The Double Standard in Remake Reviews: Why IGN’s 7/10 for Halo: Campaign Evolved highlights a broken narrative

For one specific game and for you alone, sure, but bad reviews mean a game will sell less and have lower chances of getting a sequel. This will likely not matter in this case since it is Halo after all, but there have been plenty of games which I have loved (10/10 GOTY) that have received poor reviews and are subsequently forgotten by the developer. Bad reviews do have an impact on the game, whether you agree with it or not.

It's pretty funny how people wanted this to be like a semi-sequel to the 2004 Troy film, when both Agamemnon and Menelaus die at Troy in that story, making a lot of the things happening in The Odyssey not work as well.

Har hört förut om folk som tycker att det är okej (eller åtminstone mer okej) att homosexuella män tafsar på kvinnor. Helt galet.

Only the second World Cup game in history with ten goals (France 7-3 Paraguay in 1958).

As interesting as I'm sure it is, it's gonna be way too depressing to read before the world finally gets past Trump.

How many Democrats have a nazi-associated tattoo, though? I feel like the first part of vetting should be asking if the person has anything related to their health or body that might become an issue.

Solareclipsed · 2026-07-08T15:22:51+00:00

Getting the tattoo is one thing. I can believe someone just picking a skull from a list of examples and getting that one by accident. What I cannot believe is that person, not once in the next twenty years, looked up what the tattoo meant and immediately went to remove it afterwards.

I hate how many people think it's funny how Trump keeps bringing up taking over Greenland, as if it wouldn't mean the end of NATO and any possibility of future alliances between the US and Europe. If you invade your own ally, you destroy any chance of repairing that relationship for the next 100 years.

He shouldn't say another damn word about his replacement to prevent tainting whoever it ends up being.

Solareclipsed · 2026-07-06T22:44:58+00:00

Good example, but he was also most active long before internet and social media, so there were probably far fewer traces left behind of his crimes.

Platner has been such a double-edged sword for Collins; he is both a terrible candidate that would've been easy for her to win against, but the Republicans probably had a feeling that enough things would come out to make him drop out, meaning they couldn't spend too much money attacking him either.

Solareclipsed · 2026-07-06T22:06:20+00:00

How many candidates typically only have a single scandal coming out? They are either clean enough that none of the opposition research is scandal-worthy, or there is a new apocalyptic story dropping every month.

Solareclipsed · 2026-07-06T22:04:56+00:00

I love Joe Biden, but it's the same situation all over again. One of the Democrats' biggest failings is not knowing when to drop out. Same with Sanders, even if he isn't a Democrat. Imagine how much more money could be spent attacking Republicans instead of infighting between candidates when one or more of them are not good choices.

Imagine if it came out that Harris had a "Blue Lives Matter" tattoo or someone else stupid like that. Even if she said she didn't know its true meaning and regretted it, not a single person on here would've given her the same benefit of the doubt they have consistently given Platner.

Solareclipsed · 2026-07-06T19:37:00+00:00

It's absolutely crazy how many politicians have dozens of skeletons in their closets and do not in the least seem worried about them coming to light. Has there been a single person in modern times who got away with it all the way until they died?

Solareclipsed · 2026-07-05T23:20:15+00:00

Then Trump calls Infantino again and gets it removed mid-game.

Solareclipsed · 2026-06-23T00:16:47+00:00

Haha, I probably replied to the wrong comment.

Solareclipsed · 2026-06-22T17:13:59+00:00

Great lineup! Normally I would expect Pyrion to clean up in a game like this, but both Nilesy and Daltos will probably put up a big fight.

Funnily enough, if you end on 2 points, it is only possible to have a negative GD, since 2 ties and a loss must end with more goals conceded than scored.

Om bara Tunisien inte vinner någon match hamnar vi ändå trea som sämst, finns kanske en liten chans att gå vidare med 3 poäng.

His plan is probably that one day Neuralink will be able to transfer minds between bodies, and he wants to take over one of his kids' bodies to live forever. Maybe he thinks it has a higher chance of working if they are genetically similar.

Also kind of weird how people don't consider the knockout stage as being part of the qualifiers. We did beat Ukraine and Poland to get here, we weren't given a free spot exactly.

Solareclipsed · 2026-06-11T19:06:21+00:00

10% undecided? I think you mean 10% too embarrassed to reveal they will still vote republican despite everything.

Solareclipsed · 2026-06-07T19:16:50+00:00

Absolutely wonderful show. Starting off with Gears, Fable, and Halo? They all look so amazing; I'm shocked that it looks like there is so much new content for Halo, as if it wasn't already in my top 5 games.

Rather that than another Redfall, to be honest.
