I watched some game play and multiplayer videos and I was less than impressed. It looks and plays exactly Halo 3 and Reach. Not to mention that they're just milking the story at this point. I'm betting Halo 4 will have the ultimate "been there, done that" feeling attached to it.
Don't get me wrong, I love Halo. I've played the entire franchise and enjoyed it. I thought 3 wrapped up Master Chief's story nicely. I thought Reach, as a prequel, was brilliant. Heck, I even enjoyed ODST. But, it's time to let sleeping dogs lie. They should have quit with Reach, while they were ahead.
This sounds great! I haven't played DOTA in probably about 5 years....I just got fed up with all the rage quits since having unbalanced teams pretty much ruins the game.
Hopefully Valve will implement some sort of ban on those who routinely quit.
@mrfidget Not necessarily true. There are many games that I would consider "good quality" that I've gotten tired of and sold. It doesn't matter how good the quality is, after a while playing the same game over and over again just gets boring.
This is the inherent problem with games like this: nobody really buys them or wants to play them (with the exception of maybe Elder Scrolls and Zelda). The market is so small that it's almost not worth the money to develop. I'm not saying that these games shouldn't be made, but at least have realistic expectations for sales.
Let's face it: the majority of video game players play either shooters, sports games, or family friendly mini games (a la Wii). That's just the way things are. If you're going to dump money into an RPG at least realize that you'll only be appealing to a small segment of the market and spend the money accordingly. And don't act surprised when your game doesn't have blockbuster sales.
