Yeah remember me saying this game was going to flop both score and and sells wise? Not so outrageous anymore huh?


You predicted a score of 76-82, which...is not a flop


Considering the way people were hyping this game up all year long yes I see this as a flop on both sides. People were predicting this to be a multi-million seller, and honestly unless this game get's bundled itll be lucky to reach 1 million.  Im not sure what the metacritic for it is atm, around a 78 which is not a big flop but for the expectations that people had it is a bit low.  I'm not saying it is a bad game because I know people are enjoying it on here but I have stood behind my prediction since the beta. 



As for scores, most people expected low 80s or even lower. Scores are a bit low, but not enough to say the scores have flopped. It's as much of a flop as Halo 4 is.


I dont know why you are following this path of debate when you dont agree with the initial view, its pointless.

The fact is it got a review in the mid 76 and Halo 4 got 87.  Relative score to previous iterations mean nothing.  In the context of the current reviews climate Halo 4 is clearly quite a bit the better game from a critical perspective and in a different universe for a sales perspective. 

Cut the ridiculous comparison, stop playing games and semantics with other peoples posts and say what you personally think about the sales and critical reception of the game. 

Wasn't the expectation for Halo 4 a 93 and it got an 87? 6 points less,

All Stars expectations was an 82 and it got 76? 6 points less. 

Obviously Halo 4 got a better score (durp) but they are arguing as to what is considered a flop in terms of the games meta expectation and final meta score.
