[quote name='The Mana Knight']I think Halo is one of the most overrated series in video gaming and I don't see anything special about it. Yes, I bought the original at release and it was all right when I played through it, but it isn't the best thing in the world. I think most will be disappointed, but that's just me (I have 1000X more interest in Blue Dragon). I'm going to be pissed if stores are busy when I pick up DDR SuperNOVA, because I picked up the last three DDRs on release.
Anyway, played some Gitaroo Man Lives on PSP last night, and it reminded me how much I love the game.
I just saw that video.[/QUOTE]
Regardless of what you think of the series, it does not make it okay for anyone to attempt to ruin things for those who do enjoy the series. I think that Dynasty Warriors is THE absolute most overrated and unnecessary series (yeah, I'd put it over madden, pet simulators, brain games) ever, but I don't go trolling for comments and posting story bits (if anybody gives a crap about the story) to ruin it for those damn dirty unwashed morons who enjoy it. If you truly do not like something, than why do you care? Why do you waste your time on things you do not like?
I finished Halo 2 single player last night. I think that I enjoy that game more every time I play it. It absolutely has a lot of rough edges and it shows that Bungie had problems in development with overshooting the system's abilities and lack of time, but I really enjoyed the arbiter's story.
I started the darkness after that and holy crap, was I impressed. Really good voice acting, awesome attention to detail, and it's much grittier than I expected. I pretty much ignored this one at release, but I don't know why. I'm a big fan of mafia/crime stories. I couldn't believe I was watching the entirety of "To Kill A Mockingbird" in game on a TV set. The whole "cuddle with your girlfriend" thing was pretty goofy.
