That's fine. That's a conversation at least.
On the flip side, some people are saying good things about it too. Are their opinions valid or does 62 override that?

If you have an issue with a post such as warning, ban length, etc, the proper way to raise concerns is to report the post in question again with a detailed message of your concerns.
Well you're defining "get" differently , MS never got (as in owned) sumo digital and they did get lots of great studios.
Good ones lol, there's some goal post moving going on in this thread for sure. Still will probably play it with a bud, but I'd be lying if I said these scores haven't effected my hype for it.
My useless review from playing 45 minutes :
It's fun, exactly what I imagined a next gen would be like. With metro coming tomorrow I'll have to get more into this after I beat that.

The original game released twelve years ago and by most accounts this sequel doesn't add much to the formula.
This medium tends to advance fairly rapidly so my assumption is that what was considered fresh and innovative more than a decade ago is decidedly middling now.
I'll make up my own mind once I play it tomorrow but sincerely, I've been underwhelmed with just about everything I've seen of this game. It looks like Crackdown 1.5.
1. awesome profile pic
2. I would have loved to see what happened internally with SB regarding the relationship between Kamiya / Microsoft. That game had a lot of potential.
Do review threads always get this silly? Lol, those are not the only measurements of quality, don't lie to yourself.
No they aren't, Insomniac worked under Shu and Sony's 1st party side, because Spidey was a 1st party game and given 1st party treatment, it's treated no differently to Uncharted or GoW or whatever 1st party studio game. Same with Sunset on the Xbox side or Bayo on Nintendo's, there's no point in them treating them differently. 3rd party is when it's handled by a completely different corporation with no involvement for development from a platform holder.
I think it was more a request. Totally aboard with that one.
Hehe thank you!
Yes, I agree..
I was deeply sadden with SB!
IMO, the game didn't need multiplayer either. ;-/
Nonsense, gears 4, quantum break, sunset, halo 5, halo MCC, ori, and sea of Thieves have delivered.
Take the post with a light touch, I'm sure that's how it was intended.
I truly wonder what he will say when they ask him about it in future interviews.
I truly believe he had the best intentions too.
How does one have a productive discusion on this topic when viewed through so many different lenses.
Or even no bans for someone that wants to troll PlayStation fans so badly they don't even check to see if a twitter account is fake before they make a thread.
Ignore the seemingly bad-faith posts, engage the good ones. It's easy to get distracted, though.
On topic: I'm REALLY glad to hear the HDR implementation for campaign has basically no similarity to the multiplayer preview. The height-fog at the city base really kicks the presentation up a notch.
errr the MCC was a massive mess and Halo 5 got a very 'this is just another halo' reaction
They have all delivered in every way except the one that counts in MC threads: 93+ scores. /s
Probably. Just browsing the thread now, and it seems like some folks are liking what they got.
I don't know about all that I mean quantum break the game sucks
Hm, let's see...
Sunset: sent out to die, bad marketing
Quantum break: a relic of the TV era, decent at best
MCC: a technical mess of gigantic proportions
Sea of Thieves: bad launch, bad first impressions only redeemed through the help of one streamer
Halo 5: underwhelming for those who love Halo because of the SP
Gears 4: formulaic af, overstayed it's welcome, still a good game tho.
If you compare that to Sony and Nintendo and even Ubisoft..MS 1st party has definitely NOT delivered this gen unless racing games are your thing.
Sea of Thieves didn't review well, QB is in the 70s, Sunset is Insomniac, and Halo MCC was broken af until like 2 weeks ago. Halo 5 reviewed well enough but is largely derided by fans....if you need further proof see the fact that Halo : Infinite has no number and looks to be a reboot of some kind.
Chill out. Warnings and bans for 'console warring' are pathetic anyway. It's a games forum. People say dumb shit surrounding games and the platforms they've aligned themselves to.
Does not mean they did not deliver.
Those games have sold pretty well, must be doing something right.
Well let's wait for reviews of the next Halo and Gears games. ;p
Well maybe people just understood it the wrong way and it means that they want to destroy whats remaining of Gears and Halo?
As someone who loved the original Crackdown, it is disappointing reading these reviews. I still look forward to playing it through GamePass still. though.
Holy shit it's getting hammered so hard critically.
I didn't think much of it to be honest from the footage but thought it looked competent enough to reach high 70s low 80s.
I might have to read some of these reviews and find out what happened. For getting delayed so long and Microsoft pumping up the marketing I thought they would have been closely monitoring this for quality.

Whew......
Sometimes tech showcase vaporware is supposed to just stay as tech showcase vaporware.
Ive never played a crackdown game and have no love for the series given that I know nothing about it, but It's a shame that they did this to one of their biggest franchises.
I'll still give it a go.

You clearly haven't been following the development of this game at all.
The multiplayer was made by a completely different developer to Sumo, it's effectively a different game. The most recent delays were actually to allow the other dev to continue developing the multiplayer and was used by sumo to polish the campaign.
I think the Verge's review is spot on. Nothing mind blowing but it's comfort food and is very additive to Game Pass as a whole. That Netflix Original analogy is perfect.
I'll be playing Metro tomorrow, but I'll defi hop on CD3 every now and then to collect orbs while I listen to a podcast or something. I'm glad there still room for a game like that, even if it doesn't blow everyone away.

Tell me, would you recommend Halo:MCC for someone who wants to play the best version of classic Halo? Or would you warn against it because of its launch? How is its launch relevant right now? Halo MCC is one of the best complications in gaming, so it has absolutely delivered and MS can be proud of what it is today.
And no H5 multiplayer is a massive shake up, i reject that its looked upon as "another Halo". Its one of the few FPS that does things completely differently to ADS filled shooters we have today.

Sorry reviewers. If there are no game-breaking bugs you have to give the game at least an 8.0.
Well I disagree and so do millions of other people, I think MS has "delivered" on the game front.
I'd you're a fan of the original I wouldn't worry at all.
It absolutely delivers.
These games hardly delivered. Halo MCC was broken at launch and remained that way for years. Quantum Break was in the 70's, Halo 5 had the worst Halo single player ever, Sea of Thieves had a horrible launch and still only appeals to a certain audience, and Gears 4 was viewed as more of the same and highlighted why that franchise needs innovation. Ori and Sunset Overdrive are the only real good games you named that didn't have issues.
