Yes, but until last week I did not own a 360 to be able to play...also I'm a PC purist...so Halo stopped hitting my radar after Halo 3. I do approve of this switch. Pisses me off how run n gun and wearing an opponent out is completely worthless without such systems

Soul Calibur's plot is at the very least unique just not presented even remotely decent. I still don't know what occurred during SCIV and I say once again
With some exceptions like puzzle games and the like

You meant to say genre, and I wouldn't normally point this out but you told someone else to 'learn to read.' You aren't doing yourself any favors here.

This is the funniest case of gender confusion I have ever witnessed.

Game was fantastic without it. True story.
Hows that PC SC working out for you?

Awesome. There's no trolls until i hit the forums. I have yet to get an online math tho in fairness
...I mean in regards to FPS. Mouse/keyboard is too valuable to the gameplay. But if you like COD...you're fucked on PC...like UBER fucked.

Genre is no excuse for a games terribleness. I don't know what draws you to a game, but single player story is it for me. This being a Soul Calibur forum, it would seem hypocritical of me to say that the Soul series has a good story. I think it does have a good story. However, the execution of that story leaves much to be desired. Some of the characters have great reasons for doing what they do. But, if you know anything at all about Cassandra and Sophitia's relationship, you (like me) had to go look it up.
The FPS genre as a whole, lacks pacing. It's a constant barrage of explosions and gunfights that just leave you bored and kind of wiped out after playing it, ergo Bioshock 2 (Bioshock 1 was excellent). And dear lord don't get me started on the overused antagonists, Terrorists, Russians; they all fall in that vein of Star Wars villains, "We're evil because someone has to be."
Enough of my rantings.

It totally fuckin is! Have you ever tried to do binary algebra in lag! It doesn't change a damn thing but fuck if it isn't annoying!
I like games for different reasons. Uncharted...awesome story...multiplayer...can't give a shit. I still think the game is phenomenal. Battlefield 3, shit single player, amazing multiplayer. Pretty much every fighter...I can give 2 fucks less about the canon and single player, they are purely perks. I loved MK for its single player but dropped it as i got annoyed with it as a competitive game. MvC and SC4...terrible single player content spare CAS creation, but i still thought they were amazing. Single player is good and should be strived for but a game can still be amazing for it's focused intent. If SC5 has terrible single player again, I won't bat an eye because the meat of the game is multiplayer. In some sense you need to almost look at it as 2 different games in 1. Multiplayer driven genres can exist purely outside the fluff so they need to be judged separately. Right now people are comparing Bf3 and COD and in large the consensus is COD wins for better compaign, but BF3 is much better multi...but review over all is putting BF3 in the lead.

I love how people talked about MW3 like it was new fucking game. I played it and it felt the same as the second... and the first.

Ah how shooters have let us down of late. Maybe Half Life episode 3 can come out (eventually...) and cheer us all up again.
