This Halo is gonna be the best Halo for us Gamers, reviewers can go home we dont care about those bunch of noobs that cant kill except on Cod.

Why do you feel the need to talk down to reviewers when they gave the game a 90/100 on average? What is there even to complain about here? You won't know if it's the best Halo until you've played it yourself.

lol irony or not i just red a 5/10 but nevermind.

More three reviews added to Meta... 92, 80 and 80... seems like it ends at 89.

It deserves more... it's a over 90 game for sure.

What? As far as I remember MGS 1 is classed as the pinnacle of that series. GTA 4 we have confirmation that reviews were paid for. And I dont remeber any gaming media saying RE 4 was better than 1 or 2. As for COD. MW 1 was reviewed well, but again I dont remeber the general consensus being it was better tan the WW2 critically acclaimed COD 2. Cod 2 still being my faveourite also.

Final Fantasy 4 wasnt particularly great in comparison to 2 or 3. 6 eclipses everyting though.

Scores aside, did 95% of reviewers say MGS4, COD 4, RE 4 was the best in the franchise?

With the Halo reviews they flat out are stating its the best Halo ever in actual words.


MGS4 was called the best MGS multiple times in reviews and that is what we're talking about. GTAIV the same. Confirmation that reviews were paid for...from whom? Resident Evil 4 was the best received RE by a lot and won multiple GOTY awards. MW was looked at as a true breakthrough. It revolutionized the whole FPS genre. CoD2 is a great game (and my personal favorite) but critics definitely preferred CoD4 in general.

Edit: Bold - No, but what about Halo 4? Nowhere near that percent. Well, CoD 4 is probably the closest to 95% saying that.

I don't really know why you guys are argueing.  Most people knew the reviews were going to be harsh seeing as it's at the end of the generation and the bar already being set so high.  Most people were expecting between a 90-94.  Looks like that is correct.  It is the best Halo to date as said by many reviewers and most likely will be the best FPS to date as well, considering your taste in games whether it be Halo or Call of Duty.  You guys argue over the dumbest things sometimes.

There is no argument. You're seeing what you want to see. Argh College asked what series were best with their 4th installment. Pezus gave some examples. Selnor asked for elaboration. Pezus gave elaboration. Where's the argument?

 "Ignoring obvious enhancements like big-ticket sequences and proper iron-sights" Jesus, what is this man talking about? 


He believe that FPS must have QTE, Iron-sights, and be like Micheal Bay movies. Pretty much like this, but with more QTE.

I doubt itll drop to 89 on Meta. I think itll stick on 90, and perhaps even climb back to 91. We still have GameTrailers review to go and far more. I am not implying anything, but I feel GT will score it high

 

Haha sorry its an inside joke over at Gaf xD

 

EDIT: http://www.gamerankings.com/xbox360/632877-halo-4/index.html , Although yeah. Gamerankings has it on 89.27% at the moment. We'll see. Meta wages differently, its hard to tell. I must say if Halo 4 got recieved like this, I am already worried for Gears of War Judgment and God of War Ascension.

Yeah I think its harder to convince people late this gen. 



Yay!!!

Surprised edge gave this 8/10. I would have thought they would give this something like a 10, since I think they gave that ODST expansion a 9 as well.



Speaking of ODST, it still baffles me how that masterpiece only managed to get 83 on Metacritic.

With so many 90/100 for Halo 4 don't think will end in 89

Halo Reach got 27 lowest~85(99 total),Halo 4 right now have 13 lowest~85(55 total),the ratio is less than Reach
