Yup.

The game was bad. Campaign was bad, multiplayer was fun for a week or two.

Expecting flawless products is unrealistic, and it always lead to dissapointment.


>game turns out to be a -blam!- sellout which plays nothing like the original

Please tell me how is that my fault?


It's your fault for having an asinine perspective on how the game plays, vs. what features are represented. The game plays like Halo (strafe shooter, lots of health, golden triangle of guns, nades and melee), and now it has different features (AA, Ordinance Drops, custom loadouts, none of which defines a fight's outcome). The game is the same in the same sense that you would never, ever say that Halo and Call of Duty are the same game, even if you stripped away the custom loadouts and other features. They are fundamentally different. Branching gameplay changes is inevitable, and 11 years later, you mean to honestly tell me you thought the branching features would remain true to the original Halo? If you didn't like the game, fine, but at least know what you're talking about when you come up with the reasons for why you don't like it.

It's a god damn embarassment is what it is. As soon as Bungie left, I knew that the Bungie forumers were gonna act like this. Not liking it is one thing, I don't like everything about Halo 4 either, but the zealous, burning hatred that these people have for Halo 4 is pathetic. Reeks of fanboyism, or else people who are totally blind to the reasons behind certain elements in the game (like the campaign somehow being confusing even though a ten year old down the street from my house figured it out and he never read the books).

Nope, I'm not even convinced it deserved the awards it got.

the quality of campaign

When you have a campaign that is incredibly confusing to a number of fans, its not a quality campaign.


Thats just not true. I bet most people who enjoy the Star Wars films didnt understand them until getting a greater idea of the lore.

Um, not at all. Star Wars lore wasn't even around until the movies came out, the lore was built from the movies, not the other way around.

There is just something magical about leaning your head back, letting your eyes roll into the back of your head, and taking a piss while floating in the swimming pool.

I didn't think Halo 4 compaign was confusing at all. How much hand holding do producers of movies and games have to hold Millennials hands these days? Sheesh.

I couldn't care less about the VGAs, but ME3 not winning made my entire -blam!-ing month. Though I admittedly felt a bit of sympathy for Bioware after that.

Nope.

Just remember that no matter how terrible you feel, or how much you want to let go, there are people who care about you and love you.

I don't care, really.

What other people decide is the "best" really does not concern me either way, I'm not going to start/stop playing something because it did/didn't get a stupid award.

Actually, this is relatively good. The hate level for this game is just about as much as Halo 3 got when it came out- not as much as H2 or Reach, but definitely a lot less than ODST.

Which is odd, because if you look at it, it's pretty much the opposite for Metascores.

Mass Effect 3 is my game of the year even in light of the ending of the game.


Nope.

Not really. It just wasn't good enough.

Halo 4 got what it deserved....which wasn't much.

I am a mute gamer.

I'm glad that they got screwed over. Maybe it will make 343i learn from their mistakes.

When it came down to the awards though I thought that of all the games that got screwed the most was Halo 4. First, the fact it wasn't even nominated for game of the year with the quality of campaign, sound, and multiplayer, is insulting to gamers.
BWAAHAAHHHAAAA


Borderlands 2 is the most over hyped game of the year.
BUWAHHAHAHAHAHAHA

Anyway, I feel Halo 4 got screwed. lolno

I hadn't even heard the walking dead game until the VGA's. You can imagine how mad I was.

Not very? Because nobody takes the VGA's seriously.

I acknowledge my user name is stupid. However, I promise I'm not.

Disclaimer: The latter is a lie.

I'm not fussed either way.

a little bit.

I don't think any VGA's will ever beat out the one that showed Skyrim for the first time. I nerded everywhere. So -blam!- epic.

What house has a rocket pod, has legs, and has a long narrow barrel that probably shoots something powerful?

Sounds like you're describing the lower half of my body, actually.
