The Anomaly That is ODST

This article is not for the hardcore fans. Chances are, if you are a hardcore fan you've already completed the campaign. This article is also not for the non-fans, if you're a non-fan, you've already passed this by.

This article is geared for those of you sitting on the fence. Those of you who are wondering what the fuss is all about, and you want to try the game, but you're hesitant on dropping $60 on an expanded, glorified expansion pack. This article is for you. The fence sitter. The waiter. Should you buy ODST now, or should you wait for the price to drop? That's what this article is all about.

another blog bashing halo 3 odst...lame

JimmyJames706092d ago

WHAT? You obviously didn't read the article. It doesn't bash the game in the least bit. It actually says it's going to maintain value for a very long time and recommends to buy it.

This just proves many members of N4G don't even read the story and decide to comment. He just looked at the title and thought anomally was a negative word and decided to report. Lame.

I'm on the fence about whether or not I want to actually pick up Halo 3: ODST. I thought that Halo 3 was well-done, but it didn't necessarily blow me out of the water. The Toys R Us deal that's going on through Saturday with the $20 gift card is pretty nice, but I'm thinking I'm just going to wait this one out, and maybe pick up Halo 3 again from Goozex, and wait for ODST to become available on Goozex, as well.

I really love users like tatotiburon who don't read and just try to get the first comment in based on what they think the word "anomaly" means in a sentence with ODST. Looks like he's a bit of a bitter fanboy about some of the less than stellar reviews that Halo 3 received two years ago.

As for all those on the fence dont read this just rent it dude just says price is never gonna drop till after reach hits cause of the beta. IMO if reach turns out to b worth 60$ for a beta key u can still buy this at 60 bucks latter. But for value on the disk all i can say is do yourself a favor n rent it. You'll b done the campaign and firefight b4 the weekends over (ps remember ff has no matchmaking so if u want play set up a session with yur friends b4 you rent.)

Unicron6092d ago

Tato got owned by... himself? Wow, that's a new one.

christian hour6092d ago

If theres anything to get offended by, its by the articles author saying that halo 2 is a good place to start for those new to the series because its cheap and backwards compatible... so is halo 1. Isn't that the most logical place to start for people who are new to the series? Also its held as a favourite amongst fans. But thats partly due to the fact it was everyones first time experiencing the halo universe, of course its not gonna be the same the second and third time around :P But even still thats not worht getting offended over. There is nothing offencive in this article unless yr a wound up fanboy or you just read the headlines.

I found it useful as I'm on the fence as well about getting this. But its mostly due to money. Too mny multiplat games coming out soon (ass 2, modern warfare 2) and of course Uncharted 2, AND i gotta pay off flights to amsterdam. Halloween in my favourite city of all time :) cannot WAIT! Might pay guerilla a visit.

Go bury yourself...that was UBER FAIL....

StanLee6091d ago

Are there people on the fence about Halo. It's a very divisive franchise. You're either for or against it seems.

I found this line especially, well, poignant is a strong word, but perhaps meaningful: "if you havn't already purchased the game, chances are you're just not that into it." I think this answers whether I need this game. Even though I have all 3 Halo games so far. And the MC helmet. And the graphic novel. Hm. I may need to buy it just to keep up appearances.

DARK WITNESS6092d ago

I would say buy it..

I own all the books, all the halo games, two legendary editions.. and I would say as i fan it's worth it.

I am not going to write some long a$$ post, but in a nut shell from someone who love's halo CE till this day and didn't think halo 2 and 3 were as good; ODST, is my next favourite game ( campaign wise ) after halo CE.

I enjoyed the campaign much more then halo 3.

for people who are not halo fans...well i don't even know why any of you would be in here reading these articles, but we know it's not your thing.

If your on the fence, I say jump off, stick in on legendary if your worried about it being too short and just enjoy it. I did and would say it really is worth the money. infact I would say, take your copy of halo 3 and trade it in for odst... you may as well. you get all the maps and a better campaign. ya it's shorter, but it's more fun. IMO anyway.

now... back to more halo.

Ninjamonkey6092d ago

I think the game is supposed to be on a sale in a store near me actually.

So you can get it bellow the price of a normal game.

Foxgod6092d ago

Indeed, i completed it already, gameplay is mighty fun, just like i expected from a Halo game.

Meus Renaissance6092d ago

When I tried to publish a story linking to the Bungie website, it was failed. When a story is bashing ODST from a damn personal blog, it's approved and people here talk about media bias and fanboys?

Suggestion.

Anyone who wants to talk games - go to NeoGaf

HDgamer6092d ago (Edited 6092d ago )

Proof you don't even read or you literally have someone reading for you.

You actually believe that this bashes ODST, I love that blind excuse

Meus Renaissance6092d ago

No I don't read anything at all. This is an automated message

gamesR4fun6092d ago

common just go already...

n cry me a river your story didnt get published if it got shut down by rabid fanbois why dont you tell a mod? They will approve it if its newsworthy...

JokesOnYou6092d ago

"This article is also not for the non-fans, if you're a non-fan, you've already passed this by."

-Nope, gamesR4fun is already here.

-The article isn't neccessarily bashing ODST, but how many blogs do we need about the same thing? Theres tons of reviews, Gamers will decide.

This collab proves that New Halo games coming to Playstation: CONFIRMED

The last pillar has fallen XD

Tedakin290d ago

I mean Helldivers 2 is coming to Xbox in 2 weeks. It has a Playstation Studios logo on it. The first pillar has fallen.

lukasmain290d ago

LOL you think a live service game is a Playstation pillar? hahahahahaha

1Victor288d ago

The first pillar has fallen.
🤦🏿 Well the competitor’s house already got 2/3 pillars down and the 3rd one is rotted to the core about to fall any minute now bringing down the glass house of cards down FOREVER 🤣
THE WAR IS OVER DEAL WITH IT

Reaper22_288d ago

It doesnt matter. You can get playstation stuff on PC. That pillar fell a long time ago. And next gen it will continue to fall.

Tedakin290d ago (Edited 290d ago )

@lukasmain Their one successful live service game, and their most successful game in the last few years. Yeah I do.

lukasmain289d ago (Edited 289d ago )

It's not a pillar. Expect ALL live serviice games to come over. That includes that upcoming Marvel Tokon Fighting Souls as well at some point. But the PILLARS are the amazing single player games. The games they built their brand on. Helldivers LAUNCHED on PC. It's not a Playstation Pillar
