This comment section is sad. "Hah I'm playing Nioh and Horizon dur hurr Xbox garbage." Apparently consoles are only measured by how many games they've taken hostage. Who the hell praises exclusives? Are you actually happy when less people get to play good games? If so, you are a sad pathetic sheep who has bought into being a corporate thrall. I'm a PC gamer and I was super happy that XCOM 2 and Wasteland 2 got ported to consoles. All this is making me think is that PS4 owners are incredibly insecure about their purchase.
I can counter quite a few of these arguments just off the top of my head. "Decent campaign" this game has an amazing campaign that I think could not have been better told if it tried. A few plot holes if you look too close but thats with any story really, so not too big of a problem. Point is it was a blast and most people would even say it was better than the recent halo games. "Limited controls" controls on both console and pc are customizable, even more so on pc of course. They are only limited by what you choose to use. In reality you can have your controls be similarly complicated to a game like starcraft 2, creating control groups, bouncing between bases and individual armies with the touch of a button, and quickly scrolling to select single units. This is limited on consoles simply because the controller only has so many buttons and needs to work a specific way but it is still decently expansive. "Bugs and glitches" Now this might be the one thing I agree with personally as some of the bugs most people have experienced have been there since the blitz beta, or even the first beta, and still haven't been fixed. These bugs are extremely infuriating at times and the only thing I can say is I hope they are taken seriously and fixed very soon. "Multiplayer dependent on luck" Blitz mode was a very unique thing that came out of nowhere and supports the players that don't care to wait on developing units before fighting. You can cycle through the cards you don't want in your hand for a very small energy cost, so you can't cycle through your whole deck without losing out on a lot of resources but this "luck of the draw" argument is kind of null and void when you can just ditch cards you don't like or need. The decks are also very small meaning you can usually get the card you are looking for just by cycling cards maybe 3 times maximum. Finally, since most uncommon cards are either leader support powers, very expensive hero units, or just alternate versions of other units, there isn't really the usual problem with card games where if someone plays more than you or pays for cards they have a definite advantage. This wasn't brought up in this video but I feel I need to address it so people understand they can play with a very cheaply made deck without pooring many hours into the game and still do perfectly fine, especially since you unlock card packs in every other aspect of the game and aren't forced to play just blitz to unlock the blitz cards. I personally would say the game deserves an 8/10, and maybe even better when the bugs are fixed and dlcs are added.
He lost credibility when he compared it to Starcraft 2.The game was designed to be an rts on the console; of course it will lack the density starcraft has. It's like comparing hearthstone to magic the gathering and complaining how simple and easy hearthstone is.
OhJay OGST why? 343 has don't more for the community then Bungie ever did. Sure halo 5 story is garbage but multiplayer wise, it's the best halo yet with the largest player base of any other halo game.
TRAYBAG926 well they can do more for the community because of the tech advances bungie never had any of that all I'm saying halo fell off it fell off way to hard I haven't played 5 in months or don't know anybody who has I played reach up 2014 and 3 up until reach came out
I hate the direction 343 did with the series. The multiplayer is not bad, but it got too boring for me and I dropped it once Fallout 4 came out. I didn't like sprint was in there, and how the game's combat was different from the bungie titles. I dislike the requisition packs, and it ruin part of the multiplayer for me cause I like unlocking armors, in this game no special shit like beating the game on a certain difficulty, I hate that armor is locked behind the RNG system. Even if i'm not big fan of the 343 titles, I couldn't even enjoy playing Halo 5 with friends cause not alot of my friends even have a xbox, even though I'm not a big fan of Halo 4, I did enjoy playing the campaign and local multiplayer at parties via splitscreen and LAN. Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't they also responsible for buggy launch of Halo MCC? That game got a premature death.
Danny Cahill unfair I guess, felt like they expected some starcraft stuff but what they don't realise is that this is literally the only AAA console rts
Should've let Ryan Mcaffrey review this his love and true understanding of what Halo is would have given this a proper score. 7.0 is ridiculous this game at its worst is at least a 8.3 and at its best a 9.1.
Someone who's a long time halo fan is biased and is more likely to review it higher based on the fact that its halo rather than judging it as a game like any other.
albozru1e 2 years isn't that big of a gap. Also, there have been roughly 12 Halo games over the past 16 years. I agree with the OP that after Halo 6 they should give it a break of at least 5 or more years.
halo 5 was way better than halo 4, the campaign in h5 is worse but the multiplayer is almost as good as reach(less fun but more competitive. Warzones trash though...
Damn this game is addicting can't get enough of it already have over 50 hours in it and still want more.Hands down best game this month just wish they had more hardcore achievements
Just because they confirmed their reasons behind canceling scalebound doesn't mean its justified. The reasons they gave were pathetic, except for one, performance. Still, they should have let the game get released, see how it sells and go from there instead of basically throwing all the money that gone into making the game (which was practically finished apparently) in the trash.
PS4 in 2017: Horizon Zero Dawn, Gravity Rush 2, Tales of Berseria, Kingdom Hearts 2.8, Yakuza 0, and Nioh. We still have Crash Bandicoot, Detroit Become Human, Spiderman, Persona 5, Days Gone, God of War, Pyre, Gran Turismo Sport, Knack 2, Drawn to Death, Uncharted; The Lost Legacy, MLB The Show17, Matterfall, Nier; Automata, Ni No Kuni II, Kingdom Hearts 1.5 + 2.5, and Final Fantasy XII; The Zodiac Age. Xbox in 2017: Failo Wars 2, Scalebound being cancelled. They will get State of Decay 2, Crackdown 3, Sea of Thieves, Cuphead, another Forza, and Phantom Dust (which is no where to be seen).
Ripa moramee Cuphead is coming to Steam, Phantom Dust and Crackdown 3 are no where to be seen, I see no hype for Sea of Thieves, and I've never heard of Rise and Shine. The only good one is State of Decay 2, but we have Days Gone to cover me on an open world zombie game.
Ripa moramee not like they are all out if we are talking about whats not out yet on ps4 then crash remaster, days gone, spiderman, last of us 2 and shit loads more mate, xbox is dead
why is this reviewer comparing Sc2, one of the best RTS games on the market to an RTS game that is made for consoles..... this reviewer is unreliable and this game deserves a higher rating, it was the same thing with the first Halo wars and its going again with the new one extrmely underrated, This game is designed as a console game first not a mainstream RTS game, such as Total war, SC2, even Wc3 , etc.
well, let me guess. Cos both of them are FULL PRICE triple A titles for RTS? Why should we go soft on Halo War 2 just because the game was dumped down to accommodate for console? Have they also dumped down the price for us PC gamers? The developers can either make this console exclusive so we don't care or if they want to sell it on PC, they will be criticized on PC standard and based on PC standard, it is at best mediocre, at worst garbage.
i loved halo wars 1 even played it on my xbox one, is 2 anything like the first one? i was skeptical to buy after playing the beta and that bullshit card game bs i want 3V3 and 2v2 and 1v1 thats it
I dont think you understand what I mean by comparing them, the difference between SC2 and Halo Wars is night and day, Starcraft has more mechanics and is extremely more harder and less casual compared to any RTS on the market. Halo wars is very casual and geared towards light play with faster matches They Will never make a version geared for pc players because of the nature of the game and how it is, its upsetting but its supposed to be fun and casual nothing too serious, and even if they did gear it for professional play I would be surprised because of how the game is. You can probably compare it to Age of empires or Warhammer, but its not above that level of casual play.
Having never played an RTS before, I liked Halo Wars 1 a lot when it came out. Unless you've already played StarCraft or any of the other really good RTS's on PC, I think Halo Wars 2 could be a lot of fun. It's accessible, and while not innovating anything, seems to have solid mechanics.
There are some great youtube reviewers out there who actually go into depth reviewing games, then there's IGN who can't do a review that lasts longer than 5 minute.
Everyone hating on halo wars 2 for trying something new while horizon zero dawn is literally the same as every other open world game with a different story but mechanics nothing has changed. Remember when a new game came out it had to do something different for it to be good but not for gamers these days they just want what they have already played just with a new skin
Halo Wars 2 is very much like the original, so I wouldn't necessarily say that it is different. But there is way too much blind hate. So many people at hating it without even playing it.
supajbroisme Halo 5 is old shit Forza is old shit Gears is old shit I don't think the XBox has any exclusives, the games I've mentioned aren't even XBox exclusive lol
By trying some thing new you mean dumb down the existing genre? This game offer nothing new to the RTS market beside dumbing down the original formula that RTS establish. Oh it is new because "oh it is an RTS on a console it must be cool" I stick with Horizon Zero Dawn anyway if I have a choice. Sadly I can't get a console just yet but when I do be sure that I will get a PS4 just to spite your comment.
+Thinh Vo Don't get a console. You'll waste your money, even with Sony (Microsoft and Sony are both really greedy companies, they don't really care about the consumers). Do yourself a favor and get a good PC for the price of a console.
Well, not failure, per se, but definitely not amazing. It's sad to see how the company which once dominated the world of gaming is now writhing in the dirt, re-using old ideas to scrape up some money to keep the company running.
Cryengine_X scorpio is going to be like a engine that has a pencil sharpener. Whats the point of buying a console with absolutely no games on it. Or buying a console and having the ability to just play all your "exclusives" on a pc anyway. Or having a console where are your big name games are getting 7/10 by ign. Please scorpio is going to bust like everything Xbox does. Sony can release a hamster wheel and it will still have 20x better games.
the point I think people are missing is that Halo Wars is meant for HALO fans. The fans are used to the shooter franchise and not all the fans are RTS players but still would love to play the games cause, well they love Halo. And combing the feel of Halo in a RTS that can be easy for a fan to pick up and enjoy after playing the game for going on 17 years of it being a fps. I think they did well and achieved that. cause it feels like Halo but at the same time it's not a FPS. So I think they did a good job.
Remember guys, this is the same guy who gave fallout 4 a 9.5. Do you really trust someone who does that? The games fantastic, if you like RTS games or Halo you will enjoy this.
Yet in 2016 they didn't had any good games lol 😂😂😂 not to mention Xbox are crushing PS4 in sales for the couple of months but they still have a catch to do
+israel guzman Uncharted 4, Ratchet and Clank, The Last Guardian, SFV, Dragon Quest Builders, World of Final Fantasy, GG Xrd Revelator, King of Fighters XIV were all fun actually and false, PS4 won in November, December and January. Keep failing kid.
mat due well maybe I don't play on Xbox or rts for that matter, but what I meant with graphics is that this looks like a mobile game compared to loads of other titles
mat due the fact that little brain is your only insult gives off the impression that you have no intention of hearing what I have to say, so there's really no point in speaking to you. Enjoy your day!
while Sony keeps putting out 9 and 10s score masterpieces this is the garbage Microsoft gives you, the RTS genre in general is garbage i can't believe Microsoft actually attempted this to begin with.
oh... I must have missed all the 9s and 10s for the last guardian. Come to think of it, I thought we weren't allowed to listen to reviews from IGN because they have TLG a 7. weird how these things work.
Comparing it to Starcraft? Well duh it's going to be shit compared to that, what very few people seem to understand is this is an RTS made for people who rarely, or never play RTS games. Yes, it would be nice if the PC version had slightly better controls, but it works and is easy to understand so anyone can jump in.
Spartan627 Accessability is not what should have been the selling point of this game. RTS games are a niche genre, one with fans who dont care for casualizing and dumbing down their games. Hell, I remember that 80% of the people I recommended Halo Wars 1 to said it looked dumb and they had no interest on giving it a chance simply because they didnt care for the genre. They should have focused on pleasing people who actually love RTS games like myself. I own 23 RTS game on PC, but wont be touching this because it is a step in the wrong direction
Because it's a niche genre is exactly why they made it like this. Starcraft 2 was probably the last RTS game to make a serious profit. Ever since MOBAs started taking over, very few RTS games have made all that much money, and in response, few developers still make RTS games. Halo Wars is a good attempt to get more people into the genre, you're numbers that most people are uninterested is debatable. Most of my friends who I'd never figure to be RTS fans, had a lot of fun with the first Halo Wars. On top of this trying to attract new fans, it's also aimed at console players who, maybe have at most 5 RTS games to choose from. I dare you to come up with a control scheme that works better than what Halo Wars has for a console RTS.
Spartan627 I guess we simply have very different viewpoints on it. Bringing in casual players who can pick up the game easily is fine, but they arent the die hard fans who will be playing it in a few years. Sales wise I guess it is good to streamline the depth of the game itself, for the sake of being on console. But, it was also released on PC, where it is among far better RTS games and provides little reason for purchase. I'm not going to lie, Im probably am going to purchase it because I have some extra spending money and know Itll fun regardless of my gripes with the game, but because I love the Halo universe so much and because Creative Assembly (they make the fantastic TW games) developed it Ill always be salty over what they could have done over what they have done.
No, I do agree with that. It could have been an AMAZING game if they focused on PC, but they didnt. Even if it doesnt get as many people to stick around and get into the genre as they want, I still think it was worth the effort to at least try.
the luck of the draw in a card game is enticing to anyone that is competitive. you have to be skillful enough to make any draw work in your advantage. basis of any card game ever.
Aidan Plays Games You're comparing a RTS with a third person adventure game. I'm not sure what you're expecting from a genre that's known for having a large amount of units on screen that take up most of the power.
Sora who cares? I never said anything about the genre of game, just the graphics. Other titles are still producing at least decent graphics for the current gen. Injustice 2 is another different genre but the graphics have still greatly improved over the original, showing a leap with console generations, while this game looks like a mobile game. Your argument is invalid for that reason.
Aidan Plays Games You're not that bright are you. The genre's you're naming can easily improve graphics because there's not much going on the screen. RTS improve the amount of things you can do on screen and increase the number of units. If you can't understand that then don't speak on the subject.
the story was actually pretty good. And this was catered towards casual rts players and for first timers who've never touched the genre. honestly they've delivered a solid game. can't wait for halo 6 and see where the brutes take us. atriox was a decent villain.
I've played about 7-10 hours so far, both in campaign and multiplayer. If you are new to RTS games, want a casual RTS like EaW, or loved the original Halo Wars, you'll feel at home with the game. It's clear this wasn't meant to be a hardcore heavy APM RTS game, which is a breathe of fresh air imo with all the hyper hardcore and CnC knock-off games. I would personally give it an 8-9.
I have an Xbox and have been backing it up for years... but now it's just embarrassing, how could you release games like this with shitty reviews when PS4 are flying... so disappointing...
Sebastian Dalessandro it's not like PS4 is "flying" they are also starting to get their exclusives with a mediocre year in 2016 but this 2017-18 are starting to look better
halo wars is at 80 on metacritic, just for reference, tales of berseria is at 79, final fantasy xv is at 81, last guardian is 82, yakuza 0 is at 82. all great games
"All too often you win or lose based on the luck of the draw other than skill." Simply not true. These are probably the words of a person that has no skill in the game type and losses often because their 12 card deck (which can be cycled through easily and quickly by the way) is not constructed well or efficiently. Win or lose I have never felt luck played a big part if any. I can always get to the cards types that I need. When I lose it is generally because my strategy was worse than the opposing team. Even when the majority of the energy drops come in beside my opponents there are always strategies to compete and win.
People keep saying the "Xbox one is bad" or "Switch to PS4 already" when they don't even try the game out for themselves, it's like saying chocolate is bad without eating one before.
It seems like Playstation players are more inclined to bash Xbox than actually play their own exclusive games. Don't get me wrong I know Ps is great but it's just their community. (Yes I know i'm making assumptions about the whole community but you can't deny that they've been cancerous in the last months)
Bet if it was a Sony exclusive we would hear the sound of gagging on the D during the review. It's a great game with a steady balance for RTS vets and those newly introduced to the genre on console.
I disagree. This game was not meant to compete with other rts games. It is clear that PC based rts games like Starcraft overshadow this game greatly, but this game is meant to give console players a solid rts game. Comparing this to PC rts games is a faulty comparison fallacy.
If you liked halo wars. You'll love this. It's not a game for everyone. Buts it's a better game than a 7/10 . There is a lot to do. The coop is good, multiplayer is great, visuals and sounds are great. Halo wars had some balancing issues that this game has fixed and the leader powers are awesome. It's a great rts but it is definitely made for console which is fair enough. But it is definitely a good game. Hope everyone enjoyed Nioh and will enjoy horizon zero dawn they look like great games 👍🏻
I usually like the reviews from IGN buy I don't like this review. maybe it's because I'm biost in the fact that I'm a halo fan since halo one, but also an even bigger fan of halo wars as its own game. I feel that as a fan of halo an an even bigger fan of real-time strategy games that this game meats all of my expectations an then some. I enjoy playing this kind of game so much so I would gladly invest hours if not months into just playing the game to be proficient. I would've atleast given it an 8.0 in my opinion.
Kevin Johnson I feel the same, feels like they expected an hardcore rts for pc only with loads of commands etc. But what they don't realise is that this is literally the only AAA console rts
I mostly play pc rts and well this game is not bad but not good and that's because this game is more of an intro into rts games with console controls limiting this game. but tbh nobody should be bashing this game as trash because this game is bringing new players to a small genre into consoles were the market is already saturated with open world rpgs (horizon zero dawn) and clunky stubborn mechanics (nioh). it also has a great story for a halo game. I feel like this game has done good to the gaming community in general. hoping to see a Playstation rts in the future just so they can rival and improve the genre in consoles. Good job Xbox.
5ergio 6arcia Are you serious? RTS genre is made for PC. Sure this might be make for console but currently all it does is just make it easier than all the other RTS on the market and that about it.
This comment section makes me want to re-figure life, its full of a bunch of sad kids who argue saying "PS4 is better, this game is shit" etc. Instead of arguing just to make yourself sound good, just learn that everyone has their own opinion and appreciate them.
I believe Halo Wars 2 should not be compare to Starcraft 2 for a number of reasons the first being that it was created to be a PC exclusive, while Halo Wars 2 was meant to be for console. I believe any game, whether being from Xbox, Playstation, and even the Wii U, should be consider with a open mind, and not comparing it to that other series. So comparing Halo Wars 2 to Starcraft 2 this Reviewer has a bias opinion, which could help the PC community who has the game, but the Xbox community, what I'm trying to point out is that when we review games let keep a open mind about it.
Jesus Christ PlayStation community please stop with the immature comments. I'm embarrassed to be in this community with so many people hating on xbox for no reason. We already know xbox has lost this generation so all that mocking only hurts the reputation of the PS community.
I have yet to play this game and I have been very excited for this. I also just want to say I feel that that was a fair review. Unlike the gamespot review which made absurd claims. This review brought up points that needed to brought and if they gave it a 6 instead of a 7 I would still feel this was a fair review. And thus I am left kid off surprised, good job ign I just got some respect for you.
Blitz mode is supposed to be won by a mix of luck and skill!!! That's the point of the game mode!! If you want to play 100% fair play the other game modes. This game deserves at least an 8 out of 10 in my opinion. The core, graphics, and expansion of the Halo universe deserves more credit and the multiplayer game modes and challenges add a lot of replayablity
People need to realize to take this game for what it is. A VERY simplistic but FUN RTS that the xbox or PS4 for that matter never really had before. So arguably aside from maybe Command and Conquer (x360 classics) there really is nothing like it. Granted i do like Halo Wars 1 better but For what Halo Wars 2 is i rather enjoy it because as stated before there really is nothing like it that is NEW and populated. Could it be better? Yeah but it's a breath of fresh air from the typical COD, BF, sports games, and AC.... It's not really comparable to anything else on the market right now for the Xbox One because there isn't a wide variety or any sort of variety at all for the RTS genre of game.
Actually it sounds perfect. I didnt want to get it based on the scores of the reviews but these people are contradicting themselves. Consoles and the idea of console gaming and plug and play, instant startup, etc. People dont want to log into windows first just to play a game and sit with a keyboard and mouse. If this game is really a fast experience then I definitely want it. I want an rts match that lasts 30 minutes, not an age of empires 5 hour game.
Jamie Hake I enjoy all 3 knob, well I used to before my xbone broke. sales for this sort of medium are important because they effect the player base and how many people are actually online.
Remember this is one mans opinion. If you liked the first one then you will most likely like this one, don't let it discourage you from buying it. If you don't like real time strategy, or never played one, this is a great place to start (the halo ties is just a bonus)
The reviewer has a point..it has no competition on the generation of consoles...which is sad because both Xbox 360 and ps3 had loads...and they were great fun too.
I disagree with this review multiplayer that relies on luck ? you know that there is a standard balanced game mode you can play right? that's why it has multiple game types , those who want a competitive game can play standard , and those who just want to have fun can play blitz mode . also i don't give a shit about the campaign , so the only thing is the mini map glitch , and that can be fixed in no time . if u buy the game for the multiplayer (which most people do ) then you will have no problem with it
I love scrolling down the comments since it has more info then the video itself XD
I beg to differ my friend.

Kolbe Howard I agree. But I gotta say, some of the insults thrown are hella funny I cant help but lol
Couldn't agree more.
It's because all the Xbox fans said PS exclusives were going to flop. And now look what happened.

Patrick Sheehan I needed to see this in the comments
along with this I would say the cutsceness are beyond exceptional
He lost credibility when he compared it to Starcraft 2.The game was designed to be an rts on the console; of course it will lack the density starcraft has. It's like comparing hearthstone to magic the gathering and complaining how simple and easy hearthstone is.
I objectively disagree with most of these points in the review.
You can't "objetively" disagree with other opinions unless you're fact correcting
*subjectively
TeamRespawn why? The game was a huge let down
its not really a huge let down. halo 5 was. halo wars 2 is pretty good to be honest.
Doddery feline Yeah halo 5 was a let down but halo wars 2 is getting horrible reviews from all over so...
When u wish bungie still made halo
OhJay OGST why? 343 has don't more for the community then Bungie ever did. Sure halo 5 story is garbage but multiplayer wise, it's the best halo yet with the largest player base of any other halo game.
TRAYBAG926 well they can do more for the community because of the tech advances bungie never had any of that all I'm saying halo fell off it fell off way to hard I haven't played 5 in months or don't know anybody who has I played reach up 2014 and 3 up until reach came out
TRAYBAG926 and the state they launched the master chief collection at was a insult to my childhood
TRAYBAG926 Halo 5's multiplayer is the worst in the series, and this is coming from someone who's been a fan since CE.
I hate the direction 343 did with the series. The multiplayer is not bad, but it got too boring for me and I dropped it once Fallout 4 came out. I didn't like sprint was in there, and how the game's combat was different from the bungie titles. I dislike the requisition packs, and it ruin part of the multiplayer for me cause I like unlocking armors, in this game no special shit like beating the game on a certain difficulty, I hate that armor is locked behind the RNG system. Even if i'm not big fan of the 343 titles, I couldn't even enjoy playing Halo 5 with friends cause not alot of my friends even have a xbox, even though I'm not a big fan of Halo 4, I did enjoy playing the campaign and local multiplayer at parties via splitscreen and LAN. Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't they also responsible for buggy launch of Halo MCC? That game got a premature death.
this was kind of a bad review
Danny Cahill unfair I guess, felt like they expected some starcraft stuff but what they don't realise is that this is literally the only AAA console rts
Welcome to ign
This game is really good its fun af with friends and a must buy definitely for all Halo fans😊🎮
AnimeFan1371 good joke this game is not fun
AnimeFan1371
It really isn't...
agreed
El Tio Cookie well then make some online on xbox it's not that hard
Mordecai R how is it not fun?
Should've let Ryan Mcaffrey review this his love and true understanding of what Halo is would have given this a proper score. 7.0 is ridiculous this game at its worst is at least a 8.3 and at its best a 9.1.
He gave Halo 4 a 9.8... I don't think he has a 'true' understanding of Halo.
Someone who's a long time halo fan is biased and is more likely to review it higher based on the fact that its halo rather than judging it as a game like any other.
in your oppinion
No more halo games let the series rest for a couple years.
Ripple Effects Well, Halo 6 and then some rest.
Ripple Effects halo 5 came out in 2015. Its almost been 2 years since another main game.
albozru1e 2 years isn't that big of a gap. Also, there have been roughly 12 Halo games over the past 16 years. I agree with the OP that after Halo 6 they should give it a break of at least 5 or more years.
Ripple Effects After Halo Reach there should have been no more halo games. But instead we got trash halo 4 and even worse halo 5
halo 5 was way better than halo 4, the campaign in h5 is worse but the multiplayer is almost as good as reach(less fun but more competitive. Warzones trash though...

Wanna hear a joke? Console wars. Why would we want to come to Playstation 4 if we know that half the community is entitled dirtbags?
Damn this game is addicting can't get enough of it already have over 50 hours in it and still want more.Hands down best game this month just wish they had more hardcore achievements
nah
Remember guys, Scalebound was cancelled for games like this.
The Shredder cry me a river
The Shredder that's a good bait
Wow and we only get 1? lol
I mean I actually enjoy halo wars but k
Just because they confirmed their reasons behind canceling scalebound doesn't mean its justified. The reasons they gave were pathetic, except for one, performance. Still, they should have let the game get released, see how it sells and go from there instead of basically throwing all the money that gone into making the game (which was practically finished apparently) in the trash.
While I'm playing, Nioh.😂😂😂😂
Hugh Mungus 😂👌
Hugh Mungus saw this spelling mistake on a logan video: are you related to huge ackman?
Hugh Mungus is there a reason we can't play this and Nioh. we're not all broke losers like you
yea... playing Nioh so much you came here to click on a xbox video.
The Microsoft butt hurt level is OVER 9000!!!!!!!!!!
PS4 in 2017: Horizon Zero Dawn, Gravity Rush 2, Tales of Berseria, Kingdom Hearts 2.8, Yakuza 0, and Nioh. We still have Crash Bandicoot, Detroit Become Human, Spiderman, Persona 5, Days Gone, God of War, Pyre, Gran Turismo Sport, Knack 2, Drawn to Death, Uncharted; The Lost Legacy, MLB The Show17, Matterfall, Nier; Automata, Ni No Kuni II, Kingdom Hearts 1.5 + 2.5, and Final Fantasy XII; The Zodiac Age.
Xbox in 2017: Failo Wars 2, Scalebound being cancelled. They will get State of Decay 2, Crackdown 3, Sea of Thieves, Cuphead, another Forza, and Phantom Dust (which is no where to be seen).
Sean McCord Cuphead, Crackdown 3, State Of Decay 2, Sea of Theives, Rise and Shine, Tacoma, Phantom Dust, and more.
Tales of Beseria isn't an exclusive
Ripa moramee Cuphead is coming to Steam, Phantom Dust and Crackdown 3 are no where to be seen, I see no hype for Sea of Thieves, and I've never heard of Rise and Shine. The only good one is State of Decay 2, but we have Days Gone to cover me on an open world zombie game.
+Ripa moramee Not exclusives. :p
Only console exclusives if they are on PC.
Ripa moramee not like they are all out if we are talking about whats not out yet on ps4 then crash remaster, days gone, spiderman, last of us 2 and shit loads more mate, xbox is dead
why is this reviewer comparing Sc2, one of the best RTS games on the market to an RTS game that is made for consoles..... this reviewer is unreliable and this game deserves a higher rating, it was the same thing with the first Halo wars and its going again with the new one extrmely underrated, This game is designed as a console game first not a mainstream RTS game, such as Total war, SC2, even Wc3 , etc.
well, let me guess. Cos both of them are FULL PRICE triple A titles for RTS?
Why should we go soft on Halo War 2 just because the game was dumped down to accommodate for console? Have they also dumped down the price for us PC gamers? The developers can either make this console exclusive so we don't care or if they want to sell it on PC, they will be criticized on PC standard and based on PC standard, it is at best mediocre, at worst garbage.
Dude you can't not compare a new RTS game to the classics. If they didn't want to be compared to Starcraft, they shouldn't have made an RTS.
dude, it's on PC as well. and it's shit, also 7 is a good rating dunno why you're mad XD
i loved halo wars 1 even played it on my xbox one, is 2 anything like the first one? i was skeptical to buy after playing the beta and that bullshit card game bs i want 3V3 and 2v2 and 1v1 thats it
I dont think you understand what I mean by comparing them, the difference between SC2 and Halo Wars is night and day, Starcraft has more mechanics and is extremely more harder and less casual compared to any RTS on the market.
Halo wars is very casual and geared towards light play with faster matches
They Will never make a version geared for pc players because of the nature of the game and how it is, its upsetting but its supposed to be fun and casual nothing too serious, and even if they did gear it for professional play I would be surprised because of how the game is.
You can probably compare it to Age of empires or Warhammer, but its not above that level of casual play.
I started playing this yesterday I'm actually loving it. Never played the first one
So do you think I don't need to play the first one to enjoy it?
@@kamil151 no, if you want a bit of context you can play the first one, but you dont have to
The first one was great
Fair review and I'm regreting my xbox one purchase
JorgeAyala lmao
halo wars 2 will probably go down in gaming history as one of the most underrated games of this gen
Profile Pic + Comment = Really tells that you regret buying it.
Go sell it and get a Switch, PS4 or PC.
Joona Ahonen I don't know anyone with that much disposable income besides myself and maybe my friend.
Having never played an RTS before, I liked Halo Wars 1 a lot when it came out. Unless you've already played StarCraft or any of the other really good RTS's on PC, I think Halo Wars 2 could be a lot of fun. It's accessible, and while not innovating anything, seems to have solid mechanics.
Finally, a reasonable response. It is a serviceable game. We should all be able to appreciate and criticize it for what it is.
The final nail in the coffin, just convert to PS4 already. You can use your Xbox to balance that wobbly chair that you have. 😂
OuterSpace90 hahahaha😂😂😂
Does it have backwards compatibility yet?
A.L. S.
Doesn't need it, we're actually getting new good games.
The PS4's games are actually getting better, so it would be quite the waste of money to get backwards compatibility.
A.L. S. Theres no need to play games that we've already put a dozen if hours into...
I'm giving this game a hard pass. The last good halo was halo reach.
Tony Burwell hope you're talking story wise because halo 5 has the best multiplayer and forge out of any halo game made and that's a muthafuccin FACT!
Matthan Sione best forge only best forge
Halo 4 was an amazing game what the hell are you talking about.
xD campaign was good i guess
Halo 4 awesome story while halo 5 had some of the best online to date for the series. Though that's my opinion
"When you always say IGN reviews are trash until they support your Sony ego and suddenly they're the word of Christ."
There are some great youtube reviewers out there who actually go into depth reviewing games, then there's IGN who can't do a review that lasts longer than 5 minute.
Everyone hating on halo wars 2 for trying something new while horizon zero dawn is literally the same as every other open world game with a different story but mechanics nothing has changed. Remember when a new game came out it had to do something different for it to be good but not for gamers these days they just want what they have already played just with a new skin
Halo Wars 2 is very much like the original, so I wouldn't necessarily say that it is different. But there is way too much blind hate. So many people at hating it without even playing it.
supajbroisme
Halo 5 is old shit
Forza is old shit
Gears is old shit
I don't think the XBox has any exclusives, the games I've mentioned aren't even XBox exclusive lol
"For trying something new" yet it's the same shit as the original.
Keep deluding yourself kid.
By trying some thing new you mean dumb down the existing genre? This game offer nothing new to the RTS market beside dumbing down the original formula that RTS establish. Oh it is new because "oh it is an RTS on a console it must be cool"
I stick with Horizon Zero Dawn anyway if I have a choice. Sadly I can't get a console just yet but when I do be sure that I will get a PS4 just to spite your comment.
+Thinh Vo
Don't get a console. You'll waste your money, even with Sony (Microsoft and Sony are both really greedy companies, they don't really care about the consumers). Do yourself a favor and get a good PC for the price of a console.
Awesome. I love Halo.
7 is a mediocre score now a days , 8 is decent and 9 is a good game , HZD is just a decent game
are you related to ryan mcaffery ?
Um HZD got a 9.3/10 from IGN...sooo by your logic its a good game...
+5ergio 6arcia Well, it doesn't matter what number score a game gets. As long as I can have fun with it.
+gio parker Maybe.....
So IGN is a Sony fanboy.
nope
they clearly are, I don't get involved in their crappy reviews often but come on a
They really aren't, seeing as they underscored SO many PS4 games it was insane.
freakin true
I'm a simple man. I see Halo, I buy.
XD sounds like me
Zelda>horizon new dawn
Tsundere Jesus Zero Dawn....Aaaaand nope.
Tsundere Jesus we'll see when zelda comes out
Zelda and Horizon > Halo wars 2
Woe, Is Me [&] uhh yea?
Tsundere Jesus zelda garbage not really Horizon zero dawn >zelda by miles
better than Horizon Zero Yawn
Tyson Hansen ps4 already got like 7 exclusive already in 2017 guess what?...its February and xbone barely have 1 and turns out to be a failure...again
Tyson Hansen good joke halo wars is pure garbage
Well, not failure, per se, but definitely not amazing. It's sad to see how the company which once dominated the world of gaming is now writhing in the dirt, re-using old ideas to scrape up some money to keep the company running.
7/10=Halo Wars 2
9.3/10=Horizon Zero Dawn
Real good math skills, buddy.
ThisGamer Guy Can you name all 7?
Halo games release on PC too now? That's crazy, I've always seen Halo as the strongest Xbox exclusive in history
***** Halo 2 is 13 years old. And I didn't say it was a bad thing necessarily, I just find it shocking that Halo is no longer an exclusive franchise
It kinda is, seeing as Xbox One, 360 and Windows 10 operate on Xbox Live.
Halo 5 is also on PC but its only custom matchmaking and thats it. Halo 6 will def be on PC and i can't wait.
+Dresit34. You forgot Halo Eldewrito! Its a free halo game run by modders.
You know nothing, Jon snow.
LOL XBOX IN 2017
you are not bright at all.
Cryengine_X scorpio is going to be like a engine that has a pencil sharpener. Whats the point of buying a console with absolutely no games on it. Or buying a console and having the ability to just play all your "exclusives" on a pc anyway. Or having a console where are your big name games are getting 7/10 by ign. Please scorpio is going to bust like everything Xbox does. Sony can release a hamster wheel and it will still have 20x better games.
Cryengine_X Lol we have games😂😂😂
I think it's a great game, but needed more cutscenes
the point I think people are missing is that Halo Wars is meant for HALO fans. The fans are used to the shooter franchise and not all the fans are RTS players but still would love to play the games cause, well they love Halo. And combing the feel of Halo in a RTS that can be easy for a fan to pick up and enjoy after playing the game for going on 17 years of it being a fps. I think they did well and achieved that. cause it feels like Halo but at the same time it's not a FPS. So I think they did a good job.
No matter what device you play your games on, I hope you have a great day :)
Remember guys, this is the same guy who gave fallout 4 a 9.5. Do you really trust someone who does that? The games fantastic, if you like RTS games or Halo you will enjoy this.
Eh, it looks alright. But I'd much rather stick to the main games, instead.
PlayStation destroyed Xbox in this console generation. It's not even close lol
Do you have stock shares in Sony by any chance?
Republic I can't exactly answer that question, but if we count console sales PS4 has 19 mio, whereas the xbox one has 11 mio.
I think you missed the point of my comment.
Yet in 2016 they didn't had any good games lol 😂😂😂 not to mention Xbox are crushing PS4 in sales for the couple of months but they still have a catch to do
+israel guzman Uncharted 4, Ratchet and Clank, The Last Guardian, SFV, Dragon Quest Builders, World of Final Fantasy, GG Xrd Revelator, King of Fighters XIV were all fun actually and false, PS4 won in November, December and January.
Keep failing kid.
This is the Xbox first big exclusive of the year? Lmfao
ScrilboBagginsGaming its not an xbox exclusive
Justin Meeks ouch
ScrilboBagginsGaming just wait until crackdown 3
Not an exclusive if it's on PC.
ScrilboBagginsGaming WWF SmackDown 2 > Halo Wars 2
i bought the deluxe edition just to play halo wars 1 again
that's like buying infinite warfare just for mwr. you don't know what you're missing out on.
Don't know much about halo, but when the video started I literally thought this was some free to play mobile game shit
it's an rts so I wouldn't assume your little brain can comprehend such a thing.
mat due well maybe I don't play on Xbox or rts for that matter, but what I meant with graphics is that this looks like a mobile game compared to loads of other titles
Aidan Plays Games of course your little brain would think that
mat due the fact that little brain is your only insult gives off the impression that you have no intention of hearing what I have to say, so there's really no point in speaking to you. Enjoy your day!
Aidan Plays Games your little brain doesn't even have anything meaningful to say lol. How pathetic
while Sony keeps putting out 9 and 10s score masterpieces this is the garbage Microsoft gives you, the RTS genre in general is garbage i can't believe Microsoft actually attempted this to begin with.
The RTS genre is garbage? Is this a joke?
Sora rts is only bad in console
it doesnt matter the score dummy what matters is if the product is profitable and yes HW2 will make decent profit in the long run
And Nintendo too, Breath of the Wild.
Xbox was a nice console to own... But Xbox1 is nothing in comparison to Nintendo or Sony.
oh... I must have missed all the 9s and 10s for the last guardian. Come to think of it, I thought we weren't allowed to listen to reviews from IGN because they have TLG a 7. weird how these things work.
Comparing it to Starcraft? Well duh it's going to be shit compared to that, what very few people seem to understand is this is an RTS made for people who rarely, or never play RTS games. Yes, it would be nice if the PC version had slightly better controls, but it works and is easy to understand so anyone can jump in.
Spartan627 Accessability is not what should have been the selling point of this game. RTS games are a niche genre, one with fans who dont care for casualizing and dumbing down their games. Hell, I remember that 80% of the people I recommended Halo Wars 1 to said it looked dumb and they had no interest on giving it a chance simply because they didnt care for the genre. They should have focused on pleasing people who actually love RTS games like myself. I own 23 RTS game on PC, but wont be touching this because it is a step in the wrong direction
Because it's a niche genre is exactly why they made it like this. Starcraft 2 was probably the last RTS game to make a serious profit. Ever since MOBAs started taking over, very few RTS games have made all that much money, and in response, few developers still make RTS games. Halo Wars is a good attempt to get more people into the genre, you're numbers that most people are uninterested is debatable. Most of my friends who I'd never figure to be RTS fans, had a lot of fun with the first Halo Wars. On top of this trying to attract new fans, it's also aimed at console players who, maybe have at most 5 RTS games to choose from. I dare you to come up with a control scheme that works better than what Halo Wars has for a console RTS.
Spartan627 I guess we simply have very different viewpoints on it. Bringing in casual players who can pick up the game easily is fine, but they arent the die hard fans who will be playing it in a few years. Sales wise I guess it is good to streamline the depth of the game itself, for the sake of being on console. But, it was also released on PC, where it is among far better RTS games and provides little reason for purchase. I'm not going to lie, Im probably am going to purchase it because I have some extra spending money and know Itll fun regardless of my gripes with the game, but because I love the Halo universe so much and because Creative Assembly (they make the fantastic TW games) developed it Ill always be salty over what they could have done over what they have done.
No, I do agree with that. It could have been an AMAZING game if they focused on PC, but they didnt. Even if it doesnt get as many people to stick around and get into the genre as they want, I still think it was worth the effort to at least try.
guess this just prove a controller is a bad device for a rts.
the luck of the draw in a card game is enticing to anyone that is competitive. you have to be skillful enough to make any draw work in your advantage. basis of any card game ever.
This looks like trash, is what was thinking when I first seen this game. Now that I've seen reviews TRASH confirmed!
Aidan Plays Games You're comparing a RTS with a third person adventure game. I'm not sure what you're expecting from a genre that's known for having a large amount of units on screen that take up most of the power.
DandreFalcon You shouldn't trust this review. Just because only 2 reviewers gave it average scores, that doesn't mean the game is trash.
Sora who cares? I never said anything about the genre of game, just the graphics. Other titles are still producing at least decent graphics for the current gen. Injustice 2 is another different genre but the graphics have still greatly improved over the original, showing a leap with console generations, while this game looks like a mobile game. Your argument is invalid for that reason.
Aidan Plays Games You're not that bright are you. The genre's you're naming can easily improve graphics because there's not much going on the screen. RTS improve the amount of things you can do on screen and increase the number of units. If you can't understand that then don't speak on the subject.
Sora It's an RTS. It's not supposed to have good visuals.
the story was actually pretty good. And this was catered towards casual rts players and for first timers who've never touched the genre. honestly they've delivered a solid game. can't wait for halo 6 and see where the brutes take us. atriox was a decent villain.
but if this was a sony franchise it would get 8.5
NickTheGeek No because Sony does that make shit games like this. They take their time.
Lol.... what was that in english?? Or you just living up to your name??
NickTheGeek *not
Happy?
NickTheGeek
Awww, boo hoo XD
Horizon zero dawn looks sick.... whos getting it day one with me...
I've played about 7-10 hours so far, both in campaign and multiplayer. If you are new to RTS games, want a casual RTS like EaW, or loved the original Halo Wars, you'll feel at home with the game. It's clear this wasn't meant to be a hardcore heavy APM RTS game, which is a breathe of fresh air imo with all the hyper hardcore and CnC knock-off games. I would personally give it an 8-9.
I have an Xbox and have been backing it up for years... but now it's just embarrassing, how could you release games like this with shitty reviews when PS4 are flying... so disappointing...
Sebastian Dalessandro Didn't realise a 7 was bad :P
Sebastian Dalessandro it's not like PS4 is "flying" they are also starting to get their exclusives with a mediocre year in 2016 but this 2017-18 are starting to look better
halo wars is at 80 on metacritic, just for reference, tales of berseria is at 79, final fantasy xv is at 81, last guardian is 82, yakuza 0 is at 82. all great games
8 hours? It took me 4 - 4.5 hours.
looks like some crap I would get on ps plus and never dl lmaoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Halo Wars 2>Zelda
Heh... nice joke, my friend. Nice joke.
The new Zelda is a joke
Ok. I can see the flame war coming. Let's get this over with.
What are your reasons?
Chief l30 Joke?!?! JOKE!?!?!
ed1rko17 Can I get what you're smoking?!
I'm considering picking it up. I enjoyed the demo back in 2017.
Is it available on Game Pass?
I give it an 8.6
"All too often you win or lose based on the luck of the draw other than skill." Simply not true. These are probably the words of a person that has no skill in the game type and losses often because their 12 card deck (which can be cycled through easily and quickly by the way) is not constructed well or efficiently. Win or lose I have never felt luck played a big part if any. I can always get to the cards types that I need. When I lose it is generally because my strategy was worse than the opposing team. Even when the majority of the energy drops come in beside my opponents there are always strategies to compete and win.
You cannot call media bias on IGN they favor Xbox, IGN gave HW2 7.0 ROTFL LOL 😂😂😂😂
People keep saying the "Xbox one is bad" or "Switch to PS4 already" when they don't even try the game out for themselves, it's like saying chocolate is bad without eating one before.
It seems like Playstation players are more inclined to bash Xbox than actually play their own exclusive games. Don't get me wrong I know Ps is great but it's just their community. (Yes I know i'm making assumptions about the whole community but you can't deny that they've been cancerous in the last months)
Happuhkilling that counts for both sides.
How is it hard to micro mange when you can cycle through all of your selected units?
and group units, which he didn't even mention. This was a terrible review and didn't go in depth at all.
Bet if it was a Sony exclusive we would hear the sound of gagging on the D during the review. It's a great game with a steady balance for RTS vets and those newly introduced to the genre on console.
I like the commercial when he says "hey what are you listening to? Music?" Haha
thank God scalebound was cancelled for this
I disagree. This game was not meant to compete with other rts games. It is clear that PC based rts games like Starcraft overshadow this game greatly, but this game is meant to give console players a solid rts game. Comparing this to PC rts games is a faulty comparison fallacy.
It's really good! I'm enjoying it much more than the first
I just wish it had the flood in it
Ayy Lmao Wish granted
That One Swarm Drone is it really good? Im thinking of gettinv it while the Blsck friday sale is going on
7.0: Too much Halo, not enough Wars.
Halo 5 multiplayer > Any PS4 multiplayer
If you liked halo wars. You'll love this. It's not a game for everyone. Buts it's a better game than a 7/10 . There is a lot to do. The coop is good, multiplayer is great, visuals and sounds are great. Halo wars had some balancing issues that this game has fixed and the leader powers are awesome. It's a great rts but it is definitely made for console which is fair enough. But it is definitely a good game. Hope everyone enjoyed Nioh and will enjoy horizon zero dawn they look like great games 👍🏻
I loved the first game. Hated HW 2. Its just way too different in every aspect to get used to.
I usually like the reviews from IGN buy I don't like this review. maybe it's because I'm biost in the fact that I'm a halo fan since halo one, but also an even bigger fan of halo wars as its own game. I feel that as a fan of halo an an even bigger fan of real-time strategy games that this game meats all of my expectations an then some. I enjoy playing this kind of game so much so I would gladly invest hours if not months into just playing the game to be proficient. I would've atleast given it an 8.0 in my opinion.
Kevin Johnson I feel the same, feels like they expected an hardcore rts for pc only with loads of commands etc. But what they don't realise is that this is literally the only AAA console rts
Limpis agreed 👌👌
The game is very good for what it's supposed to be: an easy to pickup console RTS game
Biased review
lol
Papa Burgundy But they didn’t.. At all.. That’s why it’s a biased review. And I can tell you are a ps4 fanboy
I honestly feel sorry for Xbox One owners. It's just getting depressing and sad at this point.
I didn't even know this was coming out
One of the best RTS games ever made
I mostly play pc rts and well this game is not bad but not good and that's because this game is more of an intro into rts games with console controls limiting this game. but tbh nobody should be bashing this game as trash because this game is bringing new players to a small genre into consoles were the market is already saturated with open world rpgs (horizon zero dawn) and clunky stubborn mechanics (nioh). it also has a great story for a halo game. I feel like this game has done good to the gaming community in general. hoping to see a Playstation rts in the future just so they can rival and improve the genre in consoles. Good job Xbox.
Im concered about the PC version , is the mouse and keyboard option well implemented?
I hear it's better than the Xbox controls, but that really isn't saying anything. Haven't played the game myself, though.
5ergio 6arcia Was that a sick burn or just a question?
5ergio 6arcia it's fine, scrolling and grouping is meh but it's good
5ergio 6arcia Are you serious? RTS genre is made for PC. Sure this might be make for console but currently all it does is just make it easier than all the other RTS on the market and that about it.
T R I G G E R E D If a genre is first made on PC, it was made for PC.
This comment section makes me want to re-figure life, its full of a bunch of sad kids who argue saying "PS4 is better, this game is shit" etc. Instead of arguing just to make yourself sound good, just learn that everyone has their own opinion and appreciate them.
7.0, I saved 3 minutes of your life.
I believe Halo Wars 2 should not be compare to Starcraft 2 for a number of reasons the first being that it was created to be a PC exclusive, while Halo Wars 2 was meant to be for console. I believe any game, whether being from Xbox, Playstation, and even the Wii U, should be consider with a open mind, and not comparing it to that other series. So comparing Halo Wars 2 to Starcraft 2 this Reviewer has a bias opinion, which could help the PC community who has the game, but the Xbox community, what I'm trying to point out is that when we review games let keep a open mind about it.
This is just a bad review from ign.
Whenever I hear someone reference 'luck of the draw' deciding competitive matches, I immediately put them into the 'garbage at games' barrel.
I hear xbots heavy breathing in the comments 😆
Biased ps owner who thinks ign is a credible source 😆
Ayy Lmao but it triggers uou doesn't it lol
Jesus Christ PlayStation community please stop with the immature comments. I'm embarrassed to be in this community with so many people hating on xbox for no reason. We already know xbox has lost this generation so all that mocking only hurts the reputation of the PS community.
I have yet to play this game and I have been very excited for this. I also just want to say I feel that that was a fair review. Unlike the gamespot review which made absurd claims. This review brought up points that needed to brought and if they gave it a 6 instead of a 7 I would still feel this was a fair review. And thus I am left kid off surprised, good job ign I just got some respect for you.
Maestro Jeffay here take my like that I gave you. I enjoyed your honesty.
Maestro Jeffay Some of his points are subjective, keep that in mind.
If anyone wants to know who has the most mature fanbase out of Sony and Microsoft, just read these comments and you can see.
To everyone who is fighting over which shitbox is better, PC MASTERACE.
Blitz mode is supposed to be won by a mix of luck and skill!!! That's the point of the game mode!! If you want to play 100% fair play the other game modes. This game deserves at least an 8 out of 10 in my opinion. The core, graphics, and expansion of the Halo universe deserves more credit and the multiplayer game modes and challenges add a lot of replayablity
i have a ps4 not an xbox one. But still, every big console needs some respect!!
People need to realize to take this game for what it is. A VERY simplistic but FUN RTS that the xbox or PS4 for that matter never really had before. So arguably aside from maybe Command and Conquer (x360 classics) there really is nothing like it. Granted i do like Halo Wars 1 better but For what Halo Wars 2 is i rather enjoy it because as stated before there really is nothing like it that is NEW and populated. Could it be better? Yeah but it's a breath of fresh air from the typical COD, BF, sports games, and AC.... It's not really comparable to anything else on the market right now for the Xbox One because there isn't a wide variety or any sort of variety at all for the RTS genre of game.
Damn that blows, onto horizon ^_^
You're honestly using an ign review as a credible source for the quality of a game. Get out
Ayy Lmao HOW THE HELL IS YOUR CHANNEL VERIFIED when you have 800 subs and 24 vids?!?!?!?!
ADRIBOY01 ikr
Ayy Lmao Your honestly writing the same thing to someone to believes Horizon, or any other PS4 exclusive is better because they use IGN.
Ayy Lmao ok now i know how you're verified i read about you lol
Cutter has personality and the 3 Spartans are 10000x better than team Osiris
Yeah not "interchangable"
I genuinely feel bad for people who exclusively play xbone. hahaha exclusively, such a funny word.
Stop liking your own comments
Ayy Lmao didn't realize I did. liked your's instead this time (:
Actually it sounds perfect. I didnt want to get it based on the scores of the reviews but these people are contradicting themselves. Consoles and the idea of console gaming and plug and play, instant startup, etc. People dont want to log into windows first just to play a game and sit with a keyboard and mouse. If this game is really a fast experience then I definitely want it. I want an rts match that lasts 30 minutes, not an age of empires 5 hour game.
halo wars 2 > horizon zero trash
What now, Water is dry?
yeah you are right Horizon is zero trash its a good game. Its your opinion that you think horizon is not as good as HW2. I like Horizon much better
Jose Pardo
ps4 sales >>>>>> xbone
ps4 games >>>>>> xbone
"horizon zero trash"
Yup, you got rekt. You mean that Horzion is 0% trash. Which means it is a masterpiece.
Jamie Hake I enjoy all 3 knob, well I used to before my xbone broke. sales for this sort of medium are important because they effect the player base and how many people are actually online.
Remember this is one mans opinion. If you liked the first one then you will most likely like this one, don't let it discourage you from buying it. If you don't like real time strategy, or never played one, this is a great place to start (the halo ties is just a bonus)
im playing Nioh..waiting for zero dawn and nier automata..feels good to be an xbox owner oohh sorry i mean PS4 owner..hahaha
John Blake Why did you even click on this video?
goezert just to see how bad this game is thats all.
John Blake a 7.0 is pretty good tho
The reviewer has a point..it has no competition on the generation of consoles...which is sad because both Xbox 360 and ps3 had loads...and they were great fun too.
Halo is so trash now! It's only a shell of its former self... so glad I switched to PS4.
your profile picture matches how i felt reading your commet
I disagree with this review
multiplayer that relies on luck ? you know that there is a standard balanced game mode you can play right?
that's why it has multiple game types , those who want a competitive game can play standard , and those who just want to have fun can play blitz mode .
also i don't give a shit about the campaign , so the only thing is the mini map glitch , and that can be fixed in no time .
if u buy the game for the multiplayer (which most people do ) then you will have no problem with it
