apologise in advace as this will be off topic but i wanted to ask this question and it doesn't really deserve its own thread.
how good is this story in halo really??
way back i tried and hated halo (gameplay) but to be honest i sucked at shooters back then. now thanks to KZ2 i'm good and enjoy the FPS genre much more.
with halo being redone in HD for the 360 now (aka soon) seems like the best time to give it another shoot. so i'm curious how good the story really is. i don't have live gold so i'd only be playing for the single player elements.
is the story really that much better than other games?? money isn't a big deal to me but time is so if i get halo games it probably comes at the expense of playing dead space 2 and mass effect. |
You haven't played Mass Effect o_o???
Anyway the stories in the Halo games are not that great (and you should start with Halo Reach btw) people who are into the Halo Universe mostly tried to find answers about certain events/locations/characters in the game and when they find the answer they will find another bunch of stuff they want to know and before they know it they are trapped in the deep story..
Mass Effect is a better story driven game...Maybe rent the Halo games because you complete them easy in a weekend..

This is a pretty fair evaluation.
Mass Effect is the far better game in terms of actual storytelling. Its driven by story first whereas at the end of the day Halo is still a FPS and driven first and foremost by gameplay. For a FPS the storytelling is top notch and the only other one I can think of haveing on par or better is Bioshock but Halo still has the far deeper universe than Mass Effect.
There's just much much much more detail and history in Halo's backstory but its also had far more time to develop it. Basically play through the Halo games first to get your bearing on the story and events but if you want to REALLY learn about all of the various aspects, races, wars, and history then all that backstory and novels come into place.
