TomChick doesn't like Halo 3.

What bothers me most is that Bungie still can't tell a story worth a damn. Because it's an established franchise with enormous hype, this is going to be a huge game. Like Metroids and Zeldas, it'll get unswervingly positive reviews from people who wouldn't know narrative from nonsense, people who make sweeping misguided assumptions about the average guy jumping online and having a grand ol' time getting teabagged and called a faggot. And for those average guys and the occasional average girls, whether they play online or not, this single player story will be the face of gaming: as retarded, confusing, and juvenile as ever.

Ouch.

Gonzo game reviews. Now I've seen everything.

Halo isn't about exploration? I suppose not, in the sense that Civilization is, but I think the guys at High Impact Halo may disagree.

Bungie can't tell a story? Um, in my past experience I've very much enjoyed the Marathon and Halo stories. (though I haven't seen anything of Halo 3's story...)

It takes all kinds, I guess, but I still haven't figured out what kind of game this guy wanted. (And what relation said game would have had, if any, to the earlier titles.)

-- Steve is also wondering who this Chick guy is...not the religious comic book guy, surely...

In reply to: I thought that Hunter Thompson was dead.

All it took was one pistol shot in the back...

I guess it's hard for you to pat your head and rub your tummy too huh?.. If the storyline is that retarded, why would a person who worked on a storyline as elaborate and plot driven as Lord of the Rings even be interested in this one (storyline). I could see if it was some rinkey-dink director but Peter Jacskon with that trilogy won (I forget) how many Oscars? So for you to say this game is juvinile and confusing kinda shows that you probably might need to work on your hand eye coordination buddy!!
