The Campaign didn’t release in time for the Awards show. So I understand that not getting a nomination. Forza Horizon 5 is my hill to die on as to why The Game Show Awards are a farce and should not be taken seriously.

2021 MS as a publisher set the record for highest aggregate Metacritic score for the year. So while Deathloop was not out on the Xbox, or Psychonaughts 2 released on the PS4 (due to prior obligations) they still count for MS produced games.

The Halo campaign has been super bizarre in public reception too.

Everyone loved it when it released.

343 bungled their live service system and Halo Infinite was all of a sudden hated.

But.... The campaign was still great. But people's opinion on that seems to have changed too. Folks shit talk the campaign all the time, which I don't understand. It's bizarre.

I actually quite liked the bosses. I normally hate boss fights, but I liked Infinite's.

The invisible elite boss was super cool.

it just didn’t feel like Halo to me

I will say this isn't a big concern to me. I didn't grow up with Halo like lots of folks did

Bullet sponges suck.

I agree, but I didn't mind the bosses in infinite. Maybe because I was on normal. I bet they were spongier on legendary.

I beat the invisible elite boss on legendary first try, I find Legendary in Infinite is incredibly easier then past games because of how much you can upgrade and in the open world you can take whatever sightlines you want

Seriously. I'm quite good at games and always run the hardest difficulties but even I never once even dreamed about doing a LASO run in any of the other games. Infinite's LASO? Done in like three days tops.

Interesting because Halo 2 had boss fights
