i remember when people actually cared about the new, but i guess more people would just like to play a game that hasn't changed for 6 years. so for all the real gamers ill see ya playing little big planet in about 6 months or so. and for reference i dont care how many people bought it if ten million people jump off a bridge i still want to but i might walk to the edge and look off.

Time and time again has proven gamers prefer well-done games that arent original, compared to average games that are original. Rarely does a game thats well-done and original surface. In that case, yeah, thats better than Halo 3. But originality on its own doesnt stand for much, sadly.

Who said Halo 3 was innovative or original? It's a good polished game with heavily refined gameplay.

First: Wall O Text is not fun to read

Second: Lolare you upset that your favorite game is being overshadowed by the giant that is Halo 3?

Hardly any FPS's are original today, especially since Halo has influenced all of them from thos 6 years ago : p

Yes everytime I buy a game I look for the "originality approved" seal :P

Dont be such a critic, Consistancy is key in a series otherwise you could end up loosing fans/buyer's.

And yet people are still hyped for Mario galaxy and Final fantasy games which have hardly changed their format for how long 15 + years you say, Oh and MGS4 and Gran Turismo and Zelda etc.

the halo series is a trilogy. it's not supposed to change that much. like the lord of the rings, you're not just going to go on a whole new storyline. that's just absurd. and you're saying little big planet is for true gamers? wow what are you smoking? yay i get to build random crap with socks that's so fun.

So if Halo fans purchase the latest installment, they aren't "real" gamers because you say so? Originality isn't everything; tried and true quality can be appealing.

Actually, I belive dual-wielding started in Marathon. And it was popularized on consoles with Goldeneye. So that fails. Because Marathon =/= Halo.

Different combinations was possible in Goldeneye using cheat/glitch. :D

Not the same. Goldeneye and Perfect Dark didn't let you fire each weapon individually or choose which weapon was in which hand.

even so, Halo didn't invent it, just modified it. But its all semantics and not worth arguing.

Nah Halo 2 deserves the cred.

You can hardly call what Goldeneye did dual wielding. It just duplicated the same gun, virtually giving you two barrels that acted like one big one. Halo 2 let you mix and match for tactical implementations and be fired seperately depending on the situation.
