When Halo 3 came out.
'Nuff said.
Uhh, no? "'Nuff said" implies that you've adequately explained why. A game you presumably dislike on a given platform is hardly a reason to 'give up' on that platform. Have you even played said game? Did it somehow destroy your console upon release? This really raises more questions than it answers. Or am I missing the point, are you just trying to be a part of the cool crowd by expressing how much you hate halo at any given opportunity?
Apologies, wrong button pressed to send an empty message.
This is another thing that made me give up on the xbox. Pedantic Fanboys. I gave up on the xbox when Halo came out because I tried it and genuinly hated it, and it made me look at the xbox in a whole difference light, seeing it as a massive pile of turd I'm paying for the pleasure of going online with, so I could meet more pedantic fanboys. Still need an adequite explanation or can anyone else think of more flames to attach to what should be an implied situation of Halo ruining the xbox for me.
Oh by the way, I don't need to express my hatred of Halo to be part of the cool crowd. I figure its not worth it when I can just as easily go outside and do something useful or enjoyable. But you go play with the cool children.
Zing, those are some solid assumptions you've made there. I'd probably be mildly offended if any of them were remotely relevent to anything I've ever said.
Pedantic fanboy, me? Sure, probably...I am to some degree. With regard to halo? Is that a joke? Halo 3 even, that game that scored somewhere between 5 and 6 hours total playtime in it's life at my house...hardly...I
did like the original halo, though that came out before I could afford a decent gaming computer and as such had never played a halfway decent FPS title before. I'm not oblivious to the advance (or, in the case of Australians like myself, deterioation) of multiplayer console games. Further expressing why it was a failed flame is a waste of my time, but needless to say I don't
hate or
like halo, I'm just tired of constantly hearing how bad it is/was. Xbox fanboy is probably innacurate as well, I have both an Xbox 360 and a ps3 and play my PC more than the two combined (in the past year I've played perhaps 20 hours of xbox, which I'd have matched in the past month on my PS3 which I've matched in the past 2 days on my PC). So no, in this context pedantic fanboy is hardly an accurate representation of my state of mind.
I suppose though, you have a PS3 or wii and enjoy it very much, maybe a PC even. Is it that you hate any remote competition to your beloved platform of choice? Is the relative sucess of the halo franchise too much for you to handle? Did grand theft auto ruin the PS2 for you? How about goldeneye on the n64, I bet that completely desecrated any chance you ever had of enjoying the console. Or maybe I'm looking at this the wrong way, maybe you used to be a rabid halo fanboy and couldn't properly handle halo3 not living up to your expectations, perhaps you bought an xbox 360 and 12 months of gold membership because you thought it was good. Actually, that last one almost sounds plausable
I'm impressed (jelious even) that you can go outside and do something useful. I myself don't have that luxury during the exam period, unfortunately I have a plan for my future and it involves passing exams. Besides, most of my friends are studying rigorously at the moment anyway. I can go out to the world in a little under a month (though I garuntee I'll be
having too much fun for anything 'useful to get done')...If you can distinguish that going outside and ignoring things you dislike is far cooler than pointlessly bitching about irrelivent videogames, why did you bring up halo in the first place?
