for the multiplayer to unlock.
You'll like it, it's a good game and plays great. Don't worry just worry about that American food !Giantbomb was one of the few I read and gave me an idea of what to expect. I will play the game expecting nothing. At least I wont be disappointed.
If you focus mainly on the Arbiter's story arc, it's pretty darn great. Even the ending comes at an appropriate time for that character. Not so much if you're in it for Ol' Johnny.It has great world building, but the actual overarching story is a bit of a mess.
Holy fuck instead of unlocking my game decides it needs to reinstall itself. What the fuck
Are we taking the mature respect to disregarding bad or low reviews because it's halo? Could we try doing this for all review threads going forward?
No, because their main driver back in the day was trailers, which is all youtube territory now. Combine that with the semi recent layoffs of a large part of their staff, defy media acquisition and it being run by a small crew and you can see why it's not on eof the biggest sites out there.Because you think they aren't relevant doesn't mean they aren't big though.
Yep. It got stuck on the 100% updating then started back at 0. 3% now.Did you check to make sure you had the full 54 gigs?
I have read every single review and the folks amplifying that idea are not representative of all the reviews. I suggest you pick a few at random and not get involved in forum selection bias. This happens in every review thread. Not just Halo.
Someone finds an negative aspect or element that confirms what they suspected about the game and repeats it for pages and pages. There's probably a word for it, or a psychology paper waiting to be written.
So again, pick some reviews at random and see what consensus you find.

343 you know what has to be done
I'm actually ecstatic about the review scores. I was answering a question. If I was "coping" sending him to read reviews for himself wouldn't really help me with my existential distress.
It's up for folks who have the LEs or enabled versions. I believe you can't see the whole thing unless you're logged in with an account connected to that purchase. It's not free.

YES, i was about to say that, as someone who waits three years to play the story in halo, this is disappointing... 343 pay joe staten what he wants, if he wants a plane get him a new plane, cause we need him writing stories for halo again, especially since were going back to the ring world in h6
Nah im not. Sorted it out. Had the preorder on ssd but I swapped default install to internal so it flipped out. I can play now.That's very strange.
Are you on the NXOE?
If so, I'd recommend you file a bug report and post on the offical forums.
