Halo Wars getting a 6.5. Killzone 2 getting a 7. All the games people are looking forward to are turning out like crap I guess.

 

KZ2 has a 92 metascore. That's not a 7 =)

And Halo Wars has an 82 metascore, that is not a 6.5 =)

 

Both the 6.5 and 7 are currently the lowest review scores for the respective games.

 

An Edge 7 is equal to a normal reviewer's 8.5, so your logic fails, sorry.

Besides, we can't compare two different reviewers' reviews, can we? It's like saying The Force Unleashed is better than BioShock because IGN gave TFU a 7.3, while Edge gave BioShock a 7...

 This man speaks the truth. Same goes for all reviews. 



GOTY Contestants this year: Dead Space 2, Dark Souls, Tales of Graces f. Everything else can suck it.

Gamespot died to PS3 fans when they gave Ratchet and Clank a 7.5/
Died to Wii fans when they gave Zelda a 8.8
Now they are dead to everyone muahahahah.

You know how PS3 fanboys are the most immature?

Yeah, how many PS3 fanboys do you see in this thread screaming "LULZ HALO WARS SUCKS, the early reviews were good, but now it's showing its true colours!" like the 360 fanboys back when Maxim gave Killzone 2 a 7?

It got 'Hazed' .. Almost XD

Haze got a 6.0 this got a 6.5

Can it really be that...... .. bad...?

lol "it got 'Hazed'"

lol. It seems it has. I had really mixed feelings about the demo. It seems that reviewers will be pretty mixed as well.

Why do you think the reviewers have mixed feelings about the game ?

Scores from 90-70 are not mixed. It's a decent to great game.

Mixed is something from 80-50. (Good - decent - bad)

I said they could. Just like Assasin's Creed and Folklore. Both games had really high scores and some low ones. I'd consider a 6.5 to be a pretty low score comparatively to the other scores.

SHOCK!

They gave Halo 3 9.6!!

The Good

  • Superb selection of UNSC and Covenant forces
  • Easy to play once you grasp the controls
  • Engaging storyline and cutscenes
  • Good mission variety through campaign mode.

The Bad

  • Covenant not playable in campaign mode, Flood not playable at all
  • Small unit counts and map limit the scale of battles
  • Very few multiplayer options.

SHOCK!

Small units? So, having 40+ folks is small. They don't know jack about strategy (even I understand how to flank and divert an enemy's attention).

So what you can't play as the Flood. What real weapons do they have? Are you going to dig growing huge plants and the like? It makes no sense to play as the Flood. Unless you are using MiracleGro on 'roids. you'd have your spots carpet-bombed like it's no one's biz.

Another gripe - you have several options online. Those idiots can't play online yet - it's not online enabled.

It's their opinion, but if they broke off small units and stationed them along the map, they'd have most of the map illuminated.

I think they have missed the boat. I won't complain, but they don't understand the game.

wow, i've been meaning to plug my 360 back in to grab the demo and judge for myself. now i don't have high expectation for a console RTS i find it hard to believe this wouldn't deserve at least a 7.

Get the demo and judge for yourself. Not everyone is into RTS games, especially on consoles.

But how many times have there been when someone actually gives a reason for not liking the game and is called a troll?

And who the hell was saying that when maxim gave KZ2 a 7?



N64 is the ONLY console of the fifth generation!!!
