The MP didn't look so awesome like some early reviews said...


Ethomaz, please stop it. You even think KZ is better than Halo, sans SF. it is ok to not like a game but seriously, why do you even care? It seems it is more of a personal think than some objective criticism for a game you won't play on a console you won't buy.

Yeap... I can confirm that.

Killzone SPs except SF is better than Halo 5 SP (it is the lowest in the franchise for me)... not just me a lot of guys agree.

And I already played Halo 5... the MP is indded not that good and have flaws do be fixed yet.

After watching the Angry Joe show review i dont understand how this game got a 86 metacritic.

I love watching Angry Joe reviews, he's known for latching on the negatives to try to make a point. So with a 6/10 from him, It's really easy to see how it got a 86. IMO I also agree with a lot he has said, especially forge should have been at launch.



85 again with little chance to reach 85 because they add the 6th mixed review.

7/10 from GRYOnline.pl

So do people who played it here like it better than Halo 4? Because I do.

honestly me either

 

- extremely short compaign.

- bad story

- false advertisment about the story

- no split screen

- no forge or big team mode

- dumb AI

- same boss for 6 times (WTF SERIOSULY?!). if this happened in any other game it would have been dumped on.

- Microtransactions seriously fucked the unlock system. its simply broken like this. 

- a weird desgin choice were aiming/moving horizontally is faster than vertically. 

 

it honestly feels this game just got its scores because its halo. with fanboy reviewers slapping it 10's, 9,5's and 9's. (5 reviews gave this game a 10, really?, and that IGN reviewer who said its the WORST halo 5 SP ever gave it a 9, LOL). 

people can hate on me if they want, but even reviewers dont seem to deny that these are all issues, yet seem to disregard them all when giving that final score. 



Great MP can easily make up for SP flaws. Also, there is nothing broken about the unlocks in Warzone LOL.

Lastly not everyone even feels that way about the SP. I have read and talked to lots of people who think the campaign is good. Extremely short is also subjective.

I don't hate you, but maybe you two should actually try the game instead of looking for a review you want to believe? :) Most of the points you listed are either subjective or features that aren't in the game instead of being flaws or issues. Personally I don't know what's going on with the story but what the game delivers is very polished and great quality. Enemy AI is actually very good and only once have I faced issues with friendly AI, so it's really not much of an issue. There's room for improvement tho.

For me it honestly feels that some Halo fans are giving it low scores because as a long-time fans they had their own ideas and expectations for what this game should be. For a Halo n00b like me, anything lower than 85 meta would be a joke for a quality FPS shooter like this one. It's a reasonable score, the good clearly outweights the bad.

I think all the issues that you stated above are exactly why it got an 85 on metacritic. It's still a great game. Just not something to go out and buy an entire system for.
