Lol. Halo 4? Hilarious.

You guys have obviously never played a bad game if you think Halo 4 is the worst game.
There was quite a few parts of the campaign that were so laughably bad and seemed entirely avoidable. I've show some of Del Rio's finer pieces of work to friends who aren't gamers, and even they find him completely unbelieveable and ridiculous, especially when I tell them that he is the captain of the biggest and best ship that humanity has ever made.

It's hard to imagine that anybody watching those cutscenes must have thought to themselves "Yes, this is decent and passable work." Del Rio is literally screaming his lines. Even his voice actor must have had a twinge of embarassment delivering some of them.

It's certainetly not the only part of the Campaign that's flawed either. Is it the worst Campaign of the year? Statistically there must exist something that was worse, but for such an anticipated title and the first step into a new trilogy, Halo 4 did fall flat on it's face in many regards.


Del Rio losing his -blam!- was the very point of that scene, to show that he was not a leader of men and therefore inferior to the Chief who was ready to take the initiative outside of protocol.

If you've got a guy with obvious confidence issues next to the man who is believed to be the savior of mankind, you're going to get a laughably pathetic response. Pathetic is the point they were making, I...literally don't get why that's bad.

I would laugh my ass off if I were Chief during that scene.


Confirmed for either:
A. Not understanding the context of the scene.
B. Having autism.
C. Being 12.

Yeah, no. I know that Del Rio or whoever is jumping the gun on Chief because Cortana's going rampant or something and won't let him take her or whatever. Man, I don't care, it's a terrible game with awful dialogue and equally bad music.

You're pretty much doing the same thing anyway. And to say one trying to defend his opinions and asking for reasoning doesn't make one a crybaby.

But perhaps I could get you a box of -blam!-s for your overactive menstrual cycle? Or a box of pampers for your little baby bottom? Way to prove you're a dribbling autistic.

Worst post ever made. Differing opinions and arguing about them is what makes humans humans and differentiates us from animals. The ability to think, do, and have any opinion we want.

For someome who just accused someone of being 12, you're surely not doing anything to pretend you're not twelve.

Halo 4


I was wondering when the bandwagon hate train would show up.

Look, I know you're just a guy with a tiny dong and an even smaller brain, but to say it was not a good story is laughably misguided.
lol

None of the Halo games have had good storylines.

Halo 2.

Such blind, hate-filled attacks. I thought that particular line was more than a little over-acted and ridiculously childish, even by Halo's already-low writing standards. Not all the lines are nearly as bad, thankfully, but there are a few.

On the whole, I found Halo 4's story convoluted, its characters over-simplistic, and its campaign criminally short. Of the few games I played this year, it was one of the least engaging narratives.

But the *worst* video game story of 2012 is easily the final mission and cutscenes of Mass Effect 3. It's something that will be remembered for ages.

I don't understand why you think I'm mad. You're the one who was resorting to supporting your agrument by insulting the people who weren't argeeing with you.

I'm just making fun of you for being a tool.

"I'm ordering you... TO SURRENDER THAT AI!"

Yep. Quality acting right there.


What about it is not "quality"? Are you an actor that could tell me otherwise? Because I found it good.
You don't need to be a voice actor to tell that it was a terrible performance of an even worse character. Normally you wouldn't expect the Navy to promote emotionally fragile and incompetent officers to lead the greatest vessel that humanity has ever created. It doesn't even seem like he has spent a single month in the millitary for how unprofessional and idiotic he acts.

From the moment you meet Del Rio, he reeks of insecurity and arrogance, and there are never any redeeming factors to him to try to balance out the scales. He is a giant walking cliche that makes you repeatedly facepalm at how unreal of a character he is. It's like they made him terrible on purpose entirely to make Lasky seem like a deep and interesting character in comparison.

A lot of you guys like to list LOL BAD but never really post any reasoning behind your one dimensional criticisms. If that really bothers you then perhaps you should lead by example. You praise Halo 4, but you don't post any reasoning backing it up. You say Del Rio is a deep and well designed character, but then you don't post any reasoning backing it up. It's a two way street guy, if you want reasoning, provide some yourself.

Me, I reckon The Darkness II could have had a better story. But it's been a pretty good year for games with narratives, I reckon. Catherine, Spec Ops: The Line, Dishonoured, ACIII, H4.

The only thing I was posting to say was that Halo, while not amazing or a wonderful story, certainly doesn't deserve the title of "Worst game of the year" or "completely bad story", as claimed by others.

You are assuming I meant things that I never actually said.

Yep, that is how I felt. They decided rather than work on Lasky they'd just try to make Rio look bad in comparison.

Eh. It was kinda latent with overlong, half-finished cutscenes and campy Flash-Gordon-style action scenes (spiky purple space pickle bomb, anyone?), and the campaign was missing the planned final 3-5 missions.

Thats your opinion, but you too are doing the insulting.

Anyway, I shouldn't have resorted to insulting, I know it was rather childish, but it doesn't make me a tool or an "angry person".

I handled it poorly and I'm sorry, internet guy.
