The Halo 3 Thread of Review Scores
- Thread starter Tieno
- Start date
Three norwegian newspapers has also reviewed this game (the three biggest ones), its been given 4 out of 6 and two 5 out of 6, all three complained about the sp game. That it feels outdated compared to Gears and Bioshock. And if it was not for the superb mp, the scores would have been much lower.
I'm dissapointed... I wanted this game to get a 8.5 or 8 from Gamespot just to see the uprising and shitstorm. Ah well, there are loads of other games coming this year to fill the void. 9.5 seems the right score for this game.
Gamespot Mass Effect Review: 7/10, Gamespot Nights Review: 4/10 etc.

good scores
I was actually expecting this to get all 10s from every site, you know, just because.

looks to repeat what happened to Bioshock... hover around 4-5 on game rankings for about a week, the suddenly drop to 10-12 out of nowhere once the strange reviews start trickling in...

What about all the multi-player aspects that are tied to the single player? I don't think the two are really seperable. The idea is fucking retarded, face it.AltogetherAndrews said:

unless you don't have online? it's where I'd look if I didn't have a subscription to Live.
for example, I have a freinds who refuses to get on Live despite me continually telling him it's the best thing since the internet.

Thankfully Halo fans won't be around to defend the game; we'll all be playing the game.watership said:Nah, they haven't even started yet. Notice the "Bioshock wasn't the masterpiece everyone said it was" threads creeping around? Wait a month

Really? I think both series have established their own unique styles quite well. I'd never mistake a Halo vehicle for a UT vehicle or vice versa, they're too distinctive. (Now, I might mistake some Halo vehicles for Aliens vehicles, but that is another story...)
Forget that it's a game, for a minute. It doesn't make sense to review only fraction of a product, in general and then slap a score on it. And there's four-player splitscreen for MP, as well, so the issue with online access does not apply. Having seperate sections of the review for each makes sense. It sounds like Ars just didn't have the time they wanted to review the whole game, which is what Eurogamer's reason was, but wanted a review up asap. It's a disservice to those who want the big picture.VultureDude said:
I objected to this methodology for Gears, and in that case, I thought Eurogamer over-rated the MP side, so it really is the principle of the thing that bugs me, not the score.

IMO 10/10 doesn't mean no faults, but rather the top tier of gaming.

Is IGN's video review safe to watch, or does it have spoilers?
i was writing this for the quartertothree review, but that thread got closed, maybe because it was TOO EDGY FOR GAF
it's an endemic problem.
at one point, JJ and (the late-ish) Alex S. had to put things together that would keep their self-publishing business going, every other day being kind of a sanford and sons-esque big one, as all their compatriots slowed and crumbled like time lapse fruit flies. post-buyout, it's really just been JJ and millions of dollars indulging his pulpy sci-fi auteur fantasies. meanwhile, above him the xbox leadership team is pushing their corporate deadlines (recall that "deadline" was previously absent from the bungie corporate lexicon, and a byline of their buyout contract was (seriously!) that release deadlines would not be imposed), and below him you've got fat, opportunistic yes-men like the disembodied 40 gallon drum that is Jamie G's fat head, and others who have been similarly spoiled by being social kings of the hill at the most feudal software company in the world.
the old school bungie team was capable of some pretty amazing things when given the appropriate motivation. for a time, halo was the most promising strategy game in production, and looked likely to be groundbreaking in ways that still haven't been introduced to this day in its absence.
and now, what do we get? marathon 5 with marty's million dollar cinematics. great.

very well put

Either way, good review scores are encouraging no matter how you look at them.

They'll be buried under the four year long onslaught of posts linking to Saved Films and Forge Content. Seriously, it's only going to get worse for haters. This is the tip of the icefloe of shit they're missing out on.
IT HAS NOT EVEN BEGUN TO START.
