Two human demo was pretty bad.And don't give me that[oh it is just a demo.]that game is almost done and I doubt there will be any HUGE changes.As for full games I would have to say NBA live 06 and Calbela's African safari.K1LLR3175

You probably didnt like it because you're not used to the gameplay system, you thought it was like God of War or DMC, but its more like Diablo, no need to post your ignnorant opinion as a fact.

I realize that many games are praised for their story. I never said that stories were useless or unnecessary. I simply said that without decent gameplay, the story elements might be forgotten or ignored.

A great example of this is the game which this very thread means to discuss. I gave the game an honest chance. But I found the gameplay so unappealing that the story was reduced to a distant and vague distraction. So I stopped playing it.

Also, I didn't realize I needed to labal everything I said as my opinion. I'm the one who's saying it. You'd think it'd be obvious.

I actually didnt like The Darkness that much, the story only had a few good parts, anyone that says its great doesnt know anything about good sotry plots, but you said that the story in a game means nothing if it doesnt have a deccent gameplay or graphics, any game can shine if it has at least 1 of 3 things, graphics, gameplay or story, just look at Gears of War, the gameplay isnt that good, the story sucks big time, but the graphics made it a great game, only a few games got to be great in these 3 things.

[QUOTE="club-sandwich"]I can't believe so many people hated The Darkness, definitely one of the best games of 2007, fantastic gameplay, fantastic story, everything was top-notch on that game. I can't believe so many people praise crap like CoD4 or Halo 3, and hate on awesome games like The Darkness. :(Juggernaut140

I'm not a big Halo fan, but if you call Call of Duty 4 crap one more time, I'm pouring pudding down your pants. :x

Call of Duty 4 is a noob fest

n00b is not a damn word people!! only esnob punks use it.

I'll address your concerns.

When I said, "If I wanted no gameplay and a good story, I would read a book", I was going by what dukebd699 said. It is his opinion that The Darkness has one of the best stories on X360, not mine. I was simply saying that a story is not enough to carry a game; it needs to be combined with decent gameplay to really shine. That is why we are game enthusiasts instead of literary enthusiasts. :P

You realize that's only your opinion right? some of the best games ever created shined for their story, not the gameplay or graphics.

Since you have FFXIII all over your post, i can tell you're not a real gamer haha.

blockbuster use to have a deal where you trade in any 4 games for 360 and get a new game free....so I would buy 4 copies of nhl 2k6 from eb games and go get $60 games for $40 :)dan_cicero

Nice idea.

Nahh i dont care if the game im trading is a piece of crap, a few weeks ago i traded GTAIV for another COD4, because my old one had a scartch and didnt worked, haha best decition of my life, GTAIV sucks big time.

GTAIV is a piece of crap, Gears of War 2 looks good but its just the same as GOW1 but the graphics wont surprise yo as much, Mirrors Edge or Starcraft 2 should take the award, or maybe Left4dead.

Those super hyped games shouldnt even get to to the nominates, Rock Band 2? cmon.
