Because it is nothing special. The reason people like it so much is because MS hyped it to hell and back, it was the only thing on the xbox with any mainstream appeal that was decent, and because a lot of them had never played an fps before. Certainly not a PC one.

what a load of nonsense.
"a lot of them had never played a FPS, certainly not a PC one"
so a lot had probably not played a FPS and never played a PC one... generalisation or what?
Question just for you...
Killzone (1) or Halo CE?
|
You think I'm a killzone fan because of my avatar? Afraid not. Both series are mediocre, 7/10 games.
|
if one is 7/10 god knows what the other deserved....
|
Ill give you that CE is better than killzone 1 but thats simply because it isn't glitchy as hell. Which seems to be the only criteria for console shooting games. Does it run? Yes. Do you shoot things? Yes. 10/10 GOTY.

I've played FPS games on PC's since Wolfenstein 3D, cannot stand people acting snobbish and elitist regarding console FPS games. Seriously it was boring in 2001 and it's still boring now.
|
Console fps games are fun little diversions, and I play them. But none of them have been truly groundbreaking like so many people insist.
|
I do agree that not many are ground breaking so perhaps I jumped the gun a little with you but Halo CE really was at the time. Perhaps the difference is that I see the advances they've made with the Halo series in terms of the customisation they've tried to provide to give the multiplayer some of the flexibility PC gamers have taken for granted due to the mod scene.
In some ways I see where you're coming from but I think the issue isn't the games being overrated by the console reviewers but PC reviews being too harsh. I don't see the point of PC magazines running to a scale of 100 or 10 if they're never going to award that score, we all know there is no such thing as perfection so why only rate games out of 1-9. You may as well use the 10 too and let the text of the review highlight the minor criticisms that stop it being perfect.
