Am I the only Aspie here who DOESN'T like Halo/2?

Post Reply New Topic

Seriously, as much as I'm a fan of first person shooters, I find Halo/2 to be all talk, no substance. I feel like they're more deserving as budget titles than commercial titles. I don't see how they've "revolutionized" the gaming industry of the first-person shooter genre, for that matter. Everything Halo/2 has done, I've seen other games in the past have already done, and in some cases, much better than Halo/2 has done.

Am I the only one who doesn't "get" the Halo hype? Then again, who am I to talk? I <3 Doom and anything pertaining to Doom. Still, though, I don't get what's so "great" or "revolutionary" about Halo/2.

I haven't played it, don't think I will either.

Personally I have a fondness for Half-life 2, in terms of first person.

When I first played it I felt a level of immersion I haven't found in a game since.

Halo sux.

Half like 2 kicks @$$

Enough said.

I'm SO glad I'm not the only one. Yeah, I liked the music in the first Halo and that's about it. I'll admit I thought Half-Life/2 were fun to play, as well.

i cant get my head around the controls.
i always end up in a corner staring at my feet.

Ugh. I have an Asperger's friend who likes that game. And because he obsesses about it so much, he DRIVES ME CRAZY. So now I hate Halo in general...even though if they hadn't cancelled production, I would've loved to see the movie. ;-;

Red vs blue is by far the best thing to come otu of halo the game itself is a fairly mediocre FPS.

I played Halo/2 in the past a few times. Enjoyed it, but it was just another game and nothing revolutionary.

The game nevr really did much for me.

Do you mean the only aspie under 30 y.o.?

The only game I play is Cabelas Big Game Hunter. I used to like Flight Simulator.

I never played Halo 2 but I HATED Halo 1. Thought it was the most overrated game of all time. Ugly, outdated graphics, super seriously repetitive level design, simplistic plot (people keep saying that the Halo games have good stories, but I don't understand how), annoying Cortana voice overs, seriously repetitive level design, cliche after cliche, only 5 or so types of enemies, seriously repetive level design (wait, haven't I been in the EXACT SAME AREA like 3 times already before?), laughably bad dialogue, etc. etc. etc. It only got a lot of buzz because it was the first original FPS on a console that wasn't totally unplayable and got a lot of marketing hype.

I do love Red Vs. Blue though.

I'm not a fan of Half-Life 2 either though--again, there's no plot. "Okay, let's go here and blow this up. Now we're going here and getting this cool new weapon that shows off our physics programming abilities! Now we're going here to blow this up, but first we need to go through here and kill these zombies...and now we're going here to blow this up...and LOOK! THE G-MAN IS BACK, and as always, he's talking nonsense! Roll credits! WOW! Brilliant! I can't wait to find out what happens...or what just did happen...or really what the hell any of this is all about. Hmm. Hey, didn't this same thing happen with F.E.A.R.?"

I played Halo 2 a bit. It seemed alright, but not great.

That's what most games these days are like. Very little innovation.
