UltimateGameGorilla: Halo Reach Review

UltimateGameGorilla: Halo Reach is Bungie's last Halo game. It is their swan song. It is filled with features. You get an amazing campaign. You get Firefight, which is Halo's equivalent to Horde mode from Gears of War. You also get one of the best multiplayer experiences around. There are so many modes. Forge is back but now it is even better than before. You can watch videos in the Theater. Bungie frequently updates the game with more features and there is DLC on the way. You can play every game mode with your buddies. There is also a ton of easter eggs and collectables. Couple all this with amazing graphics and a great overall presentation and you get one of the best shooters ever. Ya, this game is packed to the brim.

@aspho and Ultimate.

Are you 2 having a love in on N4G?

Are you the same person or 2 highschool friends just started a web site?

Why aspho did you just approve and then defend by disagreeing with all the reports the now failed story of the Ps3 being hacked ? (4 reports 1 approval)

A story terribly written giving extremely rudimentary mention of the whole (very old geohotz case) submitted by Ultimate gorilla hosted by Ultimategamegorilla.com

If anyone else would like to see such a ludicrous submission just pop along to the web site.

I'm wise to you 2.

@ disagrees, 2 disagrees hmmmmmmmm?

PS to everyone else this isn't a anti Halo post just a watch out for ancient stories and 2 best buddies pretending they are just saying well done to a fellow N4Ger.

To you 2 I don't have a problem with anyone starting out, but at least use up to date stuff and write in an in depth manner.

asphogears5216d ago (Edited 5216d ago )

To mantisimo,

The reason I approved the article on the PS3 being hacked and the reason I defended the article against all the negativity it got was that I noticed that this was a new site. I know the article did seem rushed and that it was all old information but I wanted to give this new site a break.

mantisimo5216d ago

@ aspho no it wasn't look at your and Ultimates history.

I didn't like reach. I was never into halo games and I bought Reach to see what all the hype was about and I didn't get it. I am not saying it is a bad game, just not for me. I honestly prefer Killzone and that's just my opinion.

awiseman5216d ago (Edited 5216d ago )

then why are you here?

@remember reach: You sir are a fool. Halo is NOT COD. And the armor abilities are nothing like COD. And the maps are some of the best wth are you smoking?

You claiming that you are a halo fanboy doesnt hide your undercover trolling. The only thing missing from your Comment is "I <3 Killzone"

RememberReach5216d ago

It doesn't help that you bought the worst Halo game made to date.

I was extremely disappointed by Reach. Thank God I only bought the regular version.

I'm an obsessive Halo fan. I own the books, every game, (minus H2V), etc. I was incredibly pumped for Reach (I even changed my Gamertag to Remember Reach like 2 years before the game came out.

What I got was a horrific mutilation of what Halo used to be. It tries to be Call of Duty with its armor abilities and horrible maps, and Battlefield with bloom/recoil.

I hate the game. The only thing that's kept me from selling it is that my friends and I go into Forge and screw around.

If you want the real Halo experience, you should buy the rumored Halo CE remake that's coming out this year.

kaveti66165216d ago (Edited 5216d ago )

I also didn't like Reach.

But the problems I found in Reach are extremely emphasized in the Killzone franchise.

Such as:

- Characters I don't care about.
- Poor Story
- Boring enemy types.
- Boring missions

Edit: Oh sure, they look great the first time.

But I got tired of killing the same exact enemy model over and over again.

They have the same accents. You can knock their helmets off but not their goggles, so you can't really ever see the humanity in them.

Also, I found the splicers in Bioshock to be better enemies.

Goeres5216d ago

Helghast boring? Must be some of the best looking enemies in a game, ever..

dear lord

disturbing_flame5216d ago

The difference between Halo and Killzone is just that even if Halo game is shitty it will have decent to excellent scores.

Man ODST was like the biggest shit i've played for years, and Reach was an average game, sub HD, with problems of framerates during the cutscenes, with a scenario written y a 12 old years boy.
It was like something we have played over and over from episode to episode.
I can't really understand now why we still giving perfect scores to this amount of pure garbage.

When we see ig zines like IGN or Gamespot having the courage to give 8.5 to KZ3, i'm wondering why those ig zines havn't killed Halo games, i mean Reach is one of the most overated game of all time.

nilamo5216d ago (Edited 5216d ago )

Really is is that hard for you people to say something positive about games. Stop emphasizing the negatives and at least give credits to the things these games do right.

kaveti66165216d ago

I don't know why.

Reviewers rub shoulders with developers and Bungie is one of those developers that has great rapport with the reviewers.

It's possible that the reviewers don't want to rate Halo badly because they're friends with Bungie or maybe they have a soft spot for the series.

Killzone is deserving of an 8.5 and Reach is not really a 9/10 game.

I'd rather have the reviewers retain some bit of honesty by giving KZ3 the 8.5 it deserves. On the other hand, the Sony fanboys want the reviewers to give KZ3 perfect tens across the board to compensate for the fact that they gave Halo Reach a 9.

Neither game deserves such a high score, in my opinion.

starchild5216d ago (Edited 5216d ago )

@ pixel enemy

Of course not, you're a biased ps3 fanboy.

@ kaveti6616

"It's possible that the reviewers don't want to rate Halo badly because they're friends with Bungie or maybe they have a soft spot for the series."

Or possibly they have different tastes than you. I don't agree with you, for example. Am I wrong and you right? Really stupid reasoning you got there. I hate people who think their opinion is the only valid one.

disturbing_flame5216d ago

Agree.
I think those shooters just deserve good scores in the best case, not those perfect scores.

When i played to ODST, i re-read afterwards a lot of the reviews that was praising the game, it was like a revelation, how an average game like ODST could have 9 or 10 scores ? I mean it's garbage, if this game would not be exclusive it would have been rated 70 or 60% easily...

After this huge disapointment i thought Reach was better, the real next gen HALO, Halo 3 was ok but nothing that was better than Halo CE.
before the game was out :
Perfect scores everywhere, cool, but after i played the multiplayer beta i understood how much all these reviews were biased.
It still make me laugh to see how much fanboys are blinded by their sub-hd shitty game.

LOL was thinking the same thing.

Az1mov5216d ago

Come oooonnn dudes!! now? really!...just ~5 months late, no rush

Reminder: Sep 14, 2010 realease date

SixZeroFour5216d ago

maybe they did the right thing and give the game some time rather than rush the review a day or 2 after the game gets released

Az1mov5216d ago

Nowadays, gaming journalists receive a preview copy in order to test the soft prior to the due date. However Halo reach is the kind of game that you shouldn't drag too long because of the weak engine that has been overhauled and tweaked so many times that it starts to show its age. I don't know about you but reviewing a 2010 game based on a 2007 engine in 2011 with all the fierce competition going on in the FPS genre; just doesn't seem right. Video games are driven by technology, and tech moves fast therefore you need to be quick and get the message delivered through your review while the interest and the game strengths are still boiling and up-to-date. :)
but this is just my opinion.

Regards,

shinoff2183872d ago

How'd fallout not make the list. Atleast over cyberpunk, tales , and halo. Fallout been around since what 96 98 and has 5 6 games into it. It's full of lore when you play it. I'd even add star ocean to a point.

robtion871d ago

Agree Fallout should be on there.

MadLad871d ago

And somehow Planescape Torment doesn't even make the list.

Crows90871d ago

Hollow knight surpasses these.

shinoff2183871d ago

In lore? I must be missing something

Crows90871d ago (Edited 871d ago )

Yes in lore. Easily missed... absolutely. Never played a game that had me loving the world and lore behind it as much as that one. Most of course wouldn't be able to experience it since it is a more difficult game.

DarXyde871d ago

I can't speak for all titles on this list, but by the time you get to Dark Souls III, the lore is a bloody tapestry of intricacy

Crows90870d ago

Played them all. Im not saying the games on the list dont have good lore...I just think hollow knight had more lore that is hidden but present and more easily explored and accessed. The souls games have tremendous lore but theyre mostly hidden and stay that way unless you look for it and research it. The lore is not very accessible.

DarXyde870d ago

Crows90,

I think that's a somewhat fair assessment. For me, the Souls games are less upfront about the lore, but it does invite your fascination through NPCs, items, locations, bosses, etc. There's this kind of natural progression where the picture becomes just clear enough by doing the essential tasks, but it really makes you want to explore every inch of the world.

TheColbertinator871d ago

Suikoden and Legend of Heroes also have massive lore setups.

agent13871d ago

narration is more important than lore i'd rather watch the story and characters in a more cinematic way instead of searching for notes and stuff that's why i love sony exclusive games like uncharted and gow and hate from software games

shinoff2183870d ago

The article was top ten lore in video games. I think they did a bad job picking games out. I know what you mean though. I just like a variety of games and genres.

Awesome news - so can we look forward to playing Halo: Infinite with no online issues circa 2033?

just_looken956d ago

"You can download the improved Reach AI mod at Mod DB" This was a mod 343 did nothing so the online will be fixed in our dreams.

SullysCigar956d ago

Par for the course with 343.

Profchaos955d ago

They did say they had a 10 year plan for infinite we just all assumed it would be DLC could of been a 10 year netcode rollout.

But seriously this is a mod the community won't be able to modify infinite in the same way

Cikatriz_ESP956d ago

Combat Evolved was the best campaign, and it's not even close.

just_looken956d ago

You should have tried this version of reach when it first came out remastered for a year there was no sound because 343 could not locate the sound files.

It was a special challenge.

badz149956d ago

more like the bunch at 343i are simply mentally challenged

ACEMANWISE956d ago

Well I guess 12 years is faster than most fixes. I guess this is a cheap way to "remaster" something nowadays.....by just fixing something that used to always be broken.

zidane1341956d ago

Did you even read the article? This is a mod to improve AI from back almost 2 gens ago. Nobody is claiming this is remastering anything. Yeesh.

Crows90955d ago

Halo is dead. Microsoft has other shooter franchises it cares more about now. 343 are no longer Xbox golden studio. They are likely to shift things around or even close it all together and give the IP to someone else.

343i decided to pummel the IP into the ground...and when they see it didn't quite look like Glenn's face they decided to just keep on pummeling. Not sure if Glenn is the IP or the fanbase in this case though.

Profchaos955d ago

343 were never the golden studio they were a hastily thrown together b team when bungie said we want to do something else cya

Crows90955d ago

Well ...I didn't want to say it but I agree. Makes you wonder why Microsoft gave them the IP and didn't keep Bungie or any of the talent they acquired from any studio.

CobraKai955d ago

“ Halo Infinite, Halo 3, or Halo: Combat Evolved. It’s hard to say which of the sci-fi FPS games offers the best experience all round.”
He lost me with Halo Infinite.
