The GTA series actually has a good story.GTA3 was an amazing game because of its originality and thats why it sold well.It had an amazing and original feel to it.And why did you bring upi Tomb Raider thats a terrible series.
What, no it didn't. It was a play off of every crime drama and mafia movie ever made. All they did was take cheif outta armor make him two feet shorter and the slowest runner with a shotgun ever and gave him free roam and "Fido" didn't have to much of a personality either, and we still don't know his story. I don't recall "GTA: The Fall of Fido" coming out to explain his life story...The GTA series relies on free-roam and open-endedness for kicks (and it works, I like going wherever). It doesn't even begin to scrape the story of games like Halo, Half Life, God of War, Prince of Persia, etc. etc.
I'll agree Halo is hyped, but you can't use the fact it is so popular as a means to downplay the grade of the game, not if you want to be taken seriously. It's like your trying to be a nonconformist, and like most nonconformist you have no concrete assertions in the least (for lack of any proof) that what you don't think is not good, is in fact, not good.
This isn't a flame though, I agree that certain aspects of the game are not as good as seen in others, but alternatively there are things way better than presented in other games.
If your complaining about no orginality...There is no such thing. We have 2,000+ years of history. Trust me it has all been done before, everyting is meerly a copy, of a copy, of a copy. The only thing that can be revolutionized upon is the way these same things are presented and which things are implimented and removed, and I personally think Halo did exemplary work. Deepper story than a lot of other games (and other media for that matter). I prefer story over most other aspects of games, and I can't say that GTA: III captured that in the least. How generic was it's plot "Become the top of the crim world."
GTA: VC "Become the top of Florida wannabes crime world in a cheap rip off of Scarface!"
GTA: SA "Become the top playa of California. Now with Minorities!"
Although, maybe such things are more appealing to you, because of its such "in depth" story and invigorating mission types "Drive, to dock, get plane, drop fliers" or "Get car, drive to building, kill guy". Yeah, I digress, GTA way kicks that ass of Halo...[/sarcasm]
