A 2/10 score really stands out on Metacritic so my review will get more traffic (oh wait, that's my assumption not his written reasoning)
Anyway, what do my fellow Escapists think about the review. I myself got a bit of a laugh out of it but a lot of the things he was criticizing I don't personally think are all that bad. I'm not going to get the game anyway because I've only ever really cared about the campaigns in Halo games but I'll definitely rent it.
All I see is that someone really hates the game. That's pretty much it.
Grand scheme of things, I think one opinion does not matter. What should matter more is the overall score. In order to get an almost 90 score, you are going to need more positive votes than negative ones.
What is more surprising is that the popular opinion is dead even. Everyone that loves it, there's another that hates it. Either that's because some people are dirty hipsters who only hate the game ironically or they are getting tired of samey games.
