Seriously... Forge is absolutely, mind bogglingly amazing.The Austin said:
It's worth the price of the game for that feature alone. It's like Halo Lego!
I don't think I have ever gotten so addicted to something so quickly, the stuff you can build is absolutely amazing.
Gamertag: Miracleofsound if you guys wanna share maps we've made!
Halo 2 tweaked gameplay and graphics in very satisfying ways. The problem with it was its abrupt ending. That didn't ruin the experience completely.Sneaky-Pie said:
Halo 3 had its positive points. I hated the flood level. It was short. But, for when it was released, it was pretty. ODST: Ug so far. I'll give it some more time. I haven't finished it yet.
Reach? I don't have it. Did they tweak the graphics? ODST looked worse than 3. Hey, COD is out there pushing the envelope. The PS3 has Killzone 2, about the best looking FPS ever. Halo guys; do not rest on your laurels. We, your fans, can move on.
Blasted through the campaign last night on normal. Enjoyed the game as I have done with the others. Havn't hit multiplayer yet, but have heard good things so am looking forward to that. I didn't feel it was a let down as I havn't really followed any of the hype.
If we are to use that analogy, to put it another way:heavymedicombo said:

I.E if you don't like Halo, no one is forcing you to reply to every thread, no one is forcing you to get into debates with the fanbase, no one is forcing you to have to acknowledge in any way shape or form the very existence of the franchise.
And yet, you do. You erupt flame wars in Halo threads and you make sure every thread involving Halo has to have your negative opinion drenched in it. Hence you aren't being 'punched in the guy numerous times' as you are 'grabbing someone's fist and slamming it willfully into your own chest'.
Point is, you can't just use the fact that the game exists and that people like it as a good enough excuse to go around insulting people.
No, the biggest letdown ever is that Valkyria Chronicles 3 is still a PSP game.
Fail Sega. Fail.
Fail Sega. Fail.
Wow are we complaining that a generic space marine shooter is generic and contains space marines?
Of course it didn't live up to the hype. It didn't live up to the hype the first time, second time, third, fourth or 6 billionth.
I'm sure the Halo games are great, if you're into that sort of thing, but if you haven't caught on by now that Microsoft overhype everything then you're an idiot.

I haven't played a Halo game since the first one, and so since there was no hype for me I was pleasantly surprised by this game, and have been enjoying it a bunch.
I guess the lesson is not to follow 'big' games until after they come out, have decided whether it's worth the $60 on your own, and played it some. I know Warhammer Online sucked me in with the hype, oi vey that was a mistake, but experience is what life's all about.

I wouldn't call it a let down seeing how I never considered buying it, but then again I had no expectations beyond that it would be colourfull and stupid.
Ok you my friend are surferring from what i call overhypeitis its when you expect to much from a game and it does not live up to your to what you thought it would be, I however don't fall for the hype so I enjoyed it alot probaly the best halo game yet and probaly will be the greatest of all time
Super fail. Seeing as how I was comparing the game to other halos, your comment is invalid, but I'll amuse you.heavymedicombo said:
As far as the halos go, it had an extremely good ending, the best in any halo game.
And there are better endings than Shadow of Collosus, while it was a good ending, it is not the best I've seen.
Thanks for the wild accusation, though, it did make my day.
As for the fanboy comment, you have two things wrong. One, I'm a lady. Two, give the Halo games some merit, while they are not the best games in the world (far from it actually), they have actually done a lot of the gaming industry. Anyone who says otherwise is completely oblivious. You can thank the Halo games for the boom in online console play. Halo really made online gaming (for consoles) a big deal and really popularized it.
The games themselves are alright. I'm not a fan girl, but I can stand back and enjoy the games, just like to try to do with an other $60 game purchase I make.
Also, seeing as you're still relatively new to the forums, don't accuse people of fanboy/fangirlism, it makes you, the accuser, look very bad.
Wow. So saying 'biggest let down EVAR' really has become the new 'cool' thing to do. Really pisses me off to see people start whining whenever a popular AAA title comes out. It's really petulant. It was the same with Modern Warfare 2. I know that had its problems, but christ the amount of whining from the community was just so irritating. This isn't the only forum i've seen the 'cry moar Reach sucks' thread either.
No, Reach was not a let down. It was the best campaign of the series. It humanised your character and your squad. It made you care about your squad and as you knew what was going to happen in the end, you had a sense of impending doom, and yet the bit towards the end where you hold out against impossible odds á-la '300' showed that Noble Team wasn't ready to go down without a fight. It felt like there was an actual war going on around me as opposed to wading through leagues of covenant and being a one man army, as we so often saw with Master Chief. I also thought it was reasonably long, too, but maybe that's because i played in Legendary. What with the new daily and weekly challenges system too i feel i have something to roughly strive for when i get online as opposed to just killing time in random matchmaking sessions. If i had to fault it, i'd say Invasion Slayer is very weak. There's just no point to capturing points on the map for reinforcements when you're a sitting duck while you do and the enemy can still use your weapons and vehicles if they kill you and come claim it. It's like a broken king of the hill.
