[QUOTE="Godslay"][QUOTE="Tiefster"][QUOTE="Godslay"]I agree Halo does have a good story, anyone who says otherwise didn't pay attention to the game or read the books. The only thing that bothers me is that Starcraft and Halo have a very similar story. Humans = Terrans, Covenant = Protoss, Flood = Zerg, and Forerunner = Xel'Naga. Either way both great games with a great history, and depth.spikegriffin



You're giving Halo's story too much credit, it is good but there are other FPS's that have better stories.


Name a few ?

F.E.A.R.

Half-Life 2

The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay 

To name a few. Each of these manages at least a decent story (though I'll admit that FEAR has the weakest story of the three). But CoR has a good story to it and great gameplay/graphics to boot.


FEAR ha ha ha, the story in was pretty weak. The other two did have good stories, and I would say IMHO that Halo is on par with each one of those.

The story is about the game's only weak point, so haters have to attack it like it was an RPG.

Well, I would say that Halo's story is deeper than some of the Rpg's that come out.

I agree, Halo 1 wasn't very deep, but had a good twist, and a great ending.

Halo 2 was deep, had decent plot twists, but the ending was too much of cliff hanger. I recently replayed the campaign and I was surprised how much stuff I missed or ignored the first time through.

Overall it's a superb story for a FPS, and I can't wait to see what happens for the 3rd one.

Thank You, when you do go back it seems that more unfolds. Also, the books add such a depth to the game it really makes it a universe. According to Bungie they have a Halo bible which the authors of the books have to follow, and the story line of the games follow this bible. Some speculate that the Haloverse, and Marathon are one in the same.

Think about it-- If you just buy the Wii console itself, you can't watch movies, use voice chat, play in HD, or play multiplatform games like Assassin's Creed, Virtua Fighter 4, Oblivion, Army of Two, GRAW 2, R6: Vegas, and many other great titles that will be on PS3 and Xbox 360 but not Wii. So basically, if you want to get the full next-gen experience this gen, you won't be able to get by with just a Wii. Let's look at the numbers:

Wii ($250) + Xbox 360 Premium ($400) = $750! :o

Wii ($250) + PS3 20GB ($500) = $850! :o

Either way your paying a $50 difference of $800 if you want to be a Wii gamer this gen and still get access to all the hot multiplats. But if you go with one of the other systems...

Xbox 360 Premium = $400

PS3 20GB = $500

You save $250, which is money you can use to buy games, accessories, and dowloadable content for your "big" system. Wii might seem like a nice system, but it doesn't really have what it takes to be a stand alone console. You'll always need to have one of the big boys handy as a crutch, or you're missing out on way too much.

Nice math there since when was 500+250=850 ? I believe the wii could stand by itself, if you are willing to wait a bit for the great games. That's like saying you can't experience all of gaming without a Wii(250)+360(399)+PC(600)=1249. It's illogical and you know it, also don't backtrack by saying it was a parody of sorts. I have seen other comments you have made, and they are mostly garbage like this.

[QUOTE="Godslay"]Overrated Garbage like the first one. NG is a better game by a long shot. On any platform.666vertigo
I gotta agree with this guy. The first one was fun but by no means a masterpiece. I suppose for a PS2 game it's quite good but thats not saying too much. God of War was like Devil May Cry. Yet another game I thought was overated. You're doing the same stuff over and over again. New enemy, new puzzle. New enemy, new puzzle. New weapon, new enemy, new puzzle. Granted i haven't played the sequal yet so I can't really say anything bad about it. But it looks the same as the first one! And whats the deal with the fixed camera view?


Thank You, at least NG wasn't afraid to kick you in the nuts from time to time.

[QUOTE="Godslay"][QUOTE="Bleach_is_basic"][QUOTE="Godslay"]Overrated Garbage like the first one. NG is a better game by a long shot. On any platform.Me_Ur_Daddy
I disagree. Overall I actually enjoyed God of War more than I did Ninja Gaiden. Sure, bits and pieces are better for each game but as a whole package I enjoyed GOW more. So much so it was the only game I ever purchased without ACTUALLY OWNING the console. Since then I've gotten a PS2 so I'll definitely pick up GOW2 but you know what, I'd probably pick it up anyway, just like I did with that first one.

Really ? NG just really seemed to be that much better. Graphics, gameplay, and challenge. It really brought back that old school feeling for me. GOW just seemed to have a derivitive story line, a cheap not challenging feeling at times, and Kratos didn't really hit me as a solid character like Hayabusa does. He seems like he tries to hard to be hardcore. Just my opinion though.

i think everything you said is true for NG and not GOW, the main character in NG sux and so does the story, GOW voice acting and cutscenes etc are AMAZING. so are the monsters an enemies and fighting engine, its so refined. graphics cant be helped because of the system but GOW definatly pushes the limit, and GOW is hindered by its trying to stay close to the mythological history so kratos couldnt really have projectiles and other gameplay elemients ninja stars etc. but 2 looks like it has a bow now so maybe theres projectiles in this one, and you were suppose to play GOW at the hardest setting as thats what jaffe intended, but a lot of people didnt and say that its not challenging.


Well Ryu was voted a popular charater by Screw Attack...
