Black Ops 2 >>>>>> Halo 4

[QUOTE="Master_ShakeXXX"]

[QUOTE="jg4xchamp"] I normally would go with something like "this is the stupidest thing you've said", but in your case that's f*cking hyperbole. But needless to say that's stupid. The genre you work in should not justify bad story telling or plot points. Their games are padded, fillered up, and fairly inconsistent from beginning to end.

And it certainly doesn't justify what I suffered with Max Payne 3. It's like they actively went out of their way to disrupt the players enjoyment of the game.

Yeah a little bit of hyperbole. But still, it's like a known fact that open world games simply can't tell stories like linear and cinematic games. They don't have that benefit of being able to guide the player along this intricately paced storyline because that goes against what a open world game is all about. Like I said, Rockstar does a pretty damn good job though all things considered.

It's just what my experiences with games have taught me over the years. Typically pacing and storytelling in linear games >>>>> open world games. Batman Arkham City is the ONE exception, but that's probably because I loved that f*cking game so much that I barely screwed around in it and just went from checkpoint to checkpoint. I was so hooked.

But Spec Ops has a good story. :P

It's less circle-jerk, more respect.

I was going to read but then I saw boobs and realised Boobs are great, everyone gather round hold hands and lets sing about boobs,

[QUOTE="Master_ShakeXXX"]

[QUOTE="jg4xchamp"] But that's not even remotely true. An Open World game is just a sandbox. Their narrative, their story is as liner and cinematic as the pieces of sh1t you like. They just come off completely oblivious to the concept that their game and story should be something cohesive.

You have a lot more impact on how Planescape plays out, but the story in that game(under the "good for a videogame story umbrella") is better than what the vast majority of linear circle jerks that get praised for the "stories" they tell. So again that's a sh1tty excuse for not delivering. Shoetime shows being lame by the end of their second season doesn't excuse Homeland for falling apart in the second season. It just joins a special group dedicated to f*cking up.

The morality system in RDR did seem pretty pointless, atleast what I gathered from it. I only played through the game once but my actions didn't seem to have a noticeable effect on how Marston acted as a character. And the Mexico bit was definitely the weakest part of the game, but overall I thought it was a pretty good story (the final few hours were f*ckin awesome) and loved the game. GTAIV is another story, Couldn't even bring myself to finish the piece of sh*t. So in closing, RDR is all I have to go off of this generation in debating Rockstar's talent. I haven't played LA Noir or the GTAIV spinoffs.

...And he's back.

Spec Ops The Line is the only MMS game where I felt the story was actually worth paying attention toBPoole96

Actually found this funny.

Anybody here listen to this song? - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-pswfTBt78&list=FLewMOkU0tG032ymQcbWshbQ&index=4

I mean actually listen to it? It gets me deep. Real deep. Deeper than when I listened to it in San Andreas.

Black Ops 2 campaign was terrible though.....the graphics were like 6/10 at best, the story was forced down the gamers throat and hard to follow, the campaign lasted like maybe 5-6 hours tops, the RTS elements were absoule garbage and the only thing the game did right was the ending.

::drools:: I agree, fo sure.

Anybody here Volbeat fans? Those guys are f*cking amazing.

Here lisen to this sh*t and have your earholes f*ckd -http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PVDvOSYA-M&list=FLewMOkU0tG032ymQcbWshbQ&index=26

story telling bleh.

You have got to be the dumbest mother f*cker on this board Shake.AcidSoldner

Yet it still needs to catch up to Half-Life 2. And

Why is Mastershake aloud to make stupid threads?

This had better be trolling.

It's a shame that it sucks, too bad this song is the best song in San Andreas

I spent about 30 min on SP and went to MP and never looked back.DaBrainz

Have they fixed the MP yet? I couldn't believe how broken it was at launch.

Thye story was good for a COD game. Heil68

Blops 1 had a pretty good story too. I just think the choices added so much more to this one.

All books, movies and games are laughably bad at storytelling, so I fail to see the point of even discussing it.Sushiglutton

wat

I like you Shake.

The story in Black Ops 2 was super dumb. I would say it has the worst Call of Duty story this generation.
