I know, right? Sure, I never played Quake 4, but from what I can tell it looks fun.
Now how do I know Halo 3 is boring? I actually played it for like 5 hours with my friend, heres a chart of my progression.
0:00 - 1:00
" Wow, this game is actually real fun! Sure, a bit overrated, but still awesome! "
1:00 - 2:00
" Still good, but the split-screen is starting to get annoying and the vehicles aren't that great, and why is it that I can beat my friend even though he's been playing it a lot longer? "
2:00 - 3:00
" Ok, this isn't interesting, all I have to do to heal is wait a while and shoot when he comes close, I'm beating him! This game is very overrated "
3:00 - 5:00
" Ok, this game is easy and boring as hell. This game is the most freaking overrated game in the history of mankind! To think that some people bought a xbox just for this game is baffling! F**KING COKE BOTTLES!? BURGER KING AND MOUNTAIN DEW MAKE F**KING COKE BOTTLES OF THIS GAME!!? ( Here, it's atcully true: http://www.digitalbattle.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/mk-al308_halo_20070808191741.jpghttp://farm2.static.flickr.com/1121/1437707291_7fb8e09100.jpg ) IF HALO DESERVES A COKE BOTTLE, THAN RESISTANCE FALL OF MAN AND MGS4 SHOULD TOO! ( continues rant for another 30 minutes )
Yea.....you can see how me and halo aren't the best of friends.....
It's a hopeless cause, Joe, the beast has too many slaves to handle, some of them are at high ranks in the system......
FIGHT THE POWER!

He's right Joe.
I felt the same way about the Final Fantasy VII slaves. In fact, I tried to challenge them at one time. Before I knew it, I was up to my elbows in rabid fanboys. But the ironic thing is, I was once one myself...
So yes, it is a lost cause, for there's too many to handle. Just ignore them, and pretend that the overhyped game and its blind followers don't exist. That's the way I deal with it...
^ I was partially joking, but I still can't find any reason why anyone would buy and xbox or burger king and moutain dew to make coke/fries covers just for some mediocre at best game.
^ Yea true, the Xbox has alot of good RPGs, and for some odd reason the PS3 doesn't have any real good exclusive RPGs.....
Oh wait, there's FFVSXII, made from the guy who made kingdom hearts.

Buying an Xbox is pretty pointless for just Halo. If someone is going to buy a system, it shouldn't only be for one game.
I am trying my hardest to not sound like a fanboy, but why does everyone not like FF7, I found it to be the best one.Aerosite
It's not that I hate it. In fact, I once thought that it was the best game ever, and still like it. Like most people, I just hate the fanboys who worship it to be "the best game ever" and overhype it by saying things like nothing will match up to the "awesomeness" of Final Fantasy VII.

Thank you!
Seriously, anyone who buys a system just for one or two games, is most likely going to complain that the system offers nothing else that is great or beg for others to recommend them some "good" games. That's why you should never buy a system just for the overhyped stuff. Instead, researching what all it has to offer is the best thing to do.
Honestly, I would probably get a PS3 because of Gran Turismo 5, which is exclusive to the Sony brand, and Tekken 6 (even though its gonna be on both systems)
Damn, compared to all these other games, the Wii seems to be extremely crappy, eh?SOADjoe19
Stick with what you know and trust. That's what I would normally do.
The Wii does have a questionable selection of games, but there are some fun ones. Although, those games are not as common as they are for the other consoles. Nintendo wants to appeal more to the casual gamers, and not to the real ones like us.
So they are gradually losing my loyalty...
Most of the people who have the Wii are kids, or seniors. (Some use it for exersize now. :lol: ) bd0g5
I think those people need to be smacked for using a gaming console as their source of exercise...
Go out and run, or take a trip to the Gym if exercise is what you want. That's what I would tell them after administering the wake up call...
I've got bad news for you, Joe. I think i saw somewhere that GT 5 isn't coming until late 2010 or 2011.bd0g5

Oh boy...this seems like the perfect time to post my favorite video of wii fit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_iYBmAVuBns
But yeah there are fun games to play for the wii. Check out the "Argh..." topic to find my list of my favorite non-nintendo games so far (I don't have to many games right now for the wii).
The Legend of Spyro A New Beginning, The Legend of Spyro The Eternal Night, and Spryo Enter the Dragonfly
The Legend of Spyro A New Beginning, The Legend of Spyro The Eternal Night, and Spryo Enter the Dragonfly
MissKittyKat21
Hello there. It's been some time since someone else joined us. Nice to meet you, MissKittyKat21. ;)
I'm sure you plan on getting The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon, right? It's the sequel to The Eternal Night and the last game in the Legend of Spyro trilogy.
I hope you're going to be active here. :)Some people only post in one or 2 topics when they go to new unions, though. :?bd0g5
WHAA!? That's not right. They should just stick with one. I suppose they're probably just advertising something like YouTube vids or a review they wrote. But really, they should stick with USU, cuz we have what feels like a more controlled amount of activity here. No insane 5-pages-of-new-messages board like those popular ones! :P
Cool, MKK21, you got a collection going there! ;) Which series do you like more anyway? The original or the Legend series?SOADjoe19
At this point I like the Legend of Spyro series better...but who knows what I will like after I get some other Spyro games.
Actually I think this is the Union I am most active in...I think it has something to do with it having fewer members and I know that if I have a question or an issue that it will actually be seen instead of slipping to page 20 of posted topics because there are too many members. I try to get on here every day but sometimes I can't.MissKittyKat21
Sweet, I can add Dawn of the Dragon to my list now. :)
It's good so far, but I've only done the first level. I'm in Co-op mode, and only my brother is getting achievements. That's ok though, I'm going to beat it in Solo soon.
bd0g5
You're lucky to be able to play it with your brother. The Buddy System achievement is the last one I need to master this game. It looks like I won't be getting it anytime soon...

As always, Joe took the words right out of my mouth. :)
I'm happy to use GameSpot just for this union. Otherwise, I wouldn't have any reason to be on this site...
We can still get a few more members, if we try advertising at the DotD board. We should make a topic soon.bd0g5
Just be careful about the whole advertising thing. You know what happened before on another Spyro board...
I know an easy and safe way to advertise the USU. Why not try putting the link to this place in your sig on GameFAQs?
That reminds me, some of us need to change our sigs on GameFAQs, since Dawn of the Dragon has already been released. You know who you are... ;)
But when you think of it, we have THE ONLY Spyro dedicated Union in GameSpot! Thats an amazing feat, and also that we were able to pull it off in such a great way that makes us one of the best perhaps friendliest unions out there.
Also, I want to look into trying to get more achievement points for the Union and to grow it a bit more in accordance with the Gamer Level on the USU's main screen.
It's gonna take some time, but I want some conpensation for this place!!! SOADjoe19
I'm almost speechless after reading the first quoted paragraph, but I need to say something.
Don't bother with the union level. I can already tell you GameSpot stopped leveling the unions long ago. See here for the reason and confirmation.
But, it doesn't matter anyway. You said it yourself that we already have the evidence of our efforts in our topics and on the homepage. We can prove how determined we are to keep the union growing even more by the amount of posts we have made and by the time we take to find all the updates and information for anything Spyro related. You have personally shown us how active we are.
Knowing this, we don't need GS's broken level system to prove how strong of a union we are. Everything is right before us, and that's all that is needed.
