Halo Infinite - 92

The Medium - 72

i'll update some of these when more gameplay/trailers come out because rn some of these still have hardly anything known 

Curse you! I wanted to have the most negative The Medium prediction!

Also, optimistic Halo Infinite score. Not overly optimistic per say, we don't really know enough about the title to know what it's reception will be (I have a feeling that the availability of it on Gamepass will also perhaps make some of it's shortcomings a little less damning than prior 343 titles). Out of curiosity though, what made you pick 92? Do you personally think it will be amazing, or just that critics will believe it to be so? That sounds condescending to the game but it's not meant to be lol !

hey well i'm not gonna have it either now since we've both already been undershot. we gotta keep going lower :P 

and if i'm being honest I don't actually expect it to hit 92 at all LMAO, perhaps not even 90 or even close. i'd just like to see it happen because this feels like Halo's last chance to become as big and relevant as it once was imo, 343i's Halo games have been good for the most part outside of some blunders (Halo 5's campaign was liquid ass) but it feels like none of them have managed to hit it out of the park yet and are too similar feeling, there's nothing big or new enough for anyone outside of those already invested in it to be drawn into, basically what Gears of War is in rn and why I think that desperately needs a break as well. so if after 5-6 years of development and a complete reinvention of the way the game works and it's still only just "good" like the other games, as weird as that sounds, instead of great or incredible then it'll still be good sure but it'll put into question even more all that development time, and I just don't think it'll be enough to broaden the franchise past the faithful again for what Microsoft and 343i are hoping for with a "spiritual reboot" and fresh start. it really needs to hit it perfectly like God of War did imo so i'm just trying to be optimistic. ;_;

I could be completely wrong tho and putting more pressure on this than needed

Last Stop* ('The Last Stop' is something very different. Thanks for making me see that.) - 81

Sorry about that. Blame Xbox Wire, they called it The Last Stop on their list of 2021 Xbox exclusives:

https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2021/01/15/2021-xbox-exclusive-games/

Fixing it in the OP now. 

Haha, no problem. Just hope someone else is curious enough to check it out now. Don't plan on sleeping tonight if you do.

Think he was asking for an educated prediction, not what you desperately hope will happen.

I like the optimism For Infinite, even if Halo hasn’t reached 90 in over a decade (Reach)

Well all points to the game being delayed mostly for pure polish, since reports said the game was “content complete” last holiday. 

343 repeatedly stated they learned from Halo 4 and 5 storytelling where they will make a self contained narrative that doesn’t over rely on extended universe.

Reports of multiple closed flights of multiplayer is a great sign the game will open to stable servers, balanced gameplay and few bugs. 

No more identity crisis: you play as Chief and only Chief and the game takes place on a open worldish Halo ring. Doesn’t go back to basics more then this, while expanding at same time. 

Overall the game represents a rare thing in gaming today: a full package video game. Expansive single player, online coop, split screen, a full featured competitive multiplayer, map editor (forge), custom game browser, theatre mode, and inevitable mods for Pc. 



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

Nice cherry picking.

Stop trolling and shitting up the thread, make a prediction(s) or get out.

...to avoid getting banned for inactivity, I may have to resort to comments that are of a lower overall quality and or beneath my moral standards.

Man how am I the lowest on Medium with just a 70? Looking like a solid prediction though.
