I saw about a million topics of Metroid and bioshock players saying that gamespot's review of halo 3 was biased. Well...halo has a great multiplayer that will last most players years, while Metroid 3 is nothing new, a standard fps with no online, and bioshock, while being a great game, has almost no replay value. How can those 2 games be even on par with halo 3's amazing multiplayer...?citizen-zero
Bioshock and Metroid don't have multiplayer, so a comparison would be irrelevant.
They aren't. People just use the bias card because they're don't want to admit that Halo 3 might indeed be better.
They think that just because Halo games are popular that they suck.

maybe on normal and easy but halo on legendary is also thinking mans shooter.

I own MP3. [I speak for myself] I really don't hold the games in the same regards as Halo. Halo encompasses a very different objective. For what SSBM has done for fighters, Halo has done for FPS in the casual gaming world. SSBM has allowed four player fighting competitions and consistent winners around excellent combinations of speed, gameplay, and fun. Halo did the same for the FPS realm.
Halo is just plain bad ass in four player competitions. Talk smack, back it up. We can't do that.
Metroid is so much more focused on just our single playered expoits. A selfish Halo.
:? I, and many others, are more interested in Halo 3s SP than the MP...Halo = Generic MP shooting game.

Agreed, I don't care howfast your reflexes are or what weapons you have, you have to think your way through Legendary.Halo = Generic MP shooting game.

Many. but not the majority ;)
Do you think those whiny-twelve year olds played through Halo 2 on Legendary? Or do you think they spent more time on it's Live MP? I'm thinking the latter...people like you and I, who enjoy a nice, deap SP, are rarer and rearer these days, unfortunately. You saw the threads before the releases of BS and MP3..."They will teh phail cuz of no multiplayer!"
Halo = Generic FPS
Metroid= First person adventure game
Bioshock= First person action adventure
What makes then better, well, they're heavy on atmosphere, and both have great puzzles, Halo is just shoot, shoot, shoot....
How on earth is Metroid Prime 3 a standard FPS? HelixTurnHelix
It's not, the TC has obviously never played a Metroid Prime game, otherwise it wouldn't have been said.

how does bioshock require thinking?
what plasmids to use (limited slots), what gene tonics to use, how to upgrade your weapons, and how the hell do you take on 3 big daddies at once?
Doesnt matter you are fighting a war. In most wars if you are a soldier you shoot, shoot, shoot.......and in video gamesit is a lot of fun. Halo onLegendary is shoot, plan, shoot, plan, shoot. So poop on you.Halo = Generic FPS

You have no idea about MP3 and it shows in your writing, but Halo 3 added alot more than MP3 like the edit mode, replays,and tons of new weapons and vehicles along with and ok stroy and steller multiplayer. MP3 and Bioshock and fantastic and way better than Halo 3 in the single player but overall Halo 3 has more to offer for a much longer time.wooooodeExactly and thats what you are looking for in a 60-70 dollar game.

Enrage :|
Plasmid use isn't as complicated as it sounds, and most of them are pretty straightforward. It's like in Halo, which weapon would be most useful, should you dual wield or use a single weapon, is using a vehicle a good idea.
See I can do that too. :|

Hypnotize big daddy is alot more fun, BTW.
And if you mean what you said, you have never played Bioshock.
Again replay value is probably the most important. And that is something that Bioshock and Metroid both lack considerably. Halo also has a great atmoshere and great moodwith the heart pumping epic soundtrack. And dont even try to talk about gameplay.mp3 has better gameplay
bioshock is more innovative and has a better atmosphere better story etc...
halo3 is really just getting praised on its replay value alone.

UT, Quake, and CSS are generic? Maybe so, but it doesn't keep people from playing it for years.

Don't ever remember turning being generic into a bad thing, but you say like we're saying Halo is a bad game. It is not as good as BS and MP3, IMO, but it's still fun. And that IS what counts.

Generic huh? How so? The first Halo wasnt generic when it first came outwas it? No. This is the third Halo. MP3 is also the third Metrioid. By now Metroids gameplay is pretty generic after 2 other games. The only saving grace is the cool motion Wii controls.[QUOTE="Slurms_M"][QUOTE="Shadow_op"][QUOTE="Slurms_M"][QUOTE="Shadow_op"]Halo = Generic MP shooting game.

I got Bioshock on day one.
And I didn't like Hypnotize's EVE use too much so I just activate the security and use that one plasmid (it's a blue ball but I forgot what it's called) on them.

I don't understand how all of you have played Halo 3. Isn't it another 4 hours?agentfredSome people already have it. Heard of your local gameshops? They will sell it a day or two early.
