Halo2 vs Doom3

[5614]

yes probably, to be honest, what game is better is personal opinion anyway, this is a mainly totaly pointless thread which will get nowhere, but what the heck, it nice to know what others think!

 

HALO RULES

[Sayonara]

How can your opinion of a game that has not yet been released - in production or in beta - be personal in any way whatsoever?

 

Surely it can only be based on experience and reputation of past titles, which is not the best way to evaluate what is essentially a different game.

[5614]

yeah yeah, but what i meant was that whether a game is good or not, is a personal view, so whilsts people like real time strategy games, i dont, whilsts people like doom3 based on play, and not halo2 based on reviews and the previous halo, i do like halo2,

 

this is how and why i came to the conclusion that whether a game is good or not, its stll personal view, whilsts we can read the same review, the idea of shooting aliens in the day might appeal to some, whilsts walking round in pitch black rooms may appeal to others.

Finished Doom 3. The Devil was a bit of a winp...

I hope Halo 2 sucks donkey balls, just to make you look a little silly.

[Fellowes]

Walking around in ptich black rooms adds a bit excitement to the gameplay and environment. Plus you have a flashlight...

[Sayonara]

Sometimes I like to turn my monitor off and pretend I'm playing the best game ever.

[Encrypted]

Lol...

 

But Sayanora, they did show a playable demo of Halo 2 in E3.

 

So.. people do have an idea of how the game is.

If I got the money back for dull games I have bought based on the strength of the demo, I'd be able to buy a new system.

[Severian]

I didn't find Doom 3 to be as dark as people seem to be claiming. There are a few dark corners, true enough, but you can always see to navigate and don't really need to use the torch that much.

 

My criticism of the game would be that it was very linear and rather unimaginative.

[5614]

maybe your screen is on extra bright mode or something, that normally help vision in dark games.

[Sayonara]

Contrast helps, brightness doesn't.

[5614]

soz, my mistake, i would change it, but that would make your post #62 look really stupid, so i'll leave them all, so people reading this dont think that one of us are really dumb [dont reply to that last part!]

[LuTze]

Turn the gamma right up in game. Things will look more washed-out but you'll be able to see more.

[5614]

yes that should work, i havent got the game infront of me, but there may be other graphics options to make it lighter, there often are in games, gamma, contrast and even brightness can make a slight difference in dark conditions [thats dark in the game, not in a dark room]

[5614]

do you find that the actual game is fun? what do you think of it?

 

sure, nice graphics and sound FX, terrible storyline, but is the gameplay any good? is it fun? what kinda weapons you get as you advance through the game?

[Fellowes]

Doom3 IS fun. Turning up the birghtness and contrast and shit doesn't really make the game that good though. Darkness is a lot of the effect the game's environment has on your gameplay. You get all the same guns as the original Doom games just updated versions and you get grenades and stuff like that. Buy it, download it, just play it and you'll see. I also agree with Sayo on how yu can judge a game that isn't out yet.....

[5614]

if you like about doom3 is the darkness why dont you buy halo2 and turn DOWN all the contrast, brightness and stuff like that. then you have a dark game WITH a story line!

[c dawg]

you could do that with any game. the darkness with doom 3 is part of the setting. it wouldn't be the same. it's not only the darkness in doom 3 its the environment, it makes it scary, the darkness is just the icing on the cake.

[c dawg]

you shouldn't be taking a side on what you think is better yet until you have actually played the game. if the game was out and you were saying halo 2 is better that would be ok. but now your just going on the previous game and saying that its going to be better.

[Dave]

Can't believe you guys have been going on about this for almost an entire page now Surely it's just a matter of opinion?

[5614]

hey dave, your quick! no offense, sayo pointed this all out, i think on page 2 or 3, he said it was a pointless debate, i agreed, it is purely personal opinion. its a dead pointless argument...

 

and then i end:

 

HALO2 RULES

 

[and the arguments start up again!]

[Sayonara]

The Baftas say otherwise:

 

Half Life 2:

 

- Best Game

- Best Online Game

- Best Action Adventure

- Best PC Game

- Best Art Direction

- Best Animation

 

Halo 2:

 

- Best X-Box Game (lol)

[Hellbender]

Let's see.....

 

1)Halo 2 has better graphics

2)Halo 2 has better gameplay

3)Halo 2 has better storylines

4)In short: HALO 2 RULES!!!

Having played Halo2 more than once, I have to cautiously agree. I have never played Doom3, even though I am a fan of that series as well, I heard it takes I high-end computer to play, and I frankly don't have the money to blow on getting a new, faster Alienware computer with video cards and crap like that. Halo2's graphics are good, you can ever pick out the indiviual hairs on brute's faces when sniping them. Playing as the Arbiter was a nice surprise as well. I love that guy. It has a great storyline, realistic, convincing gameplay and great new weapons/vehicles. I give tentatively say it is superior to Doom3 it. If the occurance that i win the lotto and can afford a computer that costs as much as a car good enough to run new computer games, we might see.
