Most UN-original game?

[TOFUM4ST3R]

you are an idiot. i have no grammatical mistakes in my part, while you obviously are incompetent. the backstory to halo just sets up the first game Yeah, because a whole WAR can be confined to a single short game. Just ask Call of Duty!, and when you have one guy obliterate an entire section of your army single-handedly, you fucking run as far away as possible, then the covenant just shows up at earth for the ring there, and get curbstomped by MC again. Halo's entire story sucks and was poorly set up. it made sense for one game, but honestly for a long term storyline, just fell apart immediately. if you say that Halo has a rich amount of backstory (fully pointless, games open alot with untold intros that would simply make you want to kill yourself if you had to learn about them Yeah, I know, like Mass Effect, and the history of the Earth. God damn these people for writing shit nobody cares about! We should burn thems books to enable us to be reedumaficated and what not. ), you need to apply a deerslug to your face.

That's a poor summary of the story, with no nuances or details that were explained IN THE GAMES (Not to mention bad SPELLING this time, your grammar has improved this time around. Besides your lack of attention to detail, you might actually want to READ the backstory before you pass judgement on it. A deerslug to the face, by the way, would be most appropriate for you, or perhaps long term exposure to lethal radiation.

Body armor has been in most every shooter (some dont, and ever since regenerative has become the popular choice, has been removed from those games).

Vehicles in shooters come from GTA 1, and you obviously are blind, because shooters have near identical gameplay styles always, doesnt matter if its first, second (over the shoulder), or third person, they are all the same.


GTA 1? Are you kidding me? GTA 1 was not even a shooter in the sense of Halo (Or any GTA game after 3)! It was an overhead shooter, and that was not even similar to 2nd or 1st person shooter. Wasn't your previous complaint, however, that Halo was ripping off vehicles from GTA? If all vehicles in shooters came from GTA 1, then why would you need to complain about such a common thing at that point?

Halo's storyline blows compared to the almost nonexistent backstory of Unreal Tournament 2004 Editors Choice edition, the greatest single multiplayer FPS ever made. Halo is like trying to put a rotten storyline on the original Doom, it doesnt fucking work.

Team Fortress 2 would like to have a word with you, as well as Unreal Tournament 3 and Quake 3 Arena. Oh yeah, UT 2004's story was crap, and worse than anything produced by Halo.

and for your information, I have played every single GTA game excluding The Lost and Damned, Halo 1 and 3 Not 2? Because surely one with such great and reasonable knowledge that the Halo series' story sucks must have played all of them., Halflife 1, blue shift, Opposing Force, 2, Portal, UT 1, 2003, 2004 EC, and 3, GoW, GoW2, Gears2 (i have read aspho fields also, it was a crappy book that was on the level of Twilight for cheesiness. Quite honestly, if you want a crappy and unoriginal story, you can look no further than the Gears of War series. "Oh no, aliens are invading from BELOW THE GROUND! Oh my god I miss my wife blah blah blah! Oh no she's all beat up! Guess I should kill her!"), Resident Evil 4, 007 from russia with love, Max Payne 1+2, CoD5 (with much regret), Quake 3 arena, Doom 2, True Crime: Streets of LA, Red Faction, and other FPS games that i cant name, so dont tell me what i know and dont know, i have sampled the ultimate variety of shooters (i would go into a much larger list, but im too lazy to list non shooters in this after the God of War games) Too lazy to check your spelling as well, it seems.

Sampling the "ultimate variety" of shooters? I thought "variety" and "shooters" couldn't be in the same sentence, since they "have near identical gameplay styles always!" By the way, your grade school spelling and sentence construction teachers called, they need to call you back. You might want to watch who you are calling incompetent, because I sure as hell have better spelling than you, with only a few errors that I have ever been aware of (and immediately fixed upon said notification.)

 

[iggyus]

Yeah Mass Effect does use a lot of well known cliches but its a great game. The new Call of Duty however... They somehow managed to get through WW2 with Modern Warfare then some smartass decided that WW2 is cool afterall. That killed the series for me

 

[magicaxis]

Any MMORPG made after WoW. they are all bloody identical with different wallpaper. (roughly quoted from yahtzee)

 

[bad rider]

Most of the battlefield games, I mean they are awesome but each one does the same here is some vehicles and guns go kill each other. That isn't a bad thing, it's just not original, but it does it a "well here's some guns, vehicles and a big multiplaer what more do you need" kind of way. Honestly could you want anymore?

 

[lacktheknack]

By the time a game is made and heralded as "good", then they shake it down for seven or eight sequels and remakes, it's officially unoriginal.

That said, "Tomb Raider Anniversary". It was fun, but not original.

i read the storyline of halo 2, and heard enough about the weapons to know that game blew. aspho fields has a wierd set up, but isnt written badly, nor is it a definitive waste of time like twilight. aspho fields works as a prequel for gears of war. there are no aliens in Gears of war, its humans vs ants vs evil ants. the reason why Gears of War is a good game is its not something done before. not aliens, not zombies, not demons, not angels, but the creatures you never would expect to come to kill you. these nightmarish creatures, living under your house your entire life, come to end it and the life of every human being. (that is excluding brumaks, which are based off of king kong)

i said shooters, not FPSs only (FPS is the one that lacks variety idiot), and if you have seen as many as i have, you can see that they can all be done differently. yes, i have played UT3, which is absolute shit compared to UT04 (i doubt the titan pack could even help UT3 out of the shit coffin). there was only a minimal outline of a story in UT04 which worked for it, and what storyline there was was simply to explain what is going on. storylines in unreal tournament inhibit the game, not enhance it.
team fortress is the kind of game for people who like Counterstrike (i respect it, but dont find it fun) and in TF2 the engineer is still broken. Quake 3 arena doesnt have the variety of UT04 simply because it is too old, its a fun time waster, but not as good at UT04x.
the fact that you said you brought up UT3 leads me to believe you do judge games by graphics. last i checked, the graphics box doesnt count to gameplay, replayability, or anything that makes a game worth buying other then idiocy. i have played every notable shooter with something new, original, or of true quality.

i note that you also use Halo as a massive benchmark. guess what? halo was absolute shit, had a storyline that makes twilight look good, and had no original ideas. Duke Nukem 3d, despite not even letting you know what the storyline is, still is a better game.

the reason GTAs1&2 are top-down is because vehicles are not easy to program. ignoring those 2, a near total of shooters are first person, and i do admit i made an error i didnt notice, the comment there says shooters are near identical. first person only really is saved by red faction. second and third have more variety then first person (third is the best for bullit time)

Halo 1 left me feeling satisfied with the total story. aliens always hate human beings, thus the intro makes sence, the end leaves the question of why guilty spark survived, which they still fucking havent answered, and im not taking "so he could be a boss in the third game" as a legitimate answer. the number of questions left unanswered from halo1 does not form enough of a foundation for a second game, so clearly they did not plan for a Halo2.

you need to get that OCD checked because no one gives a crap in forums about capitalization and punctuation.

 

[Usagi_dono]

Hm, I wonder if games would be a bit more fun to play if we didnt go all out ripping them to pieces cause its "unoriginal"

 

[Pimppeter2]

Super Mario...The remake

 

[Hungry]

you can count the truely original games for this generation on one hand

 

[TOFUM4ST3R]

i read the storyline of halo 2, and heard enough about the weapons to know that game blew. aspho fields has a wierd set up, but isnt written badly,I'm sure that in your little world it was. nor is it a definitive waste of time like twilight. Actually, yes it is.aspho fields works as a prequel for gears of war. there are no aliens in Gears of war, its humans vs ants vs evil ants. So Gears is even more retarded than what I thought it was... It actually rips off "Them!" for crying out loud!

the fact that you said you brought up UT3 leads me to believe you do judge games by graphics. I don't, I think Deus Ex was the best game ever, but it sure as hell ain't going to win any prettiness awards.last i checked, the graphics box doesnt count to gameplay, replayability, or anything that makes a game worth buying other then idiocy. i have played every notable shooter with something new, original, or of true quality.Well that's good for you.

i note that you also use Halo as a massive benchmark. guess what? halo was absolute shit, had a storyline that makes twilight look good, and had no original ideas. Duke Nukem 3d, despite not even letting you know what the storyline is, still is a better game.
I use it as a massive benchmark because you use it as a massive benchmark to indicate that it sucks. You, judging from your previous posts, just appear to hate Halo so much that your perspective of it is warped to make it seem worse than Twilight. Guess what? It is not. There are much better games, as you should no doubt be aware, but it is not "absolute shit."

you need to get that OCD checked because no one gives a crap in forums about capitalization and punctuation.
It's the "I don't give a crap about spelling and grammar" attitude that is killing the intelligence of society. (And makes you look like a Halotard. Do you want to be associated with those filthy unwashed scum?)

i dont give a crap on forums where only 50-60 people are going to see it. Halo is of pretty low quality. Gears was not ripped off from halo, its the only game where the enemies were always there, they just were never known to be there because they lived too far below the surface. that storyline foundation as far as i know, has never been done. its awlays some bio-engineered super-plague if its from earth, an alien army, or some other threat


Halo's story is terrible, with the only thing keeping you from vomiting are the graphics. you say aspho fields is shit? i had a harder time reading the script for Halo 2+3 because they are so fucking poorly writen.

 

[TheFacelessOne]

Any sequel is unoriginal. /thread

 

[Kinguendo]

Turning Point... if you have played it then you know.

Actually, they were biologically engineered soldiers. Remember the sires? And Mount Kadar did not appear to be especially deep to conceal the Locust.

Funny, I could say the same for the script of the entire Gears of War series.

[Redemption003]

Modern warfare shooters. Heck even the makers of CoD realised that and went back to the WW2 setting, yet another setting that has been used countless times in a stream of unoriginal games.

final fantasy. i still love them all though.

MS Paint totally ripped off drawing and painting with your hands. Most unoriginal bogus ripoff ever.

It's changed, btw.

 

[51gunner]

Most sports games, simply because it's impossible to get original with something like baseball or soccer. The rules are established already, the teams are all established, all you can do is code to match. Not that this makes sports games bad, some people really like them. (Not me though.)

The only original sports game I've ever heard of is Blood Bowl, which is basically Football meets Warhammer Fantasy. Goblins picking up footballs, and then trolls picking up the goblin and throwing it to the end zone? F'ck yeah.
