An Honest first review of ODST

[QUOTE="nhh18"]

[QUOTE="GulliversTravel"]Oh wow full of contradictions are we, im guessing youre going to use anything to somehow bash Halo? Please try harder:| Im hyping it AA because at the end of the day, its SP game with a few extras thrown in. If the campaign clocks in at 4 hours on Easy, then its way more on Hard and most importantly on Legendary. Halo 3 didnt break any new ground but Bungie did a great job with it, ive played through the SP many times on different difficulties, and because the game is still so unique in what it does, it never gets old. One of the things Bungie really hit the nail on were the difficulty by making sure that they scaled well as well as the checkpoint system which was dynamic. But offcoures, because im hyping AA, it must mean 'teh suck.' Regardless Bungie have a proven record and haters like you will cry the day the review drops, so please continue to put words in my mouth, while youre at it, how about you go an claim i said its the greatest thing ever:roll:GulliversTravel

[QUOTE="Syferonik"]No thanks gonna wait for GS review which won't be over 8.5 (probably 8) so if i am getting ODST is only as a rent for Reach's beta.Syferonik

[QUOTE="GulliversTravel"][QUOTE="nhh18"]It means you think it is going to be the weakest iteration. Like I said, it means you think it is going to be the weakest iteration. That the single player is only worth AA. There have been tons of games that only had a singleplayer mode and scored AAA. If you think that this is the strongest single player halo game, which halo ce would definitely score a 9 or higher for single player. Than I don't understnad how you can't think it is AAA. I'm done. This arguement doesn't make any sense. I'm not going to be able to influence anyone by the fact that they believe that a halo game based on single player merits alone is an AA title. Even if it includes firefight and multiplayer maps.

[QUOTE="GulliversTravel"][QUOTE="nhh18"]Why? You are basically saying this is significantly weakest entry by a full point. And then complain about people bashing it when you guys are basically doing the same. You can't have both each way. If you believe it is the best halo game like this guy at neogaf said. Then hype it AAA. if not, and you think it is the weakest. Hype it AA.

Just because the reviewer says good things about that crappy game doesn't make it honest, it makes it lies!

[QUOTE="nhh18"]

[QUOTE="SpiritOfFire117"] If it inlcudes a new multiplayer mode and maps then it isn't based on single player merits alone now is it?;)

[QUOTE="nhh18"]As usual the haters are out, despite the guy giving backing to his opinions, its not enough, and yet reviews where people havent even played the game are just as valid

Review after playing game > No review > Review after NOT having played the game.

This review is bad because it is inaccurate? It seemed like this guy played the same game.

[QUOTE="GulliversTravel"]

[QUOTE="nhh18"]okay I'm done. His opinion is valid because he sadi it was the best halo game. You still won't hype it because you don't believe it but it is better than the negative reviews which had a dissenting opinion on it.

"The last thing I want to say is that the atmosphere in this game is just amazing. Absolutely the moodiest Halo game. Comparatively, I believe "343 Guilty Spark" was the most atmospheric level in the trilogy. This game easily takes the cake in that department. The music, the visor, the emptiness of New Mombasa are really what set this game apart from the rest of the franchise. When you're playing those sections as the rookie, that is when you'll recognize something new about this game. Otherwise, its strictly Halo. The best of Halo...but still distinctly Halo."

Looking pretty good. Only 4 more days!

this is not an honest review. I am glad he likes it.but an honest reviews will mention both good points and bad points. even if it is a simple thing like "the campaign is too short" or something. I did not see he mention any bad point.

Huh?

1. The review embargo doesn't lift until tomorrow, and the site doesn't look like the sort of place that gets review copies of games in early, anyway

2. You'll notice the last game the site reviewed was in July, and it was for 'The Pitt' DLC for Fallout 3. Odd, 'ay? ;)

3. Simple inconsistencies in the review like;

"I also like the fact that Bungie separated us from Master Chief. It certainly makes the whole game different, but in a good way. It adds to a new feel, being that you can't jump as high, you do have a health bar, and that you're not as strong as John 117."

"Besides being way too short, they did nothing to change the gameplay. It feels the exact same way that Halo 3 did."

4. As if I needed any more proof, here's the reviewers gamertag (go on 'My Friend Codes') Now, go check that gamertag here.

Guess what? He hasn't even played it :o

The end.

PS: Sorry for bump, just wanted to clear that up, it's been annoying me. >.>

No. You just described a review that would be objective. The title of the this thread is a for a review that's honest.
