Title: Sick of Halo
Post by: IceBladeX on August 25, 2004, 10:10:34 PM
My freinds and I have been playing system link Halo since it came out and yesterday I finally said no more. Not until Halo 2. I can not play another game of Halo or my head will explode. My freinds dont have good PC's, so that discounts the PC version. Shame, that one has some great stuff to kill the sameness.

Anyone else having this problem?

Thats funny becase i got sick of Halo about 2 months after getting it. But i never got to play it multiplayer so at least you got tons of gane play out of it.

I'm not having that problem with Halo, but I am with Super Smash Bros. Melee.  My friends and I have well over 1000 hours on that game and I just don't want to play it anymore.  Of course that could be because no one can handle the force that is Jigglypuff.

I'm not having that problem with Halo at all.  I got bored with it after about a half hour, but maybe I should give it another try on PC (I've only played the X-Box version in multiplayer).  I do, however, have that problem with Warcraft III tower defense levels.  They're a lot of fun, but I've played so many games of it at LANs with my friends that I just can't stand it anymore.  It's kind of like listening to Michael Bolton records, only I'm sick of Warcraft after the 9 billionth time, and not the first.

Ah.. War Craft 3 is great.. Then again I havent played it TOO much yet.
War Craft 2 got kind of tired after 2 years. Especially when you know you're
opponent so well, and he knows you, that you're matches last for a literal 8 straight hours.

I got fed up with XBox Halo when I played through it for first time. After you get the past the "Ooooooh pretty" factor, it becomes repetetive. I almost threw the controller out of the window during the Monitor mission.

Multiplayer extended the appeal but even that reached it's limit a few weeks ago.

Halo is up there now with my list of "overrated games" along with Splinter Cell and soccer games.

It looks like I might have to start playing Halo alot more.  A bowling alley by my house is having a Halo tournament.  I think I might get a team together to storm through the competition.

Best of luck. Is there some sort of prize?


Title: Re: Sick of Halo
Post by: Sauza12 on September 27, 2004, 12:35:08 PM
There is a cash prize for the top three teams and top three individuals, but I'm not sure how much.  I just saw a flyer for it on my lunch break.

Cash is cash for just playing a game. Which is something you like to do anyways...i should hope.

Naw, video games suck.  I buy so nobody else will have to play them either.   |D

I couldn't agree more, especially when it comes to Splinter Cell.  That game has AMAZING lighting effects, and great graphics all around, but I hate it.  It's just not fun.  There are way too many buttons (on PC anyway) and playing it is more of a chore than a good time.  I don't understand the obsession with this game at all.

I actually had a lot of fun playing Splinter Cell personally. I really liked how it rewared you for patience and being very meticulous.

Speaking of overrated games though. I dont really see the appeal of the newer Mortal Kombat games(sorry, Izret) I agree they're fairly well done, but I cant really see why its so big when there are much better fighting games out there. (then again, I've been playing Street Fighter 3 since the Dreamcast)

Oh and why the hell does Sub-Zero now look like The Shredder from Ninja Turtles?

You mean like this?

Yes, exactly. Look at him, hes thinking about dining on turtle soup tonight. Muhahahaha!

He really does look like shredder.

Shredder would be awesome if it wasnt for his bright purple tights.  Subzero has been and is still awesome.  I like MK for its characters and story more than that fighting, Marvel vs. Capcom 2  and Virtua Fighter are a little better fighting-wise, but less plot.


Title: Re: Sick of Halo
Post by: Izret101 on September 30, 2004, 05:38:14 PM
Virtua Fighter 4 was sooo overrated. But isnt this about Halo?
I think Halo 2 si going to be good at first but then everything that makes it good will be vopied better in another game months later.(Doesnt this always happen?)

Sorta. there still wasnt a better FPS on consoles than the first Halo, it just got tiring for me.
Its like all those GTA clones. The only one I recall enoying was the Simpsons Hit and Run game. True Crime was such a piece of shit.

Post by: Izret101 on October 03, 2004, 06:27:15 PM
BEST FPS ever was and is GoldenEye.

Oh man. Come on. Do you enjoy holding the R button just so you can aim?


Title: Re: Sick of Halo
Post by: Izret101 on October 03, 2004, 07:09:53 PM
I repeat best FPS ever.
Complex level I will beat anyone. I could make shots that defied logic. I havent played it much in the last few months. I should get Dan over here to kick his ass. How about it Dan?


Title: Re: Sick of Halo
Post by: danvx6 on October 03, 2004, 09:10:30 PM
I'm up for a game. Its been like 3 years since we played last. Complex is THE level.  This game is the only thing N64 was really good for besides a paperweight. or a doorstop. or maybe a toaster with the expansion pack.  It was NOT a fun machine. damn box lies.

Post by: IceBladeX on October 03, 2004, 10:16:38 PM
Christ, I mean... have you played Quake 2 or the original .UT on the PC?
There was actually a mod for UT that made it into a quasi-Goldeneye, with all the weapons and levels, except you know, you could actually shoot them and see the screen.


Title: Re: Sick of Halo
Post by: Lord Nepenthean on October 03, 2004, 10:24:52 PM
You have any idea what the name of that mod was?  I'd be interested very interested in trying that out if it's still available anywhere.


Title: Re: Sick of Halo
Post by: IceBladeX on October 03, 2004, 10:34:15 PM
I believe it was called AgentX.
I know its Agent something but I'm pretty sure that it was Agent X.

Found it.  I'll try to install this later this week and give it a whirl.  If anyone else is interested, the site is linked below, but it doesn't have much in the way of info.  It's discontinued, btw.  It doesn't say when that happened, but the forums seem to have been dead for at least a year or two, maybe longer.
