I'm totally fine with your opinion on Halo, I just totally disagree.MakerOfRoads said:
I just don't understand how you can compare a PC-only RTS with a FPS Shooter series.
Starcraft 2 may be amazing, I have yet to play it, I just don't think it's possible to compare the two.
1) Call of Duty (People need to notice a broken multiplayer game when it is right in front of them)
2) Halo (Sure I like them, but calm down people.)
3) Half Life (There is nothing cool about Gordan Freeman, not even in the slightest)
4) Portal (A rather boring, pointless game)
5) Team Fortress 2 (Fun at first, but you guys need to stop obsessing on such a repetitive game.)
And....I think thats about it. Sure there are plenty of bad games out there, but these are the common obsessions that bother me.

Half Life 2, and anything made by bioware, both of them are good games granted, but Im just so sick of every thread related to good gameplay, classics, famous stories, recomendations, or any other form of game praise being littered with JUST those titles.
If it is a good game then praise it. I have nothing against it, even if they praise games I personally don't get at all like Halo series, WOW or Modern Warfare.
And a note: if you don't like the praise then either a)deal with it because there will always be fans/fanboys who will praise their object of admiration no matter what any of us say or do or b) stop using the internet because it's the only way to stop hearing the praise or at least scale down the amount you hear.

People bitching about halo. Ok, you disliked it: we get it.
That goes for the other side of the spectrum, too.
They're decent, but when you think about it, almost every sequel is the same game with a new feature.

I'll say Bioshock as well. It was an interesting enough world I suppose but I never found the game mechanics all that interesting. It was a middling shooter that included an utterly irrelevant upgrade system. Honestly, where I was expecting something similar to System Shock, I was handed the a spiritual successor that was the equivalent to Deus Ex Invisible War. It was a perfectly functional game and obviously exactly what plenty of people wanted. It just wasn't the game I wanted. My first two attempts to play the game ended in frustration and irritation. Eventually, months after purchase, I sat down and finally got far enough along that the story and world started to compensate for gameplay that bored me to tears and I finished the game.Uzigawa said:
Where the other 3 are just your personal tastes, the game Half-Life 2 has a huge plot. You just have to pay attention in the game. Honestly, the only thing in the game explained by Half-Life 1 is how the aliens came, everything else is in the game. As for Portal, it's not the game that made it so good, it's the writing. It did do the puzzle section very well and it was very innovative, but the writing is the thing that people usually praise.Damiv said:
