Sometimes its the story that sells not the hype.

After playing Halo 3 I came to the conclusion that story does sell. Now it took me 10 hours on legendary(its the highest difficulty setting) to finish this game and I must say that there is nothing special and new about this game. Even with the power of the next gen console its still not that great in terms of WoW factor(not related to World of Warcraft).

Why did I buy it, shelling out 70 bucks for it and it only took 10 hours... why you say did I not just rent it and go from there. Lemmie tell you. I support the story. I want games to immerse me in the world. I want to finish that for which I started years ago with Halo 1. I wanted to know what happened to Master Chief. I wanted to know who won the war. I wanted to know....

The same could be said for books or movies or any other form of entertainment that leaves you questioning what happens after you tune out.

I was not into the story of Halo 3 until the very end. It was fun but not really that great. But it did bring to an end a story I have followed for years now.

So that is why, simply put, I enjoyed playing Halo 3.

p.s. I also finished Medal of Honor: Airborne this weekend and I must say I am still unimpressed by the complete lack of thought in some of these "games". It was fun but Way tooo repetitive. Even if you could drop anywhere in the zone, you still killed an endless supply of Germans(which if I was Germany I would be making a public statement saying "Look I realise we fucked up and we are soo sorry for that but could you stop rubbing it in our faces with these crappy games. At least make us into a good game with the REAL feeling of the war.").
