Forums - Microsoft - Metacritic: Halo: ODST ( Updated )

Strategyking92 on 20 September 2009

Alright sony fans, I'm on your side!
So far our control of this situation has been:
"Yeah, alright scores... for an expansion."
"europeans are smarter (and therefore less corrupt) than americans"
I have no idea how racism got into this thread.
"KIllzone 2 killed this game in how good IT is"
" Man, I can't believe microsoft couldn't pay off the reviewers this time"




But I believe we can do better. So how about:

" It's because the game sucks, I'VE PLAYED IT ok not really."
" Gran Turismo has better Graphics."
" Wow, it's only 85 and not AAA, it must be shit!"


If these have already been said though, please tell me, I want to congratulate you in the right way.



And that's the only thing I need is *this*. I don't need this or this. Just this PS4... And this gaming PC. - The PS4 and the Gaming PC and that's all I need... And this Xbox 360. - The PS4, the Gaming PC, and the Xbox 360, and that's all I need... And these PS3's. - The PS4, and these PS3's, and the Gaming PC, and the Xbox 360... And this Nintendo DS. - The PS4, this Xbox 360, and the Gaming PC, and the PS3's, and that's all *I* need. And that's *all* I need too. I don't need one other thing, not one... I need this. - The Gaming PC and PS4, and Xbox 360, and thePS3's . Well what are you looking at? What do you think I'm some kind of a jerk or something! - And this. That's all I need.

They're all thinking it, but even these lot aren't silly enough to think they can get away with that level of trolling. Insted they do the bare maximum they can do get their fix.

Nah man not u. Just talking about some of the people who obviously haven't played odst and keep trying to talk halo 3 down.

ODST is day one buy for me

Looks like people aren't happy that ODST has not received the metacritic AAA status award.

I can't say that I really expected it to achieve AAA...it is built off the same Halo 3 engine.  I don't want to call it an expansion, but i still think M$ should have launched this title for $49.99.  They might have sold better, and would have likely resulted in a better perception about the game.  Even if M$ didn't want to set a price-precedence, they could have offered gamers a discount like Toys R Us is doing. 

- 6-7 hour long campaign that is one of the best single player campaigns of the year and that you will play multiple times
- New multiplayer mode that is extremely fun and which I only played twice and wasted 40 min combined
- All of Halo 3's maps, including 12 maps not in halo 3. These maps alone will cost 2200 pts (27 dollars)
-Halo Reach beta invite

How is this not worth full price? I agree that 49.99 would have been nice, I like cheap stuff too... but yeah, lets be realistic.

Like as a 360 user, you can spend that money elsewhere and buy something like wolfenstien or FEAR 2 or some other FPS that came out this year...but would you really? And is ODST and what it offers really worh less thn those games?
