Such tools. Another proof gaming journalists are a joke.

Also dont know why this guy doesnt gen banned since he is allways spamming and trolling threads lol

i got ban because my old sig haha

Have you sometimes thought about human psychology? High review scores are a perfect example.

It's a phenomenon purely based on emotions.

Typically it goes like this:

You get wowed by something in the game, often something quite trivial, but it gives you a certain feeling in the back of your spine and it almost speaks to your soul. At that moment you decide you love the game. Your dick becomes hard and you get goosebumps all over you. It's like a high. It's like religious fervor.  All you want to do is to praise what you've just discovered and let the whole world know how wonderful it is.

A professional should be able to take a deep breath and take one or two steps back and fend off those feelings because unlike an ordinary guy like myself he's writing something that will affect millions of people.

That IGN 9.8 review is a perfect case.


Please, dont include religous praise. It is highly offensive as I cosider it FAR more than just a 'boner' or a 'goosebump'.

Plus your basing judgements on a review score. I mean c'mon. Youre better than that. 

Whiplash, I know you're Christian and so am I. It's borderline offensive the way I wrote it without a context, the religious fervor sentence, but I am convinced that you've probably heard your pastor or some other wise person sometimes warn you of not mixing God's voice/The Holy Spirit with your own emotions. Because that's common in religion (it's common in all aspects of life no matter if you're a believer or not), to get caught up by your emotions and act upon them.



Around the Network

Has anyone spotted a review that comments the increased handholding conveyed through Cortana's talking compared to previous installments?



Wow, this guy..... Next thread he makes we should all jump in and say his opinion doesn't matter because he has a boner. I haven't read the review or played the game and have you boner boy?

Does VGChartz have an ignore user feature?


Sadly, no.

IGN's review is great. My brother just ran up and told me they gave it 9.8. It's the biggest review site, so it's the one people will quote when they're talking about it being a worthwhile game or not.



Oh yeah, and I hope it settles at 92 on metacritic.

OT: #halo4 has been trending on twitter all day

Omission of Iron Sights makes the gameplay feel dated?


It would for me. I use iron sights all the time. For you know.....accurate aiming.

Anyway, anyone find it odd that such a huge game gets its embargo lifted so early? It could easily backfire.....unless they paid off reviewers. There. I said it. I know we're all thinking it.

You mean "I know PS3 fans are all thinking it".



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles. 

 

Funny how review standards evolved - the same reviews would have translated to a 9.5 score average

ANYWAY BEST HALO EVER !!!!
certainly XBOX360 GOTY
perhaps GOTY across all platforms
