WTF do you need to call a game good then ?

In my opinion, you need something that caters more to a specific taste, as opposed to an all around experience. In my opinion. Halo is like a Ham sandwich, with bread, and ham, devoid of all condiments. Mind you! This ham and bread are of pretty good quality, it just doesn't have any extra flavor. By it'self, the bread and ham are pretty much all you really need to form a sandwhich, but in order to make it truely GREAT, you need that specific flavor which only you can really decide. Halo is the barebone game which puts everything it needs to be "good", however Halo to me can and will never be "Great".  By adding pickles to the sandwich, you now alienate everyone who does not like pickles, however, those who do like pickles are quite a bit happier with the sandwich.

There are MANY people who played halo as they're first FPS game. They're not as experienced and well versed as many of the PC enthusiests, and thus you'll find tons of PC gamers that are just "meh" about halo.  Ending short because my boss is like eyeing me strangely >_>

 

 

Ok I understand your point.. but we are talking about videogames ... not a piece of art

I'm also a pc FPS user but this has nothing to do here.

I'm also more into the style of Killzone 2 than Halo (...) but the fact remains: Halo 3 is the most successful (most played / most sold) fps of this console generation.

Arguing about quality is a question of personal opinion ...

 

 



 

Evan Wells (Uncharted 2): I think the differences that you see between any two games has much more to do with the developer than whether it’s on the Xbox or PS3.

As John Carmack (Creator of Wolfenstein, Doom and Quake) says, given infinite time and resources, PS3 will result in better graphical results than 360, but in a limited time frame like 1-2 years and more modest budget for a game like Killzone 2, 360 will produce better results. So please drop that so called 40% claim, total bullshit. Its pretty much the max that ps3 can produce, because no matter how powerfull the cell is, it is confined by the limitations of

- RAM (even lower than 360 effectively)
- GPU (older tech. than 360)
- Architecture (programming nightmare and not suitable for all games)
- Bluray Transfer rates
- Resources
- Time

I agree in full that arguing quality is a question of personal taste ^^ But to me, Halo 3 is just too much on the generic side to fit any sort of personal greatness. It covers the basics well enough, but doesn't really define it'self as unique to me. It takes too many safe moves and just ultimately feels lacking, I like the bold adventurous differences that make games, I enjoy using that uniqueness to define the experience, and Halo is a series that doesn't really go down that road :P Not to say it's a bad game, just... Sci-fi version of shooter #2341239723492734. Good game, not great. But greatness to me shouldn't be achieved through average, it has to be defined ^^

I have to say I used to think the Halo games were only so-so, but after a year of playing Halo 2 at work for lunch, I think the multiplayer really stands up well. It may not be as amazing as everybody says, but those games have a lot of smart design choices. Little things like how having only two weapons forces you to try and find good combos that work at a wide range of distances.

I lol'd at the first Halo 3 pic - that guy looks so dumb. After that it kind of fell apart.

killzone 2 truly is the best looking console game when it releases, although i feel gt5 and gow3 will eclipse it.

2009 ps3 will see some of the best games this gen has to offer, all sony need to do is bring down manufacturing costs.

killzone 2 looks superb. im getting motorstorm 2 in january and killzone 2 and socom in feb, what great games to play on ps3.

ps. if you like old school shooters buy soldnerX on psn its superb.................

 

 GOW3 eclipsing it, did you see the trailer man? I was very disapointed.



PLAYSTATION®3 is the future.....NOW.......B_E_L_I_E_V_E

 

Consoles owned: Game Cube, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advance, Nintendo DS, PSP, PS1, PS2, PS3.

My prediction: NATAL WILL NOT help 360 sales. Maybe a 50-100k boost week 1, then a 30-70 k boost week 2, and back to the norm again after 3-5 weeks.

I like halo 3's graphics better, there colorful and KZ2 while it looks good is extremely grey.

Killzone 2 really does look impressive. but Halo is the King of Shooters
