Wow actually doing slightly better than I thought. I got worried some would review it harshly but a 91 for a FPS this late in the generation is incredible. Probably will get GOTY from most sources, but not all. Im guessing it will end up closest to universal GOTY. That or Mass Effect 3.

And Slimbeast you sound rediculous. Its not like the IGN review is even out of place or the highest. Theres multiple websites and publications that gave Halo 4 a strait 10. But then again your just blindly hating on a game youve never played so Im just wasting my time

9.8 out of 10.0 is a much stronger statement than 10/10.

Why do you accuse me of "blindly hating"? Where did I hate Halo?

Btw. you yourself have admitted that the inflated GTA4 scores back in 2008 were outrageous.

You have been hating on Microsoft products and games pretty much since you got your PS3. Your a very different person to who you were on here when you first arrived. I used to ride into battle with you back when VGC had alot more Xbox fans here. Now your like Slimebeasts darkside twin. That killed off the legendary Jedi Slimebeast.

Sometimes I feel very guilty about my betrayal, but I just couldn't take the heat anymore.

Man, it's much easier to be on the winning side.

Last place = winning

I love PS fan mindsets! :)

Yeah Slimebeast you are going to far now and it hardly make any sense anymore.  Supported you when MS was lacking in software and reasons to stay on my X360 but the last months they are doing better (Happy wars, Forza Horizon, New awesome dashboard update, etc).  Honestly I just believe that you hate Halo 4 getting good reviews and have the possibility to be GOTY on sites.    Yeah people don't like the GTAIV scores but that was after they played the game.  When I saw the reviews of GTA IV I got the game pretty fast but end up dissapointing and so far (except for firefight) I see no reason why Halo 4 would be the same.

I'm sad that I lost your support.

I'm not hating on Halo 4. I want the game, I honestly think it looks great. Really great. It was only that 9.8 review by IGN I wanted to address, which has nothing to do with Halo in principle. It was a spontaneous thing to do it in this thread, but you could see from that post that I've been thinking seriously about this issue.

So lemme get this straight....you bought a PS3...have always been a big Xbox supporter and suddenly due to owning PS3 as well you went from being enjoyable to see in discussions and normally unbiased to turning into an irritating Sony fanboy.  It`s one thing to be a fan of a certain 1st Party more and a certain console more but it is a whole different ball game when you stop being rational.

What`s wrong with the 9.8 score? I saw the review and he came away much more satisfied and impressed than he even expected. I follow Ryan McCaffrey`s podcast on IGN and WAY back to OXM podcast and trust me he is a Halo fan but was also cautiously optimistic about this game and unsure whether 343 would be able to take up the huge challenge. Believe it or not some people may feel a game is worthy of a 9.8. The game itself is getting raving reviews all across the board anyways so it`s not like his is completely random. His opinion seems pretty universal for the most part.

Anyways...welcome to the multi-system owner club like myself...just don`t turn into a thorn that won`t get off my pant legging. I haven`t been posting here for quite some time but seeing you go all Sony troll mode is very disappointing coming from one of the users I typically respected and agreed with on many subjects whether I posted in the thread or not.
