...this game was quite sentimental for me, considering Ive been playing the halo games since i was small, yet even though I want to throttle yahtzee like the fanboy I am, i can't help but agree with him...
I'm not sure that's a reference. In Halo, ONI simply stands for "Office of Naval Intelligence."Azaraxzealot said:
Also, inb4 inevitable Half-Life bashers :\
I expected it to be torn apart, but oh well. I found it stale shortly after the first level of my rental tour, but I keep hearing good things about the ending...might be worth playing more just to see it.
Lot of C-word usage in this review, can't say I felt it did anything beneficial.

You bastard! You totally ruined the plot for me! I didn't see that ending coming becuase I'm borderline retarded with attention deficit dis.... OOOO! SHINY!
Well, it wasn't as bad as just shouting into the microphone at how shit the franchise was and he at least had a few positive things to say on the matter. True, he still has a lot of negative things to say about the game and then some but it wasn't as intense as I was expecting and he did at least have one or two positive things to say about it.
Still, I think it really isn't fair for him to overlook Firefight and Forge World. I mean those aren't primarily multiplayer things and were major parts of the game.
Still as it stands, I do agree with him on one or two points. Halo: Reach is by no means perfect in terms of single player but it does still have some competent moments. I would also disagree with him on a few points but that's just the die hard fan in me talking.
In any case I had some laughs and I don't see this review becoming the new flagship for the Halo Hate Brigade anytime soon, so that's good too.
So yes, it is ultimately a negative review but it wasn't scathing and it was entertaining to watch, that's really all you can ask for in situations like this and Yahtzee delivered.

Well I'll be damned, he wasn't the only one who noticed it was Halo 3 with Jetpacks XD
Either way well done Yahtzee, you seemed to have said alot what I was thinking about this god awful game ¬_¬
However I will say the ending was a bit gripping, but that's like saying the last 10 mins in superbad make up for the crapfest

They've been referencing ONI for as long as they can in Halo...JeanLuc761 said:
The entire organization 'Office of Naval Intelligence' is one big reference to ONI.
When he started talking about Halo fans who are megacunts, all I could think of was "Wait, how does he know what my friend is like so well?"
I thought there was more ripping out guts of the game, but at least it shows that you got a hearth for some changes Yathzee. 
At least he can hope for never looking again at a Halo game again. Maybe this was the motivation: To give it a nice goodbey.

Nice review... Seems you didn't hate it as much as most of us probably anticipated. Though I still imagine a few fanboys will be planing your assassination for you not calling it the God of all gaming.
That being said... I don't yet have an opinion on it. Been trying to play it but its my brothers copy and that bastard keeps taking it to work with him so I need to catch him for it. I'll give the game a try but I'm not really all that into Halo. I don't hate the franchise but its certainly not at the top of my to play list.
I'm mostly waiting to play the new Castlevania and Fable III.

Waitwaitwait...
Bungie is making an Oni sequel?
Was that just a throwaway line, or this actually happening? Because such a thing has the potential to make me one very happy individual.
Yeah... that one line kinda distracted me from the rest of the video.

I am actuly amused over the fact that yahtzee actuly "liked" a game that has been wanked so much upon now the last years! does this prove that bungie are indeed gods?
