The game doesn't look bad on series X.
What resolution are you running it at? Also the 4790 is likely a bottleneck at this point.

So glad we have Master Chief back. Now we just need Solid Snake lol.

1440p. I plan is to upgrade whenever getting a gpu is normal again. Not in any sort of rush as for every single game besides this one I can run no sweat. It's basically going to have to be a new comp as new GPU would be dumb without a modern cpu, so that means new MOBO, new ram.

I was just browsing through the user reviews on Metacritic, and thought this one was great:
"Very good game, just ignore the negative reviews. These are people who have no taste and why would you care what tasteless people think."
Some people are giving the game a 0. No way is it that bad.

Ya, traditionally if gpu prices were ok you'd just upgrade normally, but its so messed up.
You might consider getting a console as a stopgap, probably hold its value pretty well until you decide to upgrade the PC.
It least nowadays, if you are set up at a desk, a console can be hooked to a monitor and or a keyboard too.

I have only defeated 2 bosses on Legendary. They have been pretty hard and can imagine the upcoming bosses will be no laughing matter

I came around on the campaign yesterday, as i started to explore the map then realized three hours had passed. I still cant shake the feeling of it being incomplete though, and i hate that they couldnt just tell is a story that takes place directly after 5, so much cool stuff is told to you rather than shown to you. It really feels like we are missing a game between 5 and infinite. A baffling choice really. Also there were many moments where i thought, man this would be great with a buddy, then remembered its gonna be 7 fucking months until that happens. Those things for me bring this experience from a 9 to a 7. They had an extra year of development, no reason this should still be incomplete. For as many great things as this game does, there are just as many baffling design choices and missing features.

We dont know in which state this game was a year ago to say that.

Yeah,I don`t really get those who rate a game 0,especially a game that is good,or at least not bad.
Having said that I don`t agree either that Halo Infinite is a 10.
I know it`s a cliche,but I`m a big Halo fan,and there are so many things that I adore about Infinite and in almost equal measure many things that I can`t stand about the game,or or don`t understand why they made some choices.Gameplaywise it`s the best Halo for me(personally the most important thing in a game),but in all other aspects far from the best(not including graphics).
If I take make Halo glasses off I would give Infinite an 8.

Halo Infinite Reviews
Halo Infinite's multiplayer is nearly perfect, presenting a free and cross-platform offering with genre-defining potential. In the contrast, the campaign is sufficient for any fan of the series.opencritic.com

Game runs poor all around on PC, u need beefy hardware to get even a stable 60 fps at 1080p at higher settings.

That's not really true.
I play with around 60fps with a 10 year old 2700k, 8GB DDR3 and a GTX 1070 - granted not at high but pre-set at medium (haven't tried high) - that said all except the GPU is 10 year old hardware (GPU being 5 year old) and it looks and plays fine at 1080p.

PlayStation, Nintendo and Xbox centric review sites have been posting their scores on metacritic for many many years. This is hardly anything new.

The gameplay and sandbox is fantastic. Story isn’t great and it is a bit content starved but fast forward a year or so with the inclusion of co op, more PvP maps, PvE like Spartan Ops and Forge/Theatre mode and it will be an absolute must play. Even still it’s the most I have enjoyed a FPS since I can recall. More campaign content too please.

This was good. I agree with him. The gameplay is top notch, but the story is meh. But for me, I've always found the Halo games to have poor stories. I don't keep up with the cannon. I just love the gameplay.

Just saw that. There's spoilers of Halo 4, 5 and Infinite about midway through. Best watched if you haven't played those or don't care either way.
I thought the review was fair. Didn't even think that there were no new enemies, but didn't really care because the gameplay was so tight.

Kind of like how Sony-centric sites do the same thing, right? Except, despite the graphics here and there, the game deserves every high score. It’s the most fun Halo I’ve ever played and I’ve played them all.Metacritic stopped holding weight when All these Xbox centric review sites started appearing this gen to inflate Xbox metacritic scores.

Fully agree! Best halo I've played since the first game. I haven't cared about the story in years. The combat is too fun!

He has very valid points. I find his critiques spot on here. It was a long review but I had it on the side while doing work.

He makes fair points. I'm actually surprised he scored it as high as he did. Gave it a 7/10 just as I did. He also said his score could be higher down the road as they add more. So yeah.....pretty fair.

Member
I don't agree, but you seem to like him and his schtick, so to each their own. As far as reviewers and credibility goes, he's at the bottom of my list.

Agree with you. People however here are trying to use reviews to support whatever opinion they already have formed ( most ) before the game even came out.

It isn’t like Angry Joe gave the game a negative review. 7/10 is a good score. So what is the problem?
