Re: Halo 3 Next Tuesday!
The Halo series is extremely overrated. Albeit, it has a fun multiplayer, but that's just about it. It hasn't done anything to make it stand out from everything else except the fact that its budget is as big as a blockbuster movie's.

Re: Halo 3 Next Tuesday!
Let's see, who in the Staff played the **** out of Halo 2:
Me Synthlight Lightdarkness Cyanotic XTC I'm sure there are more, I'm just forgetting some people. Anyway, the point is this: Unless you want to be hunted down by Synthlight, you will like Halo 3, you gutless whores. Love, Spec

0.1% of the entire population of the world may be owners of Halo indeed, the number might even be less that, but DON'T say that 99.9% of the population don't even know what Halo is. There're books, comic books, toys... In addition to an RTS game made by Ensemble Studios, there's even going to be a movie to be directed or produced by Peter Jackson. I am One-Hundred percent positive that your made-up facts on the game are fallacies, which is a created result produced by the beliefs you have on the game. People who say it's overrated- Get over it. The numbers say that the game is going to be a massive hit, it's already sold over a million pre-orders, which is an industry record whether you like it or not. Many many many people like to play it, and they're hyping it up because of them. Most already know this, but I'm thrilled that Halo 3 will be out soon. I enjoy the multiplayer immensely, and plan on buying it the day it comes out and taking that day off of work as well as college.

I said "Either don't know what it is or have no interest in owning it." I know what Halo is. I've even played it. I have no interest in owning it. Chalk one up for 99.9% I have every right to say a franchise with pre-existing titles is overrated. That pre-existing notion of the franchise leads me to believe another game in the franchise will be just like the previous two titles. What facts did I make up? I looked up how many people own the game and divided that into 6.5 billion people. Difficult calculations here! What I said has absolutely nothing to do with hype. I have no idea why you're ranting about something I didn't even talk about. EVERY game has hype. If you don't have hype, you don't sell any units. That doesn't mean it's good or bad. Lair had hype. It's a terrible piece of crap. Doesn't mean people won't buy it. Doesn't mean some people will love it or not. It's completely irrelevant. It's overrated. There are dozens of other FPSes out there that are far better than Halo and it disappoints me to see you're all so biased toward this pathetic franchise that you blind yourself from the experience of a real game. |

Re: Halo 3 Next Tuesday!
99.9% is a bit much, Squeek. Even counting in Africa and places that don't know what an X-Box is, I'm pretty sure way more than .1% of the world knows what Halo is... =\
I mean really Squeek, I saw your name as the last post and just thought "why why why". I don't see why you bother. The thing with Halo is, and always has been, that it didn't do anything special. If you had an X-Box and didn't have a PC, yeah, maybe Halo was RLY RLY GUD. I, however, had been playing games that did everything that Halo did (and more) for a while before Halo was even released. Had everything gone as originally planned and Halo had been released for the PC first, NOBODY would care about it. It'd be another average shooter that comes and goes and gets ignored. The only reason it ever got popular and stayed popular was because it was basically the first (and only, at least for a while) decent shooter on the X-Box, which was a console marketted towards people who would like to play a FPS but probably didn't have a sweet PC. I mean, Halo isn't a bad game, oh no. But like, get a computer and freaking play ANY OTHER FPS game on it. Then play Halo on the PC. AND DON'T EVEN SAY YOU LIKE HALO MORE THAN OTHER FPS GAMES BECAUSE IT HAS A STORYLINE. Playing an FPS for its story is like jacking off to porn because you want to be more sensitive to women's feelings.

Re: Halo 3 Next Tuesday!
well now i ask (and i ask this because i'm of that 99.9% who don't know anything about halo 1 2 and 3) what makes halo different from other FPS?
i mean metroid is different because is more puzzle-based and is not just about shooting (in fact is called a FPA) bioshock also has the special powers the main character has (i forgot the name of those powers) and the ability to select the ending of the game. well what makes halo different? |

Also, don't think you're alone in thinking that it's overrated, I'm pretty sure there are people out there who think it is, but that's their tastes. The majority just happens to enjoy 'fake games' I guess, like Halo. Ever heard of Tribes?

Which would mean they know what it is but just don't have any interest in playing it.

He's entitled to his opinion that it's overrated, I stated my own opinion. I only picked at his fallacies because they were not backed by any factual data and people around here are prone to believe anything anyone with an intelligent internet voice says.

Re: Halo 3 Next Tuesday!
Yeah dude I'm totally retarded and I have asperger's please explain it to me further
anyways this isn't critical thinking and I've spoken with enough people who think the game is overrated in their opinion, and it's usually because they think it doesn't really add anything new to the genre. So? I play it because it's just sick fun, and it's a nice competitive game that many people, strangers and friends both, like to play. Now personally I think the original Half-Life is the best FPS of all time, but Halo 3 is definitely a contender...Just have to wait and see what it brings to the online table. EDIT: Oh and by the way, You know what Bioshock reminds me of? This game. Like WoW, I don't think Halo 3 really adds much anything new to the genre rather than just...Well, do whatever it does, really good.

Re: Halo 3 Next Tuesday!
i know more people that love halo than people who hate halo so i think it's not really overrated, sorry but i think just 0.01% is too low for a game with this kind of hype
