Halo Goes Out with a Bang

Welcome to Reach. The second-largest human colony in the Halo universe. A breathtaking planet of towering mountains, vast grasslands and glassy blue oceans. A rich source of titanium and the location of the United Nations Space Command’s largest naval base. But despite appearances, all is not well.

month and a half to go....its gonna be interesting to see the grudge match between Reach and Black Ops...a lot of people i have talked to are actually excited for Black Ops, Reach has a lot of successful titles behind it and from what i have seen, its looking like it will be the best in the series

wicked5070d ago (Edited 5070d ago )

They are a month a part, so plenty of time to play both :), just bad on the wallet :( But if I had to pick one it would be Reach.

after modern warfare 2 made me see the flaws in fps in general

SixZeroFour5069d ago

your basing the general fps after your experience in mw2? there are plenty other great games that do fps justice, hell youd get a better experience from cod4 cause at least they didnt try to go over the top with that game and it was a bit more balanced than mw2

battlefield, l4d, halo, killzone, CS, UT are all much better games to get an experience from and show less flaws than mw2...but each do have their own flaws

bf - slower, team based
l4d - repetitive
halo - no sprint, takes a lot of ammo to take someone down
killzone - weighty controls
cs - only on pc lol
UT - run and gun

what part of made me see the flaws in fps in general

Oldsnake0075069d ago

everybody knows that Reach is going to blow up.

The Meerkat5069d ago

Sales will explode.

But if the story is similar to the book, then the planet does not blow up. It gets glassed.

ForROME5069d ago

Black Ops? Owned by Activison? Bobby at the helm ready to charge subscriptions fees asap, maybe not on BO but asap,

No thanks to any game made by that company or that he is incharge of

BOYCOTT

HALO Reach, will be a blast and played for years just like the others

Cyrus3655070d ago

N2G5070d ago

How'd fallout not make the list. Atleast over cyberpunk, tales , and halo. Fallout been around since what 96 98 and has 5 6 games into it. It's full of lore when you play it. I'd even add star ocean to a point.

robtion538d ago

Agree Fallout should be on there.

MadLad538d ago

And somehow Planescape Torment doesn't even make the list.

Crows90538d ago

Hollow knight surpasses these.

shinoff2183538d ago

In lore? I must be missing something

Crows90538d ago (Edited 538d ago )

Yes in lore. Easily missed... absolutely. Never played a game that had me loving the world and lore behind it as much as that one. Most of course wouldn't be able to experience it since it is a more difficult game.

DarXyde538d ago

I can't speak for all titles on this list, but by the time you get to Dark Souls III, the lore is a bloody tapestry of intricacy

Crows90537d ago

Played them all. Im not saying the games on the list dont have good lore...I just think hollow knight had more lore that is hidden but present and more easily explored and accessed. The souls games have tremendous lore but theyre mostly hidden and stay that way unless you look for it and research it. The lore is not very accessible.

DarXyde537d ago

Crows90,

I think that's a somewhat fair assessment. For me, the Souls games are less upfront about the lore, but it does invite your fascination through NPCs, items, locations, bosses, etc. There's this kind of natural progression where the picture becomes just clear enough by doing the essential tasks, but it really makes you want to explore every inch of the world.

TheColbertinator538d ago

Suikoden and Legend of Heroes also have massive lore setups.

agent13538d ago

narration is more important than lore i'd rather watch the story and characters in a more cinematic way instead of searching for notes and stuff that's why i love sony exclusive games like uncharted and gow and hate from software games

shinoff2183537d ago

The article was top ten lore in video games. I think they did a bad job picking games out. I know what you mean though. I just like a variety of games and genres.

Awesome news - so can we look forward to playing Halo: Infinite with no online issues circa 2033?

just_looken623d ago

"You can download the improved Reach AI mod at Mod DB" This was a mod 343 did nothing so the online will be fixed in our dreams.

SullysCigar623d ago

Par for the course with 343.

Profchaos622d ago

They did say they had a 10 year plan for infinite we just all assumed it would be DLC could of been a 10 year netcode rollout.

But seriously this is a mod the community won't be able to modify infinite in the same way

Cikatriz_ESP623d ago

Combat Evolved was the best campaign, and it's not even close.

just_looken623d ago

You should have tried this version of reach when it first came out remastered for a year there was no sound because 343 could not locate the sound files.

It was a special challenge.

badz149623d ago

more like the bunch at 343i are simply mentally challenged

ACEMANWISE623d ago

Well I guess 12 years is faster than most fixes. I guess this is a cheap way to "remaster" something nowadays.....by just fixing something that used to always be broken.

zidane1341623d ago

Did you even read the article? This is a mod to improve AI from back almost 2 gens ago. Nobody is claiming this is remastering anything. Yeesh.

Crows90622d ago

Halo is dead. Microsoft has other shooter franchises it cares more about now. 343 are no longer Xbox golden studio. They are likely to shift things around or even close it all together and give the IP to someone else.

343i decided to pummel the IP into the ground...and when they see it didn't quite look like Glenn's face they decided to just keep on pummeling. Not sure if Glenn is the IP or the fanbase in this case though.

Profchaos622d ago

343 were never the golden studio they were a hastily thrown together b team when bungie said we want to do something else cya

Crows90622d ago

Well ...I didn't want to say it but I agree. Makes you wonder why Microsoft gave them the IP and didn't keep Bungie or any of the talent they acquired from any studio.

CobraKai622d ago

“ Halo Infinite, Halo 3, or Halo: Combat Evolved. It’s hard to say which of the sci-fi FPS games offers the best experience all round.”
He lost me with Halo Infinite.
