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

Id just like to say its amazing how a 4 hour game seems to rate as highly as this. Amazing



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

A 6 - 8 hours + firefight + Full halo 3 multiplayer on a second disc + new halo 3 map packs + Beta access to Halo Reach



 

Evan Wells (Uncharted 2): I think the differences that you see between any two games has much more to do with the developer than whether it’s on the Xbox or PS3.

Its kinda disappointing that there aren't any perfect reviews yet.  And the first reviews are usually the most positive ones.  This might even end up at high 70's on metacritic.

Oh well, its not gonna stop me from buying it.  Cause I know its gonna be a quality game (one of the very best that's coming out this year)



How has Eurogamer (Italy) all of a sudden got any score that counts ?, Metacritic shoose what reviews they want to add up together and that is a BAD thing, I.e Using 3 official PS3 mags to add the total scores and a lot of PS3 websites for the "same game".

Watch Uncharted 2 and see how many "Official PS3 mags PS3 dedicated websites they use in their score roundup"

Here is the real Eurogamer and score   "Review ends with "Halo 3: ODST is fantastic" . 8 -

Jesus christ, stop talking about "ending up AA or AAA on metacritic", it has nothing to do with score, its a budget thing. Braid is a low budget indie and it has a 92 or 93 metacritic, that doesnt make it AAA. Likewise, terminator salvation is an AAA title and it has 48 meta, that doesnt mean its not AAA.

I hope we will all be able to play tomorrow then !

italy ans spain of course will give poor scores.... of course

Hasn't UK anymore reviewers daring to give bad scores to big names if they so deserve? I,'m sorry for you, I remember years ago at PC Zone (I stopped buying it when the UK£ skyrocketed for years before € rise) they weren't afraid to give "pants" awards to anyone... Maybe Charlie Brooker was a little bit over the top, but so much the better, he kept away bigot pricks from that mag...

You guys need to make friends in the retail business. :)

Pretty much every store has it already. I used to work at HMV when Halo 2 came out and we had it 2 weeks early.
