Halo 4's most nonsensical, knee-jerk, rage-filled user reviews on Metacritic

GamesRadar - 343 Industries' Halo 4 is one of the biggest disappointments in gaming this year. We liked it quite a bit, giving it 4.5/5 stars in our Halo 4 review, but that's just our opinion. Hundreds took to Metacritic mere hours after the game was released to express their views on the game, and they were much different than ours.

hmmm, I bet all these people would give 10/10 for Uncharted though.

It is funny reading them write "Does the game deserve a 0/10 - No." or "If you like any of the previous Halo games, you are sure to enjoy this one."

It goes both ways, fanboys are all the same, whether they are sony, ms or nintendo fanboys. I wish that everybody would shut up and enjoy their games.

I've said it once and I'll say it again. Articles about forum posts and other forms of user input are pointless. All it really does is give them the attention that they want.

Every game on Metacritic has a bunch of wanton 0s and 10s. Cry me a river.

There are only two types of reviewers on Metacritic: Those who give 0s and those who give 10s.

Unless that's what you were getting at, in which case ignore this post.

The fact is that it actually wasnt as good as other halos ! yes graphics etc was great but it didnt feel like halo with average level designs and got repetetive , if you look at igs review of 9.8 , i gotta admit it was fanboyish to give it that high and you can just tell by his review , i personally would give it 8.5 , not saying its a bad game cause 8.5 is still a great score but yea !

i disagree with you.

ive played every halo game(many times) and this is by far the best halo (by miles) it felt like bungie got bored after halo 1.

343i have made a game way beyond anything bungie ever made.

Yup, I've played the first three levels and this IS the best halo game, even better then CE which is a huuuuge statement. It's just boggles my mind at some of the low scores it has been getting.

Halo is such a popular shooter that people will just lash out. Popularity will do that with films, games and music.

Personally I've not played Halo 4 but from the many, many positive reviews, I gathered this:

Is it so buggy that it's unplayable? No

Is it broke? No

Did the majority of people that played it seem to enjoy it? Yes.

When reviewing a game, I believe you're suppose to tell the reader if the games works well, are the controls fluid, does it look nice? Re-playability? Bugs? Multilayer good? Not "well it didn't meet my expectations, 0/10'. That's ridiculous.

I think a problem as well is that some people get too caught up into the hype, mainly young kids that are expecting 'THE BEST THING EVAH!'. The when they finally play it and doesn't match up to the excitement they had when waiting for it, they get disappointing. But they react like it's a personal insult. It's a sad state of affairs.
