Forums - Microsoft - why so much Damage Control regarding "HALO ODST" reviews ?

It's not damage control about scores. Its telling it like it is. A game that gets an 8 or above is not a negative score on any system. No matter how much fanboys want to think it is. Also is there a reason there are a dozen threads about that same game.

Which side do you speak of sir, the PLAYSTATION SIDE or The Nintendo side?

Here it is cheaper than normal HD games (49€<65€) so to me it is not problem if SP is little shorter than usually.



good short game (like Halo3) getting some insane review score because the amercian website are ruled by Xbox360 supporter

hopefully, soon, the european webstie will tell us the truth about Halo ODST ... 8/10 is coming.

sweeping generalisation...

can i generalise about the french or will you take offense?

can people just stop with the crappy childlike attacks... i think the answer to this thread is contained within some of the cry-baby sony fan posts here and elsewhere today..

envy is a terrible terrible thing..

 

remember I m not talking about americans, but americans gamers, and more precisely, americans gamers running some mainstream sites

whatever, I do agree, my post was too muh "generalization" ...

yeah, 8/10 is good

but it is not as jaw dropping as some people or some website are claiming it is ...

and no, all the americans website are not ruled by Halos fans ... but, sometimes, I m wondering if it is not the case ...

Seems okay to me to, but I haven't seen 9-10 hours anywhere. Uncharted took me about 8 hours first time, less and less each time, I beat it on hard in about 6 hours, but crushing was about 8 hours I think.

And which game were you talking about in the post above the one I have just quoted?

There are those jealous of Halo's success and can't stand the hype it generates.

I think if ODST was priced lower than most of the 8/10 would probably become a 9. A lot of the reviews have issues with the price tag.

Something I don't understand is over here in England we NEVER pay the RRP price (recommend retail price). Due to fierce competition among the retailers (inc the online ones such as Amazon) the RRP is usually about £10.00 or £5.00 lower.

Isn't that the case over in the US?

yes. the hut is selling halo odst for £29.98 <------- pretty good deal. in fact all new releases are usually sub 30 quid.

i feel sorry for ppl who shell out 44.99 and 49.99 when they dont have to.
