CnC said:hehe. Easy there, sparn. While not getting too much into it, I think Halo is a good game and deserving of its score in famitsu.
The combat concerns me too. But i hope its a situation where if you're in combat to begin with, you fucked up. We'll see when the rest of the reviews come in.
As for Jade Raymond, I'd be more peeved of I felt her place in the spotlight was completely undeserved, but it seems like she knows her shit. So again, we'll see when the reviews come in but I don't see any more reason to be more harsh on her than on people like Cliffy B, the DOA guy (who's name escapes me), American McGee, etc.
This sort of thing can be found in any aspect of the entertainment industry, really.
HawaiianStallion said:The combat is based on timing and positioning. You've got your main hand weapon and then your free hand to grab. Basically you wait for your enemy to attack a lot of times to dodge them, throw them off balance, and then move in for the kill. Not to mention its one hit kills so its not gonna be a cake walk if the AI is super aggresive (especially in higher difficulties).
Sparnage said:Sounds like you're hoping for a Thief like game. I never played any of the Thief trilogy myself, but I hear they're awesome. Hopefully I'm wrong about it and they'll be a great play.
Unfortunately I don't trust these guys' reviews that much, but I hope they're right.

CnC said:Well it looks like IGN doesn't like it either (EDIT: 7.7 -not TOO bad, I guess). Man this is getting some strange fluctuations in review score.
Guess it boils down to how much you trust that famitsu score.
Aazealh said:Damn... Even though that's not awful, I can't help but be a little disappointed, the game was really promising... Oh well, be sure to tell us what you think of it whenever you get it!
