Well after I read this detailed review of what they've done to improve things since Uncharted 3 I was hooked: http://www.3dtested.com/2012/11/05/the-last-of-us-50-changes-and-improvements-part-1/
You're not alone, but I have to ask; when did you play your first Halo game?...a55a55inx
I got my original Xbox mid 2002 and Halo CE a couple of weeks later. And I understand that I'm not the _only_ one who isn't a Halo fan but I feel pressured to like it because of all the talk it gets. Made me wonder how much of an outcast I was... so I'm glad there are a few others here who feel the same. Still, I'll keep an eye and ear on the H4 release. I haven't given up totally yet :)
OK, this is a bit controversial so please, no flaming. I'm nervously awaiting H4. The Halo series has never stuck with me. I've played them all except the recent Anniversary Edition and had some good fun playing multiplayer with friends over the years. The visuals have improved (esp. Reach) but I don't find it very engaging and a bit boring compared to other FPS's. They all feel too artificial. I think it's a combination of the movement (static/level camera, no recoil, float, constant speed), and visuals (especially anything inside or on buildings). Some of the outside environments are ok. It all feels like it's running on the Quake engine. I much prefer the look, feel and action of other FPS's like BF, COD (any), etc. For an exclusive franchise I'd have expected more. As a comparison Gears (exclusive, though not FPS) is a stand-out - very well done. I don't see much changing with Halo 4. Obviously they're not going to change things dramatically so I don't think it will be for me. This might be the first that I don't buy (or perhaps wait to pick it up used). I'm hoping that after H4 the team will move on to something quite fresh.
