Halo 4 had an awful campaign, horrible sound and is a halfassed CoD multiplayer clone. Why should it win anything?

Perhaps the people at the VGA's are sane people and can see the flaws in Halo 4's multiplayer?
And people who like Halo 4 multiplayer are...insane?


No, rather the ones who will argue that until the day they die that Halo 4's "flaws" are what make it so great, and refuse to acknowledge those flaws and continue to hype the game.
So it's wrong with Halo 4 but when the Halo 2 fanboys do it its okay?

They're saving that for Halo 5, numbnuts.

It won two awards...it didn't even deserve them, best shooter? please, Planetside 2 towers over Halo 4 in that regard, and best graphics made me laugh.

No, it didn't, and there are many other titles that deserve GOTY over Halo 4.

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.

Dude planetside 2 is awesome. I love that some guy was talking about how he was fighting to defend the same area we are fighting to get yesterday. The battles go on forever.

No.

In fairness, I can't really say that it's the fault of anyone that Halo 4 was received with such a lukewarm reception. To quote Yahtzee (and take a number for your obligatory grain of salt), "No series in any form of media has ever still been good after being shaken down for sequels". Of course Halo 4 was going to be mediocre, being surprised by that is tantamount to being taken aback that your freshly laid turd doesn't smell like roses.

Nope. It won TWO awards (Best 360 game and Best Graphics) and lost out on Borderlands 2 in the TWO other awards it had a shot at (Best Shooter and Best Multiplayer).

It could've gotten four awards but it got TWO, which is half-way there. Also, Skyrim and Red Dead Redemption got FOUR awards, and those are two games that are some of the best of the generation. In other words, Halo 4 got half the awards Skyrim and RDR got, which is still an achievement in itself.

At the IGA's, Halo 4 got best sound design, best competitive multiplayer, and game of the year.

(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).

Well, either this is a blatant lie to attempt to justify your opinion, or the child was just so invoked in killing aliens that he'd say yes to anything you asked him.

How can you not say that finding the terminals or reading the novels wasn't hepful to the degree it was in the campaign (i.e. knowing why the Storm Covenant exist - and yes they play a pivotal role in the story so in essence their formation should be told about - and knowing about certain parts of the Didact's history which is primarily told in terminals which are optional to find.) Currently, the only people I have seen liking the story are ones who have read the lore beyond the games, or are nostalgic to see the Chief back in action after 5 years (which is where I fell in initially.)

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

Nope, I'd say it got exactly what it deserved.

If it won any awards except "Dumpster Baby of the Year," it was too many. This coming from a former Halo fanboy. -blam!- Halo 4.

Life is a journey, if you spend all of it with your nose in your map, you may miss some of the best parts.

OP doesn't know what multiplayer means.

Halo 4 got exactly what it deserved ... nothing!

Its not GOTY worthy from any aspect.

The game was a 6/10 for christs sake, i dont usually site metacritic on user ranks because its always biased as hell, but i was prety suprised at how bang on accurate it was for Halo 4. A 6/10

  • 12.11.2012 5:15 PM PDT

I say it got plenty of recognition. I like Halo 4, but it didn't deserve GOTY.
