I've heard a lot of bad things about Halo 4, and I've never been sure why because I never played a Halo game after 2. I have a 360, but for whatever reason I just never got around to playing 3, 4, & Reach.

I'm excited to be able to catch up once MCC releases though, and see what the deal is with 4 myself.

When people say that theyre talking in terms of multiplayer, not singleplayer as Halo's multiplayer is huge.  In terms of singleplayer many consider halo 4's story to be the best.

I guess that wouldn't really apply to me. I like Halo's multiplayer, but it was never the main reason I enjoyed the series. Good to know.



Thought I'd point out FH2 has jumped from 80ish range the other day on Amazon to currently #22.

Ya mp wise- halo 2, halo 3, reach, 4
Single player- halo 4, reach, odst, 2, 1, 3.
Odst had the best co-op. And I loved wars but it's hard to compare a rts to fps.



Halo MCC will sell 5+ million copies(including digital)

halo 5 will sell 10 million copies(including digital)

x1 will pass ps4 in USA, and UK.

Shadow of mordor reviews are popping up now. IGN gave it a 9.3, Joystiq 5/5, and most surprisingly destructoid gave it a 6/10.

So 2 really high scores and 1 low score so far. Looks like it may be a critically polarizing game at this rate. I must say that I'm surprised to see that 6 from Chris Carter at Destructoid. His scores are usually very close to my own, he has become my most trusted critic since Adam Sessler retired. Considering the other scores it's getting I'll still play the game for sure, but who knows, maybe I'll end up agreeeing with him like I do with so many other games. Somehow I doubt I'll agree with him on this one though, the game looked anything but boring during that 3 hour livestream I watched last week.

After 11 reviews it is at 86 on Metacritic.

Destructoid has been the only really low score so far.

The main negative I hear about the game is the main story and missions aren't very good, but everything else seems to be excellent. I can see some reviewers being generous while other will be a whole lot harsher because of it. 



Mordor looking better than I thought.... OMG... I just remembered my bet with Angelus that we cancelled.
This game could possibly have a higher meta than DA Inquisition.

Fuck it. I'm going on record to say Shadow of Mordor will have a higher meta than DA Inquisition once the dust settles (all reviews are in). :)

Lol, I was just thinking about that bet myself. Shadow of Mordor still has a chance at beating DA: I. A few more 10's or 9.5's and it could happen. Were it not for that 6 from Destructoid Shadow of Mordor would be at 89 meta right now.

Knew I should not have cancelled, but EA in all their infinite wisdom had to delay... 

Oh well, will still be nice to see a game that's had basically no hype vs. the biggest RPG of the Fall! 

Reminds me a little of Skyrim vs. Kingdoms of Amalur... although it didn't end well for Kingdoms :(
