In this generation, I can say I've enjoyed my gaming PC and my 360 way more than my Wii and PS3. For a while, I was thinking my ps3 purchase was a waste of money, as I'll likely buy multiplats on 360, and not a lot of exclusives appeal to me. ( A lot, anyways)
However.
I have no idea why people are doubting, let alone bashing, Haze. I just finished the demo, and I really, really enjoyed it. I've heard people complain about the visuals, saying the foilage is flat. Well, flat or not, the visuals are better than "pretty good" in the game. The gameplay feels rock solid (nothing incredibly new, but solid) and the Necter is a very cool aspect of the game.
Then there is the story. Honestly, I've never been so interested in a game after playing it's demo as I am with Haze. Honestly. And I've played a LOT of good demos to very good games. Maybe the story isn't amazing in the eyes of most people, I don't know. But, in my opinion, the idea of a drug being brought into warfare is interesting alone. THEN you start finding out this "helpful" drug is beginning to screw with you, in a kind of spooky way. I can't wait to see what it actually does to the character and other people, and how much the bad side-effects gets involved in the story. Plus, the story is also laced (appropriate, huh? haha) with lies and control of the government, which could end with bad, bad things happening.
This is no Halo clone. This isn't "just like every other boring shooter". It looks good, it plays good, and the story is very interesting to me, and sounds good. The game isn't ground-breaking or a revolution of the FPS genre by any means, but this game defintiely has my interest, and I beleive it will be a great, MAYBE even fantastic game.
Make all the jokes you want about the game, but I think it has the potential to be great.
