great reviews across the board but this and zero punctuation are the only reviews I'm really interested in, brutally honest and un-biased.

MeatAbstract4971d ago (Edited 4971d ago )

Zero Punctuation shouldn't be taken too seriously. He is brutally funny and nit-picks at games to fuel his comedy but many of the games he tears apart I and many other gamers enjoy.

I do like CGR as well. They seem to genuinely enjoy games and give everything a fair chance. They find enjoyment in pretty much anything they review but fairly tell you what flaws there is.

Trizard4971d ago (Edited 4971d ago )

Zero punctuation is the best, the problem is that he doesn't do online multi-player or other community based features like forge or custom games.

this guy is having a hard time being funny, so I'll just call him funny 2 make his life easier.

FishCake9T44971d ago

Dude WTF? CGR ownzzzzz. You should watch some of his vids on YouTube.

Marcus Fenix4971d ago

I do not hate him, I just don't find him funny.

T9X694971d ago

Reach reviews are great, but why was this approved? Linking to youtube is not allowed.

ElDorado4971d ago

it's me, but for me Video reviews are much better, cause you actually get to see it instead of only reading it.

Well, 4-Infinite dropped the ball massively so don't worry.

Sgt_Slaughter63d ago (Edited 63d ago )

Not really. 4, 5, MCC, and Infinite are only remembered for their shortcomings and failures when the franchise was purely known for being a system seller and an all-time great. There's a reason 1, 2, 3, and Reach are looked back on fondly, and it's not because of nostalgia.

FinalFantasyFanatic63d ago

I don't know of anyone that speaks fondly of the later Halo games, I would like to play 5, but I know it's not good, and I'm just waiting on Infinite to hit my strike price. I played MCC a lot later after it came out, so must of those bugs/issues were gone by the time I played it.

To say it dropped the massively is just not true. Many in the community hold H5 as the best mp mechanics in the entire series and say its what 4 should've been. Its campaign was trash but the MP is Fantastic and many faces of the community still play today and it only made 500mill in the matter of months but sure it dropped the ball massively. 4 was hated due to all the changes at once. And CoD like feature and rightful get hate but it's campaign story was liked by a majority of ppl. 343 hasn't nailed ot 100% but they get 1 thing perfect but F up in other places. Infinite had a good campaign and design but the story was a mess. The MP improves upon what Halo 3 was and is what many ppl wanted to go back to but it lacked content severely. So massively aint the word. Dropping the ball massively is when it's pure trash and unplay/unenjoyable. Most ppl blind by nostalgia so soon as 1 thing aint the same its hated cause Halo set the bar so high
FYI reach was not that good.

Dead IP, time to invent something new.

kaos8963d ago

Maybe they can have ID or one of the COD studios help 343 with this series.

Halo-Pop like Gears Pop. Halo bowling. Halo Cooking Mama. There’s a reason why you won’t hear about them
