Just 1 point less than halo 4. What the fuck.

In general, I think the critics are a bit fed up with devs playing it safe. Both Halo and CoD have been praised with atleast one game (Halo 3 - 94, MW2 - 94) but with each game from there theyve begun to drop. Gears does the same but unlike CoD and Halo, hasnt been around for >3 games. Same applies to God of War. I bet Judgment & Ascension might not get 90 meta but chances are TLOU might knock it outta the park if done well. UC2s 96 is a true testiment of this also. Most people would say UC2 not only destroyed its predecessor, but it started something regarding the whole cinematic narrative setpiece stuff. It wasnt first, god no. But id argue it left a very strong impression. Even UC3, playing it "safer" just bigger, managed to grab a lovely 92. Critics want something fresh.

Journey is 2% in content compared to Blops 2 & Halo 4 -> yetvthat 2% is insanely valued by people and rightfully so: its something different.

Lbp 1 - 95 meta, different thing. Lbp 2 - 91, still feels fresh but not the same freshness as 4 years back.

MS with Halo, Gears and even Forza (which too declines by 1 point each game [not counting horizon its different])were bound to havecthis happen. I just didnt figure halo 4 to be that game.

New IPs, new things. Thats what keeps the industry moving. Unless you somehow improve UC1-UC2 style which really is rare. Halo 4 might be the best halo but combat evolved will forever have that first impression.

Big problem with that though. Is Dishonoured for example. That game disappointed me. And I like games like that. It was 7/10 at best. 

Reviews are becoming tedious to be onest. 

UC1 for me was better than 2. But yet 2 killed in scores. Visuals were better in 2, but 1 was muc more fun and had better gameplay.

Thats because you are rather biased.

Dishonored was new, you constantly claim "99% SAID HALO 4 IS BEST", most people claimed DIshonored to be pretty darn good.

99% find UC2 to be better than UC1. You are at a VAST minority. Yes the people are there, but believe me, vast minority. The reviews proove that.

Halo 4 having lower than Halo 3, is the counterpart. Im not saying your "taste is wrong" lol, im just saying the critics and majority of gamers usually go hand to hand. Think its time to accept that Meta and the critics are not a representation of your taste. Just look at the GOTYs 08-11. Only 360 exclusive game youll find there is Gears 2 at 5th place in 2008. During that year, youll find no 360 title or multiplatform title winning graphics of the year. So yeah, it might be hard to realise, but you've gotta wake up.

Wat? I said 95% of reviewers even the ones that gave it 8 still said its the best HALO game yet. That is right. A few didnt.

However Im in the minority of UC I know. 

Dishonoured took me less than 6 hours. Halo 4 took me longer and is a FPS. 

Dishonoured did disappoint me. I wont fall into the new is good category for the sake of it. Risen was a better game. 

Media have to many hidden agendas. 

Enjoyed Heavenly Sword more than Dishonoured for example. But look at that meta.
