First Reach reviews are out....

[Stollos]

Can't wait till I get it, though I won't be able to afford it OR make time for it until next week some time (at best). Wanna drop feet first into Legendary campaign with an rl mate of mine over xbl, and after that, either piss around in some social slayer or in the new forge. Probably forge.

We are building consensus, try again later.

Speaking of which, did you see Legion's dossier?

I sadly to do not have the efficient number of credits to buy the DLC at this present moment.

I'l definatly get the DLC eventually though, looks great.

 

[oveper]

I finsihed the game yesterday and loved it. There were a few things i didnt like, but it is definatly a game I recommend.

He's got mad skillz, I know. Not so good at the romance simulators.

 

[ToMuchAtOnce]

Wish I could get it but that means I can't get Enslaved Odyssey to the West in October. Because money takes a while to get round to me; being 16 and jobless. I'm sure it's a great shooter and amazing fun online; but in complete honesty I need a new game that isn't a FPS or 3Ps. With a good single player that is longer than 5-7 hours. So I'm going to wait for Enslaved, and hope to god it's as good as it looks at the moment.

 

[Lunar Templar]

I can't wait for the uber-hype machine to kick into overdrive.

10/10s! Record breaking!

Aaaand....it'll all be for a game of a genre that is thoroughly stagnant.
I for one, am planning on ignoring it as best I can; if only to preserve my sanity.

seconded, never liked Halo to start with, but i see it going down hill from here, as i heard REACH is the last game to be made by the original team

 

[cornmancer]

I'm psyched, but I'm waiting for a price drop since I don't have xbox live and only do multiplayer with my friends.

 

[GuerrillaClock]

Definitely very excited for it. Really, it was never going to be anything less than excellent, and the general consensus I'm getting from the reviews is that it's kind of a greatest hits setlist of Halo's best set pieces from throughout the series, with a few new twists and refinements, which is exactly what it should be. It does look like a truly fantastic experience, and I'll be eagerly awaiting the postman on Tuesday morning.

My mind is boggling at the amount of multiplayer options there are, I feel I may be playing it until my puny human brain turns to mush.

 

[StonkThis]

That many perfects? I hate when fanboys review things. I expect it to be the same thing as halo 3, but with some extra gimmicks, just like ODST. I'll get it, but I doubt I'll get much from it.

 

[Vilcus]

I don't have school ever again (until I decide to go to college or university), but I'm not doing the midnight release thing, mainly because sleep is nice. I'll probably go trade in some games at Next Level Games on Tuesday, and if they have a copy I'll buy it there (luckily they're not very well known in Saskatoon, so they should have a copy).

 

[Vykrel]

Not sure, I'm tempted to get it but I really didn't like ODST and I've been lukewarm to the multiplayer of halo since 3.

think about what you just typed...

 

[Johnnyallstar]

I'm only really excited about forge. The possibilities are amazing, and my picky anal personality loves just how much easier it is to perfectly line things up than Halo 3.

 

[Balobo]

It's not that the fanboys are reviewing it...

it's that they must give it a perfect score or else the fanboys will burn the site down.

 

[Eisenfaust]

i'm going at midnight, but i have lectures the next day! RAGE! still, this is probably more important... *shifty eyes*

 

[MiracleOfSound]

Same here!
Ah, this is going to be fun!

I know! I have that same excited buzzy feeling I had last year just before MW2 came out!

 

[Ridgemo]

The only people more annoying than Halo fanboys doing perfect reviews i find are the people who love to spout off how much this Halo will suck before they've even played it.

 

[obliviondoll]

Oh dear, how sad, I'm on PS3.

Am curious about the story (and how much of it ties in with the "Fall of Reach" novel, because I quite liked it), and will probably play it at some point on a friend's XBox, but no big deal to me.

My favourite current-gen shooter is still Resistance. Mainly because it's the only game where you can't just walk along and say "Oh look, a Rocket Launcher! Only a couple more rooms to the boss fight then."

You can carry EVERYTHING at once. Realism's nice and all, but it's not always necessary. And sometimes it requires bad level design (which, for me, breaks immersion more than being able to carry enough ammo to kill a medium-sized country)

 

[Jasper Jeffs]

It looks somewhat entertaining, I'm considering buying it because I've got about 5 games I want to trade in and I'm bored of playing COD with my mates (it's the only game we all have), and they're buying Reach, so I might buy it just to fuck around in Forge/Co-op with them, that's all we did on Halo 3. The actual multiplayer is overrated, although I heard melee has been nerfed a little, but that doesn't matter. I just want small, arena styled maps. That's the only time FPS's are fun, fuck huge realistic battlefield warfare, it's shit. Gief shotgun, bunny hops and a map shaped like a box.

Definately get the Shadow Broker, best one by far and the end of mission reward is the best thing ever

 

[FinalDream]

Reviews? Huh, all i have read online are fanboy love letters...

How can you award a game 10/10 and then go on to say (IGN UK)

"But if you're playing Halo for a well-told story you're frankly in the wrong place'

Seems odd to me....
