The game may hold on to atleast a 93 Meta after all.


Well, it only has 27 reviews, it can go up too. I think it will get plenty of perfect scores to keep it well in the 90's. The problem with the superhyped games is we only know how good this game is until months from now, once the hype goes down.


Well once all the big review site give thier scores Reach meta will stablize. OXM will give it a 100 and gamespot will most likely give it a 9.5 ora 9.4

Also Reach is not a superhyped game. I barely seen any ads on t.v or at stores. There mostly internet hype. ( I live in Canada, Amercia is a different story. ) Reach will live up to what hype it has created. I played the game at my friends house its amazing.

 

Anyways did anyone else feel that Gametrailers.com had a very negative review for Reach? Their complaints had not weight what so ever. Pretty fail review IMO I guess that ass Shane got his way.

I'm looking forward to EDGE's review.

Reach - 12 100%'s/29 reviews
GOWIII - 20 100%'s/100 reviews
RDR - 25 (X360) 100%'s/96 reviews - 21 (PS3) 100%'s/73 reviews
ME2 - 30 100%'s/98 reviews

SMG2 garnerd the most 100's so should win the bulk of GOTY's, other than that, extrapolated, Reach is currently ahead with about 41 ish at 100 reviews.

Of course scores tend to get small as time goes on, so it more than likely won't hit 40, hopefully 30 though!

I didn't know that's how GOTY awards is calculated, the best game of 2010 hasnt been released yet, that's how good this year has been.

These games did not get so many 80's so early though, which means expect some 70'S AND EVEN 60'S later on.

No need to be snarky, it's just an indication of what games have most impressed the most, obviously there are variables.

Chill out dude, Halo 3 got plenty of scores below 90 and it still managed a 94, hell it got scores below 80 too.

Currently after 22 reviews Reach has a 93 with 8 of those being perfect scores making roughly 36 percent of the total reviews as perfect. Meanwhile Halo 3 only had 23 percent of its total reviews as being perfect.

Also take into account that many reviewers lowered Halo 3's score because they said it didn't meet the level of hype and epicness they expected from the marketing. While Reach will undoubtedly suffer some of the same, the advertising campaign wasn't as in your face as Halo 3's was which will probably mean that some of the more obscure review sites actually mark it fairly and not off some preconceived notion of what they expect the game to be.

The score has already gone down to a 92 with 17 reviews and back up to a 93 with 22 so more reviews don't necessarily mean the score is going to go down. In fact I'm willing to bet it stays around a 93.

And even if it doesn't, who really cares. Play the game, enjoy it and don't stress over what other people say. Some of the greatest novels and movies of all time were seen as complete disasters by critics when they first came out and were only seen for their brilliance a decade or more later.

Can you provide a link to the many reviewers that did this and explain why it's a bad thing.

No need just go to metacritic and take a look at the lower reviews. The vast majority of them don't say anything at all about the video game itself but about how the reviewer went into the game expecting one thing and got something else. The game was not reviewed on the merits of a game but the reviewers preconceived notions of what the game should be and that is not what their paid to do.

I'm just being me. Any other year, I would think Halo Reach would win best FPS, but there is something special about COD which I feel will make up for that vastly overrated MWF2. But, time will tell, and will be a lot of fun to watch.

 I throught it was a very positive review. He just stated the SP was getting a little stale while multiplayers was great. He clearly stated it was worth the money so how is that a very negative review?  A"Must Buy"  is a failed review?

If it's not rated 100, the game isn't good these days...

I think Halo will Reach 95 on metacritic tops.



FlyingLotus on 12 September 2010

Now 94 on metacritic hope for the best! Aslo the people who don't play halo why are you here i know you're wishing for this to be the  other m in reviews but it's not happening.
