Re: What game have you been playing?

In Response To: Re: What game have you been playing? (TalkingElmo)

: Yeah, it's all good. Hope I wasn't too antagonistic. :)

No harm done my friend.

: To be fair, I really liked the continuity of the new single player game.
: There was never a time where I felt like, "Ok, I'm at a good stopping
: point, I'll turn it off and go eat dinner." I didn't really mind the
: graphical pop-in for the cutscenes since there was no loading times.

Same here. Glad we can finally agree on something. ;)

: As for the cliffhanger ending, I still disagree. "Empire Strikes
: Back" had something of a cliffhanger ending. The Empire was still on
: the rise, Han Solo was frozen, Luke's Jedi training wasn't finished, etc.
: But Halo 2 felt like it didn't even wind to a close, where you could kind
: of sense that the game was nearing it's end, even though it left a lot of
: questions. To me, it just felt like they were making the campaign right up
: until they ran out of time, and then started rolling the credits wherever
: it was that they stopped. But whatever. That's not that big of a deal. For
: a video game, it's not where you end up that makes it fun, but the journey
: of getting there. And Halo 2's single player game was a decent amount of
: fun. I was entertained.

I can see why so many people hate the ending, but I think it's pretty good as it is. But I must say, It could have been a bit better though. They could have made a last level where you go look for Truth and when you just fought your way over to his room you'll find that the forerunners have returned or some crazy ending like that. That will have the same affect, or so I think.

: But don't even get me started on the multiplayer... :( I personally find
: HaloPC more fun, even with the massive amounts of lag. :(

HaloPC is my least favorite halo game. I like the addition of some new weapons and the banshee. But just like some of you say about Halo 2, "It doesn't feel like Halo anymore". Whenever I drive the warthog in Halo 1 on the xbox I feel as if i'm in that world. Because of the controller mostly. HaloPC doesn't have that feel to it. I only played it for a couple of weeks, now it's just gathering dust. Halo 2 keeps me playing, for now at least. Halo 2 just like HaloPC will not keep me playing the game for 2 years (or more), as it did with Halo 1.

But still, I like all the Halo games. Halo 3 can't come soon enough (Well, that's not entirely true, Halo 3 has to come when it's DONE).
