Kotaku said thatvthe cutscenes have THE BEST facial animations and captures theyve ever seen.

They went as far as to say that during cutscenes they would mistake the animations as real actors. That is some high praise. Cant wait to see this game for myself on a big screen in HD

Can't wait to see Master Chief's facial expressions finally. Yay for 343 :D

metacritic down to 90 now.. not bad at all, but not as amazing as it was hyped to be.

Down to 90? Well then my original prediction of 89 might end up bein true

Which is ironic because its the lowest scored Halo in the mainline series but the general consensus of the reviews is it is the best Halo made. Just goes to show you how hard reviews are this late in the generation. They did the same thing to AC and AC3 is brilliant

Yea 90 seems like such a deal breaker right. I mean so many other games have scored over 90 this year...

Never mind just Mass Effect 3. Give credit where it is due. Excellent reviews. :)

A lot of people were including me. Getting rid of the most popular weapon (Battle Rifle) was not the smartest decision.  

They got rid of it because too many losers were modding their controllers to rapid fire, and the Battle Rifle with turbo fire was a deadly weapon.

Don't think it will down to 89,the ratio of 80~85 same as Reach,just so many 90 this time(Reach got 17 90s,4 already have 16 90s now)

Wow actually doing slightly better than I thought. I got worried some would review it harshly but a 91 for a FPS this late in the generation is incredible. Probably will get GOTY from most sources, but not all. Im guessing it will end up closest to universal GOTY. That or Mass Effect 3.

And Slimbeast you sound rediculous. Its not like the IGN review is even out of place or the highest. Theres multiple websites and publications that gave Halo 4 a strait 10. But then again your just blindly hating on a game youve never played so Im just wasting my time

9.8 out of 10.0 is a much stronger statement than 10/10.

Why do you accuse me of "blindly hating"? Where did I hate Halo?

Btw. you yourself have admitted that the inflated GTA4 scores back in 2008 were outrageous.


You have been hating on Microsoft products and games pretty much since you got your PS3. Your a very different person to who you were on here when you first arrived. I used to ride into battle with you back when VGC had alot more Xbox fans here. Now your like Slimebeasts darkside twin. That killed off the legendary Jedi Slimebeast.

Sometimes I feel very guilty about my betrayal, but I just couldn't take the heat anymore.

Man, it's much easier to be on the winning side.


How is PS3 'the winning side'?



My prediction threads:

Wii U will sell under 40m units (made on 14th September 2012)

PS Vita will sell under 20m units (made on 30th September 2012)

Wii U will sell under 7m in 2013 - I was right

Halo 4 first 9 weeks sales prediction

PS4 to be down YOY in 2015

Halo has a cap on the shots.  You can't shoot as fast as you pull the trigger.  Call of Duty just sucks and thats why modded controllers worked on it because they don't know the word balanced.

Ah I expect it to roam around at 90-91.  Loving the reviews, everybody is basically saying it's the best halo which is much more of a statement than any of the scores :)  But yes you are right about reviews being harsher at the end of the generation.
