Halo 5 is currently rated lower than Halo 4 on metacritic....
That just defies all logic[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE]Halo 5: Guardians features an underwhelming, confusing and surprisingly banal campaign that's not actively bad, but equally not quite good enough to warrant a purchase on its own.[/QUOTE]
Fail.
Miserably.
86. :oldlol:
I totally forgot this crap is coming out this week, haha.

Do you ever leave that agenda in your school bag or do you just walking around with your eyes glued to your agenda schedule like 10am: must praise Halo. 11am: Kings are making the playoffs! 12pm: peanut butter jelly sandwhiches mom packed in my Master Chief lunch box. 1pm: nap time in my Sac Kings jammies 2pm: scan the net for Halo 5 reviews...
You're more dull than infomercials
The funniest thing is the reviews have come out before the online has launched
That's like only judging half of the game
So real rating + FPS bias = 93-95

Ha. I don't use Instagram, but sepia does match my skin tone. Glad I got you talking about something else than master Chief playing small forward for the Kings tho. I know its scary tackling new content that you haven't developed a hard stance on, but eventually you'll have enough topics at your disposal to be able to hold normal conversations, wouldn't that be fun?
Don't take this website too personal bud
You'll find not many do
Make sure to take some photos next time your on holiday!

Are you jealous that the man makes a living playing poker, does real estate, drives a Bentley, and probably sleeps with more girls over a weekend at Vegas than you will in your entire life?
Or are you jealous that Halo 5 won't even have a higher rating than Drake's Fortune?

[QUOTE=outbreak]Just finished playing through uncharted 2 again, still not sure why ps fanboys didn't choose to pump up that game instead of tlou. It does nearly everything better than tlou.[/QUOTE]
I have to agree with you here. UC2 is amazing.
[QUOTE=West-Side]You ****ing moron, just shut up already.
You just said TLOU has no shot at being the best ever.
According to who? YOU?! There are plenty of people that would disagree with your opinion.
You just exposed yourself with this post anyways. You ****ing named me games like Doom Half-Life, SOTC; yet these games were actually released during the internet days and NONE of them were rated higher than TLOU.
So let me get this straight you shit for brains; TLOU isn't one of the best because you have nostalgia issues and think ****ing Zelda or Mario on SNES are better games?
Sometimes I wish you could put your hand through a screen a slap the stupid out of people.[/QUOTE]
You seem really angry. :oldlol:
It looks as though your entire argument (as well as posts earlier ITT) is based on Metacritic rankings, that's all you've got? FOH. You're acting like Metacritic is some infallible deity and that it hasn't received a ton of criticism for the way that its ranking system handles video games.
What's more, Last of Us is ranked 49th on Metacritic's all-time list, so I have no ****ing idea why you keep going back to that site. :roll:
Every game that I named still holds up as a masterpiece today. They're not great games because they're old, they're great games because they were great and continue to be great.
[QUOTE=24-Inch_Chrome]My issue isn't just that you're writing off games that you've never played, it's that you keep going back and linking greatness to preference. There are games that I ****ing hated that I can still acknowledge as great games for what they brought to the table, even if it wasn't my cup of tea. Acknowledging greatness doesn't have to fit perfectly in line with whatever your preferences are.
It's still GTA with a new setting. Hardly groundbreaking.[/QUOTE]
Great post.

So why don't you post some substance for a change.
Here's an idea; write a thoughtful response to why.
1) The Last Of Us is not one of the greatest games ever developed.
2) Why these other "master pieces" actually are.
TLOU is ranked 49th, but there are only like 18 games or so with a score higher than 95. Furthermore, out of those 49 titles, TLOU has one of the highest user ratings as well.
It's also one of the most reviewed games out of the top 100.
So it's harder for it to maintain a high score.
Ocarina of Time - 22 reviews
Tony Hawk - 19 reviews
GTA - 64 reviews
SoulCalibur - 24 reviews
etc.
TLOU has 98 reviews.
It has a 9.1 user rating.
Only 10 games above it has a higher user rating.
Like I said before, look at the whole picture.
To give you an example of what I mean by more reviews = lower score.
Zelda - 99 on meta (22 reviews)
Zelda - 97.5% (28 reviews) on GR
Uncharted 2 - 96 on meta (106 reviews)
Uncharted 2 - 96.43% (82 reviews) on GR
Yet games like U2 & TLOU aren't masterpieces?
Just shut up bud.
I'd say 96.43% on 82 reviews is a hell of a lot more impressive than 97.5% on 28 reviews.
Considering U2 received well over 35+ perfect reviews.
I don't know which game is better (U2 or TLOU) my point is, they are both masterpieces and have received a lot of recognition from the gaming industry.
PS - My opinion isn't based on METACRITIC. I'm using the reviews as backup to make a point. I can write an essay on why I think TLOU is a master piece but I feel like I'll be wasting my time. This is all opinion and preference.
However, me showing you how much PRAISE the game (TLOU) has received from the gaming world only solidifies my opinion of it being an epic game.
It's arguably the best game of the PS3 generation, yet we can't call it a classic?
Phuck outta here chump.
you're trolling.
this is just unreal.
