From what I've heard of Halo 4's story from Strike Witch, it sounds awful and cliche as fuck.

Mac Sirloin · #**362** 11-08-2012, 09:15 AM

ODST is still my favourite. It had a great atmosphere and the little tweaks (night vision, health packs) made it the ideal Halo game for my taste. I actually felt immersed in the universe whereas before it was just 'You're a walking tank with infinite lives uh oh aliens W+M1'.
ODST, Halo 2+Halo 3, CE, Reach.

I loved the map builder in reach, though. Hopefully Forge makes a return.

I've been playing some Doom. Nothing beats Doom.

Monster Hunter Tri is a very different...monster compared to Freedom Unite and Poirtable 3rd (which is a port of Tri). Both of those are for the PSP and start you out with one of every type of weapon (the weakest starting weapons possible) and immediately throw you into the 'choose a mission' mechanic. Not so with Tri. in Tri, you start out with one extremely weak sword and spend a good 3 hours doing bullshit that doesn't let you improve it. The box implies that you can 'start out however you want, experienced or not' but that is an outright lie. No matter what you have to do a lot of tedious non-monster hunting things. The farm fucking blows ass in this version, too. Gone are the days where you could plant crops, go on a mission, get 8-10 more of those crops upon completing the mission rinse and repeat. Now you can only plant one area of the farm at a time and completing a mission yields 1-3 items with MAYBE one of them being a clone of your original crop. It's frustrating, slow, boring, tedious, uninteresting, unfulfilling and just fucking bizarre given the amazing structure that the PSP games seem to have.

In summary Capcom blows.

This is the worst Halo power rankings list I have ever seen.

You’re the worst Halo power ranking list I’ve ever seen.

There’s a few things I love about the Halo series that very few games in the FPS genre bother with.

The world—the backstory, the environments, the mystery, the various species and their histories—feels much more interesting than most others’ (especially since most are set in “faux middle-east” land); the physics feels meaty and yet fun and free; the tone of the game and is morose and melancholy and the accompanying soundtrack only adds to the feeling. The whole package feels both more fun and more intriguing than most other FPSes.

You are such a sourpuss.

I just think they're great multiplayer games. Other than that, bleh.

I really do, though. I thought all of those things were terrible.

Hazel-Rah · #**368** 11-08-2012, 02:58 PM

I love Halo 4! The weapons are so punchy and satisfying to use and the Prometheans are fun as hell to kill. I love having to take out the Watchers before the Knights and Crawlers, it makes the combat feel frantic and challenging.

I do hope they expand on the Prometheans in future games though. I don't think they're as versatile as the Covenant as an antagonist, their weapons are fun as fuck but they don't have any vehicles to add to the sandbox.

Halo 2 is still my favorite and always will be.

Mr. Bungle · #**369** 11-08-2012, 03:56 PM

Halo 2 was great because OMG DUAL WIELDING. I thought the campaign was pretty fun too.

***Nate*** · #**370** 11-08-2012, 10:28 PM

Can someone please go make a Halo 4 thread? I would split the posts off from this thread, but there are just a few too many in which people discussed both Halo and other games and it's too much effort to split everything cleanly apart.

Steamer_KING · #**371** 11-10-2012, 06:40 AM

Hitman: Absolution, has anyone played that yet? The sniper challenge and whatnot...

Mac Sirloin · #**372** 11-10-2012, 10:37 AM

I'm playing Doom 3 on my PC. It can get scary when you've been playing it for awhile in the dark with headphones on. Other than that it's kind of boring. I never noticed how terrible some of the voice acting was before.

Mr. Bungle · #**373** 11-11-2012, 11:38 AM

I was playing Skyrim with my bud yesterday. Started a Khajiit. Their claws fucking decimate bitches. Love being a thieving little cat.

MeechMunchie · #**374** 11-11-2012, 11:55 AM

Finished (to the credits, and I don't really feel like carrying on right now) Pokémon White. Team:

That's the best Pokémon game I've ever played. Out of, y'know, all two of them.

Wings of Fire · #**375** 11-11-2012, 11:58 AM

N is so hnnngh

MeechMunchie · #**376** 11-11-2012, 12:32 PM

Arousing?

Wings of Fire · #**377** 11-11-2012, 02:19 PM

I wouldn't say arousing. Well, kinda but more adorable.

I loved how massively awkward the ferris wheel scene was. I always play as a girl, so it looked like he was clumsily coming on to me.

Attempting a Dark Souls playthrough as a Thief without changing weapons and armour, and not leveling up or converting to human form or kindling bonfires.

Currently on the Bell Gargoyles, they pretty much one-hit me. It's pretty hard.

Still no word on when I'm getting my PC back from The Guy, so I busted out The Binding of Isaac on my Mac. I just finished my second mom kill in The Womb. I was a bit worried about only having one heart left from devil deals, but Brimstone, Dead Cat and Brother Bobby are really worth it.

By the end I had 'lil Steven, Cube of Meat x2, Brother Bobby, Dead Cat and Forever Alone following me around. It was really hard to see what was going on. I also had lots of money and keys because I had Sperlunky.

Mom dropped really easily, though. Brimstone just destroyed anything she summoned instantly. I didn't take a hit, but I didn't get Sheol. Is it even possible with only one kill?

I think I prefer Cain's speed and Luck Foot to Judas' power and the Book of Belial. Being able to guarantee bonuses from pills is almost justification enough.

I'm wanting Wrath of the Lamb now.

Ridg3 · #**383** 11-12-2012, 12:25 AM

Because of all the talk of GTA:SA I've started playing that again. Love that game, seriously, and I'm playing it with cheats because everyone knows that that's the best way to have fun in it. Floating cars is pretty hilarious, I spent half my time slightly bumping into police, trash trucks and tanks to watch them float away ever so nicely.

Looking to get a controller for the PC sometimes at the end of the month so I can get ripped into Dark Souls and get stuck into the DLC. Can't wait to see what horrors lurk in Ye Olde Darkroot basin, that is, if I'm up to scratch to kill the Sanctuary Guardian. I'm prepared to die and I'm prepared to take out any motherfucker who happens to be around me whenever I die for the 567200th time.

So I'm not the only one.

The cheats really do make the game more enjoyable; I love the flying cars cheat, It makes it so much easier to navigate through the game without having to spawn in a Hydro or a Helicopter. Plus a flying car is pretty funny, I used to fly around in a taxi pretending to be in Fifth Element.

Mr. Bungle · #**385** 11-12-2012, 07:22 AM

Got my xbox back from my cousin last night. Finally gonna play Stranger's Wrath whenever I get off my ass and set it up.

Ohh man, do I love cheating in SA. I mean, I love playing the story, but the cheats are simply where its at. My friend and I would spent so much time just fucking around with flying cars, planes and trains. God I miss that games sometimes.

Do you have a Dualshock 3? Or any PS2 controller with USB?

Well shit, I had a crack at SA over the weekend as well! My first time really playing it despite having it on Steam since forever.

I also started playing the first Mass Effect yesterday, too. I dunno if I’m approaching it wrong or something though because nothing has yet managed to endear me to it at all. Gonna take another shot at it soon but I’m just not feeling it.

Nepsotic · #**388** 11-12-2012, 10:59 AM

Same, my brother thinks it's one of the greatest games ever, but I just got bored of it.

Vyrien · #**389** 11-12-2012, 03:45 PM

Yeah, I'd attribute it to nostalgia, I preferred GTA3 for the same reason.

Currently I'm playing Doom 3 BFG. It's okay so far but the graphics look a bit patchy.

Mac Sirloin · #**390** 11-12-2012, 11:02 PM

GTA games are all overhyped, unfun, boring, uninteresting, sloppily written, lazily constructed drek that is supposed to appeal to this fictional 'good taste bone' that gaymerz decided they developed because they're always bland outcasts lurching around the fringes of society without any idea what makes a good crime story. Furthermore, Rockstar started enacting brain controls and poison gas sprays that are released in constant spore clouds each time you turn on a system with one of their games in it that gives you bone cancer and saps your brainthoughts out through your nose when you sneeze at the highly noxious spores. Ticks and mites breed in your nasal cavity and infest your vocal chords into nasally impotent fringes squealing out combinations of curse words that are the only trigger that a fellow gammer's brain can process and deliver a response to. Eventually you're just a heaving, swearing pus sack with two fleshy claws extending from the skinmass to hold a controller or lay on a keyboard.

That's what I think of your 'Fun game' that you 'enjoy playing', idiots.
