This game is VASTLY superior to ODST and Reach


Not according to Metacritic....its down to an 87/100. Reach is at a 91/100 while Halo 3 sits at a 94.

This being the lowest scoring mainline Halo game, could this affect its sales? Week 1 probablyl won't be affected, legs will IMO. Black Ops 2 is set to do some damage as well. 

Like other big franchises (CoD, GT, etc.), a slightly lower Metascore will have next to no effect on sales.

Right because Metacritic scores have traditionaly affected COD sales

 

oh wait..........

Well they haven't really. But Halo is different. Caters to a different audience.(of course there is some overlap). I didn't say reviews alone will affect it though. It'll be a combination of things.

Example Scenario: 
John Doe: Should I buy Halo 4 which is apparantly worse than Reach, which I hated? This wasn't even made by Bungie...
Jason Doe: Naw dude. Wait for Black OPs 2. Itz got zombiez and its coming next week yo.

Lol Halo 4 is vastly superior to Reach according to gamers and gamers are what make a game sells, word spread not metacritic, and different times, different scores, do you really think if Halo 3 came out today it would have 94 or uncharted 2 or killzone 2 or Gears of War ?

Gears of War 3 is the best in the franchise yet it doesnt have as good scores, the same for Halo 4 and many other games, different time, GTA V wont score 98 and will probably be 1000x better than the horrible GTA IV, still cant understand the 98 for that game.

Reviews dont mean sh**, most are biased, the others have no clue on the franchises, what matters is what the community will think and the community on Reach thought this :

Worst Halo Ever, Sh*tty game, Bungie sucks.
