[QUOTE="playstation2004"]

Apparently, this was from a newspaper. Here's a couple of spoilers.

ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK

[spoiler] Hedwig(Harrys Owl) Dies, Dobey the house servent dies, Fred Weasley Dies, Harry dies but comes back too life, Voldermort takes over the ministry of magic and the newspaper system, Voldermort kills Snape, Snape is in love with Harry's mom, Harry is married to Ginny with 3 children, Ron and Hermonie get married too. [/spoiler]

markop2003

just added the spoler things just incase i counts as one

[spoiler] i'm not going to believe all of that story, one of the spoilers i read which actually had pictures of the quotes taken from the book, in that one basically everyone died including ron and herminieoh and most of the order died too, but with all these spoilers contridicting each other all i can say is that alot of people are going to die (which isn't really a spoiler cuase we all knew it already) [/spoiler]

Just to clarify, Markop got that all stunningly wrong. I finished it about 3 hours ago after about 8 hours reading (I got it at 8 in the morning and didn't stop apart from for lunch and breakfast). It's a very good end to the series, although I'd have liked to have learnt a bit more about what happened to a lot of the minor surviving characters in the series. Perhaps... [spoiler] they could have ended with a chapter from Harry's point of view, detailing what became of the characters you never saw again i.e. the Dursleys, who weren't mentioned after several chapters in, Umbridge, the Weasleys (Percy especially), the remaining death eaters etc. Overl, I don't think that it was the best in the series, because I found that there was too much action all of the way through, and it could have been better paced; the ambles in the forests in the middle last for too long, and too many parts of the plot were quickly dashed through. Look at the ending; the penultimate chapter didn't exactly dwell long on the victory. It should have been built up a bit, but beyond that it was a fantastic read. The Ron-Hermione relationship wasn't used enough either. [/spoiler]

You're so lucky... here in Britain the premium package is the equivalent of $550. How I hope for a price cut... then I'll get one.

Well, I don't know if it was fake but the video showing off the weapons. Same old weapons once again, and we already no how there going to shoot and everything...nvm...anyway all I want Bungie to do is make it where you can change to burst to 1 shot with the BR, and some cool looking melees in such as the previous videos before Halo 2 came out, I dont know if you rememeber that, but also this wont happen probably but just think of this...Your fighting a brute or something and you get up close to melee it and he dodges it and jumps on you....your on the ground pressing button combinations to get him off and then bam! for the finishing move you put a sticky on him, kick him off and get the heck out of the way....now that would be so sweet to have just for like new innovation stuff.....cmon sounds cool doesn't it???imakillaholic
Not really. It sounds like a beat 'em up. It would be very hard to implement considering that you already use most of the buttons for shooting, reloading etc... a slightly more deep melee system would be nice, i.e. different moves depending on where you are aiming and which direction the thumbstick is pointing in, but any more than that and it become too complex.

The thumbstick isn't stuck, it's a wirde controller, I don't want to get a new one because I'm cheap, and I do leave my controllers face down, so that might be a reason... ...suing Microsoft though... you know what, that might be an idea... ;)

Before I say more, I'd better first say that I was playing on Halo 2 with this controller. And here's what was wrong... The right thumbstick appears to have gone internally wrong, because my character spins round in a circle all the time (to the right; in other words; clockwise), yet when I shoot, my character looks slightly to the left. Does anyone know why this is happening, because I found myself losing the game, and I don't want it to carry on... I ran out of ammo a bit too quickly.

HALO 1 and 2 are the worst games i have ever played. they suck sooooooo much. the AI= terrible, the weapons= imbalanced and it is a sparyers delight. IT IS THE WORST GAME EVER. people, buy something good like, Drake of the 99 Dragons or Kabuki Warriors.

That is a purposeful parody, isn't it? Anyway, Die Hard: Vendetta is pretty dire, but isn't not really bad, it's just that nothing is done at all well. Harry Potter: Quidditch World Cup comes close too, simply because, although it's otherwise fairly competent, it is quite stuningly easy, and hence (due to the nature of the game) also incredibly monotonous. Circus Maximus is the simply awful, and I can't remember why, because it went back to the shop the next day!

[QUOTE="xboxgamefx"][QUOTE="TunaFish1982"]ive noticed that xbox is full of incredibly short games. ive read a ton of reviews for many different games and shortness is always a factor in xbox games. even their RPG games are super short. i just picked up chronicles of riddick and i havent even played it yet but i read the review just now and found out that its an incredibly short game. when i had a playstation and a playstation 2, i didnt have too many games but the games i did have were all 60+ hours long. they were mostly RPG games though. i started playing xbox games and tried out all their RPG games like fable, jade empire, star wars KOTOR 2, and morrowind. ill be the first to admit that jade empire, KOTOR 2, and fable were absolute garbage. i dont know how in the world those games get such high ratings by everyone but they were among the worst RPG games ive ever played. i take it that most xbox owners havent played a truely great RPG like the ones that can be found on sony systems because when you played sony RPG games for so long, then you switch to xbox RPG games, the difference in quality is huge.. fable, i couldnt even get into. played it maybe 2 hours. jade empire i nearly beat but quit playing because it was boring and generic, KOTOR 2 was absolute **** one of the worst games ive ever played. morrowind on the other hand, is an excellant game although i have grown tired of it at the moment. TunaFish1982


U actually thought KOTOR and morrowind were bad games?? idk about jade empire but I heard that it was overrated.....especially IGN giving it 9.9

no, i actually thought morrowind was great. its completely mind boggling that people give the other RPG games i listed such high ratings. i fell for all the hype on these games expecting masterpeices, instead they turned out to be absolute garbage. boring story lines, boring fighting, too short, and just plain generic is the only way i can explain these games. if jade empire got a 9.9 at IGN the new final fantasy game should be off the charts with their score. personally, games like jade empire, fable, KOTOR 2 a D and C level games to me personally. nothing about these games are truely mind blowing the way some games on sony are.

Games like Jade Empire, Fable and Star Wars: KOTOR can hardly be considered 'absolute garbage' or 'plain generic'; they are among th more critically acclaimed games on the xbox. So Fable's storyline lacks any real twists and turns, and it is a bit short, but you can hardly say the same for Star Wars: KOTOR and Jade Empire. KOTOR had a brilliant twist mid-way through, that was a complete surprise to most people. None of the games are mind-blowing, but what they are is solid, fairly well-made and well-thought out RPGs that should be recommended to most people looking to buy a decen RPG on the xbox.

Gun could easily be completed by someone good at shooters within about 3 hours. With side-missions, maybe 6.
