Pfft, Halo's story was solid enough for me to buy it for that alone and be satisfied.

lol @ people who think Halo Wars will flop, it wont do Halo 3 type numbers, but it will do good. Its got Halo, and RTSs are becoming more popular on consoles. Even if it did, why would M$ be in need of money?

Microsoft maybe wouldn't, but if sales aren't as successful as they hope, Bungie may be in need of money. I say that they go back to the Marathon games. They were better.

I was referring to Bungie.

Microsoft and Bungie are no longer one and the same. Different companies now.

Havoc beat me to it.

This also is true.

And since Ensemble Studios are failing anyway, it can afford to be awful.

We call this Star Fox Adventures syndrome.

Strike Witch 12-31-2008 06:38 PM

I miss good Starfox games.

What about them shark-tooth necklaces, eh? I heard tell that them are fucking boss.


I used to have one, but the fucker sawwed through a good portion of my neck when I got punched in the throat.

Oh, and Ghost, I've got Project64 on my laptop, so I play Starfox 64 whenever I want. :3

Do a barrel roll!!

OANST 01-02-2009 06:23 AM

Do it now!



And kill Slippy for me. He deserves it.

mitsur 01-02-2009 04:35 PM

I dunno. Without shields analyzed it always seems to take longer to kill the boss. I don't know why, but it just happens that way.

I always felt the problem with 360 is that a bunch of their best exclusives are also available on PC for less money! Personally I like the experience of playing on a console better these days, but I'm sure plenty of people have passed on 360 just because they can pick up Mass Effect or Gears on PC.

I think Microsoft is just trying to keep Halo 3 an exclusive on 360 because it still sells. Once it becomes a platinum hit or whatever it'll probably be ported to the PC, I hope so I enjoyed Halo 1 and 2.

Havoc 01-14-2009 04:09 AM

Some games just play better on a console. Racers for instance are primarily made for consoles these days and have absolute shit controls on the PC because a keyboard doesn't have an axis. It's just hard left or hard right which makes you slam into the side rail every second.

Shooters however should stay primarily PC games unless the games are exclusively designed for consoles like Gears of War 1 & 2.

Leto 01-14-2009 10:09 AM

Left 4 Dead, Timesplitters, Halo etc are all shooters on consoles I've thoroughly enjoyed. I'd hate to use a mouse for them.okay except maybe l4d

Hobo 01-14-2009 01:13 PM

Agreed with Leto entirely.

I miss Timesplitters...

mudling 01-14-2009 02:13 PM

Firstly, yes, it will be released eventually, but in so long a time that everyone will forget about it, including you.
Secondly, do yourself a favour and buy an xbox, it means you'll have less time to be given neg rep here.
And what the above said, I prefer shooters and action games (Like say, Fable) on the consoles.

Hazel-Rah 01-14-2009 03:55 PM

The PC offers the best gaming experience possible as well, if you ever see comparison screen shots of games that are also available on 360 or PS3 the difference is staggering PC games are always so much brighter.

You obviously haven't tried playing games on my pc. If you had, I would know. It's in my house. In my bedroom. Where I have naked time.

But that's cuz people put money into it to make it better.

360 is cheaper and things are always at one level. that's why people buy consoles, so they don't have to jam in a new graphics card to make work every new game wave.

Hazel rah and oddjob abe r u guys fucking pricks? this is about helo 3 on pc not about who needs whatever!

I wonder why you have a red sqaure.

On topic: Microsoft puts all it's popular games on Pc (eg. Halo1,2 San andreas) and (weirdley enough) halo 3 is popular.
