Ding ding. We have the ultimate answer right here.

And yet the debate rages on.

It's essentially equivalent to the atheist/theist debate. "This is what I value, and I value it more than I value what you value, therefore, my position is better."

Yikes.

Play Halo 1 (notice I said Halo 1!!!...2 is only okay) 16 player multiplayer with GOOD people, and you'll understand why.

Halo's single player is dreadful. Its repetitive, boring, and the storyline never seemed to be anything more than a mediocre sci-fi tale. People rave about Halo's storyline saying its unbelievable, but it just didnt seem that cool to me.

But the multiplayer is genious.

Just my 2 cents.

Read the books. You'll understand why.

Totally respect your opinion m8 - A lot of people love the multiplayer in Halo. I just didn't think it did anything better than a lot of other FPS' out there.

Sometimes the "expanded universe" media for popular franchises (I.e. Star Wars, various video game franchises, and other sci-fi type worlds) is actually really well written and surpasses some of the source material in quality.

Damnit, guess I gotta buy the 360

i'm pretty shocked that this game lived up to its expectations. You don't see that often these days. The thought that went into the gameplay as well as the graphics is worthy of praise. This might be the first game that justifies the previously mindless rush toward polygon count as it compliments the...eh, i'll say it, 'unreal' graphics with the mechanics of the gameplay.

Maybe 3 games in the last 5 years have held my attention or made me want to play a video game like this game.

Nice work guys, $1,000,000,000 well spent ^.^

I'd have it if only I had a 360...

Posted by TazZ-erT on Nov-10-2006 04:01:

is this a reason for me to go out and buy the console now?

Nonsense. Stick with Nintendo as you always have. I will do the same.

For the PC.

You can't compare PC gaming to console gaming.

I just did.

It's like the fate debate, an argument for fools.

The only fools in that debate are the ones who think they know that it exists or not. The only fool here is you, if you think you can compare gameplay to the concept of fate.

Hmmm, funny, I made that EXACT same post in a thread about fate earlier this week. Guess you missed it.

Not true, first because you completely misinterpretted my meaning, and second because the debate comparing consoles to pc's is absolutely, without a doubt, as pointless as a debate about the existence of fate. The only fools are the ones who still wage such a meaningless battle.

Unless it's just the sleep talking, wouldn't you then be a fool, also?

I'm taking part in so such debate sir. Only pointing out the futility in engaging in it.

Yes, now go buy a 360, a copy of gears of war, and an xbox live subscription. And your good to go...

I'm still busy with my ps2 and FF12... Vaan is so gay I expect him to suddenly spin around and start sucking Balthier's cock at any given dialogue moment

Posted by Masonious on Nov-11-2006 03:06:

they made the Gears of War soldiers really effeminate too. Probably 9/10 scenes they're crying. Ridiculous.

Posted by Masonious on Nov-11-2006 03:55:

no but seriously this game is sexy time on a console. except instead of 3d it's 3d in 2d.
