which will be better, Spore or Gears 2MikeE21286

Now is the PC version of Spore. Or the DS version. Or could it be the PS3/360 version that will come out in a year when people are out for money that will cater so much to the casual gamer that it will be much more shallow than the PC version. Or will it be the dumbed down Wii version that will be changed so much that it resembles Gears 2 as much as it does Spore.

[QUOTE="Ryoco"]I'll say a 10 just to increase the hype and to make the fail bigger when this game disappoints. The current average seems reasonable but I have seen this before with a game called Killzone. Sure the game didn't get as much hype but that was when there was a complete library for the Sony console and back then no one was depending on it for a large amount of success. It was no slouch in the graphics department (especially given the lackluster graphics of the console it was made for) but the x factor that led to its downfall were the controls.TREAL_Since

Predictions like this shouldn't be counted Thrones.

Lol I don't think he was taking it seriously. When I read this I thought he would say an 8.6.

[QUOTE="krunkfu2"]

Both the games you used in your comparison have almost nothing in common to halo despite genre.

Both R6 and CoD try to create a "realistic" game. Halo does not try to do that, and that is probably why you think there is no skill involved.

I've never played R6, but CoD4 requires almost no skill. you don't even need to pull off headshots to really kill your enemies, you can just spray them or camp in the grass.

The AR in H3 is just like that, spray, kill, move on, maybe a nade or a melee attack might be thrown.

The more routine Halo players will probably be using the BR more. Using the BR effectively in Halo 3 requires headshots, no headshotswhile using the BR probably means you'll die, especially in Team BR's or Big Team games.

I feel that just the fact that probably the most used, or second most used, weapon in the game requires you to pull off numerous headshots to use it successfully, makes the game much more skillful than CoD; I still don't know about R6 though.

Know that what I just said is from my own knowledge of CoD and H3, also know that 've played a helluva lot more H3 than I've played CoD. I also forgot about the M41 Garrand in CoD2 assuming you were talking about the entre CoD series.

You couldn't be more wrong. Halo 3 takes just as much skill as any other online shooter. You are probably thinking of games where everyone runs to the middle of the map and fires assault rifles and tries melees. That takes little skill. When you played against people who actually know what they are doing, it takes a lot of skill in a 1 vs 1 br fight. While I am not a 50, I am played quite a few in mlg customs and know what I'm talking about.

an intercooler and a plug and play kit

The play and charge kit is a must but I wouldn't advise an intercooler. I think that it voids the warranty and it really isn't necessary. I haven't used an intercooler for my elite system and it has been running without problems since I got it a year ago.

Talk about a motion sensing controller.

Talk about a 40-60 GB new unit just like the MGS4 bundle.

Talk about a Blu-Ray unit.

Talk about JRPGs from the PS days, shooters from the PC days.....

Does Xbox bring anything new to the table?

None of that stuff is actually confirmed for a Mircosoft console yet. The XBOX had a hard drive before a Sony system. MS made the guide button and XBOX Live (best matchmaking system and online service for console). XBOX made the achievement system and allows for HD gaming without installation (neither PC nor PS3 does that-but ultimately it's just a half hour max). Basically anything in the PS3's latest update was done on the 360 before (and soundtracks on the first XBOX).
