MalaXmaS 705 Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 (edited) Being a PS fanboy back in the PS3 era, I managed to neglect these series. It's not as story heavy as your typical Kojima game, but it still maintains a cohesive timeline. Now I realize why MS pushes Marcus Fenix as a staple character as Master Chief for the Xbox franchise. Like I said, it's not as story heavy as Snake or let alone Gordon Freeman, but it is something respectable. Edited August 10, 2021 by MalaXmaS Link to post Share on other sites

I had a 360 back then but never beat the first one till I got my Xbox One and GeOW1 remastered. Now I am going through GeOW2/ and I can some innovation in gameplay, like going through that worm's internals. And now finding a new kind of enemy, the Sires.

Wait until you get to 5 (especially the expansion). Lots of fun and some great visuals. It’s pretty atmospheric, in parts, too. Link to post Share on other sites
Remij 5,047 Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Both Marcus and the Master Chief are both iconic as fuck characters. MS has a lot of iconic characters.. but they just never utilized them well during the XO gen. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Master Chief is such a rich character that should have been used for the sequel as such as a side meaningful character. Could you imagine Halo 2 having such an open meaning character and plot that people are thinking whether MC is male or female, or white, hispanic, asian? MS drop the ball. Marcus Fenix, we can see his face though and they have some worthwhile characters like Dom, Cole and Bird. Link to post Share on other sites
TLHBO 2,299 Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 The first was only good because it had little competition at the time. The second overstayed its welcome a bit and by the third was released the franchise and gameplay felt stale. Like all microsoft franchises its a flavour of the month product. Theres no timeless feeling to these games. Link to post Share on other sites

If you haven't, you just play the orignal Killzone remaster and you'll know what I mean. Hakka is just fucking golden. Link to post Share on other sites

Not up there with the original crew, but with Marcus there, it's a good group. Well... it was Link to post Share on other sites
Twinblade★ 4,212 Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 I thought 4 was merely decent and little expectations for 5, but I ended up being really impressed by it. Also, Tactics has loads of potential as a TBS spin off. I really hope it wasn't a one off and they make another with better execution. Link to post Share on other sites

They still need to change it up a bit, moment to moment gameplay-wise IMO. And yes, Tactics is great. I think they executed really well with that game. There's some issues, but there's also a great foundation to build upon. Link to post Share on other sites
