Game fundamentally is broken

Give it an 8

That's not even remotely critical.

Broken is an extreme word to use. It isn't broken.

I was playing multiplayer all night last night, and I'm just hopping on now again. It can take a while to find a match, and you do get the odd error but I was still able to play a ton of matches.

Every single reviewer's word > random forum lemming's word

Every single reviewer isn't saying the game is broken.

And plenty of people are playing online - albeit not in ideal conditions.

I don't have to deal with anything. I'm not the one trying to play a broken-ass game. I get to sit here and laugh at the hypocritical apologists.

Check my first post in this thread. It was my fanboy litmus paper. I ripped on PS4 and the XBone but no one dares quote it.

@Shewgenja: Mustve skipped it. Good for you in seeing that both systems have flaws.

P.s. Pretty sure it is 1080p except for halo 2 single player?

I know. I really really REALLY REALLY don't like the XBone, but I think that people pretending the PS4 is a slice of perfection straight from God's table top need a bit of help.

You're either lying or really lucky. I have had the game since launch and have only been able to join one game so far.

Seems kind of steep for minor matchmaking issues that'll probably be fixed in no time. Maybe there's an ulterior reason for this, like the reviewer being sick and tired of being abused online by the Halo community...

I didn't realize how many separate companies were working on this one game.

That's probably where the issues stem from. They should have beta-tested it.

So it will get bumped up again wednesday. That cow insecurity though...

?

Apparently, if you say something positive/negative about the ps4/xb1 on SW, you're a cow/lems by default. Like Tomato keeps calling em a lemm for some reason

It's all clear in the title

What is clear? How does the title related to "cow insecurity"?

The insecurity of cows about their system not being "the best". That's why they downplay, and keep shitting on everything Xbox One related. It's all in the "Ouch" part of your title

You mean how you and every single fucking lem does the same to PS4? Lets not pretend it doesn't go both ways, shall we?

You're the one showing insecurity. Lostrib isn't a Cow. Not even by a long shot. I tangle with the guy over all kinds of shit, but a spade is a spade here. You're making a fool of yourself.

You never agreed to the terms. You kept changing them because you were twisting what I was saying to mean precisely what I wasn't saying. I don't give a toss about software unit sales.

Come-on now you know for a fact it's been just like this for 2 weeks. Not 2 hours. Smash Brothers took over when amazon ran out of copies.

Plus Wal-mart is giving halo away BF.

I'm not saying PS4 will not win by any means.. I have no magic 8 ball on hand. I'm just saying Halo numbers are going to be fucking huge.

I have no reason to lie, I'm still playing it as I type (yes I used photobooth to take the picture lol)

Could be something to do with location, or maybe it is just down to luck.

Nah it was a cluster **** server side... If or when they fix it. I'm sure they will.

They might readjust the score. Right now it deserves it.

So why did they release a score to begin with? It's seems more responsible to just wait until you have a good grasp on all modes, performance and features before releasing a review. Because if you re-score a game once why stop there? Why not change the score after every patch or DLC?

Really I don't care what the score is. If the game deserves an 8 in their eyes then that's fine with me. But what the hell was the 9.5 then? If the online is broken now it was broken then. How did it deserve the 9.5 then but not now? Their staff needs to get together and iron out their review process.

It just shows how ridiculous the reviewing process is in most cases. Dependent upon hype with a short time line and no dependable standard to go by. Reviews today are a mess.

Games today are a mess too... It's ridiculous... 50+ meg day one patches going up into the Gigs.. I mean come the **** on. Micro transactions on 60 dollar games.

They better pull back and know their roll. They're only hurting themselves the incompetent greedy fucks.
