Too Much SHOTGUN.

SHENMUE!!!


I wish everyone knew the beauty of that game.

Gears of War 2 online. Gotta love the rushing and fast paced style of gameplay in gears multiplyer! (as opposed to camping in other shooters)

Well I would say Battlefield BC2 has a lot of camping (so does black ops), so if you like that I guess it qould be good to buy. I personally like games in which rushing is more prevalent, like in Gears of War 1/2.

Page 2 of this thread cracked me the **** up.

I agree, Halo Reach's story was very dissapointing to say the least.

They're alright. I personally think the game's graphics are overated (IGN gave the graphics a 9.5, meanwhile a game like Castlevania: Lords of Shadows got an 8.5 in graphics, even though it looked muched better).

[QUOTE="fascargora"]1. Have you played any PC shooters before Halo? 2. Have you played GoldenEye 007, Perfect Dark, and TimeSplitters before Halo? (Basically console shooters that are actually good) 3. Are you not easily stooped by marketing hype? 4. Played RPG/FPS hybrids like System Shock 2 or Deus Ex? 5. Played a lot of PC strategy and role-playing games? 6. Hate Michael Bay movies and have artistic taste in movies? 7. Are you well educated? 8. Read any books other than the godawful Halo novels? 9. Played any LucasArts adventure games? 10. Do you have high standards and good taste in video games? I doubt any Halo fans fit into any of these categories, if they did, then they wouldn't be Halo fans. I fit into all of these categories, and I'm not a Halo fan, I'm a Valve fan.Jebus213

You need to understand people on the Gamespot forums have a backwards way of thinking. Only place I know where people give hype to overrated garbage arcade games like Reach and Mw2. They also act like the average "follow the leader" consumer. I think its pretty sad. Even the PC gamers are kinda sad on this forum.

75% of "these people" base quality of games on sales......Witch almost means nothing besides the publisher doing a great job at advertising. Also paying review sites like Gamespot and IGN. "Really???? Mw2 got a 9.0 in graphics????"

Well I beat Halo Reach in 5 hours and 30 minutes (it sucked), and the multiplayer maps were the worst Bungie has ever offered, but I still didn't regret buying it simply because I've bought and played every Halo since its release. So even if Vanquish is 4 hours, it's really good, and you shouldn't feel like you wasted money even if it's short.
