[QUOTE="SpiritOfFire117"] Noted. So this was all based on opinion and preference instead of cold hard fact then? Well I'm glad we got that taken care of. Good day.Phoenix534

No, i'm just less blinded to it's flaws than you are.

Truly, you're both right. It's most likely the best console RTS ever, but it doesn't stand up to the likes of Company of Heroes and Command & Conquer.

Not hard to be the best when there are only like 3 others.

[QUOTE="shawn7324"]The hype was another bad console RTS. Every RTS on console turns out bad, so why would anyone expect that suddenly to change?Stevo_the_gamer
Previews, commentary (interviews, community updates), and the developer itself (Ensemble was a fantastic developer) all gave weight the game would shape up nicely.

Ensemble hadn't done anything good in years. Why are you so obsessed with proof, can't you just accept i have played the game? As i said i played on my friends GT, you want his?

[QUOTE="mario_gamer"][QUOTE="SpiritOfFire117"]

At this point it doesn't matter now. The game wasn't exemplary, but as you just put it in your last post it also wasn't a complete failure either.

SpiritOfFire117

Well i find gameplay to overrule all other aspects, and RTS is my favorite genre, RA2 being my favorite RTS along with most other CnC's and total wars, CoH is up there too, i guess my RTS standards are just too high, i will grant you it wasn't an absolutly terrible game, but i still can't describe it as good. Remember to keep in mind i have about 40 RTS games including Xpacks.

[QUOTE="mario_gamer"][QUOTE="SpiritOfFire117"] It's a start atleast, but by saying some aspects were "good" a game can't be "truly awful" as you put it a few pages back now can it? For it to be "truly awful" it would have to fail in ALL areas.SpiritOfFire117

What other aspects do i need to cover?

[QUOTE="SpiritOfFire117"] No it's because you probably you can't answer my points to begin with and want me to give you the answers instead. You talked about the gameplay. GOOD. Now I'm asking about the other parts.SpiritOfFire117

The story is semi interesting, harvest and all that. Graphics were passable, nothing special. The music was good, but all halo music is good. I'm sure i'm missing some of the things you asked me to address, i will get back to you, anything in particular you would like me to discus.

I'm the one asking first, but as Stevo said a while back I'm probably wasting damn time with you. Good day. :roll:

SpiritOfFire117

So you know you are wrong then? I'm sorry if you're so deprived of quality you think the Halo Wars is good.

[QUOTE="mario_gamer"][QUOTE="SpiritOfFire117"] Well lend us your views on the other parts then since you obviously played every inch of it so extensively.SpiritOfFire117

Tell me what's good about it first.

I love how this kid is comparing a console RTS to a PC RTS. In no way can they be comparable as I stated earlier in this thread. Great PC RTS's that would easily get a 10 on consoles, get 8-9 on PC.

Console RTS has to start somewhere, kind of like Goldeneye did with FPS on consoles. Compared to PC FPS Goldeneye was terrible, as for consoles? It did so much which is why it got a great score.

Even without the comparison Halo Wars is awfull, go on, try and say something good about the gameplay.

Than you can't judge it. The best two parts of the game are the campaign's story and the multiplayer. You really played probably the worst part of the game, and you're using that as a basis on the quality of the whole game.

Read what i said, my point was about RTS in general, from which we can assume: If i was going to like any part it would be skirmish. What we can't assume: That i didn't play any of the other parts. don't jump to conclusions.

He won't mention it because he knows it'll hurt his argument.

If the gameplay sucks, no matter how good the rest of the game may be, the game still sucks, did lairs graphics make it good? And i only really play skirmish anyway.
