Surprise, surprise. A Halo fanboy saying Halo 3 deserves game of the year award. 🙄 🙄 I mean basically all they added since Halo 2 was forge and theater. They spent three years and millions of dollars just to be able to add two new things to Halo.

Read up the definition of awhat af anboy is before you throw it around, fool. And And Ush is right, Halo 3 added more stuff then Bioshock added.

Well, Bioshock spent much longer than that in development and didn't add a heck of a lot more.

Do you not agree that it did come out a much better game, in your opinion? Whether it added a lot more, not a lot more (Still more) or nothing more is not really the issue, I don't think so anyway.

I believe...sorry, the company name eludes me, but whoever it was, didn't spend enough to feed most African nations on that game (Bioshock), whereas people are just pointing out that Halo 3's overall $50 million budget should have been more focused on Bungie making a better game for a THIRD in the series, than getting Master Chief on Mountain Dew cans and lunchboxes.

It's the best game I've played this year...bioshock bored me. I played for about an hour and a half at my friends before I got bored. Besides your powers it was pretty lame, and you have to rely so damn much on respawn...felt to repetitive, though the first boss was pretty cool and so were the big brother's. Even though they were for the most part all the same, at least what I saw.

Whilst I don't believe you should be berated for having the personal opinion that Halo 3 is game of the year, as it's your right, you should at least play Bioshock or pay attention to a game you are dissing.

I don't like Halo, but I at least know enough to form judgement.

Your name is Spartan005, you have Master Chief all over your KMC identity, so be honest; Halo 3 was going to be game of the year to you no matter what year it was released, wasn't it? That's you opinion and you have a right to it, but don't act like you're some impartial fan who gave any other game a look in.

I dunno.. you guys are comparing a single player heavy game to a multiplayer heavy game... apples and oranges?

As I said, I played Bioshock, I could've continued but I disliked it to the point I didn't care to continue playing.

Let's see his name is Spartan 005, he has Master Chief in his Avatar and Sig, he went to a Super Mario Galaxy thread and still brought up Halo 3...you're right he's not a fanboy. 🙄 🙄

OMG you have Sonic in your signature you're OBVIOUSLY A ZUPER DUPERZ FANBOI NOOB HE NEEDS TO DIE!!!

Just because he may like Halo 3 doesn't make hima Halo 3 fanboy.

Here's a good definition of a fanboy I found online.

fanboy
1. A person who is completely loyal to a game or company reguardless of if they suck or not.
2. A pathetic insult often used by fanboys themselves to try and put down people who don't like whatever it is they like.

I am a Sonic fanboy.

And besides this is a post he made in a Super Mario Galaxy thread:

I don't go around to a Final Fantasy thread and say, "I was going to get this game but wait...I have Sonic Rush Adventure" He went to another game's topic just to try to bring up the subject of Halo 3.

Mos def. So then were do you get off criticizing people because they look like fanboys?

Let's try it again:

fanboy

1. A person who is completely loyal to a game or company regardless of if they suck or not.

People like him who, as I said, act impartial when they were only gonna call Halo 1/2/3 the best game ever regardless of when or how it was released, said so before they played it or finished it, and are dedicated to the point of taking negative comments about it personally, are fanboys.

Because (1) I'm not calling Sonic Rush Adventure the greatest game of all time when I haven't beaten it yet (2) I'm not going into threads that have nothing to do with Sonic and trying to start a topic about him (3) as much as I love Sonic I know there are better games out there and he cannot expect there are better games out there besides the Halo series.

Oh and Sonic didn't spend $50 million on Sonic Rush Adventure (sequel to Sonic Rush) just to give you the same thing with new levels. They actually offered new things to the game like the four ships which uses the touch screen to change gameplay completely where as Halo 3 still remains Halo 2.5

Last I checked he didn't start making those claims until after he had already seen dozens of in-game footage, videos, beating halo 2 and 1 multiple times. He didn't just say "Man.. I saw the demo for Halo 1 and I just knew it was going to be the best game ever!" He's formed his opinion based on what he's experienced, just like anyone else.

And you don't think that maybe he just found it aggravating that people would jump into a Halo 3 thread and then criticize others because they say it's the best thing since god? Despite the fact that this isn't a "Praise Halo 3 " thread, I also found it nonsensical to be surprised, or annoyed.

(1) I'm not calling Sonic Rush Adventure the greatest game of all time when I haven't beaten it yet

Niether is he. He's fully beaten halo 3. And why play something if you find it so horribly boring that it makes you want to quit? That makes no sense.

yet (2) I'm not going into threads that have nothing to do with Sonic and trying to start a topic about him

Niether did he. He made one comment about the game. Whoop-dee-fvcking doo.

much as I love Sonic I know there are better games out there and he cannot expect there are better games out there besides the Halo series.

This is your opinion. And we don't know that. Maybe there just hasn't been a game out there YET that tops Halo in his opinion. Having a favourite game doesn't make you a fanboy.

And yet he has yet to beat Halo 3 and is already calling it the greatest game of all time. Hey I just started Zelda: Phantom Hourglass and it is the greatest game of all time! Even though I seen demos and really haven't gone too far into it.

You don't need to beat a game to love it. If you're halfway through the first level and the little bit that you've played has so much of an impression on you that you've never enjoyed a game as fun before, that's fine. That's also true for disliking a game. He played the game for an hour and was completely bored to death so he quit. Obviously, that game just didn't appeal to him.

doesn't mean he hasn't played the hell out of it. There is Xbox live y'know unlike in your Zelda game.

Indeed. And there's more to a video game then the story mode imo.

Why do you think Game Stop and IGN wait until they beaten the game to write a review for it? Hmm...to base their opinion on the entire game and not just a section of it. Sonic Next-Gen (as bad as a game it was) had some great moments in it when Sonic is blazing through the levels and everything is a blur. Do I base the entire game on that one moment? No but the entire game. Those four moments were fun and enjoyable. The first time I played Metroid Prime I hated it and only played it for about fifteen minutes before calling it quits but once I played it for a bit longer I found Metroid Prime to be a very fun game and has since played Echoes and Corruption.

well even so my point still stands

Because it's there jobs to write detailed reviews on every little detail on the game. And unlike you, I, 005, and everyone else, there reviews have to all be facts. They have to be unbiased facts.

Sonic Next-Gen (as bad as a game it was) had some great moments in it when Sonic is blazing through the levels and everything is a blur. Do I base the entire game on that one moment? No but the entire game. Those four moments were fun and enjoyable.

And yet, you still think the game sucked, so those 4 parts (AKA., the minority) were irrelevant when it came to your decision.

The first time I played Metroid Prime I hated it and only played it for about fifteen minutes before calling it quits but once I played it for a bit longer I found Metroid Prime to be a very fun game and has since played Echoes and Corruption.

Good for you, but again that's just your circumstance. Some pople don't feel that it's worth playing a game and being bored for half of it ,in the hopes that the second half will be different.

What unbiased fact has you are 005 said? Bungie has spent $50 million to make Halo 2.5. The game offers nothing new that Halo 2 hasn't already established or anything another game has alreayd introduced expect for forge which is a dumbed down version of create a map which many games actually have and theater which again many games allow you to record matches like Battle for Middle-Earth I and II.

When it comes down to it the graphics aren't even top notch, they basically threw in the same crap that has appeared in many other games, they throw Master Chief on a Mountain Dew can, the story can't even stand to other games out there, and the gameplay is excatly the same as Halo: Combat Evolved. Congrats you spent $60 for Halo, $60 for Halo 2, and $60 (or maybe $120) for Halo 3. You just gave $180 for the same game.

Halo 3 is nonetheless fun, dammit! 😠
