Microsoft's money-grabbing antics are starting to irk me and have prompted this rant. It's gotten to the point where I'm expected to pay through the teeth just to be able to play the game to its fullest extent.
GB: "We take a look at 15 amazing games that had the perfect length."
Pretty good list. Botany Manor would be the newest addition that encapsulates that title.

There are different games. Some have gamplay at it highest priority, some have the story, some have the replay value and choices... There are a lot of different game experiences.
It is laughable that just now graphics does not have anything to do with that experiene. We have had many games of that type over time. This is just the one that have come closest to feel like playing an actual movie. Just look the the Digital foundry walkthrough it is a masterpiece in that perspective and hence wrth trying. But yes do not do it for the gameplay - but that was never the goal of this experience.
They don't make games like this anymore.
Too dated in my book. The AI is way too unpredictable to be acceptable today. It's definitely a game of its time.
I had a good time with the game. It is a product of its time. But when it came out it was a must have game for a lot of people. I wish Ubisoft would make another game in the series or at least a reboot.
Due to the lack of modern stealth games, and me constantly playing the MGS series, I've been looking for alternative stealth games to play, and went back and re-played the SC series recently. I wouldn't call SC1 or SC:PT masterpieces, there are AI issues, they're very much trial-and-error games, and that can lead to a lot of frustration. I also found the stories in this series to be boring, uninteresting, and just sloppily told. Cinematics are also of poor quality for both in-game scenes and CG cut-scenes, the soundtrack didn't leave any impression on me either.
Chaos Theory is better, but there was still a lot of room for improvement, and Double Agent (old gen ver.) was a sloppy mess that ended up a regression from CT. But still, at least they tried back then, these days Ubi-junk doesn't even try to make good games!
i agree with you man
i mean personally im not a fan of the halo series at all its boring at least story wise anyways my friend convinced me to buy it and its real fun to play online
i just hate the fact that i have to buy some of the DLC just to play some of the better game modes online
not being able to play everything i get bored of it kinda fast since i end up playing the same bomb arming thing all the time
I don't play that often, but it really sucks when I want to play some Halo, only to find half the fun game types have become unavailable because I don't want to pay even more.
The story is non existent.
Online sucks hard
Reused sounds from other games.
etc etc etc
Only sheep would buy that game.
And on top of that you have to pay for live. It's like with Battlefield 1943 it has it's own servers (EA ones) yet your gold free goes to Microsoft.
6 out of 15 is pretty limited I must say but then again people buy it I won't I'll guess I'll have to suffer playing Resistance 2, Battlefield Bad Company and Burnout Paradise... what a shame.
Microsoft is the only company who does this , oh that's right,it's n4g that thinks that.
