I have to admit im really just not suprised at all with the Score. Im just glad he didnt put it into AA. I mean anyone who takes Jeff's reviews for games at this point is crazy. I know 9 is a great score, i know its his opinion. But in order to put something into the bad catagory he talked about a glitch that no other review or person who got the game early mentioned. Isnt that a little strange?

Its a shame that a game most people have talked about as a game that sets the standards for storytelling, and a game that stands above the rest...wont stand above the rest on this site.

Casey and everyone can make all the excuses in the world for how ridiculous it is to get mad at a game that scored AAA, but when the average score was 98%, and it gets a 9 here, you just can argue with the stats, and that shows Jeff is the odd one out...not us

completely agree especially about the glitch i mean does he not read other reviews? does he not see that no one else has mentioned this in their reviews? does he not think that maybe its not the games fault its his 360, he should have called up some other review sites and asked them about it(heck ign doesn't give out 9.7s for games that have that type of glitch usually)

who wants to bet that jeff is looking at this and laughing a maniacal laugh? I'm serious, he just likes to screw with system warsians.borgmaster

lol at warsians, i dont think so although if halo 3 gets AAAA and mass effect get a 8.5 and both reviewed by jeff than yeah there might be something there.

it's nothing terribly surprising. it just won't be popular with some people.

Then it MUST be open... 8)

this mystery thread is definitely peaking my interest

maybe if you guys make enough noise about the supposed "glitch" then a revision to the review will be done. just don't make new threads about it here.CaseyWegner

well i guess thats hope but i mean i am sure jeff has seen the high scores does he not know anyone else who is a review for another site that he could ask if they experienced such and such problem or maybe ask someone who he might have known to got the game early from toys are us? i mean its not ign gives 9.7s if the game has that major of a freezing glitch and not mention it in their review they aren't THAT incompetent.

come on, lemmings. look at it this way. gamespot reviews games hard. if a game manages to score AAA, then you know it's something special.CaseyWegner

thats true but there are certain games were imo a 9.0 is too low and i think this is one of these games. Besides the excuse for the 9.0 score was weird why has no other review site had the freezing problem besides this one? and whats with the swipe at halo 3 fans was that necessary?

[QUOTE="D0013ER"][QUOTE="CaseyWegner"]

actually, there's going to be a stickied thread tomorrow that'll make me public enemy number one in lemming's eyes. that's all i'll say about it now.

*grabs popcorn and viking helmet with beerholders*

it'll be one of the locked stickied thread variety so it won't be as exciting as an open one but i'm sure there will be a few threads made to complain.

casey you are the man to build up the hype man lol

anyway it probably has something to do with pc/360 exclusives if i had to bet

on topic:

i wish that if a review person experiences problem with a game he might after seeing that no one else has experienced this problem(i am talking about the graphical glitch) he might like you know talk to other people who have the game and ask why they dint put that in that review he might have found out its because of his 360 and not knock it in his review but anyway its still a good score but i wish it was higher.

"Its weak link is its unsatisfying no-skill-required combat, which might aim this one just over the head of the average Halo fan"

what exactly does that mean...

Hopefully you are kidding...

lol, definitely. This hysteria around a 9.0 is silly.

Haha, no doubt. I can't believe how mad people get when a game scores AAA.

i am not exactly mad it just seems very strange that would encounter a graphical glitch that no other site has had a problem with...
