Rensvert Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 Alright I am currently having a hudge debat with everyone on the face of the planet over this right now but it started with me and my roomate one day for no apparent reason arguing back and forth about the best video game ever and for some reason he said Halo. Which I totally do not agree with and to be honest am having a really hard time seeing why people think that is because plan and simple the game didnt do really anything for me I mean its an alright game but the story really wasnt that special I mean the first one did kinda have an ok story but the second one didnt really do anything at all for me the story was terrible, gameplay wasnt that much better the weapon changes for the most part stunk the AI really wasnt improved at all and heck even the graphics were the same. I mean besides the fact that Halo kinda has an alright multi-player as long as you have 4+ people playing. But over all why people think Halo is such a wonderful game I really dont know there are several games that did everything Halo did and more but havent been congrated for it. Now I'm not saying Halo isnt an alright game and I've got nothing against people who think it is a really good game but what I can't stand is how most people I know think Halo is the only true game and that all games that came before Halo were nothing and all games that came after Halo are nothing it just kinda makes me laugh all in all.

Streetfighter Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 I've probably played Halo more than any other person on these forums, and I love the game to a whole other level. But its not the best game ever made, not even close. Alot of things must be taken in to consideration when deciding the best. First off, there can't be one. Every gamer has their own selective gaming style, their own interest in how they like to play. This also is what makes gaming such a great thing, because there are games that appeal to everyone. If a game was made to fit all the needs of every gamer, the game would suck. No one would play it, because it has too much going on. There never will be a "Best video game ever." Just what you view to be the best in your eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crackwilly21 Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 Halo 2 is WAY better than Halo 1. The AI hadn't improved?! Thats retarded. You play it on legendary? If you don't, then you suck. Now, I'm not saying its the GREATEST game of all time, but its damned good. I won't even begin to think about what I think the greatest game is, cause it would take longer than I have, but when I do have time to think, I'll drop it here.

Streetfighter Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 Halo 2 has waaaayyy to many multiplayer bugs. WAAAAYY TOO MANY. Halo 1 is more balanced, although Halo 2 is more enjoyable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rensvert Posted November 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 I dont know to be honest Halo just didnt really do it for me and its not that I have anything against First person shooters dont get me wrong I much more enjoy a good old Final Fantasy RPG any day of the week over Halo but even from the first person shooter stand point it really wasnt that good of a game the story wasnt really anything new all it is, is basically another Alien story with a slightly different plot. The only thing I really have to thank Halo for is the control settings which several games have picked up on and taken since but plainly I miss the days of Goldeneye.

Streetfighter Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 Agreed, but I can say the same thing about RPG's and I play them as much as FPS's, but RPG are pretty much,(fight against all odds, get the girl, lose the girl, fight against all odds to get her back, save the world:end 60 hours of awesomeness) but its all in how they present it in the story board, which Square has always been good at.

Iusedtobesomebody Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 i prefer time splitters: future perfect to halo. better weapons (although no sword, i LOVE the sword) and 150 different characters to pick from. we play this when we want to shoot the crap out of things. best game ever? hrmmmm. my personal opinion (based on the amount of time i put into the game playing)... ff7. i played the hell out of it.

crackwilly21 Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 Time Splitters 2 kicks ***!!! It's SO awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rensvert Posted November 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 That I will agree with I thought Time Splitters was such a better game than Halo so many more weapons so many more playable charecters and so many more in game options. But favorite game ever thats a though one FF7 was a really great game that I have played and played and played again I have easily played through that game 15 times plus (I really didnt have much a life growing up that and I was homeschooled) but Finaly Fantasy Tactics I really liked that is up there on the greatest game ever sheet in my book at least.

Fiere Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 LOVED FFtactics. I haven't beaten it or anything, but I played it once and just loved it. I've played the GBA version too, and while not quite as good, it's still a good game. Also, daggerfall for the PC was friggin' awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homeschooled for the win. Thats why I was able to play so many RPG. Not alot to do when your sitting at home all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rensvert Posted November 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 My problem with the GBA version of Tactics is that it was made for such a younger audiance I mean the whole game is about a little boy who believe it or not gets put into a book by the name of "Final Fantasy" so the story line was a little childish. Plus the entire game was like mission based kinda like FFX-2. So that was kinda lame however the original story was really great plus it put an interesting twist on the Zodiac signs.
