I SUCK AT HALO 3

Re: I SUCK AT HALO 3

I like Call of Duty, which basically has the "shield" system of health (regeneration over a short time frame) without the actual shield - as you say, meat and bones, which does make it more fun to tear into someone. </pyschopath>

Re: I SUCK AT HALO 3

Often simplicity is the equation for a successful game. You didn't like the NES?

I loved the NES. But the NES was made in the 80's where the technology could only do so much for graphics, AI, ect.

Halo 3 was released this year for PC and 360 where technology has improved quite a bit, but all that's exceptional about it for me are the graphics. Aside from the vehicles, I could play a FPS made in the early 90's and get the same experience. And for this game to be praised the way it is makes no sense to me.

Re: I SUCK AT HALO 3

Well, to elaborate more on my point. Halo is loved much in the same way all Blizzard games are usually loved. Blizzard doesn't really break ground, Blizzard takes an established formula and tweaks it to perfection. Starcraft is far from complicated -- well it is -- but at it's core it's a pretty basic RTS. Halo generally does every aspect of the FPS right. It doesn't really rely on some silly gimmick to attract players.

Also, you're telling me Doom II is the same experience as Halo?

Not quite. Can't jump, and there's no vehicles in Doom.

Although Shadow Warrior would be a better example.

I dunno, Gou, I'm sold on the vehicles. I couldn't do that in Perfect Dark.

Re: I SUCK AT HALO 3

In Gouki's defense, I didn't like Halo much either. I'd rather play Doom or Goldeneye, at least those games had a competent SP campaign, and GE had an exceptional MP.

I mean, you don't get much story at all, most levels have such repetitive design it's ridiculous, the basic and unbalanced arsenal irked me, and multiplayer was kinda boring, seeing as vehicles weren't very good(the TERRIBLE controls don't help) and the maps were too big for the amount of players allowed so it wasn't remotely fun unless you had 4 players. AND THE LOAD TIMES! I don't care how good a game looks. R&C looks pretty good, and those games have few load times, and they don't even last 2 minutes. The load times in Halo were sickening. During one run, I literally cooked a pot roast. Proof that what's popular isn't always that good. 2 was the same for me, except there was online play, which I didn't get to do much of, but from what I played, little kids and MP games DON'T MIX.

I'm gonna play through 3 this week. I'll probably make the same criticisms, but like I said about DMC and NG, if development of those games don't change, why should I change how I feel about 'em?

Re: I SUCK AT HALO 3

Go and get it! I'll play ya, if I can get Live running. Ever since someone had me set up their 360, I've been fighting with it ever since.

Japanese make better consoles BTW.

Proof to you. Opinions are funny that way.
