bungie.net is very minxy

I am on the fence about buying this game it looks good and fun and i enjoyed the first game from the small amount I played it (at a friends house) but I know next to nothing about the game all I know is that its open world (I love open world games) and there are Komodo dragons. (my second fav animal cookie if you can guess my favorite)

Can someone (preferebly someone who has the game) tell me the pros and cons of the game, what the story is about and what makes this game diffrent from other FPS games so i know if I want to shell out 60$ for it or if I should give it a pass.

It's got a lot to do if you like games that require you to sit for long periods of time.

Well, I am going to make an MP map where everyone spawns on a large island that is heavily forested. Everyone gets a melee weapon, and you must get to the other side of the island. Between you and the other side is about 30 bears and a canal full of sharks. There is also one shotgun on the map.

The antagonist, Vaas, is easily one of the better villains in recent memory. He's just so damn insane it's remarkable. The game takes a lot of elements from other popular games where they don't quite work as well, and makes them work wonderfully together. It's seriously a sleeper hit, I think. It's absolutely stunning. Definitely one of the best games this year.

Unreal, isn't it?

Save your money for something actually worth buying instead of video games.

Get something that will better you as a person. Get involved in a martial art or other skill. Pick up a musical instrument or learn to sing. Or just save the money until you have something you really want, not something you're on the fence about.

Edit
Or buy some Pink Floyd albums

For those who wish to contact me on Xbox LIVE, my main account is "The 7th Taco", and the one linked with my profile here is only a backup.

Did I ever tell you the definition of insanity?

Vaas is one of the best antagonists ever.

What house has a rocket pod, has legs, and has a long narrow barrel that probably shoots something powerful?

Sounds like you're describing the lower half of my body, actually.

The game has a good story to it.

You can attack a post anyway, and any side you want to.

You can construct flaming arrows or exploding arrows(I think)

There is wildlife

The game is open world

The characters are interesting

It has one of the best map editors

Do you need anymore reasons to buy it?

The human element always mucks things up.

What do you think, OP?
Does that include the negitive things about skyrim like every single dungion having the exact same enemies? and is it an RPG?

  • 12.01.2012 9:36 PM PDT

It looks great. Unfortunately I can't buy it because I need the money for my PC rig that is $850. By the way, is the game linear like halo or cod?

Per Audacia Ad Astra

No malaria, no weapon degradation, wildlife, no respawning guard outposts, interesting antagonist, good weapons, huge map, lovely graphics, amazing map editor.

  • 12.01.2012 9:54 PM PDT

Don't buy it. It's expensive, it will waste your time, and it doesnt matter whether you play it or not.

Tigers, Ox, croc, sharks, stingray, and I think there was some others. Often enough to make the game feel alive.

Also, they attack you unless you have animal repellent. Kind of like pokemon repellent when you don't want things bothering you when you are travelling.
