Bungie Weekly Update

A far cry, eh?....

I actually recall Frankie getting excited about Halo 2's water in one of the updates last year...

 

This one?

the first part of the quote

 

Yeah, I've learned to not pay much attention to Frankie's opinions in the Weekly Updates. He hyped the hell out of Halo 2, and I found that his tastes are somewhat different than mine. He's also one of the weakest Halo players out there, so I don't trust his gameplay opinions either, at least as far as competitive play goes.

However, I know it's his job to hype the game. It's just that I also know the game will be different than what he says it will be.

true

Halo 3 will probably suck

 

Yeah. Just like Halo 2.

 

I don't think Halo 2 sucked. However, I felt it didn't live up to the hype.

Pipo's link sort of illustrates my point. Critics gave it a 95. Users gave it a 79.

 

I agree, though Halo 2 was good it was a step down from the first game. I don't think any game could live to the hype Halo 2 was getting. I'm keeping my feet on the ground for the third one. That way I'll be pleased even if it's "only" a great game instead of something godlike.

 

well yes, not everyone appreciates the game type nor did they appreciate the story of Halo2, but USER scores mean squat since many people like to skew those in the opposite direction just for kicks even if they never played the game.

And MP is where it shined as evidenced by it being the most popular and frequently played online console game of all time (in terms of number of users and games)

To be honest there are a whole bunch of users giving it 0 points. Metacritic works best if you ignore the f@nboys (both Xbox and others) and just look at the critics.

I mean it's reviewed by 91 'official' sites / mags, so the outcome is saying something. Even if you take it with a load of salt it's a good score.

 

*goes and adds a few more 0's to the user reviews* >:} muhahahahahahha!!!
