I would say that "one biome" is weakest part of game. But whatever.
I am expecting more shorter games from Microsoft and Sony. I am off today so might do some boring data science analysis on howlongtobeat.
To some people it is (those people are unique) but doesn't change the underlying fact that art is subjective and its always good to remember that for reviews and award shows like the TGA.
I never criticised gameplay since everyone says it's good, I only spoke about story. Who said I only based on transcript? If that was the case I would have commentes about this in other Halo threads. I've seen the gameplay videos and watched reviews, they confirm my concerns.
Who taught you that 87 is low 80's?
He probably missed some math classes
Dude can’t count.87 is low ???
87 is low 80? Damn, gonna have a talk with my teacher!
You're trying too hard. It's objectively bad if it's universally criticised, which is the case here.
Think he meant the PC scores.

6 years and only one biome?!From ign, guess its only one biome for the whole campaign. I cant wait to play but thats hella dissapointing coming from even halo 5 which im replaying.
Sorry but which games do you mean again exactly? I've been playing Halo for 20 years. My perception is that the games never had a great story. Actually, compared to modern story telling like The Last of Us, it's "weak". That was never the point. Halo manages to create a living universe with a believable "superhero" character, good gameplay and a unique shooter sandbox. Along with Doom, one of the few titles that stayed true to the original shooter essence. Halo Infinite develops this formula further and from that point of view it is probably even the best Halo game.
Yeah, XGS will probably end up as the highest MC rated publisher of 2021Halo 87 MC
FH5 92 MC
Deathloop 88 MC
Flight Sim 90 MC
Psychonauts 2 87 MC
So now we are doing this? Searching for lowest scored version and claiming this is "right" score?Think he meant the PC scores.
Halo Infinite
When all hope is lost and humanity’s fate hangs in the balance, the Master Chief is ready to confront the most ruthless foe he’s ever faced. Begin anew and step inside the armor of humanity’s greatest hero to experience an epic adventure and finally explore the scale of the Halo ring itself.
Actually, I've always seen Halo being more than that. The Forerunners, the Flood, the Halo rings, all of these felt as something magical - we were given tidbits of what they were, they made sense, but never to a super deep level, and this is what I loved about Bungie. 343i, in my opinion, ruined that by giving you lots of info that would you only understand if you read the books. I felt Halo 4 was a overload of information that, imo, should have been left more superficial. But this is my take on it (haven't touched Halo for many years now), I know people who think that Halo 4 was amazing.
Almost all reviewers bar a few are saying story is the weakest part of the game.
Variety is what most gamers want in a full campaign. So it's not a weird criticism. Imagine Gears only having one area, it wouldn't be acceptable, even Ghost of Tsushima with one island had a huge amount of variety.
That's a very forgiven read of his comment so happy to accept that it's a mistake.Think he meant the PC scores.

So what was in the leak exactly if not a transcript of the story? You should quit while you’re not too far behind.
Gamespot: "The incredible story occasionally falters with a forgettable antagonist and some rushed character development"
I would say being tied for lowest is a bad thing, but Psychonauts was a complete banger.Halo 87 MC

Lol, stop trying to make it about me. It's the reviewers saying this, not me. I already had this concern when I read the leaked story, not it's just been confirmed. Why don't you take it withose reviewers and 343 instead of being offended by me.

Age IV is 82 on OC if i remember correctly
I'm not gonna play this childish game where you take one quote from one review to try to prove your point.
Yeah, I think it largely depends on the campaign length. I just hope that it doesn't burn me out by the end of the campaign.
I just have a feeling that Eddie refuses to learn what being objective means.
I liked that because the game had that main story, between Chief and Cortana and saving humanity, but all of it was kinda like a drop in the ocean. Suddenly, Halo 4 comes and there's an overload of info and I was getting so confused that the main story quickly lost me. Some cool stuff in the game, but it was too much.
The lack of self-awareness is astounding.
I think it started with Minecraft.
"reviewers" are just some people giving a subjective opinions. In best case these are underlined with reasonable arguments. If the story doesn't appeal to you based on the arguments, then that' s fine. But why are you shitting all over this thread? Who exactly are you trying to convince of what? People here came because they are interested in the game and want to share opinions and thoughts. You aren't interested anymore? Move on, world is big.
I think today’s MS just let’s Gamepass do the marketing for them. I guess they feel that +/- 30 million people having access to the game generates enough discussion for the game without having to blast every media with ads.
I was thinking the samething when Forza came out, I first heard it used regularly in Returnal. For some reason it didn't seem strange in that game biomes in Forza don't sound right, same with Halo. Didn't it used to be levels or areas?
Are you seriously that thick? I didn't bring up a quote of my own to play these childish games, I used his own quote to show it contradicts what he's trying to prove.
So basically "never let the truth get in the way of a preconceived narrative'. Gotcha.
Think you are right but think they are missing the ball here. I think they need to make sure that they keep up with marketing games just like other content providers do. There is benefit of advertising the library but they definitely need to advertise the new hot game as well. Do we have any estimate on marketing spend by publisher?
