Halo Wars demo out now - impressions thread

I have to admit I really did laugh out loud, when after all that BoHop stated that he hasn't even played the series. That was a gem moment.

WTF? It's a cliched shallow universe. I know I read it on Wikipedia. LMAO.

Oh my, that is very special indeed.

[QUOTE="BobHipJames"]Anything is incapable of standing on its own merit, that's why we created the discipline of reasoned argument. I don't think what I've said is vague. "A plot twist or a revelation doesn't necessitate interest." That's it. General, maybe....obviously true. Doesn't make it vague and certainly doesn't make it incapable of having merit.Johnny-n-Roger

[QUOTE="BobHipJames"][QUOTE="Johnny-n-Roger"] You're essentially requiring anyone who doesn't think that Halo is a shallow universe rife with cliches to prove otherwise, while offering absolutely no substance to support your argument. This isn't the court of law. You're not innocent until proven guilty.Johnny-n-Roger

[QUOTE="Johnny-n-Roger"][QUOTE="BobHipJames"] Oh, please. I've established the obvious cliches and I expressed that the universe was OUTWARDLY shallow. You're the one grasping for straws, because you're manufacturing something that I never actually said. I suggest you roll back a few pages and read what I actually said. Your absence of a quotation indicates to me that you're not attempting to prove YOUR claims. Meanwhile, I'm guilty until proven innocent. Likely frickin' story.BobHipJames

You're really manipulating my position, here. I'm not trying "to discredit someone else's opinion," and in case you forgot, there's more than one essay that, according to the author, is intentionally filled with ad hominem directed entirely at me. I'm the clown here? What am I supposed to say, Priceless? Ridiculous?

The caps may become a bit redundant, but why would you come into a thread concerning first impressions of a DEMO YOU HAVEN'T PLAYED that is part of a FRANCHISE YOU HAVEN'T PLAYED to question the depth and originality of A UNIVERSE THAT YOU KNOW RELATIVELY LITTLE ABOUT? What was your objective here. Better yet, what IS your objective here?

[QUOTE="BobHipJames"][QUOTE="Johnny-n-Roger"] :lol: It's not my point to argue, as I'm not a fan of Halo, and the universe is completely uninteresting to me. Thats just my opinion. I just find it amusing that you're going to such lengths to discredit someone else's opinion of A GAME YOU HAVEN'T PLAYED. SW at it's finest.Johnny-n-Roger

i really enjoyed the demo. didnt really get into it at first but i ended up playing it for 3 hours straight before i knew it. im surprised that so many people seemed to have liked it. ive only seen a few negative posts(and one epic sci-fi debate). im guessing there will be plenty of people playing this when it comes out. see the game has more going for it than the Halo brand. its kind of simple but in a good way and im sure its deeper than it looks. theres a ton of unit upgrades and special abilities that will keep things interesting. didnt really care about the game before but now im thinking of buying it day one.tikki25x

You really owe it to yourself to check out Command and Conquer : Red Alert 3, C&C:Tiberium, and C&C: Kane's if this game really did that much for you.

Aladdin : "A whole new world!"

Nintendo and Sony never even bothered to make an rts game work on consoles.

Halo Wars will own.

PSN actually has Two from Sony, as we speak...but that's okay, because the 3 different Command and Conquer Games and the LOTR games available for the 360 are currently superior than the Halo Wars Demo.

Halo Wars is a fun little game, but very shallow in comparison to the other RTS's available on 360. Seriously, try them out.

wasnt PikMan basically a RTS?tikki25x

Essentially yes.

It was labelled Nintendo's Brand of RTS.
