Gametrailers always puts spoilers in their reviews, so I would advise people not to watch this. I've already heard from someone that there ARE spoilers in this review about some people who die.

Ace_Pheonix5346d ago

You mean like everybody? Being that it's a prequel and Master Chief is the last remaining Spartan? I mean I don't even like Halo and I know that everyone in that game is going to die. Which oddly is why I think I might enjoy this one, I always like tragic story lines when untouchable characters actually get hurt and die.

mt5345d ago

but what spoilers are you talking about .. like almost all the review is about the multiplayer gameplay.
it is like the game has only about online.

UP5346d ago

Thank God they did not give it a 9.5 or above or there would have been hell to pay.

UP5346d ago (Edited 5346d ago )

It would have been hell to pay because of Shane at gametrailer's saying that no game that is not original will get a score of a 9.5 or above on this site (though gears 2 and halo 3 are exceptions). This was responding to their Uncharted 2 review. On the note of gametrailers, has their been a ps3 game to score a 9.5 or above on that site.

Why the disagree: what Halo Reach should have been exempt from this rule.

dark-hollow5346d ago (Edited 5346d ago )

Why you people hate disagrees that much?
Some random guy on the internet disagree with you
what the big deal?

mt5345d ago

i guess that is common sense

DavidMacDougall5345d ago

That whole review he was defending it, he says the single player is getting old and its the same shit for 6 hours yet its design is perfect?

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.

robtion852d ago

Agree Fallout should be on there.

MadLad852d ago

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

Crows90852d ago

Hollow knight surpasses these.

shinoff2183852d ago

In lore? I must be missing something

Crows90852d ago (Edited 852d 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.

DarXyde851d 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

Crows90851d 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.

DarXyde851d 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.

TheColbertinator851d ago

Suikoden and Legend of Heroes also have massive lore setups.

agent13851d 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

shinoff2183851d 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_looken937d 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.

SullysCigar936d ago

Par for the course with 343.

Profchaos936d 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_ESP937d ago

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

just_looken937d 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.

badz149936d ago

more like the bunch at 343i are simply mentally challenged

ACEMANWISE937d 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.

zidane1341936d 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.

Crows90936d 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.

Profchaos936d 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

Crows90936d 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.

CobraKai936d 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.
