HALO 3 TOMORROW

Dyne · 09-24-2007, 03:58 PM

Fuckin' finally.

Anyone doing a midnight thing?

Definitely. I'm so excited for this. I'm currently attempting to do some homework that is due on Wednesday, but I can't concentrate.

Yesterday, I went to Circuit City and picked up the Spartan version of the Halo 3 Special Edition Xbox 360 controllers. I'm such a tool.

My God, there are actually people on Gametavern who LIKE Halo??? Reading the posts I imagined it was widely hated on this forum. Its good to see some people have some sense.

I won't be able to get a 360 or Halo3 until after I get back from my honeymoon, but I can't wait. I have even caight myself humming the theme at work...

I think the real issue is those of us that played Halo had a real bitter taste left in our collective mouths after Halo 2. It just ended so abruptly I think we just resented it a bit.

Whether the single player is good or bad, I'm psyched for the multiplayer.

Oh, P.S. to anybody thinking about getting a 360 for Halo:

Don't worry Strangler, I want you to know I'll always be here for you.

I say we organize a game for this weekend.

As my copy of the game won't be coming in until later on this week.

Working on Turok with a bunch of Halo fanatics, it's kind of a job requirement to get Halo now. I really did like the other 2, though. I'm playing through 2 again with my brother as we speak.

I can't wait for Halo 3 to come out - so I can not play it like I did with Halo 1 and 2.

Bond · 09-24-2007, 08:33 PM

I fucking have the legendary edition preordered, but have no 360 here in Madison.

Fuck.

Personally speaking, I think Halo is probably one of the most overrated franchises there are now.

Only reasons getting

4 player co-op
And most ppl i know on Live will be playing and enjoy playing with friends.

Honestly, its hard to call something overrated when it has broken pretty much every sales record in gaming history. I'd say that makes it rated right where it should be.

I've never called Mario an overrated franchise... I find him uncredibly played out and annoying, but his rating as one of the all time greats stands. Just as Halo's rating as the franchise that made FPS games (or even all non-sports games) mainstream stands as well. You could also call it the game that bridged the gap between adults and casual gaming.

Halo is the game that changed everything for original content in gaming.

I don't think sales should equate to quality.

Not saying it is a bad game, I just think that people put it on this huge pedestal but I just never felt it deserved it.

I can see why people will consider it important, but that doens't mean can't feel the way I feel.

I never said you couldn't feel that way, I just said it was hard. In my opinion, it is hard to call Halo overrated. Opinions work both ways.

I don't think it's hard to call it overrated, but we won't agree on this.

I mean it's not like I'm not buying the game, just don't see what everyone else sees in it.

That is all I guess.
