Agreed. The AI on legendary in Halo CE is still a lot better than most games AI even today. Well except the friendly AI but then again what games today have AI driving you around a massive space and not in an extremely linear path? The way enemy AI relentlessly chases you when you are low on shields and how they hide when they are weak makes them come alive. A point could be made that while story in games has developed throughout the past few years, gameplay has halted or even regressed in a lot of genres.

Yeah I knew about cry on, supposedly it would make us cry a lot (literally).. that was the point of the narrative. Sounded really interesting.

I shed tears 2 times with LO (don't judge me), I wonder if cry on story would be even more effective.

The last story was underwhelming, the battle system wasn't that great. He should do turn based stuff, that's where he's great.

Most games seem to be taking the overly linear cinematic route.  Where as halo had great cinematics, large worlds, and great gameplay.  id agree, a lot has regressed

Lost Odyssey 2 is actually higher than Cry On by quite a bit. I get the feeling that alot of people just don't know what Cry On is since it was cancelled without much info being announced.

I love the fact that Shenmue 3 is the highest voted Japanese game on Xbox Uservoice (technically Buy Capcom is higher but that's a whole bunch of Japanese IP's, not just 1). It's nice to see just how many Shenmue fans there are and how passionate they are. I really hope that Shenmue 3 gets made, either as an Xbox exclusive or as a multiplat game. If Phil won't fund the game I really think that Yu Suzuki needs to go ahead with his plan to attempt to crowdfund the game, considering how many Shenmue fans there are and how passionate they are I feel like it would surely meets it's funding goal as long as it wasn't outrageously high.
