Re: Clarification. Slight Extrapolation. Expansion
Posted By: Stephen L. (SoundEffect) <soundeffect@hotmail.com>Date: 10/23/09 8:25 p.m.

In Response To: Clarification. Slight Extrapolation. Expansion. (Silent Knight)


: Sorry, guys, I was ranting. My main point was the weakness of the script.
: Just from a dialogue perspective, it doesn't hold up in my eyes. Some of
: the more blatant continuity errors are annoying, but not exactly game
: breaking. I really enjoyed the game, but parts were hard to listen to.

: Personally, I would have preferred a higher rating on the game. Here in Oz,
: that would mean R 18+. From what I understand of the US system, the game
: got an M, without age restriction (Some titles get M, others get M 17+,
: right?)

: If I thought Bungie had decided "Let's make more money and express it
: with supremely poor internet grammar!" Then, I wouldn't be supporting
: them anymore. It would be kind of ludicrous to accuse a game developer of
: developing games.

: It's also very odd how highly some people regard them. On this forum, we
: discuss the finer points of minor crap found in the game. It's fun to read
: into it and try to uncover a hidden story. The problem is, a lot of people
: can't distinguish between when we uncover a story, and when we create a
: story to gel it all together. Sometimes, in the latter, we just find a way
: to excuse someone's mistakes and make them look smarter. Like when someone
: sinks four balls in pool with one shot. They can always play it cool and
: act like "Yeah, I meant that to happen."

: And guys, you keep bringing up the price tag. I explicitly said earlier that
: I got it for a very reasonable price, so the tag isn't something I'm
: worried about. I'm talking about volume of sales. If you put a $10 tag on
: the game and sell $2.5 million, then you're going to end up with a lot of
: bank. It just feels like we got the G-rated ODSTs so that it didn't get a
: AO or R18+ restriction.

: I apologise for not being clearer. I hope this lays my views out. Script:
: piss poor. Maturity level felt like a Disney cartoon, but even those have
: intelligent jokes in there. Overall enjoyment while playing: fantastic! Up
: the stealth factor and you have perfect gameplay. (I may be exaggerating,
: but you get my drift.

I have little bad to say about ODST. I paid over $100 for mine (LE version) and I don't alt all feel ripped off or that I got a sub-par experience. It's as good to me as Halo 3 and is a nice companion to the Halo series.
