Game Rant sits down with developers from Blackbird Interactive to talk about how Homeworld 3 looked to the franchise's main selling points.
Tripwire Interactive's Killing Floor debuted 15 years ago, birthing a critically acclaimed series and a new publishing arm.
I've said this before and I'll say it again - how can a game with so many flaws get such a good score?? Gamesrader were the first to do it (admit they gave it a really high score and then go on to complain about all the things wrong with it) and it's the same here, they said they gave it 9.7 but yet there are at least 10 problems?
Someone please explain this to me cause it makes no sense what so ever.
i thought the game was amazing, thats all that counts for me
because the rights are still owned by microsoft
halo 3 definitely doesnt deserve a 10 and alot of moronic gamers think all of the retardedBox 360 games are great considering there not like wow! what a bunch of "LOSERS!".
Why should Bungie of even tried?
Microsoft spent 10 million dollars buying review scores and a million hype stories all over the Net.
Bungie could have sat around for the last three years surfing porn at work and just included a 1080p goatse image and the game would have gotten 10/10 from the usual Xbot review sites like EGM and 1Up. And it would have sold millions - what the hell else are Xbots going to buy for their 360? You aren't really an Xbot if you don't buy the latest Halo no matter what a complete turd it is.
Top 10 thing Bungie screwed up? Name an area Bungie DIDN'T screw up or botch:
>AI
As articles and people who have played the game have stated many times, Halo 3's AI is laughably bad. Easily the worst fps AI outside of pc shareware titles
> Graphics
Bungie couldn't even get the game to run in HD/720p. Crappy 360 hardware once again like PGR3 and various Activision titles that the 360 couldn't run in HD/720p? Crappy Xbox developers tools? Whatever the reason Bungie crapped out a 640p sub HD jaggy unstable framerate mess of a game. And the final graphical insult is it looks just like last gen's Halo 2.
> Networking
No dedicated servers? Laggy P2P networking? Only 16 players? WTF??? With billions of dollars that Xbots love to brag about, Microsoft didn't even bother to find someone competent to upgrade the crappy last gen networking code in Halo 3.
> Gameplay
Outside of stealing Insomniac's Backlash Grenade, Halo 3 turned out to be the same tired old last gen Halo 2 fps gameplay that real pc fps fans laugh about.
Now that Bungie has dumped Microsoft after getting too sick and tired of dealing with the incompetent Microsoft gaming management, we will eventually see if it was Bungie's fault for Halo 3 turning out to be a turd of a game or was the crappy 360 hardware and dopey execs working in the Dreamcast* division.
*That should have been Xbox division. Close enough.
