Halo 3...It's going to be big...NO!!! It's going to BE HUGE...Wellll at least that's what I heard on the news today.
Thing is? It bloody well is going to be huge, because it looks like after all this time, Bungie has made a damn fine single player game and probably the best multi-player gamer to date (so everybody says who has played it)
Here's the problem though...I got to play the Halo 3 Beta and I've got to be honest, it did not blow me away. In fact, I was bored playing it after a few days and while many/most played it non stop for the 3 weeks they had it, I just did not really care...Crackdown, the game that the beta came with was 10000 times more fun I found.
I did not play Halo 2 but I loved Halo: CE when the first Xbox came out. I had read that Halo 2 was not up to much so I gave it a miss...Now here we have Halo 3 something like 3 years later and I did not really get into the multi player beta and I have not played halo 2, so I've lost half the story...BUT I'M GETTING IT...WHY??????
Well, It seems that you don't really need to have played Halo 2 to get the most out of Halo 3, In fact, Halo 3 is more of a direct follow up to Halo: CE (I can read any story info I'm missing online anyway)...Halo 3 is the final chapter, so at last the story ends and it's not a crap ending like Halo 2 had (so I read)...Since I loved...no LOVED!!! Halo: CE I really want to play out the rest of the story and the single player game is supposed to be damn fine.
Now you also have the multi-player aspect of the game that I've played and did not really get into...Well it seems the things I did not like about the beta (not being about to custom your avatar for 1) are now sorted..YEA!!!After reading many, many reviews of Halo 3 I now want to give the multi player another chance, It really looks like a whole load of fun and there's zillions to do.
So I'm going ask santa for Halo 3 and Mass Effect because Christmas is just the perfect time to play these 2 games for me (free time...oh yea baby!)...Sure I could go out tomorrow and get Halo 3, but I won't (willpower now...willpower)..No, I'll wait until. Christmas...Really!!!;) Oh yea...I'll also need a new GOLD Account to go with it:P
