The only bad thing about open-ended gameplay is that the design doesn't fit all genres and there's not much space to evolve from there, except fitting in a few extra details here and there... So then all GTA knock-offs are just that -- Knock-offs...Originally Posted by Cyberxion
GTA opened developers eyes to open-ended gameplay. Perhaps they weren't the first to bring it to the table, but when they brought it, they brought it with style, and of course it's style was aped. If it's sucessful, then of course it's gonna be copied.
Oh, uh... What the hell is my point...? Dunno... I can't think of one...
I prefer Shenmue's F.R.E.E.E. style... Much better than GTA's...
Oh yeah, my comments were more geared towards those people who DO consider HALO the stuff of legends... So... Appology issued!!Fair enough, I think we both misunderstood each other a bit. I thought you were saying that HALO was shit, which I disagree with, and you seem to think that I'm saying HALO is 'legendary' (etc), which I'm not. I agree that HALO was way over-rated and over-hyped, but it was still a quite good game once you got past the mythical status it has aqquired.
You seem to not like FPS in general, which I can accept (even though I love them so ), and I suppose that would drag your opinion of it down even further by default.
Ah well, I guess thats all sorted then.
But I just wanna say I do like FPS games... Though some get tiresome pretty quickly...
