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

dont worry

france is coming too. Europe will keep this good game to the expected sub-9/10 score it deserves

Finally, a Halo game rated fairly !

You played the game?

nah

but it is common sense that a 9/10 for ODST is overrated

it was already true for Halo3 ...

marketing is marketing.

Same go for GTA4 ... (never played any GTA games but I remember a time when reviewer put them 6-7/10 ...)



Time to Work !

killzone 2 has raised the bar confirmed :P


OT:

i think it will settle around 87 or 88

it's a very good score for an expansion pack.

Only bar KZ2 raised was overhype/underperform.

 

This game will sell loads regardless of score, proving that the bar has still not been reached by other fps franchises. Modern Warfare is the only fps close to it.

Its proving its brand name is one of if not the biggest brand name in FPS(next to call of duty), HALO WARS didn't sell well though compared to other games in the series, but this is a FPS and will likely sell alot more than an RTS. KZ2 is selling well today, and is nearing 2 million copies, idk how it underperformed

To compare KZ2 to ANY Halo game is to compare NFS Underground 2 to GT. LOL. Halo ODST has about 40 more reviews to come yet. KZ2 on Meta had more poor scores than this so far. As I predicted. Many high scoring websites to come in yet. :)

You seriously think Halo 3 didn't deserve its scores?

The campaign can be replayed many times even with friends cooperatively (2 players on the same screen, 4 players online), the online component is good old Halo (though misses a few tricks from Halo 2, but still), Forge is just incredible, etc.. I just can't imagine how addicting ODST will be with Firefight and the single player mode. Bungie have a good track record, no need to diss a game because it feels like an expansion pack.

And about GTA, GTA Vice City and San Andreas deserved their scores as well because it changed a lot of things in the series. GTA4 was also very good, the new driving controls, physics engine and storyline with the cutscenes were really well done. Plus, you can expand your playtime with DLC episodes. It's a living breathing city on a little disc! Rockstar are the kings at doing just that.



Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

Watch my insane gameplay videos on my YouTube page!

Halo 3 is overated? Hold up and let the J man check something out............."over 250,000 playing even after 2 years WOW"..libellule the J man doesnt see what your saying.

Hype NO MATTER HOW BIG can not last for 2 years..........halo 3 is the best online experience you can get and the numbers dont lie.



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

LOL I don't really think your in a sweet position to brag about odst against KZ2 meta wise.

Anything above a 85 is really high imho. It's using the same Halo 3 engine, a short campaign and only adds fire fight.

I'm going to get it as a huge Halo fan and the fact I don't have all the maps (and you literally need them to play about 70%+ of the matchmaking) but for a lot of people I think the $30 or $40 price tag would have been easier to swallow.

I don't know why so many people were expecting this to score a 90% or higher.

Forza 3 on the other hand will score much better as a brand new engine and game that will rival Gran Turismo.

If anything Halo REACH should score 90% or better considering they are doing it from the ground up.



It's just that simple.

Thanks for the insight. Do you think the 94 KZ2 reviews on metacritic may play a role in in KZ2 having more poor scores than ODST? It may be possible.
