halo 3/death of the internet
 

I've noticed something.. it seems the internet kind of... died lately.. people have been getting on, but it's VERY infrequent.. people seem to not be responding to my messages as quickly, etc.. I see myspace not being logged into in the past few days...

Are that many people playing Halo 3?! (if so, they're weirdos; Halo blows.. very very boring; the multiplayer is okay, but I honestly think Goldeneye's was more fun.. proximity mines in the facility!!!)

I never understood the whole jazz of halo either. It's really not that fun. I'd rather play Counterstrike or Warcraft 3. OR Goldeneye. That really was a good game.

But FF3 and Chrono Trigger owns all.

Even cowgirls get the blues.

I got Halo 3 yesterday because my son wanted it so badly.

I'm glad that he's happy with it, because it gives me a headache to watch.

I prefer tactical squad type shooters that involve more skillful planning (like Rainbow 6) over a simple gib-fest (like Halo).

EVERYBODY is crying about Halo 3 taking friends "offline" though (and I don't get it). it's only been out 36 hours and the net's already falling apart?

if TEH_BIG_LAN has such a tenuous hold on sustainability, maybe it deserves to DIE.

Nah, I'm not complaining, and I wasn't even aware that anyone else was, just observing.

yeah, there were several posts on the WoW boards that basically said the same thing (don't play much WoW, but it's fun to watch geeks fight).

I don't think that the problem is Halo though, I think the net's just full of suck lately.

maybe it's viral.

I'd raher play Zelda


My bro lent me his Zelda Twilight and it is fucking awesome!

Yeah, I'm busy playing Ikaruga, Silent Hill 2, Skies of Arcadia Legends, Tales of Symphonia, etc.

I'm waiting for Twilight Princess to become a GReatest Hits title before I buy it.. should be any day now. Zelda <3

im to busy with solid snake....having anal sex with otacon
:P

no no but i am waiting for MGS4, it looks insane

Silent hill 2 rocks doesnt it atsonic.

yeah, zelda rules.

Zelda was my favorite game, when I used to play games. I like the early ones a lot.

me too, i also don't play games anymore, just every once in a while...i guess i wore myself out playing them when i was younger.

Contrary to SY Gossip beleif I got Halo 3 on the day it came out and enjoy it very much so

You know, there are just some things that I wish weren't brought up for discussion...

Sorry, I'm whining. Please continue.

you know.

silent hill 2 has one of the best stories i've ever fucking seen in a game. some of the best sounds. some of the best graphics (it looks like you're playing a fucking david lynch film!). but the gameplay is just so... hmmm... i dunno. i'm near the end of it (i think; it sure seems that way) and it just hasn't really... i dunno. i think their focus on realism kinda brought it down a notch, ie "you can only look at the map in the light" and "you fight like an idiot because .. you're not skilled at weapons." Yay, it's realistic, but that makes it unfun. metal gear solid, though, i actually love those, it took me forever to get into them (my jaded teenage self went, "fuck those games, it's like playing a fucking movie fuck it!") but i realized later that everything about them was really, really clever and fun. i definitely think snake eater was the best of the series and mgs4 is going to be fucking amazing.

I get very bored with first person shooters. They need to be very story oriented a la the old goldeneye game. that was fun.
I have played all the zeldas since the first one. ocarina, windwalker, and twilight are my faves. this newer one (twilight) is soooooo BIG and sooooo deep and sooooo lush. amazing.

am I the only one on the forum whose favorite games are racing games?

I fucking love racing games. Gran Turismo 4 had me rock hard for 6 months straight.

I never liked Halo.

In 1998 a very similar game came out called Outwars. Except Outwars was a lot better. And Outwars was a mediocre game. Also- Starsiege Tribes.


I don't get Halo. I'd much rather play Counter-Strike. I like games in which most weapons have very fast moving projectiles and people are easier to kill.

Unreal Tournament is an exception to that. But Unreal tournament was a lot more fun than Halo.

honestly, the only first person shooter i've enjoyed since goldeneye is metroid prime... but i LOVE metroid games, period (super metroid is my all time favorite game), so...

halo is just awful. most people that like it that i know don't seem to have a grasp of what gaming is. sorry, but it's true.

but yeah, zelda is the best series ever, i LOVE wind waker and ocarina of time (number two favorite game ever) and zelda ii and link to the past and... actually, every zelda game is great. i played twilgiht princess for wii, but i can't fucking wait for it to be a greatest hits gamecube title so i can buy it and play it nonstop. you won't see me on here at all that week! (much to the delight of some of you)

my save file for twilight has logged over 34 hours of game play and I am about 3/5 of the way through the freaking game! huge!!!!! How do they pack so much game into such a tiny gamecube disc?
