Played Halo 3 odst never realised halo is a low budget game?????

[QUOTE="Twin-Blade"]

Usually. But every once in awhile a game comes along with near perfect gameplay that even the casual market can appreciate. Games like Halo. I'm sick of people thinking Crysis like graphics are the only way to go. I wish there were more games with Warcraft III style graphics, perhaps a little updated. Diablo III looks perfect in that sense. WoW is so popular both because of its awesome, addictive gameplay but as well as having a graphical style that is both nice & not hard on the hardware. Age of Conan was awesome, but you can't have a massively successful MMO like WoW when there aren't half the amount of WoW's playerbase with a PC well enough to run it at a stable level. I'm hoping SW:TOR isn't very system demanding, not because I won't be able to play it (I'm sure I will) but because the community makes an MMO, & the more players the better.

Muramasa is one of the best looking games this gen. It's on the Wii. And what happened to sprite based games? I loved, & still do love them. Imagine how big an RPG could be if they had awesome looking sprites instead of so much memory being used to pull over the 'ohemgee teh graffix!!1' drones. But I'll admit not everyone likes sprites, but it saddens me to think how much is being sacrificed these days to make way for graphics.

I never said the Halo's graphics were a negative point. I just said that you'd typically expect them to be some of the best because the high sales and popularity.

I bought Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection because it had tons of oldschool games that I didn't have the chance to play before. Now I can play almost 50 games, some absolutely terrible for today's standards- maybe even terrible back then- but some, like the Sonic or Vectorman games, are still excellent and a lot of fun to play.

Well before seeing some of the Reach screens, I honestly believed Halo 3s graphics where amazing for its artstyle, & with that said, some of the best looking. I don't usually give my 2 cents in topics when people speak poorly of them because their usually the type that see Crysis, MW2 etc as the peak in graphics for games, & don't appreciate artistic styles. Halo, while looking realistic in a sense, is obviously going for something else, and are a lot more colourful then CoD etc. The same can be said with Gears, but in the opposite sense, where they have an artistic theme which is much more dark & gritty. Perhaps it would look a lot better with CoD graphics, I couldn't say, but I've always thought each iteration of Halo has had impressive graphics.

[QUOTE="tbone802"][QUOTE="pstripl3"]like I've been saying all along halo rehashes every where. no innovation. halo halo2 halo 3 halo odst halo wars halo reach halo i lost count. its sad really.pstripl3

There have been 3 Halo game this gen(4 counting Reach). How many Metal Gear Solid games were there last gen?

MGS4 is the only one on next gen PS3. How many Halos are there on 360? Thank you, goodbye now.pstripl3

I consider ODST to be a massive DLC, but when coupled with the whole Halo 3 multiplayer & map packs, was sold at full price (and for good reason). Halo Wars wasn't a bungie game, but I'll give that to you if we're including spin offs. That's 4 games on the 360 including Reach, which hasn't been released yet. MGS4, but your forgetting (including spin offs as you did with Halo Wars):

Metal Gear Solid: Rising

Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops

Metal Gear Solid: Peacewalker

Metal Gear Acid

Metal Gear Acid 2

That's off the top of my head. They were released this gen, maybe not on PS3 except for rising, but if anything that's just poor that Sony would make its customers have to purchase more then one gaming platform for the games of the series. Your argument fails.

[QUOTE="pstripl3"][QUOTE="tbone802"] Kinda like MGS, MGS2, MGS3, MGS4, Twin Snakes, MGS3:S, Metal Gear Acid, MGS:PO, Peacewalker, etc...It is pretty sad.tbone802

There have been more MG games this gen than Halo has in total.

You forgot Portable Ops Plus. Which makes seven MG games this gen, as opposed to Halo's three(soon to be four). Epic fail on troll's part.

Four so far.

Halo 3 (2007)

Halo 3: ODST (2009)

Halo Wars (2009) - an RTS, and was not developed by Bungie

Halo: Reach (2010)

Halo isnt nearly as milked as other franchies like Call of Duty, and Guitar Hero as some would have you believe. :|

Halo DS, it did exsist at one point, but was canned.

I watched the video and I think it looks fake. Maybe it could be real, but it looks too good for a DS game that was made in 2006. I've never heard about it, either, and the video would probably have way more views if it was real.

[QUOTE="DarkGamer007"]

[QUOTE="RogueShodown"] The difference is that Halo can't be on handhelds. Bungie would never make a game for the PSP and DS and they probably wouldn't be any good. Neither can they make Halo multiplat. I'm sure MS would never allow them to do that. Plus, 4 Halo games are a lot considering they are all on 1 platform. Compare that to MGS's 4 platforms, and you can see why it would have so many different releases. RogueShodown

Halo DS, it did exsist at one point, but was canned.

That's a pretty big assumption. And regardless of whether they are on one platform or not, there are still seven MG games (8 if your including Digita, which is a comic book disguised as a PSP game) that have been released this gen. You said Halo is being milked, & that MGS isn't, not how many have been released this gen. The MG series has had so many spin offs & remakes it's ridiculous.

[QUOTE="VoodooHak"]

[QUOTE="RogueShodown"] Why do you always bash PS3 games and praise 360 games? Anyways, I'm sure the Halo series is great, but I do wonder why the games don't have really good technical graphics, even though I like the style and they are more than good enough for me. I don't play games for the graphics.RogueShodown

It may not be cutting edge, but it's above average in technical graphics. They spent their time and resources crafting new characters that are NOT the Master Chief in a narrative structure that's very different from all past Halo games.

If you don't play games for graphics anyway, then why is this even a question?

Maybe that's your one-dimensional expectation, but that hardlly reflects reality. Again, just look to Halo 3 ODST as an example. Or Dragon Age. Or Left 4 Dead. Or Rock Band. ODST wasn't a fluke. It and the other games I mentioned are prime illustrations of how good games are more than graphical fidelity.

Seriously why is halo 3/odst such a low budget game, im quessing it's for maximum profits but still? I mean the graphics are not good at all, it's quite a jaggy mess and looks like a last gen engine.... Also the Animationis such bad quality whats the deal with how everyone walks in halo osdt, it seriously Just looks like there puppets being controlled with strings.... I mean where the hell is Motion capture? the game certainly earns enough to have this so WTF it's just being lazy

Anyway to sum it up Halo = very average voice acting, bad last gen game engine and terrible terrible Animation, it feels like a low budget game And I cant believe they didnt go to a lot more effort, Really suprised Halo fans dont expect a lot more from there game.

Im with you i got really disappointed, i thought okay if all like this game why not give it a try. Got the game and when i saw the graphic i was like The ****???????

I got really angry that i even bought it :o

I agreee it looks like utter trash... Halo3 lookeddecent graphicsat the time of release though.

You're actually saying more good games is a bad thing:lol:

Would the PS2 be better off if it only had one God Of War instead of two? Would PS3 be better off with only one Uncharted? What utter drivel are you spouting?

To be honest I think Halo 2 and Halo ODST are games that got overrated based on hype here on GS. I would have given Halo 2 nothing higher than 9.0, and even that's generous. I understand the addictive multiplayer component, but the single player was just criminal. I'm not even talking about MW/MW2 "its too short!" criminal, I'm talking about "WTF is this trash!?" type of single player that actually ends up hurting the game.

ODST while functional, was quite a step back from the Halo 3. It was a solid shooter, definitely not deserving of 9.0. I would give it an 8.5. Halo 2 and Halo ODST are not in the same league as Halo CE and Halo 3, which are some of the best shooters out there.

im a ps3 fanboy, but i love halo, halo 3 had a boring campaign imo, but it had awesome online, odst had the best campaign out of all the halos imo, it was just dark and awesome, reminded me a bit of escape from new york.

[QUOTE="pstripl3"] This is exactly my point. I'm just comparing ps3 and 360 and all these lemmings are trying to defend the precious xbox 360 with blind arguments.

Nah, ODST is ace. It's the second best Halo game, imo, just before the first one. Despite not being the longest game in the world, I'd say it's about a million times better than Halo 3.

[QUOTE="pstripl3"] good games is your opinion..many find it boring and repetitive, especially if its the same ole game over and over again just some changes to environment and graphics.

You lemmings just don't understand when you are getting milked like crazy. Halo has been milked to death with nothing new. Now I hear theres going to be a Gears 3..how sad is that..same old stuff again.

The problem is that you seem to believe that every game needs to re write the genre formula. it doesn't. Halo Brought noticble changes each time be it scale health or what ever it is. each one plays diffrently. Halo 3 you are the Last spartan and its due to this you run n gun like a maniac. ODST you are a hero but you have far less power tha MC and as a result the game plays diffrently. Halo wars is an RTS nuff said. Reach will rely a bit more on team work and a bit more thought . try and tell me that its the same old stuff when every story adds more depth to the universe. Halo 3: save the galaxy. ODST is more human related. Reach isn't to save the galaxy. each game is diffrent in little ways but those little things add a diffrent feeling to each game. ODST doesn't feel like halo 3, halo wars, is diffrent than all of themand reach will have a darker feel(kinda hard to describe off of the little info they given us) just because there are a lot of games that have the same name doesn't mean its milked.

and just letting you know halo wars was rated an 8 on nearly ever other site. the game was underrated here because it had an initiative on combat rather building an empire. the game is fast paced fun and very good for a console RTS.
