What I don't like about people using Metacritic for both arguments and game purchasing decisions is that Metacritic, for most people, has no context. A few bad reviewers can drag a games score down even if the game really is spectacular. Most people just look at the combined score and it's far too difficult to wade through all the reviews and disregard the trash ones. Metacritic is just too flawed to be taken seriously. Halo 4 is the best Halo game yet it has one of the lowest scores in the series. That is preposterous.


I heard people (Giant Bomb) say the story wasn't as good.

 

But in the end, HALO 4 has an 87 score......that's successful, so I'm not seeing your point.

And I see alot of complaints like yours about Metacritic....where what you're complaining about, never really seems clear by the bottom line game score.

Had HALO 4 been a 70'ish score, then you'd have a point.

It's not that Halo 4 has a bad score, it's that it has a lower score than other  Halo games, yet it is the best Halo game.

Oh and the story was very, very good.

Giant Bomb says Halo 4 was very good too....just not great.

Which, btw....is what Metacritic is saying....basically.

 

You've got nothing to complain about, my friend.

Sorry.
