There's a difference between not liking a game and it being shit. I never specifically said they were shit, I said they were not good games, I also used a qualifier, "to me", and lastly, I also stated they never deserved all the praises and awards they got. They were always over hyped, and nowhere near what those praises and awards claimed, to me. So, to me, they were never deserved Sent from my wireless communicator. |

Crucible matchmaking is so bad.
6 games 6 losses. Let's see how long I can go before winning.

Unlike something like Bioshock or The Last of Us, people go back to it for more than just story. So what if HALO is a popular franchise. Remember, we're a community that formed around TF2, a game with innovative graphics (at the time), hilarious writing/story, and top-notch multiplayer. There used to be a time when this community revolved around HALO jokes. (03-22-2009, 06:59 PM)Benito link Wrote: Welcome!

Matchmaking in this game is the worst I think I've ever seen. The teams are usually horribly level imbalanced. The game theoretically evens out the level differences but this doesn't matter in game because high level people are usually more experienced and have better weapon choices. The final scores I've found generally track the levels. And the funniest thing is that it keeps you in matchmaking queues with the same people but rarely shuffles teams. That means the same people that stomped you last game are stomping you this game.

I didn't think I would but I ended up playing a couple hours of this. My verdict: Halolands. That's not a bad thing, though, I liked it. I got kinda bored with it though, same as blands.Â
It really is a hyper-streamlined RPG that reminds me a lot of Mass Effect and simultaneously KotR. |

I said fuckit and bought this when I saw that buying the PS3 version gets a free upgrade to PS4 version. Wow, people weren't kidding when they said the story was bad. It's not bad so much as nonexistent. Multiplayer is significantly better, though all the one hit kills from super moves get irritating after a while.

The Stochastic. <synonym for "collective"> Cheese. Can I write for Bungie now? |

You can really tell Bungie fucked up with the presentation of this game. There is a lot of really cool stuff there, its just buried in a layer of bad ideas. I'm hoping that they will be responsive and release constant free updates like GW does and then they can still do their big content releases they have planned.

Just hit 20 yesterday, and today I finally fell in love with a weapon. A rare handcannon with nearly maxed out impact, 11 round magazine, and a chance to return missed shots to my magazine. Not exactly exotic tier but I've been kicking ass with it anyway.

I just hit 20 too. I need to make 5 friends for when I'm ready to raid shit. It's crazy how much of this game opens up at level 20.
