Don't give me that "it's good it you read the books" I already read the books. The books are actually pretty decent, but that doesn't make the game itself suck any less. Take The Flood for example: In the first game, you spend about 45 minutes to an hour running through a long Hallway of One Texture doing pretty much the same fucking thing over and over until you hit the next room. The Flood somehow made this entertaining, something TEH BEST GAME EVAH failed to accomplish.
The saddest thing about this entire franchise is that the absolute best game was the altered-reality game "I Love Bees" which wasn't even created by Bungie, but by a company who actually KNOWS good story structure: 42 Entertainment. And I bet none of you douchebags even knows what "I Love Bees" OR what an altered reality game is. But let's let that slide for just a moment while I point out that this game was more engaging, had better character development, has superior voice acting, and was much more fun than everything else in the Halo franchise, ever.
Oh by the way, Bungie's superior series was Marathon. Watching Bungie go from the grand trilogy that is Marathon to the utter shit that is Halo makes me lose my faith in modern gaming.
Come on, could you even give a legitimate reason for hating it other than "because?" Sure, they aren't the greatest or most innovative games, but they did popularize a lot of current FPS mechanics. It was repetitive at times, among its other flaws, but its in no way bad enough for this kind of rage. From your post, I just get the impression that you're hating on it because it's popular.
Not to mention insulting everyone who enjoys it. Way to stereotype.
Jesus, what the fuck is wrong with people these days? I mean, I'll have sympathy if English isn't your first language, but other than that, the OP CLEARLY states that this thread is for your opinion. Your. Fucking. OPINION.
Not facts. Not reasons. Not documentation to back up every fucking sentence (Citation needed).
I don't have to explain shit. My opinion: Halo sucks, Marathon was better. Simple as that. And being the predictable fanboys that you all obviously are, you start jumping on me with "WHY DOES IT SUCK GIVE ME A REASON! NOW!" Shut the fuck up and stick to the topic. If you really WANT me to explain why I feel Halo is complete garbage, then either do it on a related topic, or if I get enough requests, I could put it all together in a video because it would take SEVERAL ten minute videos to explain the massive amounts of fail that is the Halo franchise.
Some of you fuckers even replied to me with shit that had nothing to do with my post. I even have one guy call me a "console-hating fantard" or something to that effect. I mean really? It was deduced that because I prefer Bungie's Marathon over Halo that I'm suddenly anti-console? That's some Sherlock Holmes deduction skills right there! Did you also deduce that I rape children in the ass and secretly want to fuck the shit out of my own mother because my favorite color is blue?
Stick to the topic people, and start uneccissary flame wars somewhere else, like Gaiaonline or /b/ or Facebook or some shit. Keep this shit out of The Escapist.
metalhead467 said:Scrythe said:Exactly. Halo isn't bad- it's just blah. The only reason people are saying it's bad is because it got more hype than the Crusades. Personally, I would rather play a Halo game than Bioshock- I hated that game with a passion (almost a fetish, actually)- unless I'm given a copy of Halo Wars, in which case, I'll go read a book (I'm currently enjoying "Going After Cacciato"). I really expected much better from Ensemble Studios.metalhead467 said:HALO IS TERRIBLE BECAUSE IT IS FUCKING TERRIBLEScrythe said:This whole series fucking sucked, and most people defending it are either in complete denial or ten year olds with worn-out trigger buttons on their controllers.

I have to disagree with Yahtzee on his points about the brightly-colored gloom of Halo 3's environments: I have rather poor eyesight, and Bioshock was constantly throwing it in my face because it was so damn dark (yes, I turned up the brightness on both the game AND the TV- it didn't help much). Besides, the Master Chief being able to see in dark places makes sense- in "Fall of Reach," his instructor remarks how well the Spartans can "see in the dark." Of course, Yahtzee probably never read the books, and the man is right so often, it's pretty easy to forgive his ignorance on that particular point.
If no one has said this yet, you should all feel ashamed. Behold: the worst game not just of this decade, but all time.

To anyone who rants about any other game: it may have been bad, but did it have collision detection, the technology that has been around since Pong?

after playing it for awhile, I was expecting so much more.
Spore was one of the biggest let-downs ever, EVER.
But at least it was fun for a while, I'd call GTA 4 the worst game of the decade.
It was just plain dull.

The only two games I bough off of the cover and kinda wish I didn't. I normally research a game for about a day before I decided to even play it. But the worst games for me of this past 10 years would have to be Baten Kidos. Both Origins and Wing. While yes a decent story and ok voice acting the combat system I hate. It's all about cards and if you don't draw and one you need for a combo or healing you're fucked. Lady Luck is a ***** and this game proves it. This game could have been so much better if they didn't use the damn cards.
Oh and also for me Zelda Majora's Mask and Wind Wakers. I would have liked Majora more if it wasn't the sequel to Ocarina of Time, but it fell short when you compare it to one of the greatest zelda games there has and will ever be.
Wind Wakers.. god I could go on was FUBARed when they went with the god awful graphics. The the story looked the old Zelda games in the face and said "Fuck you" and ran off to get a tattoo and be a rebel. And the sailing................. Need I say more.

I don't care if people don't like Halo, I know there are mixed opinions but worst game ever is just stupid. If that's your honest opinion, then you've only played good games the last decade, try a film gameJPRanger said:
You know superman 64 and Big Rigs Racing came out in the last decade? I can understand disappointing because of all the hype and I know the style of Halo isn't for every one but do you honestly think the single worst?Assassin Xaero said:

...ugh I give up, next time I will just avoid saying Halo as people are adamant it's the worst game ever made and the first person who says they hate it can feel original and an "independant" thinker.PoisonUnagi said:
Ahem......
Please please someone tell me the last good game D3 put out. Please? Sometimes in very rare cases a game like this might be good, but that really depends on the publishers and developers WHO MADE? WHO PRODUCED IT? Just give the publishers a look through at Wikipedia and see all releases, this can be a good indicator if you've got 'Fool's Gold' or not.
My brother won this game as a door prize For the Wii.. he knew I watched the show, so he gave it to me. Turned out.. it's a co-op game. Someone please tell me if its different on the other consoles. i know the Wii has its limitations but.. wow. bad.
The problems are varied and consistent.
1st of is the rendering, the animation is somewhat decent, Backgrounds and levels look believable. But the way the characters emote is just pure awful tasty goodness. when you emote, the whole face is suppose to change.. seriously. Go look at yourself in the mirror and watch as the muscles in your face change and shift when you smile or grin. In this game, the eye brows move and the lips change shape, but it doesn't mean they emote. The brows and lips shift, but the rest of the characters faces remain stiff to say the least. the Mii's do a better job at emoting. for shame.
A BIG problem is the Co-op for 2 players, My brother wanted to play as 'Gwen' so we looked at the manual.... i said Uhhh... who's your plan B? Guess what? We hit 2 players.. and we're both Ben. ... Ben. sometimes what some games will do when you pick the same character(BY CHOICE) you get a different colored rendition, or at last a different color saturation! Not this game. it said nay nay. Both Shall be identical! same color, shading and tinting an all! And it will be good! But what happens instead is figuring out which Ben you are, Punching this Knight's butt! Nope, that's the other player and you're stuck in a corner punching nothing! Another problem that kept making my mad was that fact that both you'd couldn't move forward unless both characters are ready. Not like the good old days with SONIC 2. As we all know and love, 'Tails' was just an AI that followed you unless a friend picked up the controller and tagged along. and thats just it! They tagged along! Sonic didn't need tails to be with him to proceed, Either you'd leave him in the lurch or you can even let him catch up! (but that only leads to you and 'Tails's' operator arguing, but its all in good fun right?) Neither of you could proceed unless both were headed in the right direction. Occasionally will happen is if one player gets lucky enough to proceed the other character will jump the others current position. It doesn't always work this way. Best way I can describe how is in the 2nd level, you have to climb some cliffs. My brother missed a jump and feel down to the bottom of the level. while i was stuck on top. and the Camera, was stuck in the middle. Where am i?! Where are you?! the camera toggles and shifts up and down like an ADD kid on a sugar rush! eventually i just started jumping up and boom, he was jumped to my position. How hectic is this?
Now let me tell you the bigger issue that this game has.. An identity Crisis. It looks like a variation from an Hack and Slasher, but it feels as it RPG elements are thrown right in. Is it an RPG? is it a fighter? is it a hack and slash? I honestly believe the game itself doesn't know. The Omnitrix itself has 3 separate bars, one for health, exp and how long you can use the Omnitrix for. So that's up for you to decide if Ye be brave enough to place this not-so-sacred relic into thy divine machina.
If you do, I pray your machine is smart enough to spit it back at you and say Dude, no! Now as i said earlier about the backgrounds, they are good, in fact, they're almost too good for this game, some of the elements on the level are intractable, but that only goes for stuff like benches, cotton candy carts etc.. My main problem with the levels is that they're... too long. or there aren't enough enemies. was trotting along for about 3 minutes before I found a knight to beat up. Most of the early levels have water, and for whatever reason, Ben Ten Can't swim. Either he never learned or the water is just that polluted. Boom instant death. But it's not instant death. Here's a problem that's existed since the early 80's with cartoons that are imported and edited to suit American tastes. The Hero Never dies, They can be defeated, but they don't die. when you jump and accidentally fall in the river, it doesn't say game over, it says defeated and asks you if you want to continue. Now here is a nice thing, when you hit continue you start just a bit before where you jumped off and fell in the water. It doesn't send you back to the beginning. Which I found to be a nice treat. That slowly lead me to realize the biggest problem this game has. You can't die. You can continue over and over and over til the cows came home.! Its needlessly generous with lives and continues. Heroes can't die! For the kids!
In conclusion, if you get this game without paying for it. do yourself a favor and trade it in. The Best part of Ben 10 Alien force was that i got 15 bucks for trade in credit towards pokemon platinum. so there's my silver lining. Its a bad game that will taunt you into never stop playing with endless continues and bad camera fixtures. Just breathe deeply, and walk away!
