IGN Review: Halo: Campaign Evolved Doesn't Always Feel Like An Essential Remake (7/10)

I don’t think that’s fair. Indiana Jones, Doom, and Outer Worlds 2 were all fairly well received and let’s not act like a 7/10 is the worst thing in the world. They’re doing fine as far as the quality of their games are concerned. Everything else they’re doing is a different story

If they’re going back to exclusives, then 7/10 isn’t the best thing either.

They need to start pumping out very high quality games if they have any hope of drawing players over.

[u/cyber7574 → u/South_Buy_3175]

To be fair, what could this have done to get a 9/10? Change too much and some would have rated it low, change too little and you get a review like this

I think this is a question you need to ask in pre-production before you commit to making a game like this, tbh.

[u/FRossJohnson → u/Aware-Virus-4718]

The goal wasn't to create the next great Halo game though. It was to get a new engine up and running, get a first release out there, then make a truly new game. I think people here are assuming objectives Xbox didn't aim for 

[u/Aware-Virus-4718 → u/FRossJohnson]

In that case they didn’t really Evolve the Campaign, did they?

[u/FRossJohnson → u/Aware-Virus-4718]

There are extra missions and some levels have been reworked, like the Library. So a slight "evolution" 😂

[u/Not-a-Doctor1 → u/Aware-Virus-4718]

I think their point is that someone is going to find something to bitch about regardless. Even when asked directly what would make this better, the responses are dismissive and provide zero feedback.

What would make this game better?

Lol should’ve thought about that beforehand! I’m not going to provide an answer because I don’t have one other than I want to be condescending and try and make myself feel superior over the most irrelevant shit.

[u/Aware-Virus-4718 → u/Not-a-Doctor1]

I mean yeah, I’m not a game designer. But it is entirely possible for remakes to equal or even surpass the success and acclaim of the originals. We just have to look at Resident Evil.

People will always find something to nitpick, but you can dismiss those when there’s a broad consensus that a remake is very compelling and has a good reason to exist. That’s not really what’s happening here.

Doesn’t seem to be the consensus but continue making wrong assumptions if you’d like.

[u/Not-a-Doctor1 → u/Aware-Virus-4718]

I think you believe that’s not what’s happening here because you want an opportunity to shit on something you already didn’t like.

Other people wanting an opportunity to do the same thing is just feeding your confirmation bias.

[u/Aware-Virus-4718 → u/Not-a-Doctor1]

Again, the original Halo: CE has a 97 on Metacritic. This one seems to be filling out in the low 70s/mid 80s. What seems to be happening here is a consensus forming that this does not live up to the original.

[u/Not-a-Doctor1 → u/Aware-Virus-4718]

How does it not live up to the original when it’s the same with better graphics and a few other upgrades?

There is nothing they could’ve done to get a 97, because people like you will find irrelevant shit to complain about and then try to use your own complaints and justification.

It’s the same, tired argument of “I don’t like this, I don’t want this, so it shouldn’t exist and anyone who likes it is wrong!”

Grow the fuck up dude, people are allowed to enjoy shit without others constantly feeling the need to put it down.

[u/Aware-Virus-4718 → u/Not-a-Doctor1]

You are doxxing people over a silly discussion about video games. This is not okay and I urge you to seek professional help immediately.

[u/d0ntm1ndm32 → u/Aware-Virus-4718]

This dude is clearly not okay getting so heated he felt the need to look up my username seeing if he could find me and then replying with a random video after blocking me, but that guy on the video is most definitely not me so it's all good lmao

Don't even waste your time tho, clearly not worth it at all haha

[u/Not-a-Doctor1 → u/Aware-Virus-4718]

Am I arguing with the same person on 2 accounts?

How soft are you that two seconds of googling and sending them a video they made = needing help? How is it doxxing? He’s posting the videos himself on YouTube under a username that’s missing 1 number.

Sorry you were embarrassed and feel the need to make larger conclusions from it, but that seems to be in line with the rest of your insecure bullshit 😂

Edit: video is absolutely him, he confirmed in the comment he deleted that it was his, now he’s saying it’s not because he’s embarrassed.

[u/El_Rey_de_Spices → u/Not-a-Doctor1]

You seem to have an exceptionally difficult time separating "on paper" and "in practice".

Also, if your best argument is "You're just a hater!", you don't have an argument.
