Forums - Microsoft - Any 360 owners NOT buying Halo 3?

tk1797 on 09 September 2007

I didn't make this thread to bash Halo. Its a fine game but its just not my type. The same way metroid prime isn't my type. The reason why I created this thread was to see if there were people that didn't fit the stereotypical image of xbox 360 owners. If you like that game, that's fine. As for the people bashing Halo, just stop. I'm sure you like games that other people hate; I sure do. Hell, I actually liked the vampire rain demo and I really enjoyed Bram Stoker's Dracula for the super nintendo.

                 With regard to Call of Duty 4 having an ultra short single player campaign, I guess it may well have been due to the size limitations of DVD on the XBox 360, one of various limitations multi-platform game designers will have to take into consideration-Mike B

Game trailers-Halo 3 only dissapointed the people who wanted to be dissapointed.

Bet with Harvey Birdman that Lost Odyssey will sell more then Blue dragon did.

Is Halo 3 not your type, or are you not Halo 3's type? Anyways, at least play the game with your friends. Just because it's "not your type," doesn't mean you cannot squeese any enjoyment out of it. Every single game has some degree of enjoyment.

The books might go deep (I don't know, I've never read them but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt) but that doesn't make the Halo games deep. The Halo game stories are actually sub-par even for generic sci-fi stories. But hey, thanks for the good laugh. It's been a long day and I needed one of those.


With respect, twesterm, I think you may be missing the fact that Halo takes pretty standard sci-fi staples and executes them really well.

I watched an anime today called "Voices of a Distant Star". It's short -- just 30 minutes -- but most critics think the world of it. The basic story framework is the most cliche "1980's sci-fi anime" throwback you can imagine, but that story is told so beautifully and so well that you instantly forgive it.

The story of Halo is nothing special, but it is told very well.

Exactly. I personally like Halo (while the MP series is disappointing to me) and I don't mind people who don't like Halo (or those who love MP), but I despise the constant Halo-bashing that goes on these forums. If you don't like Halo, good-for-f***ing-you. Move on, plenty of people like the game and leave them to discuss the upcoming finale to the series.

I don't go out of my way to idiotically bash the MP series (even I have to admit that they are solid games, just not my flavor), the same temperence should be shown to people who like Halo.

Then again, every fanboy on Earth should be neutered with a rusty shovel, so take my opinion with a grain of salt.

Halo games are deep, what are the forerunners tell me, who are they? who made the flood, we know the forerunners did, but why, and who are they, where is this arc? You dont call those things deep? the books go into even more detail yes, but the halo games have alot of info.

Most of all who is this gravemind, we know he has something to do with leading the flood, but who is he, and who made him? Most of all he says hes a monument to our sins, is he talking forerunners, or humans? Is forerunners humans? who knows, its quite deep, and i would almost buy halo, even if it wasnt as fun as it is, just to figure the story out.

WTF is your problem twesterm, im argueing with a complete halo hater, and it seems you want to come in here and bash another 360 game. Stop bashing on me, play the game actually think on it. It is a matter of opinion, so im not going to dip into yours.

Stop being an ass

 


 Bash another 360 game?  What 360 games have I been bashing?  Do you mean Bioshock?  The game that I have been praising but still recognizing that it does have its flaws?  I can still love a game to death but still know that it does have things like bugs and bad pacing.  Bioshock is one of those rare gems that doesn't rely solely on gameplay (the only other example like this off the top of my head is FFVI).

 I perfectly agree that the story is done really well, in fact, I agree that the Halo series has done some amazing things for the FPS genre and consoles in general, I just don't think the story isn't anything all that spectacular or deep.  Of course I suppose I've been spoiled on, you know, actual stories since I almost minored in English and Medieval Studies (didn't have the time) and the girlfriend majored in English and I read a lot of the things she's read.
