Guess I'm the only gamer then :(

 

Never cared about stories much in games.

 

(And yes, I'm just kidding around, on the first sentence that is)

If the gameplay backing your stories sucks, most people don't tend to finish those stories. Gameplay>Story.

 

FFVII may have had a great story, but without a great game behind it nobody would have cared.

Achievement is its own reward, pride only obscures.

it makes me angry cause although the story isn't the greatest, I don't understand how it's honestly worse than a story like Halo's.

the game deserves a good 8.5. I really love it so far.

Ι am pretty damn SURE that you HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA what you're talkin about.

Halo's story and mythological universe is better than the vast majority of Sci-Fi movies and series's plots in the last decade.

A difference of 0,7 between GT review and your opinion makes you angry???

7.8 isn't bad at all; only .2 away from an 8, which is negligible.

However I agree, looking for a story in an FPS is like looking for water in the Sahara Desert. You won't find a good amount.

Half-Life, Bioshock, System Shock, The condemnded games, Fallout 3, etc



Game is ok. Coming from a mostly HD gamer that plays lots of FPS games...this is a decent game. This review is right on the money if not a little too high.

FEAR 2, Chronicles of Riddick (and possibly Killzone 2...i dont know as i havent played it yet) are better FPS games in 2009. But none of them are on the Wii so this is a welcome title. For FPS single player campaigns, its all about gunfights and set pieces...and this game is not top of the line when it comes to that stuff but not that bad either. Gunfights are kinda on par with Timeshift few years ago if you remember that title. Very predictable.

As far as the visuals...again its a pretty solid looking game for the Wii, but 480p is 480p...you can muster all kinds of FX in to a game but when playing on a 67 inch 1080p tv...480p does not impress.

See, this is a review I can respect. Is it such a chore to simply state the facts without insulting the game and the people who made the system it's on?

He said that the single-player was bland and the multiplayer is great. That's all I want to know. Now, hopefully this game can sell well enough that they'll make Conduit 2 using their updated Q3 engine and include splitscreen.

I agree with this and have found that i am looking to GT more and more these days for this reason, even though i haven't always agreed with the scores they have given.  The problem is people jump up and down everytime there is a bad review for a game they like but fail to pay attention to good quality reviews unless they have a 9.X score at the end.



probably graded more critically because it got so many game of the year awards before it was even released.



Tbh Gameplay > story > graphics

Review says Gameplay and graphics were greater than story, who cares, that's why people are still going for head shots on Call of duty: Modern Warefare and World at War till this day, why ? cuz of the gameplay not for the story..

Left4DEAD awesome game again gameplay

Gears of War still going strong cuz of gameplay.

If the multiplayer is good the Conduit will have a good replay value..

Example:What makes Mariokart fun is the multiplayer, single player is meh.

Story is ok, but for a shooter game that's not the main focus.

Killzone2 weakest part was the story everything else was top notch.
