Then it's Assassin's Creed without Question.

Bioshock was mediocre and disappointing.
Rock Band is fun but just not "enough" to be the best. GHIII, same thing.
Halo 3 is crap.
Mass Effect sounds fun if it's your thing and boring if it isn't.

ROFL

Bull@(#$.

That's the same rant I've been ranting for years. I'm about as picky as gamers get these days, and hugely partial to storyline games. Doesn't mean I'm automatically in love with Mass Effect. And not being interested in Mass Effect does not mean one is a dull-witted twitch-gamer. It simply means that you don't want to endure repetitious mediocrity for what MIGHT end up being a good story. And frankly, having read the Mass Effect story, I fail to see what's so fantastic about it.

The extreme irony of this post is that it's a super Halo fan complaining about people who can't put down the crappy twitch games for a bit of story. I THINK you might have broken the universe there.

Not your place to say. Being that this is all based on opinion and last time I checked my opinion carries just as much weight as yours I'd say that that is pretty jackass of you.

Never did I say that having an in depth storyline automatically makes it the greatest game ever. I said that it will appeal to some and not others. The reason it won't have an appeal like COD4 or Bioshock is that most people can't sit through a game that isn't constantly run and gun.

Never did I say that.

Until you've played through the whole story yourself, that really holds no weight in this discussion. Et al, you haven't played it yourself, so you really have no idea.

Once again. This makes you a jackass first and foremost is that Halo is a good game that you have many times indicated you have a vendetta against just because it's popular with everyone and that happens to include many immature people, which is fine with me. That's your opinion to have, just don't try to classify me as 1. You really haven't the slightest clue what I'm like or what games I do like. And 2. Prior to these last 2 days the last time I played Halo was back in November, so please feel free to remove your foot from your mouth.

If that was humor or sarcasm, that's fine but it doesn't convey well over the internet. I take particular offense to people who try to classify me. That will always end up in debate and I don't find it humorous.

Yeah, it was sarcasm. I hoped the smiley would help but re-reading it does sound a lot harsher than I intended. I meant it all in a sort of light-hearted chuckling/joking around sense.

Didn't mean it to sound like it's a bad thing to like Halo at all. I just noted a bit of irony and had to point it out.

Sorry, man. I really didn't mean any offense. Very poor choice of words and arguments on my part. I apologize.

The point that I failed to get across is I don't understand the idea of "tolerating" the less-than-perfect gameplay for the story. I LOVE a good story when it's accompanied by a game that's fun to play. But I see no benefit in playing a game I don't enjoy just for a story. Story over gameplay in games makes no sense. That's what movies are for.

Still, you're right that I haven't played Mass Effect so my opinion on it is invalid.

COD4 kicks butt...too bad the game engine makes me dizzy

Maybe you missed the title of the thread. Its called "Game of the Year".

Didn't you just get a 360 anyway? Are those the only two games you've played?

I'm not trying to flame, I just can't imagine you've played Mass Effect, Assassins Creed, Bioshock, The Orange Box, or CoD4 if you're suggesting skate as game of the year. Forza might be up there, but I wouldnt call it GotY.

this is the 360 thread, what were you expecting?

boo for c0ck of duty 4!

rock band is meh, still growing on me

the rest i havent played

I'm probably talking to a dead screen by now. You got your 10 posts in to get in the classifieds and you'll never 'contribute' again.
