Is GTA IV multiplayer still good on 360? I really feel like some cops and crooks tomorrow.

I quit Deus EX after like 4 hours. Maybe ill go back to it when there is nothing else to play.

It's well made and pretty open ended. Too stealth oriented for my tastes but the game design is tight.

heavy rain has potential but its boring the crap out of me so far.

if you are not into it after 2 or 3 hours, then it's not for you.

im still really early

Spoiler

at the part where ethan's wife breaks down at the police station after you lose shaun

so far the highlight has been the part where you investigate the crime scene as the FBI guy. hope theres more stuff like that

that will just add to the game's intensity. Pretend your main character is not only in deep shit, but has cancer and can die at any moment. Edited November 8, 2011 by -CM-

I finished Reach. The game irritates me badly because it's so good looking (colors and skyboxes) but the gameplay is so simplistic. No cover system, no dodge mechanice, can't hold on to my guns, can't upgrade my guns, only one special power at a time, can't hold on to special powers, enemies are sponges...none of those things would be an issue by themself but all of it together is blah.

The Halo games are pretty bad i enjoyed all of them even with their short comings. MP is garbage though CE was terible though

To be fair cover systems and dodge mechanics aren't present or don't even work in most FPS anyways. I've never once thought Halo needed a cover system since it is not a stop and pop type shooter. You can actually evade enemy fire. To each their own I guess, but for me, Halo has the best combat in an FPS, tied with FEAR.|

Overall though Reach was a bit of a let down. The developers didn't really try anything new and the campaign wasn't very exciting, save the beach/space ship level.

I just like having choices when I play a shooter. I really liked Deus Ex because it had the RE4 briefcase full of guns to choose from, and all the special powers to play around with.

Well Deus Ex is barely a shooter. Halo is the most sandboxy FPS game out there, along side Crysis 1. It has the best AI of any FPS and no one fight ever plays out the same way upon a retry. But yeah, it's still an FPS so you're not going to get much choice in how you tackle missions. Edited November 8, 2011 by -CM-

Halo MP is the worst. Floatfest for pre-pubescents. If that's the pinnacle of FPS in consoles. PC has nothing to fear.

You've most likely never played competitive Halo 1 and 2, Halo 2 being arguably the best online shooter last gen. Halo 3 and Reach are pretty garbage though, MP wise. Edited November 8, 2011 by -CM-

Finished BF3 campaign and playing around with MP now. I need to invest some heavy hours into it. I haven't been regularly playing online FPSes in like two years and I'm getting slaughtered Also started playing Anno 2070 beta while I wait for review copy. It's absolutely glorious.

indeed

I just looked at it like an interactive 6-8 hour movie, and it was a hell of a ride

I really couldn't get into it. Halo 2 mp never felt like you had accuracy with your shots, the game gave you such a big enough window for hit detection it really didn't matter how frantically you were swinging around your gun, shooting at everything.

Maybe it's a set of gameplay rules players need to adhere and adapt to, I couldn't. It's fun to watch, but playing feels alien to me.

[CGC Here Be Fragons 163]

never had accuracy in halo 2 Halo 2 was easily the most influential and greatest shooter of all time. I put in a lot of time into this game, over 1000 hours, became very good, and learned the 'little things.' And it was absolutely worth it.

[-GD-X★ 7,801]

halo 2's campaign was awful. i never cared for the multiplayer.
