whoever says zombies are played out gets the motherfucking sharpened toothbrush handle shank to their kidney

[HeartbreakRidge]

I'm interested in DR2, but I'm still a little dubious about the multiplayer part of it.

Where is the big Fable III announcement that is going to make us hate Peter Whatshisname (more than we already hate him for screwing up pretty much everything he has ever touched)???

[Evil Avatar]

Anyone else pick up on the Dead Rising: Case Zero bit? It is another example where they are going to cut content out of the game and then charge you for it. Instead of Day 1 DLC, it is Day Zero DLC.

[derm]

Maybe, but they don't say if they are charging for it.
Could just the equivilent of a demo but with exculsive content.

I really really think this is just another moly-ism. Remember the Fable 2 tagline? Moly will make ya feel sad? Well the new emotion he is going for is anger; Fable 3 will make you mad! Fable SMASH! Tell him to send out a press release about Fable 4 which will make your wife Randy! I promise to buy 20 copies if it works!

[Dag-Sabot]

The only thing ill be reaching for is the beach.

[Venkman]

Lost Planet 2 looks fucking fierce. That RE5 engine is wonderful. Splitscreen co-op, 4 player online co-op, crazy armies and giant bugs right out of a Miyazaki movie.... mmmmm. Delicious.

Kind of related thought:

I tried to play Halo 3 last week and couldn't make it through a whole match. After clocking 3 days play time in MW2, Halo 3 feels clunky.

I think I was playing with him. It was just awful.

[Frogleg Special]

Meh, meh, meh

LOL, it's so stupid. "Buy ODST if you want the beta!"

I remember that once Halo 3 told me I needed to buy the newest map pack to play ranked playlists was when I gave the finger to Bungie.

Halo multi is just terrible. It has been for years. Its really all about the campaign coop. That is why I am excited for Reach.

While I am quite an anti-Halo person, I really don't think the multiplayer is any worse than the game itself. It may be inconsistent, but Halo impresses people with what it did from a variety standpoint, not to how it actually translated to gameplay, where it is indeed clunky and twitchy. But it can be fun sometimes, nevertheless.

Meanwhile, it's beyond me how anyone can stand Halo's campaigns. I've never actually not had a bit of fun on a campaign; Halo's campaigns are easily some of the most boring experiences I've ever had in my days of gaming. Co-op really doesn't make it any better for me. But to each his own, I guess.

You really seem to turn up in every Halo related thread to vent your discontent with the games. Do you want others to enlighten you about why you can't have fun with the games? Or to have others reaffirm your opinion so you can sleep at night?

The poster I quoted stated his discontent with Halo; I did the same thing, as WELL as debating his point a tad. If you don't like it, ignore my posts. *Shrugs*
