Halo 3 amzing or a waste of time?

Well in case you weren't aware halo 3 came out not to long ago. This might come as a surprise seeing as how quite this has been kept. But the debate is does this game live up to the hype? Bungie's first two attempts at games missed the hype by a long shot and if you didn't like the first two halo games this won't be much different. The first thing most people look at when they buy a game is the campaign. Well if it's halo's campaign you’re looking at don't blink because you just might miss it.  The game's campaign follows the same linear pattern that we've come to know and hate, run forward shoot, run forward, shoot, run forward, shoot. There's a word for that: repetition. Now some of you have either stopped reading or started swearing at your computer, calm down because halo 3 only gets worse from here. So I finish campaign and decide I've had enough of playing out a cheesy sci fi movie plot for one day I'll try multi player were I don't need to see Bungie's pathetic attempt at creating a story. So I get on Xbox live and play all the new features. Oh wait sorry that made it sound like there are multiple new features there is one. ONE. On top of that it sucks you all know what I'm talking about forge. Make your own online maps that idea has so much potential but once you find out your creativity is limited to where you want to place weapons and vehicles you might be pretty pissed off. So I tried it and the only fun part of forge comes in deleting opposing player’s vehicles but when it happens to you it's not so great, but even deleting vehicles loses its fun in about half an hour. Other then that you play pretty much the same multi player that has been used since the first halo. Some people may not have a problem with that but I look at this and am puzzled at how it could possibly pass up for next-gen. Speaking of not next gen what can really make or break a game is visuals. The graphics in this game are passable at best I have scene much better everything is way too bright the character models for the human solders especially are sloppy and not detailed, the environment can look rather impressive in some areas but nothing to jump up and down about. Now I'm going to wrap up a topic I began earlier campaign did you the tag line for halo 4 is finish the fight...again yes you dish out $69.99-129.99 and bungie failed to produce a definite ending.
 So my halo rant is almost over I hear all the 40 year old halo freaks letting out a sigh of relief everywhere. No I know many people are going to look at this and say well Halo got great reviews so how should I know more then the reviewers. Readers let's all put are heads together and think if game spot of ign gave halo 3 a 5/10 what would happen? Do you not think the halo fans will stop going to their website?  Another funny thing I noticed was that on game spot readers could write a halo review before the release and all the halo freaks were giving it a near perfect-perfect score how do they know before playing the game? Does this strike anyone other then me how biased halo fans truly are and no matter what bungie gave them they would love it. Over all I will give halo a 5/10 score. Barely passable as a game and by the way there is nothing innovative about this game that separates it from other first person shooters just allot of hype. Now I will clear the air by saying I AM NOT A PS3 FANBOY I have 360 and like 360 just not halo. Thanks for reading and I'd like to thank the halo fans in advance for your stupid comments on this blog probably just saying that im gay or something because trying to defend halo is a lost cause. Goodbye and halo fans enjoy playing halo wars and try not to suffocate yourselves with your master chief helmets.

i do like halo but i do see your point. The 360 does have better games than halo and some coming out. Bioshock and gears of war being the biggest ones, and coming up mass effect.

SmokeyMcBear6768d ago

well if you think about it.. sitting in front of a tv whether it being watching cable or playing video games is a waste of time, and people play halo on average a lot longer than normal, then yes.. it is a colossal waste of time.

Twizlex6768d ago

Well, if I had to pick between amzing and a waste of time, I would pick waste of time because I don't know what "amzing" is. Hahaha, I'm just kidding - I know you meant "amazing". Seriously, though, I do think Halo 3, and all of the Halo games for that matter, is overrated. I'm not sure if saying something like this will bring on the wrath of the 360 fanboys, but if they read MY blog, they should be well aware that I'm definitely not a Sony fanboy. Anyways, I do think the 360 has better games and is capable of better games than Halo 3. I don't know why Sony fanboys keep saying that the 360 is going downhill because our best game is out and we have nothing to look forward to. I usually just chalk it up to the fact that teenagers' brains haven't fully developed their logic cores, and I give people the benefit of the doubt that maybe they are just young and don't know any better. Then their frustrating sentence structure and lack of actual words hurts my brain and I have no alternative but to blurt out obscenities and call everyone stupid. So, sorry for that. But back on topic, I agree that Halo, while a decent game and slightly innovative, is definitely not amazing, and is definitely not the best the 360 has to offer.

Dang man, why did u buy the game? If u didnt think the first 2 were good why in gods name would u buy the third one?

U halo bashers need to suck it up, shut up about the game already your not goin to stop the ONE MILLION people playin the game daily by one of your posts on here, i dont go around on WOW blogs or Heavenly Sword blogs and say their games are awful and NO ONE Should PLAY THEM BECAUSE U SHOULD LISTEN TO ME[ yeah thats wat u all are saying in a nutshell] u just need to give it up

your Blog is the lost cause

I think someone just really SUCKS AT HALO and thinks that any game that he isnt good at just isnt a good game at all

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing3d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit3d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing3d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster923d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
