Topic: Halo 3!

[Blue Cheese]

I like Halo. I've got 1 and 2 and still counting pennies for 3. No it's not revolutionary; it does nothing that other games haven

Halo may be overrated (it doesnt hold a candle to half-life or, in my opinion, the original turok.) but its a good game. (and infinitely better with friends...in person, not Live.

Also...i must admit the "Believe" ad campaign was rather effective and much better than what a "finish the fight" campaign would have been.

Yeah we have edit buttons though. Just keep an eye on it and try to get used to the new system.

As for the launch... eh, I took the day off from the 25th but not cuz I wanted to play Halo (never touched the game ever). Sleep was much needed. 12 hours of sleep FTW.

Also, guys, watch it with the name calling and insult exchanges.

Saving and sharing movies multiplies the fun factor by about ten billion. You can download a movie from your friend while they are offline(!), and move and pan the camera around the entire stage during the clip, follow any of the characters you choose, zoom in and out, etc. It is fantastic. The game saves a recording of each match you play (I think it stores the last 15 matches or so), so if you hit an amazing headshot or something, you just load the video of that match afterwards, find that particular moment, and save your clip. You can then upload your clips (or screenshots, or game variants, or whatever) to your shared folder so your friends can download them whether you're online or not. Very slick for a console game, I think.

Here you go. This guy pretty much explains the whole Halo situation.

Oh boy, someone that took a game and completely emphasized its weaker points.  That proves everything about this "situation" where around 4 million gamers are having fun, mixed in with a small minority that just simply can't let that happen.

You wanna play a game where we post a positive review for every negative one you do? Seriously... how do you think that would turn out?

[Rugal]

That guy clearly states that Halo 3 isn't a bad game. He also states that it is no where near perfect, like all the game reviewers have been claiming. And he is very accurate when he states it's run of the mill,and has been done before but even better *Cough* BIOSHOCK *Cough HACK*.

I never said that he said it was a bad game, I said he emphasized it's weaker aspects, which, in fact, he did.

[Kale]

That guy brings out the bad out of lots of things. He also has a Bioshock and such reviews.

Only one he went out of his way to claim good and that was Psychonauts.
