Let me ask something here. There is plenty of trash talk towards killzone whenever it's brought up. I played Killzone years ago. I avoided reviews and went in blindly and I loved the campaign. When certain characters died I was actually heartbroken. The intense center of the battlefield theme was intense and I loved it. It provided more of a challenge than most shooters and it's gameplay was unique. Killzone multiplayer is where I have some of my most fond multiplayer memories. I had SO much fun in Killzone multiplayer. What I always see is "LOL Sony think they can kill HALOOOO LLOOLOOLOL Halo has the best campaigns in all of gaming XBOX MASTERRAAAACE. KILLZONE IS SHIIIIIIT" (you'd be surprised, some people actually said it that immaturely. So I went and played Halo and I can't help but feel like the campaign is missing so many essential parts. Good narrative, good cinematics, dialogue, good characters, lots of things. Halo CE was cringeworthy. One of my least favorite shooters actually. The only good part I found in it was the vehicles and the beginning of the campaign, then the campaign just slowly dies throughout the game. I played Halo Reach which was better but still lacking in certain areas. I can't help but feel bored in the Halo campaigns when there's nothing but very long gameplay shooting segments with no narrative to progress the story other than dialogue from Cortana or anyone else on the comms (THIS IS WHY I HATE DESTINY'S CAMPAIGN). In Killzone there's the occasional voice on the comms but most of the time your people are WITH YOU on the battlefield fighting by your side screaming and shouting at you over the gunfire, it just makes it more immersive and progressed the story more. So my question is this: If Halo has so little cutscenes and dialogue and very little characterization with one of the most cardboard of cardboard characters with very little to progress the actual story other than shooting shit, how is it sooo much better than every other shooter out there? How does it have "the best story in gaming"? This is exactly what Killzone Shadow Fall was and it sucked when compared to its predecessors. It had a cardboard character (although he talks more than Chief), less memorable characters, more comm chatter to replace 3rd person cutscenes, etc. I want to like Halo because it has an intriguing universe but each time I try it, it just feels like Bungie/343 is missing out on fleshing out the universe IN THE GAME and would rather just publish books, which is ok, but the lore needs to be IN THE GAME. Look at Dragon Age Inquisition. IT has such an expansive codex for the lore and such a deep universe I couldn't take myself away from it. I was expecting a similar feeling to Halo but I'm still waiting for it. So what makes Halo's campaign "so great"? I can't figure it out. I haven't played the multiplayer and frankly I can't because I'm borrowing a friend's Xbox and it's not mine to make an account on and all that jazz. He wants it back the exact way he gave it to me as. So multiplayer is out of this contrast This is not a console hating post, this is simple comparing/contrasting and a simple question. You like Halo's campaign? tell me why. You hate Killzone? Tell me why. That's all. If anyone is about to comment something along the lines of "LOL SONY PONY PEASANT" let me say that I loved Gears of War. It's one of my FAVORITE shooters ever actually. No lie, I -blam!-ing loved it (except the first one, it was kinda meh). Gears 2 and 3 are just amazing. Now COMMENT
