In Response To: Re: Dammit, did I miss my cue?! (Avateur)


: Whoa, calm down. I was just talking about your specific point of Chief magic.
: And Ezio still could use your love (which is advocating for you to play a
: game other than H3 or whatever anyway).

Ah, sorry, then I must have misunderstood you.

: You can totally enjoy playing a previous Bungie game! Bungie games are
: awesome. The gameplay rocks. The story itself was somewhat disappointing
: compared to what we got in H1 and H2.
: Your post was about the Chief, and you had quit playing H3 fairly quickly, so
: there obviously couldn't have been much magic there specifically regarding
: the Chief, Arbiter, or Johnson. It's nostalgia, plain and simple. At least
: something got you playing Halo again, nostalgia or not.

Personally, I felt I played the crap out of that game. At least as much as I've currently sunk into Mass Effect, Homeworld, Civilization, or Half-Life. I'll probably play through Half-Life 2 and its episodes again soon, and once I get a PC capable of gaming Homeworld is at the top of the list. I wouldn't call the desire to play any of the games nostalgia, but more like going back to a favorite vacation spot because it's awesome. Sometimes, you need time away from the place to appreciate it again. In the end, I think what's quitting a game quickly for you isn't the same for me.

: I don't know if I could personally put Master Chief in the top five, let
: alone the top ten on a list like this. It's all subjective, but if we're
: talking "all time" then I just don't see it. Maybe of the
: decade, sure (and he'd still have to compete with Mario, too).

This discussion reminds me a lot of that PAX East panel regarding 'The Greatest Game of All Time.' Like that panel, which basically settled on Ocarina of Time as the best ever right from the get go, we'll be able to name maybe the top one or two characters (Mario? Link?) and constantly debate the rest. Personally, I'd put Chief lower as well. That's probably because we're hardcore gamers, and have been exposed to more than the general public. Chief would certainly deserve to be higher on a list like this Guinness one because of his impact on the culture at large.
