Just catching up. Kyle's OT is probably the single best post in HaloGAF history. The MLG description's hilariously caustic, I loved it. Some top posts by Risen, Arnie and Juices in this thread too.
Now for the gaming side thread.

Saw that too. Probably going to avoid that playlist altogether.

Ehm yes. It is real. I thought it was a fake picture but... not sure what I should believe now.

Sacrilege. I'm more accepting of Ben's lame leftist tweets than I am of a statement like this.Ben Kuchera said:
http://penny-arcade.com/report/editorial-article/halo-4-this-isnt-bungies-halo-anymore-its-better
Is this American 'leftist' or actually left of centre?
How can you make a call on the campaign of Halo 4 compared to other Halos until you have played it anyway?
Wow nice, looking forward to this.All credit goes to tashi - i was more than happy to evacuate new jersey and change my dallas flightbut seriously, big shout to tashi for throwing it together, and i hope my channel brings in lots of views for his hard work.
hope everyone enjoyed, and I've literally got around 30 videos to choose from when uploading tomorrow -expect AT LEAST 2/3 a day for the next few days!
Anybody? the game is in front of me

You shouldn't even consider touching it until 9am November 6 AEST, when I too have the game.

haha, I'm still in the store, not at home
I think I will wait the few days, purchasing an extra copy is too expensive.
but after all I know now a store here that sells games early

Maybe what "the same old Halo" is just doesn't click with people in that brigade.
I'm in the "Why is it still the same" brigade for Assassin's Creed. I was hoping 3 would see some big changes to pull me in but it doesn't seem too big a jump from 2 which I found boring.

Tashi montage was great. I think it's a better promotion for the MP than anything else I've seen.
Also, fleshandfaith.com?

don't mock me, but yeah the last years gamestop gave me the games like on shipment day, but they got a warning and don't do this for quite a while.And I didn't even thought about small game stores lol.
Yeah it is my fault haha

The removal of campaign films is enough for me to rate Halo 4 lower than 3, ODST, and Reach--all of which had outstanding campaigns. Said another way, it is impossible for the campaign, as good as it may be, to overcome that omitted feature on the terms of how I would rate the game.
Whaaaaaaat? You're seriously rating a campaign lower because of a feature that doesn't affect campaign gameplay that's missing?
lol what? Because of this you can rate Theater in 4 lower as in the others, but not the campaign

I'm talking about rating the game overall.
Edited to clarify that.
And Theater isn't some standalone feature, it has a direct impact on the extent to which campaign can be enjoyed.

Heh heh.
I'm skeptical of the gushing reviews because I believe that Halo fans judge a Halo game a lot more critically than most journalists.

Holy hell, that was fucking awesome.
That is true.
I intend to note every bad thing in the campaign (and SpOps). So far it sounds good, but i'm sure it has bad things. Clearly unfair encounters (think insta-gib sniper alleys), very limited choices, weak weapons, plot holes, things like that will get to my list.
Dying on Heroic many times is not bad thing, even though reviewers try to convince us otherwise. Guess they'd like the hardest difficulty to be Normal. Seriously, like 5 of the reviews i read complained about dying on Heroic.

Same here. That, and really it'll take several months to see how the multiplayer evolves once the masses get their hands on it compared to the controlled playtests that have occurred so far.
I also tend to judge the games separately between their MP and Campaign modes. Halo 2 MP and Halo 2 Campaign don't belong in the same ranking category.

Even with a capture card, you still can't fly through the level like you could with theater. You'd only be watching from your own perspective, which quite frankly, isn't the same.

Massive props to everyone that worked on Tashi's video. The NeoGAF logo in particular was fantastic.
saw this from one of the more respected reviewers:
"....The game's soundtrack is also a letdown. The loss of Martin O'Donnell and Michael Salvatori, composers on the previous games, is quite apparent and profound. While those are certainly big shoes to fill, the new score lacks any of the punch and gravitas from the originals. There's something to be said about not repeating what's been done, but the music in Halo 4 is often just subtle ambiance, if it's even there at all. It simply doesn't have a Halo feel at all to be tearing through Covenant with your massive tank without some strong percussion driving the experience."I
haven't played the game, but I cant help but to agree with this feeling.

Haha, you discredited yourself and then still commented. Textbook internet.
It's like saying, "I've never tried this restaurant, but I agree with this newspaper review that the chicken is undercooked."

I would be the opposite. It's not Marty, but it's not meant to be. I like the soundtrack a lot, and think it has the necessary Forerunner feel. If it had "tearing through the Covenant" feel it wouldn't be right, as this is the reclaimer trilogy.
Would love to have some GAF folks on my friends list that are willing to help playtest maps of all kinds and that love customs in general. My friends list has space for now. So if anyone here fits said role I'd love to make friendsies with you.
Also I finally finished my large post for my H4 map and I'm about to drop the bomb on the Forge OT.
Add me bros! GT's same as my username.
Also, congrats to 343. Metacritic scores mean a lot more than they should in this business, and I'm glad to see Halo 4 got great reviews.

where is this tashi montage
Food is not a video game, you dont use your sense of taste with Video games so yeah, your Comparison doesn't really fly to know it, with music is different.
Defending that stuff like percussion in driving part wont be missed is just denial, so, you should stop trying to defend everything about this game, is just sad.

Great, lookin' forward to muting the Kings of Leon/dubstep shit he inevitably put on it
But Im not saying the soundtrack is bad, but, You cant deny that the absence of percussion during driving sections are going to feel weird.
Lol, I don't defend everything in the game. I do, however, defend what I've already played and enjoyed. You're literally making blind statements about something you even admitted you haven't touched!

How does it feel to be told you defend the game too much Fu?
I just need to play the thing. Only a few days left.
The same reviewer also said that it doesn't feel like Halo and seconds later complains that the gameplay is largely the same. Seems contradictionary.
Blind? I dont know about you, but I dont use my eyes to hear music.
My statement are based on Hearing the music of this current Soundtrack and knowing the previous installment Soundtrack, this doesn't have anything to do with the game, but everything to do with the music, music we already have heard, I already heard, and if you have played any other Halo aside from Halo Reach, then you should know what Im talking about.

Is that UK only? Just curious...
I wont call contradictory if they feel the gameplay is the same, but also feel the Soundtrack doesn't make the game feel like Halo, again, Music is different from what the game is.

Awesome montage Tashi, game looks great.
Yeah I understand you dont have anything to say to me, and go on on petty insults, typical internet forum response.
Clearly there is a language barrier here. Done.
