Hero-of-Time Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 No Halo 2? Nah, I don't own it and there is no remake. Luckily, it's the weakest of the main games, so I don't mind missing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shorty Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I'mma assume you meant ODST. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hero-of-Time Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Weaker than Reach? Indeed. I quite enjoy Reach and ODST, even though both are stupidly short. I finished ODST in one sitting yesterday, taking only 3 hours to complete! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cube Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 ODST is actually my favourite one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I like them all, although i agree Halo 2 is probably the least memorable. But you can pick it up for like £5 now, so it seems a shame not to add it to your playthrough. You've got 6 days to do it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could have been so much more. Why wasn't this in the game? Stupid Arbiter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hero-of-Time Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 I see all of the reviews are starting to pour in. I expect many 8's and 9's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegoMan1031 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 IGN have given it 9.8! Basically saying its better than bungies efforts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorty Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 It's IGN. It just means they got a bigger bribe than they did from Bungie. I'll wait to hear from a credible source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Metacritic currently has it on 91/100 (from 37 reviews), so i don't think IGN are that far off. I'm going to struggle putting this off until it comes down in price. Might put this on my xmas list in fact.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murr Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Got the Tuesday off for this, Just hope Amazon don't fail me. Normally pretty good and get the game early. Sods law this is the one that arrives a day late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorty Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Honestly why would you go with amazon if you want it early? Use shopto like everyone else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually on big games they hold the shipment back. Saying that I got Resi 6 on the Saturday despite it being released on the following Tuesday.

Dcubed Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 (edited) I see all of the reviews are starting to pour in. I expect many 8's and 9's. Given all the events that have happened recently... http://wosland.podgamer.com/the-wainwright-profile/ http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=497024 And the storied history of the mainstream gaming media's journalistic "integrity", you'd be a fool to trust any Halo 4 review (or indeed any review of a major title) Edited November 1, 2012 by Dcubed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hero-of-Time Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 My mates copy from Play got shipped yesterday and Shopto have started processing orders. We may get it early after all. Played through and finished Halo 3 yesterday, took 2 and a half hours! I thought it was a lot longer than that. The graphics on that game haven't aged well at all. The environments don't look that bad, but man are the character models ugly. It's hard to believe Halo 4 is running on the same hardware. Games wise thats me sorted. I now just need to get through 1 and a half to be up to speed with the story. Clearly this isn't gonna happen, especially if the game lands early. I will try and finish the first book by tomorrow and then see if the game arrives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rummy Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 I've been asked if I might be getting this, and I know nothing about it. Has anyone tried it? Can online be played? My biggest question would be how does the multiplayer compare to Halo Reach? Is it going to be similar in the credits system, or is it going to use the ever more common method of levelling 'up' with points, getting better stuff etc that makes you better as you play more? I'd be put off by a system that rewards you too advantageously for playing more as I find it widens the gap between good players and less experienced ones.

My shopto order has been processed too, but they generally wait till Monday to ship games that are launched on Tuesday. It happened with Reach, Gears and every other global release I can think of. When the launch date is Friday, then I tend to get them early though so fingers crossed for the Wii U. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hero-of-Time Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 How do you find the time to play so much? No Idea. I have a full time job and other stuff to do like going to gym and Church commitments afterwards. I watch very little TV though, with only the likes of Supernatural, Red Dwarf and various footy matches. So maybe it's the lack of watching TV that allows me to do more gaming.
