It is so funny because i think most people are saying halo 4 in an attempt to be funny. I am sure there were games that merit the worst game of the year.


If you only played halo 4 then you can't say it.
Yeah. Resident Evil 6 was -blam!- terrible.

I thought Halo 4's story was pretty poorly told, but it's nowhere near the -blam!-fest that is Ninja Gaiden 3's story.

I played the game and I don't even know what happened. At one point Ryu wanted to stop the evil red hooded guy because he and his homies were making dinosaurs to sell as pets. By the end of the game he becomes your friend, but then not really because I don't know, but then you kill him because he wanted you to so you can stop his daughter who was turned into a goddess by his brother because he's crazy so he could create a new world.

This is also the same game that features Ryu's Dragon Sword melting into his arm and cursing him for killing things that tried to destroy the world. It's stupid.

Halo 4


I was wondering when the bandwagon hate train would show up.

Look, I know you're just a guy with a tiny dong and an even smaller brain, but to say it was not a good story is laughably misguided.


I was wondering when the fanboys would show up.

Look, I know you're just a guy with a tiny dong and an even smaller brain, but to say that anyone with a different opinion then you is misguided is just stupid.

Haha, saying Mass Effect 3's story is the WORST of 2012 is incredibly ridiculous. It's better than 99% of games out there.

No need to condescend to me


That is rich coming from you, the bulk of your posts have been throwing insults at everyone.
Among your first responses was a remark about my brain and dick.

You are in no position to hold yourself over anyone


You're right!

If you're passionate about the thing you're talking about, I'll always lend an ear.

Ninja Gaiden 3 by far.

This and Halo 4 suffered from the same issues in it's protagonist portrayals that ended on destroying the core story with the intentions of 'humanizing' super-humans.

If that really bothers you then perhaps you should lead by example. You praise Halo 4, but you don't post any reasoning backing it up. You say Del Rio is a deep and well designed character, but then you don't post any reasoning backing it up. It's a two way street guy, if you want reasoning, provide some yourself.


When did I say I praised it? When did I say he is a deep and well designed character?
The only thing I was posting to say was that Halo, while not amazing or a wonderful story, certainly doesn't deserve the title of "Worst game of the year" or "completely bad story", as claimed by others.

You are assuming I meant things that I never actually said.


why doesnt it deserve the title of worst story 2012?

And RE6 and Borderlands 2 don't?

Far Cry 3 didn't live up to it's potential but Resident Evil 6 was easily the worst.

Can't speak for NG3, but Halo 4's story developed the Chief into a human. It didn't suddenly makle him one.

I remain baffled that anyone could consider character development a bad thing, especially when said development remains true to the original person.

  • 01.04.2013 4:43 PM PDT

I would say RE6 but it is clear that no one here has tortured themselves with the game... Mindjack. -shudders-

Oh, of 2012? Then RE6. Absolute garbage.

He threw down a glove you made the mistake
Of picking it up now you're gone
The choosing of guns or fighting with swords
The choice of weapons is done
He'll tear you apart as soon as you start
You know you don't have a chance.

Resident Evil 6.

I know! Usually it would be a good thing. I liked his new development from a mute to a more rounded character. Made the story more interesting. I guess the people who play Halo don't really enjoy stories to games as much as some others and would rather have a silent static character that looks cool to shoot bad guys than a proper one. I am personally sick of mute characters.

  • 01.04.2013 4:46 PM PDT

There is a difference between personally disliking a game with a good story and personally disliking a game with a bad story. Just because you don't like things in Halo 4 doesn't make the storyline, characters or plot 'bad' - to say such a thing is downright ignorant. To say it's the worst of the year is either a terrible example of trolling, an irrational and overemotional display of hatred or complete ignorance to the fact that there are a lot of games out there with legitimately awful storytelling, characters and plots.

Stop with the blind hatred. It doesn't get you, the Halo franchise or the Halo community anywhere.

This is their view of what a plot twist is (Spoilers):

*I find out Vaas is Citra's brother*

"Whoa! No Way! That's so-"

"Wait a second... How does that change anything in the storyline again?"

Tough one. I'm going with Halo 4, but not because I'm blindly hating. I couldn't stop laughing uncontrollably during the "emotional" sequences between Cortana and Chief. AI can't feel emotions. It's silly to base a great deal of the plot around a flaw.


Obviously they can have emotions, because cortana has done throughout the entire series. Blind hater.


No, she hasn't. She's been programmed to appear to have emotions. She can't actually feel them because she's not alive.
