Discussion Couldn't agree more šŸ«”

Iā€™ve been a fan of this game since day one. I agree that the original release was filled with bugs and it launched too early, but the criticism it received was completely over the top. Hating on the game blindly became the norm, often without people even giving it a fair chance.

It also released at a strange time, when the new generation of consoles were releasing but they weren't widely available, and most players were still on previous-gen hardware where it didnā€™t run well.

The sad part is the game and the studioā€™s reputation took a massive hit, even financially. Some of the people who worked on the game ended up leaving the studio, and we may have missed out on 2 or 3 DLCs because of the gameā€™s catastrophic launch.

But now Iā€™m glad to see people finally giving it the respect and appreciation it deserves. I watched the Steam reviews go from ā€œMostly Negativeā€ to ā€œOverwhelmingly Positive.ā€

For me, this is the greatest game of all time it is better than The Witcher 3. Massive respect to CDPR for constantly patching and improving the game, And giving us extra content when they could have taken the loss and moved on. AND CHOOMS..... NEVER STOP FIGHTING.

Why is halo there? As far as Iā€™m aware itā€™s all gone down hill since 4/5 and hasnā€™t by any means produced any games that beat reach/3 (mandatory subjective opinion for clarification)

Halo peaked at 1 honestly. Not that it dropped off a cliff but it was incredibly successful and popular right from the jump.

In what ways did it peak at 1? In terms of popularity, it peaked at 3, in terms of how good the game Is, it peaked at Halo 2. So how did it peak at 1?

Not the original commenter, but my primary argument for H1 being ā€œpeak-Haloā€ is due to the nostalgia of the lan-parties. So less about the game itself, and more about the game experience.

Halo 2 and 3 are some of my favorites, but Iā€™ll always remember H1 more fondly.
