Look, you cannot account any side stuff like books for how good the main games story is, while interesting to some degree the story of the halo games is nothing special.

[wildsolus]

borderlands could be considered shallow, what are your justifications for calling borderlands 2 shallow?

just curious

The problem with making a halo movie is the problem faced by a lot of game to movie transitions.
Condensing so much fluff and cannon into a feature length film whilst also staying true to the game and still being interesting.

Well, once you get past the whole "GUNS&PUNS" thing the gameplay is pretty bare bones I think, The weapon handling never felt all that good to me either. It's a fun coop game but play it alone and you'll see what I mean, well, if you're anything like me anyway. Speaking of weapons while there are a lot of combinations they just never felt all that different in the end, or rather, there were so many useless weapons and only a few properly good combinations.

Funny thing is that I'm a sucker for stat heavy rpgs and more stats (<<<<< rgd's) but borderlands never really clicked for me.

Well the Halo Anime did well, and so did the feature length live action film. Also. A Halo movie would do well so long as it wasn't following one of the games (cos people already know those stories). It would be great to make a film which took place in between 1 and 2, or before 1/ way before 1.

So your saying a movie about halo odst ?
Or a movie about halo wars ? And contact harvest?


Because prior to this humanity was unawares of the covenant and their intentions.
Which would make for a poor film due to most fanboys not knowing about the insurrection and the inner outer colony struggle.

They'd be like " duh where's dem letes wif dere nrg sord " .

fair enough

i played bl1 mostly coop with my brother and bl2 twice through on ps3 with 3 others and once on pc with my brother so solo didnt happen but when it did I had fun but it definitely loses some appeal ill give ya that

as for the gun combinations, i just think you're wrong. obviously it depends on your character/tree or if you want to use the most OP as fuck combo but if you're an 'average' player which i assume your not due to your mention of heavy rpg then i can see why it isnt for you.

i personally can't wait for the new psycho krieg. gearbox has yet to let me down with borderlands (never played Aliens remake or Duke, i like my gaming memories of original duke nukem).


i guess what it comes down to is borderlands tries to be a 'stat heavy rpg' in some areas which it obviously is not. i'm ok with that

[nikomas]

Haha, yeah... I'll look at the guns and go...

"This gun is a shotgun that fires rockets, cool!" > "Man, the damage is kind of low for rockets and the spread is horrible..."
"This gun shoots multiple blobs of goo at once!" > "To bad only 1 shot per salvo will hit, at best, if you're lucky..."
"Holy shit this needle pistolgunthingy fires hella fast AND is accurate!" > "Well, to bad the damage is shit and it ate all my ammo in 3 bursts..."

"Hell yeah, fire as fast as I can hit the trigger combat rifle does good damage, is accurate and has no issues! Best gun in my inventory!" > "To bad it's a standard ass combat rifle..."


Something like that, lol

[Sachaztan]

Trying to argue that a game has a good story just because a spinoff movie/book/whatever has a good story is kinda dumb.

With that logic the board game battleship has a story.

[Spartan_Marine88]

And yet Niko still tries to defend the super shallow X-com wrapped in a pretty package.

[Hicks58]

Considering I never got around to playing the original XCOM, I'm rather enjoying EU. Playing it on Impossible Ironman and it's one of the few recent SP games that'll actually give me a challenge.

A:CM and DNF are downright horrible games though, and only have any life in them due to their existing franchises.

[AmPM]

looooool a Alpha, those games are so bad.

[XIIcorps]

How?

Well I love halo too but it did take them 5 title's till they even had sprint in an fps
