I hope,but it doesn't,Forza did not replaced GT5 in NA

And i don't even said Halo 4 will outsold Halo 3,it's he always said Halo 4 will flop,not just this time

Btw,most NA sites give very high score to Halo 4,why you even bring NA sites to you post?it just prove NA media like it,not something like "meh" or even hate it

The 5.5 one is from Australia,1/5 star one?well,it's from a blog,you really think mostly people will care a personal blog?


I never said Forza replaced GT. but more likely than not Forza grabbed some of GT fans to increase the decline in NA

You pick 2 sites out of 63... even without those two scores Halo 4 gets an 88. So yes, NA review sites have been generally reviewing it lower than Halo 3.

It's a valid review, I read it and most of what it says is an indictment on not just Halo but all of the other money milking franchises that people are so brainwashed into feeding. And in no way is this review an indictment on metocritic.

Enjoy your game, no need to make pointless threads unless you actually have a point.

Its clear you didn't read much if any of it. The review is basically just a negative spin on everything about the game.

A review by someone who clearly just wants to attack a game... has little validity. Everyone is entitled their opinions, but I don't feel we are getting one from this guy.

My point is, it is just as valid as the reviews that spin it the other way, all the 100/100 scores are just as meaningless and useless. The scores of a 100 are there to placate the fanboys and give them what they want and create traffic on their sites, giving a 20/100 causes fanboys to have a nervous breakdown but ultimately has the same effect of creating traffic on the site. Be it a 20/100 or 100/100, these are not reviews which critically analyse the content, they should be disregarded and thrown out, and if you are basing your own opinions/arguments off of reviews such as these, then you are complicite in the idiocy. You must use critical thinking, otherwise you are just mindless sheep.

That is why I said the review is not just an indictement on Halo but also the money milking franchises and the fanboys. In of itself the review is meaningless and easily ignored, it is only threads like this which give it weight. 

While I'm skeptical about perfect scores. I'm certain the review by that blog website is bullshit. Bear in mind that reviewer didn't really give it 20/100, he gave it a 1/5. If he reviewed on a scale of a hundred, he probably would have gave it a 1/100.

I think scores that low should be saved for games that are broken and unplayable. Nobody believes that is the case for Halo  4 therefore his review is completely invalid. I feel a perfect score for a broken game is invalid as well.

Threads like this point out Metacritic needs to be a little more selective on what reviews are added to the metascore. Reviews that are clearly trolling shouldn't be included.

Well,you need to check it out,Forza didn't even over 1 million in NA until get bundled

So you want me check fucking 3,4,5,6,7...all 63 sites?

No,i would check out some big sites like IGN,Gamespot,GT,Machinima,Eurogamer etc,but every sites?forget it,and you really think most people will check all sites from metacritic?or you think metacritic only care about NA sites?right now at least 24 out of 63 reviews are not from NA(well,this one only need to see the site name)

And wait,you talking about sales right?why only talking about NA reviews now?

Btw,you should ask BenVTrigger how great of Halo 4 pre-orders,i need sleep

Why are you damage controlling over another man's OPINION over the internet.

Metacritc really need to take out the trash on a few of their 'trusted' review partners.

I have no idea when people will ever stop going to metacritic, can't they start thinking a bit?



SecondWar on 05 November 2012

Lol, just had a look at this site's other reviews on metacritic. Burst out laughing when I saw some of the games its given the top mark to. Definitely not a site that should be taken seriously.
