Dear Halo haters

lmao, this is really a pathetic attempt at a thread.  Lost Tears & Alexie have found a great way to show just how big of a Halo fanboy they are.  Notice how ANYONE who doesn't agree....yup their a "hater", anyone who doesn't think halo is the second coming of christ? well apparently they are just "haters" too.

What you pompous jerks haven't figured out is that not everyone loves the twitch Run'N'Gun gameplay of Halo.  And this riddlin junkie who you wheeled out to make your case can barely stop himself from talking long enough to suck his lungs full of air, despite needing it to prolong his assault on our ears, is proof of the kind of moron being a fanboy can delude you into agree with.  Really how pathetic is it that you are so keen on defending a game you would drag out this douchebag? And even worse is that the whole point was to tell people you disagree with by saying they should "shove their cock in their mouth".  Because thats all this was! Your attempt at insulting people without getting banned for it.  

But I'm sure now that I disagree with your approach here, I'm just another hater right?  Ironically despite my extreme loathing of this kind of blind fanyboy stupidity I actually enjoy the occasional Halo Multiplayer match or 2.  And I think Halo is a pretty good example of how to do a shooter on a console.   But its this kind of person who feels it necessary to insult folks to make his points that ruins those online matches by sounding like a 12 year old with turrets.

Why don't you guys take off your brown-hats and smell the fresh outdoors where people don't insult others just because they don't like the same things with the same ferocious devotion as a religion.  And while you're at it, maybe pick up another hobby...or two? Preferably something not involving a gun.

 

This post pretty much sums up my feeling as well.

Working in retail I interact with people who purchase games quite frequently, when asked how then enjoyed the game, I get a few people who call it "phenomal" and a few who call it "garbage", and the majority of which are in the lukewarm catagory of "meh" to "pretty good." Most of these guys are average Joe's, the people who don't sit and spend hours on message boards (like many of us do). AKA the meat and potatoes of the videogame world. People who think that Halo 3 is gods gift to gaming or the most overhyped piece of garbage in existance are in the extreme minority. 

If you asked 100, 000 regular joe gamers to play Halo 3 and Resistance for the first time, for an equal ammount of time and asked them which one they liked better, I garantee you will get a very close 50/50 split.

Now I'm not big of FPS's, so for me to really like one it has to be exceptional.  I'm talking about Doom, Half Life or Goldeneye Calibur.  I  liked the origional Halo, it was innovative (from a console standpoint), had a good story, and fun multiplayer.  The second and third installments had the same feel as the origional, are nowhere close to "epic".  But consistancy or famularity from game to game does not constitue awsomeness.  The term "Epic" in my opinion does not deserve to be mentioned in such a short game.  The multiplayer is good, as long as you stick with playing with your friends.  However in most matchmaking games I've played, I've been stuck with as Yatzee puts it "a bunch of hooting dickholes".

 Alas the time I spent typing this post, is time I could have been doing what real gamers do, playing videogames.  And that saddens me.
