[QUOTE="WhoaNellie32"]I've never played a Half-Life game ever. People always talk like its one of the best games ever made. I personally find it really hard to believe its on the considered same level as Halo and Bioshock, and I say that only because that guy with the glasses just seems scrawny, nerdy, and completely un-video game-protagonist-like. In any case, can't wait to finally see what all this hype is about...cobrax25

are you serious....Half Life was a reveloutionary game.....

and if you actually playedthe game...you would have know that A....gordon freeman is a scientest B.....he never speaks in the game AT ALL C.....You never see him in the game.

that was a completly pathetic post.

Like I said, I never have played the game. I don't know a damn thing about it. In fact, when it came out I was in college, loving every minute of it, and couldn't care less about the video game world. That era in which Half Life 2 was made video gaming was completely null and void to me. I will see what it all about now when it comes out for the 360.

A pathetic post? Haha. There isn't a damn thing a person could say on system wars that would get me the least bit riled up. Ha.

This is really funny. No rumble in sixaxis: Cows owned. Sixaxis gets rumble: Cows owned.

Whether Lemmings allready have this feature or not, it doesn't matter. Sony is fixing what was wrong with the sixaxis in the first place, and Lemmings have the nerve to try and claim ownage? Pathetic. It was the same exact thing with with the HDMI in th Elite.

You're not worthy to have Michigan as your sig. Well, actually, this season I guess it can slide.

some how i doubt thatRagashahs

I have such mixed feelings about you and that other cow who has that michigan wolverines sig. I love the sox, they've been my team since forever. I love the wolverines. they've always been my favorite college football team.... Its always been my first inclination to like you and actually read what you say. I never initially remember you're a cow. As I read, I really really want to agree with what you say, but my grin slowly turns to me shaking my head in disagreement. All the while, we have a general comradery in our shared love with the south-siders...how about this,instead of waiting and waiting for good games while continuing to defend your ps3 you become a 360 fan for now. If by some miraculous turn of events the ps3 does eventually end up living up to expectations you can then become one of those ps360 dudes? I could deal with that...

You know, enough is enough is enough about this ridiculous "Halo is overrated, etc" argument. I'm so tired of it. Halo is an absolute force in video games. The sales numbers for Halo, Halo 2(, and soon-to-be Halo 3 will) show it, and above all else, the overall impact it has had and continues to have on the video game industry and for video game players ranging from hardcore to casual is clearly clearly evident. Your anti-Halo opinion may sound authoratative because of the strong passionate manner in which you convey it, but you are simply the voice of one person on one meaningless little video game forum. Want proof of Halo's validity as an all-time-great video game franchise? Want proof of its quality? Want proof that it is fun as all hell to play? Look at the pre-orders for Halo 3. Look at the sales numbers for the past two previous games. Look at the incredible impact it has made on video gamers from all spectrums- even people who turn a snobbish nose towards video games in general have a soft-spot for Halo. Better yet, look at the scores it received from every credible game site or magazine if you need blatant proof.

Damn bro...you really are irritated. :lol: This seems appropriate:

Carry on, soldier.

Well, yes, the Halo-Overrated argument is definitely becoming tiresome. But I must say, System Wars is an amazing way to warm-up your writer's mind and get my thoughts out of writers block as I am currently trying to find ways to divert my attention (yet still be productive in some capacity) and finish this ******* 20 page response paper thats due later this afternoon....ugh...

I don't know what perspecive you may individually come from. You may be some young outcast kid who finds some sort of personal salvation in video games, and the people who seem to like Halo so much alienate you because they don't seem to share the same sort of passion or expertise with games in general as you do. You may be a wily old vet in video games that has played every video game under the sun, and feel frustrated that several more deserving video games you feel were of top-notch quality should have receieved the recognition Halo is getting, but instead received little fanfare from the general public. Whatever the reason, your anger and frustration are misplaced. Halo is an amazing game, and although it may have had a lot of money behind it with publicity and marketing, etc., the general public are not a bunch of idiots. Halo genuinely provides and fulfills a general need that the majority of all video gamers desire- fun and diversion. Whether it be through playing with their friends in multiplayer or having an amazingly easy pick-up-and-play gaming experience to kill a few hours. A little more serious into video games? Halo is a great in-depth gaming experience as well. Halo does all these things, seemingly fulfilling a gaming need for a wide variety of people at a top notch quality.

I didn't need any more proof of Halo's incredible impact than what I witnessed last weekend when I visited my cousin in college. He's a freshman this year, and he happens to go to the school in which I am now an alumni. What does their entire dormitory do EVERY NIGHT for hours on end together? Play massive multiplayer battle royale matches over the the dorms internet server. I graduated three years ago. What did we do when I was a freshman in college (nearly 7 years ago)? DID THE EXACT SAME THING WITH MY WHOLE DORM. This isn't some isolated Halo loving dorm in the middle of nowhere either. Many of my friends who went to other schools had very similar experinces to this. To spell it out plainly, one game franchise has dominated the college landscape for the better part of a decade. Halo 2 is almost like what? five years old? If thats not an incredible impact on society and a testament to the potential social impact of video games I don't know what is...
