Reload to before you've walked in darkness, and use the candlelight spell to keep yourself illuminated. To be safe, re-cast the spell when you're under the normal light sources of the level so that there's no chance of being in shadow at any point.

why dont you try thinking of real girls instead of polygons. Simulator_Shock

You know, considering how many of you came to this thread just to proclaim how disinterested you are... well...

Methinks he doth protest too much.... if you know what I mean.

The movies aren't CG, they're rendered all in real time....

No one said they were prerendered video files. If they're rendered in real time, that still makes them CG (computer generated) movies.

I did play them, all of them, and they all sucked. Hoped they would get better because it had some potential, but no such luck. You are just are just a Halo fanboy who takes the Master Chief as Jesus and the Halo series as the greatest thing to ever hit the planet when it really is nothing more than an average shooter with an average story that does not innovate in any area, and that caters to teenagers and young kids with bright colors and laser guns. Please don't lecture me about Halo, I am too busy playing real shooters where people's response to being shot is not to jump 20 feet in the air or use an "energy sword". Come on.

I'm not going to tell anyone that they have to like a game, but I've heard this precise argument against Halo so often that I just have to ask you to clarify a few things. Please take the questions seriously, even if they appear snotty.

When you say Halo is an average shooter with an average story, could you give a contrasting example of a superior shooter with a superior story? It would help if I knew what kinds of shooters have superior gameplay and how their stories are better in your view, as it would give some context.

Now your comment about Halo catering to kids "with bright colors and laser guns" is a little baffling. So if a game isn't monochromatic, it's childish? If a game has an energy weapon, it's for kids? If every SPARTAN can jump 20 feet in the air, how does that really affect the quality of combat? I could see you getting upset if only some people could jump and others couldn't, but you can aim upwards just as often as the other guy jumps, right?

In Halo you play as a cyborg with superhuman abilities. Should every shooter be like that? No, probably not. I like to play more tactical games every now and then for variety's sake. But I enjoy playing games that let me control an extraordinarily powerful character. If I had to spend the majority of every shooter hiding behind a crate for cover, I'd probably give up on gaming entirely. Sometimes I want high and broad action, and Halo delivers that.

Whew, this is a tough one. It depends on what area of music a score is shooting for. You know, I'd say that videogame music was far more inventive and interesting back when midi was prevelant. Descent had really cool music.

Deus Ex probably takes the cake for electronica. Myst III: Exile has an incredible main title, as does Halo, and Morrowind and Oblivion both have sweeping themes.

"On the surface, the Parasite expects the doctor to heal them for free, the farmer to feed them out of charity. How little they differ from the pervert who prowls the streets, looking for a victim he can ravish for his grotesque amusement."

I think Andrew Ryan had a pretty relevant point.

The opening of the first Max Payne, when his wife and baby girl are both murdered. That's some very disturbing subject matter.

It might not be an Xbox 360 native title, but Ninja Gaiden for me. I think I died at least three times before I even got past the Team Ninja logo.
