Metroid Prime 3 vs Halo 3

NateTheGreat · 07-31-2006, 03:14 PM

Bungi also had worked on Marathon which was apparently a really popular Mac game, so I think they also drew from that franchise aswell.

Halo hasn't done anything that innovative, but instead takes elements from many great shooters and tweaks them. In the end, it all comes together like a massive puzzle. Great story, great gameplay, great graphics, great cinematics, and great multiplayer to keep you coming back again and again.

However, I also can't wait to play Metroid Prime 3, which will be my first 3D Metroid game and sadly the last Metroid game there'll be, but it sure looks great and original in every way, so that makes up for everything.

Exactly, that's wut everyone wants these days.

Both their both very different games and I like them both

I like Halo because its got a very good control system the first two were good games the second was dissapointing but the first is one of the best FPS ever

Metroid Prime is also good becuase its innovative and has good bosses and weapons

Both games weapons, characters, controls and stories are top class

Seriously, they sure didn't change it enough. As much as I love the series, that's one thing MP did and Halo didn't. But if u just look at the game Halo's stuff just looks cooler, the suits, the guns for sure and so on.

But the one advantage that MP has is the T rating, in reality it pretty much let's anyone over the age of 10+ play, while Halo is M and that forces some buyers, like me, to not be able to get it cuz of the ESRB rating and the mom's who see anything with the word M in it besides there own name(MoM) go crazy and say "Sex, Drugs, Gore, mind corruption!" If Halo was T it would have such a huge fanbase it would probably be unbelievable.

I agree that Halo 2 was a bit of a let down after playing the masterpiece that was the original Halo. It's funny, when I finished Halo 2 I actually called a few game stores and asked if I had missed something, or maybe there was some hallway I didn't go down that would have giving me a few more hours of play. The guy at Slackers said "Yeah, you finished it and doesn't that suck? It's about 7 hours shorter than the original and we've gotten a few copies back already."

I do think that Halo 3 will be longer than Halo 2 and maybe even the first Halo. I personally can't imagine what we'll be doing in Halo 3 and what new weapons and vehicles will emerge (*cough*Pelican dropship*cough*)

Lol, I agree. And by looking at the screenshots/trailers it's going to be HOT!

O ya and that Pelican dropship looks HOT! too.

Agreed....but I don't have any content in my mind, so I guess this is another short post without info and in a thread I created!

ssbb_lover · 07-31-2006, 11:39 PM

....DANGIT!!!!

*eghemm*Well Halo's great, MP's great, ppl have there opinion's, mine is Halo. Nate, I guess ur's is Halo(or both)? Most ppl like Halo more, because the original was a great game and no one could hate it. Plus, if I remember right, there wasn't too much blood or anything, so it was fit for even those who were 16 or younger to play it. I guess I shouldn't be talking in past tense since tons r still playing it

NateTheGreat · 07-31-2006, 11:58 PM

Yeah, that's another reason I like both Metroid and Halo (although I've never played a 3D Metroid, so I may change my mind, but I doubt it with the new controller): The lack of blood and gore.

It's a bit strange that Halo is rated M because there is hardly any blood and no real gore (no decapitations or anything). Just a lot of purple-ish-blue alien blood and the Elites do make a loud groan when they die.

The Grunts are like little annoying kids, so maybe that's what gets the ESRB people angry.

LOOK AWAY KIDS! THIS GUY'S BAD NEWS!

ssbb_lover · 08-01-2006, 12:02 AM

Ya it's too bad Halo isn't rated T, and I thin it should, although i still wouldn't get it since I don't have an Xbox

Mooooowwrraggghrrrrgggggg*hiss**hiss*.....BOOOM!!( blows alien guts all over master-chief)
That would annoy me too

NateTheGreat · 08-01-2006, 12:14 AM

You don't have an Xbox!!! Seriously, just get the original Xbox, until Halo 3 comes out of course. They're probably like $80 now, but I probably shouldn't speak because I don't have a Gamecube and they're pretty cheap now too.

Off-topic I am, once again, but I don't really care because my threads usually die quicker than this.

Darn, I think I just jinxed myself. This was a nice thread while it lasted.

Keep...it...alive...if you can.

ssbb_lover · 08-01-2006, 12:26 AM

His last wish........*thread croaks*O well, it got another post in

Plus I do wish I had an Xbox and I wish u had a GC. The reason I won't be getting an Xbox is because I just bought a DS which kind of drained my funds -_- ' So now it's my turn...y haven't u gotten a GC?!

Well, I got one a few months after it came out and loved SSX: Tricky and SSBM, but that was it.

I really can't remember if I had any other games than those two and when I went over to my cousin's house, she had an Xbox and SSX: Tricky and it looked sooo much better on Xbox. She also had Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee and all the games that I was looking forward to on the GC were coming out on the Xbox, so I sold my GC after a year and have had only an Xbox up until recently. A different cousin gave me her old PS2 (she also gave me a SNES, which started me on videogames) a few weeks ago (I never would have bought one myself because I planned on getting a PS3 when it's price would finally drop to like $300) and I've rented Jak 3 which seems a bit over rated and Katamari Damacy which I haven't played but will when I have more time.

The good GC games really didn't show up until about a year or so after I had sold my GC; games like Mario Kart: DD, Res4, the Metroid games, and Geist.

So, I cried a bit and then Nintendo announced Wii would be backwards compatible, which is awesome becuase it's the first time they've ever done that. Now I can load up on all the GC games I missed and probably get them all for $100 used. Really can't wait for Wii and it's games, but I wan't to play GC games on it before hand so I'll understand the stories and stuff...and I'm cheap.

Oh, and I hate that you have a DS lite!! I actually bought and returned the DS when it first came out because it was so bulky and uncomfortable and didn't have any games, I soon realized. I bought a PSP and after a few months, I sold it at Slackers because it was just like what the PS3 will be: good on graphics, bad on games and innovation. However, I'm more of a non-portable player because I want to hear things on my 5.1 surround sound and on a 27" TV. A DS lite will probably be in my hands sometime after X-mas (I always wait until after X-mas to get my presents because then prices drop and income tax comes in).

So that's basicly....my life story.

I'm going to go punch myself in the face for a while because I'm getting sooo of topic in my own thread.......but that's OK.

LIVE THREAD! LIVE! *laughs, melovolently*

TMRevolution · 08-01-2006, 03:25 AM

I've got both halos and both primes. And so far...I don't really care about either storyline.

But since I had dial up internet when Halo2 came out I never got to experience the online play. And I guess only playing the one player mode gave me a bad outlook on the Halo series and now I kind of dislike it. And I am a Nintendo Fanboy, and I indeed do like Metroid more than Halo.

So I am going to buy Corruption.

EDIT: Plus I have no 360 ;P
