Play like something else? Not exactly...but offer something new and different. Shooters should advance over time, as most shooters actually have. If one game has something groundbreaking then you should do one better. It changes things and keeps them fresh, which this game unfortunately is not.-84 wrote:I never get the internet of a franchise gameplay being unoriginal. I don't go into a franchise thinking every game should play differently. Halo plays like Halo. Gears plays like Gears. Cod Plays like COD.
Do people on the internet really want Halo to play like GEARS?
I will say that I played a bit more of it but still left unimpressed. I did finally see some decent looking graphics on the level with the missile being launched. Maybe it's the lighting in the game? Who knows.
What just irritates me to no end is the sound effects. It doesn't matter what gun I try in the game. None of them sound realistic or have any sort of impact. Heck, even the heavier guns like the M60 or RPK all sound like BB guns. From a hardcore FPS gamer's perspective the game lacks a lot of polish even though it has high profile voice actors (Sam Worthington, Ed Harris, Gary Oldman) and a crap load of advertising.
I just found out that the game broke Modern Warfare 2's launch record. That's what marketing can do for you. You can make an average product and sell a lot of it with proper advertising.
