Official Halo Wars Thread - Keep It Here!

Never expected Race Pro to outscore Halo Wars. Gamespot is like the twilight zone of gaming sites at the moment.

Not saying I don't agree with them since I haven't played either game.

will this dispel lemmingspot accusations? probably not. CaseyWegner

let me ask you this...is ramb0and0 luke's personal gamertag or he uses to review games?

here are the scenarios.

1. it's his reviewing gamertag and he gave a review based on 1/3 of the game. In a RTS game, online is very important, yet he gave a review score without playing online

2. it's his personal gamertag that is no way related to gamespot. Then why did he play the game part of the game over again in the normal mode?

if he actually finish the game before reviewing, wouldn't he try to play in a harder setting?

[QUOTE="Avian005"]I hate the fact he reviewed it as a PC RTS game. For console owners (and it's exclusive, you idiot reviewer), it's a great game.SolidTy

Uh, no. Try actually playing Command and Conquer for 360, a CONSOLE RTS, and then explain why the heck HALO WARS was so dumbed down. Not good. Great Reviewer!

Oh, and play the actual game before saying it's dumbed down.

XD has anyone at least read/view the review? i think makes a lot of sense, all the points they touched are indeed very important. The basic elements in rts and were mediocre for this game. still xD 6.5 is harsh.. probably deserved 7.5-8lancedgt

Oh, I did play HALO WARS Demo for hours. Please stop trying to make stuff up, since you are not good at it.I also wrote NUMOUROUS in THREADS about Halo Wars, google it.

Oh, and OXM and EUROGAMER, lol!

The only respected ones are GI in your sentence.lol.

Halo Wars is fantastic fun :D

Giving a 6.5 to a game they had a blast playing is simply another brick in GS' path to being completely out of touch with reality. Want the honest scoop? Play the demo in skirmish mode. If it makes you long to play the game with your buddies, then go for it. If not, hey, it's not for you, you're out all of $0.

As for the score-mongers, seriously? I mean, really guys? Do I need to write a seven page long essay on this, or can we move on and accept that the review industry, the ENTIRE review scoring malarky, hasn't made a lick of sense in years? Don't make me come down there with a thesis!

[QUOTE="SolidTy"][QUOTE="TPOJ-TPO"]Actually, he's right. Just look at Gameinformer, OXM and Eurogamer, they reviewed it the correct way. This guy just doesn't know how to review RTS console games well...at all.

I didn't say you weren't good at HW, I said you weren't good at MAKING STUFF UP.

As far as the actual game, no one in this thread has played it, but there are reason's it's a bad review already, so it works both ways.

Holy Jesus , so glad I dont play nerd RTS to begin with. I only play Real Strategy games, you know, the ones where everything stops when you engage battleSonic_on_crack

Why do GS do this, i looked on metacritic and most people gave it around 8.0. GS score is lowest of them all!! Do GS just like to be controversial? Spruce is right this IS R&C all over again. BoloTheGreat

[QUOTE="Sonic_on_crack"]Holy Jesus , so glad I dont play nerd RTS to begin with. I only play Real Strategy games, you know, the ones where everything stops when you engage battleangelkimne

You know, you aren't talking to regular Sonic, that is Sonic on Crack's opinion. That shouldn't surprise you. :)

Funny thing is, had GS reviewed HW as a console RTS and not compared it to PC RTS, then scored it 8 or 9 Lems would have refused to believe it scored higher as a result of this.

As it turns out they did compare it to PC RTS and it did get hurt bad on the score. Funny old world how lems now admit PC RTS has much higher standards

I think it's a bad review IMO. Also gamespot better score Starcraft II lower too since you can only play the humans in the single Campaign.

ya i can smell the 8.0 for killzone 2 now XDlancedgt

Yeah no Co-Op, no cover in Multiplayer.

My copy is paid in full so I'm buying it no matter what score it gets, but to be able to see the reaction of people who spent literally years hyping this game only to have it flop here would overload the lulz system.Porn suicide accounts, DC 100X, absolute freakin bedlam.

But it is a shooter, so +1.0 for that already. :P

I don't think GameSpot reviewing a game and scoring it based on their opinions is controversial at all.

31 reviews later, still at 82. Only 7 are below 80, and only 4 of those are rated at 70 or below... and only ONE is below 70. :|

Just more perspective, my friends.

But can play all in multiplayer mode.

Um I have to agree with the review and not just because I a mostly a hermit. Sure the demo I will admit is fun but that doesnt mean its good. Compared to a lot of RTS I have played on PC. Halo wars is not even close. I actually am happy they reviewed with the standard RTS genre. Hey it is an RTS. Why cant it be compared to the rest??? I dont think people should complain though. What did you expect??? Killfox

I don't think 6.5 is the right score... since Starcraft N64 had 8.4 ... I was expection about 8.0 for halo wars.

Oh no no no. When it comes to GS, weird things can happen. Seeing that only (right now) GS gave a score bellow 70 makes one think what went wrong

lmao meh, I just don't even get Gamespot anymore. This site has just become a joke... Well there's my damage control :P STILL CAN'T WAIT! and cows, watch out for KZ2! :O :P-RocBoys9489-

but kz2 has proved itself as a great game, AAA in mc

still could flop, some will go crazy, but people were expecting A LOT worse 2 months ago

Wow... I played Halo Wars and thought it was alright. But not 6.5 bad... I was thinking more like 8.0.. or 7.5 at least. That really sucks because a LOT of people really do read only Gamespot reviews.

I actually am kind of worried for Killzone 2. They also gave Valkryia Chronicles and Mass Effect 8.5's without giving decent reviews to either. GS is a little questionable right now.
