What's wrong with a good story and tugging heart strings? We need more of this IMO. Games have become too much Hollywood action dude bro Madden Call of Duty har har pwn n00bs on the internet oriented for the past decade. Not everything has to be judged by online dick comparing facilities and testosterone content. I'm actually quite tired of online play being forced into everything. You can't even have a single player JRPG anymore without minimaly being forced to at least compare dicks via achievement progress being broadcasted every time you're forced to sign on. Halo and Gears are your benchmarks for "story" driven games? Seriously? LMFAO I don't even know how to respond to that. Nearly every game in your recently completed list is straight out of the stale billion budget 6 month cycle AAA mainstream fodder list that constantly bombard the windows of Gamestop. COD/Batman/Assasin's Creed/Halo/Gears/Mortal Kombat/Forza/God of War/etc When is the last time you really enjoyed a heartbreaking story in a game or had a story affect you IRL and leave lasting emotional scars? That kind of thing is FAR more memorable than Master McGruntyOneLinerChief Blows Stuff Up Again And Looks Cool Doing It Part 6. I fondly remember the goosebump inducing feelz of Final Fantasy IV or Xenogears to this day far more than I remember anything about "haha pwning n00bs" in Quake 3 or Counterstrike when I had my unfortuneate online vs shooter PC master race phase years ago. You have some low standards if you think Halo and Gears are "story driven". There are manly man shooters for AXE wearing couch potato special ops alpha wannabe manchildren first and foremost. Story isn't even a close second compared to something like Xenoblade Chronicles or Suikoden. But just out of sake of fairness I'll side with you on Killzone having "multiplayer", let alone on par with Gears or Halo. In fact Killzone's "multiplayer" is exactly the kind of thing that happens when you shoehorn fake multiplayer into games that are in reality single player games. But you saying Halo and Gears are "story" oriented games is about as hilarious as the other guy saying Killzone multiplayer compares to Gears and Halo. What do you think of Xenoblade Chronicles? (the original one, not the action game adaptation on the Wii U) Xenosaga? Tales of? Ni No Kuni? Legend of Heroes? Metal Gear? Fire Emblem? A Realm Reborn? Kingdom Hearts? Old school FF pre VII before Square sold out to casual emo pop audiences? The Last of Us? Radiant Historia? Persona?
Halo...Gears... "story"... bwhaha. |
Recently I've taken a stance of just observing and keeping my opinions to myself but I'm making a special exception for you. Who do you think you are? We're both gamers and we like what we like. What makes you feel that your opinion of quality is any better than anyone else's? With the cavalcade of spelling and grammatical errors in your posts, you may want to be less pretentious. I've played the vast majority of the games you've named and then some.
I started gaming on the NES and I play virtually any genre of game from any company. Look at my profile and my games collection (last updated probably 3-5 years ago but it'll give you a good idea of what I play). I've thoroughly enjoyed both the Gears and Halo series. Am I a " dudebro" by your definition?
Let's have a conversation.
