Why is it, that Japanese TPS are so barren of engaging storyline?
And the characters' control are not very precise when compared to the likes of their Western counterparts.
I'm playing Binary Domain right now and I'm forcing myself to continue and also hoping that the next
couple of chapters are FUN to play.

The NPCs AI is absolutely horrible and the companions are worse. I mean beginning of 7th gen bad. They pass in front of your line of fire and when they do they lose confidence in your character as if it is your fault. When you're swarmed by enemies or fighting a boss they make no difference.

The weapons in the game are forgettable. You have to buy them and when some of them are out of ammo you can kiss them good buy for the rest of the game. There's also upgrades to weapon but the only one you can upgrade is a assigned AR that is permanent.

The story? I think I'm halfway through and still there's no development of any kind, be it character or plot. It's like one of the Coin Arcade games where you barely have time to pay attention to the story and you just have to blast past through waves of enemies. The characters are as cliche as they come. They are different classes on paper but during the game it makes no difference at all.

It's almost like Vanquish (also a Sega IP) but at least the latter has some fun game mechanics and stages.

Am I the only one disappointed with the halo 2a maps
Ascension, lockout, sanctuary, Zanzibar, and assension have all been redone before. Warlock the leacked map is the only one that hasn't. There's so many good maps why choose 5/6 maps that have been remade before(some 3 times already) why not maps like turf, relic, terminal, waterworks, colossus, containment and backwash. Maps that haven't been redone before. And I only give them half credit for warlock because it's not one of the better maps, it's not a bad map, but there's easily 7-10 maps that haven't been remade that are superior.

I wouldn't mind if Locke was the main character in Halo 5. I still like the Chief and I think it would be really great to play another character along playing the Chief just like we did in Halo 2. I get the feeling Halo 5 will be more emotional than the other Halo entries.

Theyre both primary characters from the looks of it. Similar to Arbiter and Masterchief probably.  Youll likely play as both

roomalive looks great,
hopefully one day something like that is possible for the mass marcet

and halo is an ego-shooter, there are a lot more important things, than the person you play

I thought people would be happy to play another character.
New story, Halo world will be seen in a different perspective, possibly a new style of gameplay, new weapons. So much plus.

My guess is a large percentage is played by both. i dont mind as long as Locke is interesting

I like how some Halo fans panic every time there's a possibility of playing someone else other than the chief, I actually like controlling other characters for a change :)

Locke better not be the main character. Fuck that shit

Dual Campaign FTW just like H2.
