Another Halo, some shovelware and gimmicks. Yay E3?

Holy shit, when did this place become /v/? As much as a point as he has about the lack of innovation, damn. Next thing you know we're going to be discussing how much we miss the feel of videogame related topics on the videogame board.

EDIT: Dude, saw your 2nd post. Edit your OP, or else this is going to be nothing but a flame thread.

Edited ^_^

Aight, to continue, I agree that games in general need innovation. After all, if it weren't for innovation, we wouldn't have all these sequels in the first place.

What? Surely proper innovation means that sequels would a) have less of the samey crap to pad them out and more new stuff. They might still be there but they'd be somewhat different.

If it weren't for Final Fantasy 7 innovating gaming and making them story-based and jumping to 3D after FF 6, we wouldn't have that shit that is FF XII and XIII. See what I mean? When something innovates in a likeable way, it attracts a bunch of shitty sequels most of the time.

Yeah but what I'm saying is that with continual innovation shit like "Mario Jumps on something else, IN SPACE, 2!" wouldn't exist. I think we agree at a seminal level.

Ah, those types of sequels. Yeah, I see. Yeah, more innovation at a higher level really is needed. As much as I liked Mario Galaxy, I think that we do need to do new shit.

Am i a bad person if I want to get Halo 4? Serious question. Because apparently any game related to consoles, FPS, or popular franchises here are considered an abomination.

Maybe? Because Halo games have been the same thing over and over with tweaks and only minor improvements/changes.
I thought that was the point to making a sequel to a video game but perhaps I'm wrong.

IMO i thought Halo 3 and Halo Reach are a lot more different compared to their predecessors.

JNA since you have that badge you may have heard this before from our own Yahtzee.
"Sequels build on their predecessors". This doesn't mean they copy them exactly.

I know exactly what you mean. I was just questioning the halo games always being the same with little to no change in game mechanics, improvements or lore. It's true to some extent but it's not like NFL Madden same XD.

Fuck you OP. I like PC a lot, consider it my main platform, but you're an elitist prick. These conferences...sucked. They honestly weren't that great but the games they presented were the games I wanted to see. If want more, I'll use this handy device called the internet. Now shut the fuck up and sit down.

u mad, bro?

Seriously. What.. the.. fuck..

Mass Effect 3.. kinnect? That is the most retarded thing EAWare has done to date, almost eclipses that shitty game Dragon Age 2.

People get to flail and stomp around like a herp derp retard...
