Fisherman.. ..that comment made absolutely ZERO sense. ..Most of the PC only fanboys say Halo 3 is played by a bunch of 12 year olds.. ..You say it's played by a bunch of mid 40's aged men (I am only 38 thank you very much) ..so which is it? Should we just average it out? Or should we assume that is just has a WIDER demographic than games you are accustomed to playing? Your call. Kevin legionosh@msn.com » Login to reply to this

I'll bet you your kickass PC setup against my PC, 360, and Wii that Halo 3 sells more units and makes more profit than Crysis. » Login to reply to this

The fact that you mentioned Area 51 in the list of yours as an "onslaught" of PC games, makes your existence a joke. grab a plastic bag....end it quickly. » Login to reply to this

At least they get to play on the couch rather than sitting on a computer seat uncomfortably. So there is a trade off, I'll stick to comfort (comfort vs high def) BTW I dont even like the Halo series, but playing on a console on the couch with some blankets and a cup noodle or beer rules! » Login to reply to this

They should of spent a little more time with "The Tilt" level, that was horrendous, but overall the game satisfied...cool article though, was a good read. » Login to reply to this

Pidge... ..I actually like the mountain dew and hope they keep making it once the endorsement deal is over. I kind of doubt it so I am stocking up on it a bit so I have a little in reserve. ..and I agree with Moosemuffin on this. Over advertising (to some people anyway, not me personally) doesn't mean a game isn't good/great or that it isn't worth playing. That kind of judgment is for the kind of people who like a band until they get signed..then they hate them. The band could make the exact same type of records..but because the band can now actually make a living from their music the fans hate them..retarded if you ask me. ..and no amount of advertising will garner all the positive reviews Halo 3 has been getting, nor will any amount of advertising make ANY game (that isn't good or great) sell $300 million in it's first week. If it was a crap game we would definitely hear about it from all the reviews. But 99% of them give it 9.5+ (I have yet to see anything lower than a 9.2 personally)..but to you that means "they bought into the hype"..right? ..and while the special edition console may seem a bit much, Japan does it all the time for games like Final Fantasy..but using your logic that must mean Final Fantasy isn't worth playing..right? ..and more and more games are coming out with special editions..although the legendary edition seems to be an exception. But if the fans want it why not give it to them? The extreme Fans of anything will buy things like this.. So before you go on and on with the "I didn't buy into the hype, therefore I am above everyone else", don't patronize anyone who according you "bought into the hype".. I had originally ordered a limited edition, but when I saw how cool the helmet was I returned it and scrapped up enough to get the legendary. ..did I buy into the hype? Maybe a little, but I like the Halo series anyway. I am by no means one of the extreme fans, but I enjoy the games..and I like the soda. My two cents, Kevin legionosh@msn.com » Login to reply to this  Knuckles (1358)   Oct 05, 2007 - 01:43 pm I think advertising matters more to than gameplay when it comes to selling a game. Lets face it people like to be told what to like and what is fashionable. That's what advertisement campaign set out to do, to make a product hip and cool. How many people that bought Halo 3 tried it before thought it? They can't have had a much of a chance since they bought it immediately, so they must have trusted someone else, right. So even when people say they like it, can you really trust that their opinion is not tainted by the brainwashing, I mean advertisement campaign. Maybe they think they like it, but if they had played the game without ever having heard of it before, they might not like it as much. So is this game any good? I haven't tried it but I might trick someone to give it to me as a Christmas present. I'll wait until then to make a judgment on it. However, I though that the first game pretty good but fell a part in the latter levels with the repeated level design. The second game: I did not like playing for the other side, so I thought those levels where boring. I don't even remember if I even finished it. Over all I think the level design outdoors is good but the indoors are bad. Maybe the game engine has trouble with indoors similar to IDs' engines problems in the past with outdoors. The story is on par with most FPS games, nothing to write home about, better than Doom but worse than Unreal/Deus Ex. I have never really played FPS games for the story, it is nice to have but, you know :) The graphics when the first Halo game came out were great, well at least outdoors as indoors design was so plain it didn't show anything off. As Halo 2 came 3 years later,they weren't bad but nothing spectacular either. From the screenshots of Halo 3, I must say they don't look like the same big step as Halo did when it was released 2001. But one must see it in action to make good judgment on it. Maybe it's just that there are so many games today with good graphics that they, games with good graphics that is, don't stand out as they did before. I should note that graphics don't really matter much to me as I only have a SDTV and play my PC games at no more than 1024x768. So to summarize, I liked Halo but Halo 2 not so much. Actually FS review of Halo 2 is sums it up I think Halo 3 might be good (close to Halo) or might be a bad (close to Halo 2), I'll have to wait and see. As for the the rivalry between Halo (console players) and PC FPS gamers. I think it might be possible to sum it up as rivalry between then ignorant and the arrogant. As people who have not played both are ignorant of what the other side has to offer. And arrogant, maybe elitism is a better word, people who think there way of playing is the only right way.

So too much advertising means a game isn't worth playing? » Login to reply to this
