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 think infinites campaign is a series low. There's no reason to replay it. There's 0 set piece moments, generally the same aesthetic for the entire game, forgettable characters, a world that felt empty.

It did seem like alot of fetch quests. Open world was kinda lame because halo was always moving in the past. First your in space, then on earth then on a different planet, then on the halo ring etc. I felt trapped in one spot in halo infinite. One BIG spot, but still.

It felt like they to silent cartographer and made it into a full game. So taking 1 level and spreading it as thin as possible.

Yes, couldn't have made a better comparison. Really thats why they call it halo infinite. Your in a time loop. That really cool moment where all the unsc soldiers hop in a warthog with you? Trash you get to do that all day every day! No thanks LMAO
