Halo 4

I got it when it came out and that game was quite fun. I was a huge fan of the age of empire games and felt that halo wars was a very good version of their age of empires series, with some slight changes to make it play better on a console.

Can someone explain to me why it is so disliked?

Were people just not aware of what kind of game it was when they bought it? Or did they buy it just because it was a halo game and were hoping to like it regardless of the type of game?

I am really just looking for a real answer other than it was bad, because that really is not a fair answer.

Halo Wars is amazing!! I still have my fingers crossed that Halo Wars 2 will be a launch title for the next Xbox. The game just felt like Halo, which is more than I can say about Halo 4...

I think a combo between it's not a FPS so it wasn't worth it to a ton of folks coupled with the multiplayer which is all a bunch of people care about that was very easy to be extremely cheap in. I know I only played MP with friends because we could make a non-boring ass cheap tactic game and actually have fun in it.

Console RTS.

I just gotta look at the N64 version of Starcraft and know that I don't want to try any RTS on a console. Bring it to the PC and I'm sure I'll love it.

Your God is as real as the Tooth Fairy. Deal with it.

I loved it. I wasn't aware there was a lot of hate for it.
