Ready for REACH?
hell no.
Gaylo is not my type of game, and I don't see what is so great about it after its like 5th game.
-
I got interested in halo when my friend let me play his halo 3 for the first time, the only thing I hated about halo were assholes on line XD
-
I have beta access that I can't use; 360's dead.
-
I have beta access that I can't use; 360's dead.
Then come over and play on mine! You only live like what... 5 hours away? xD
Anyways yeah Reach is looking great so far. I just hope it doesn't get too gimmicky, and they actually fix Halo 3's shitty engine.
-
From what I understand it's an entirely new engine built from the ground up :P
Someone also mentioned jetpacks to me....... which is kinda sweet
-
Right, it's a completely new engine. I just hope they didn't make the same mistakes twice. And yes jetpacks will be awesome, hopefully they don't add too many things that make it annoying and lame.

First of all, shut up. Second, stop acting like Halo is a milked franchise. It's really not, especially compared to most Nintendo franchises, and Final Fantasy.

And I said others weren't.
I'm not "acting" I'm stating an opinion, that you attacked, gj.
-
I can kinda relate to what Xiphirx is saying, but I've seen some info about REACH and it actually looks like they're trying to reinvent it a little, keeping the great stuff, scrapping the crap, and adding in interesting new things.
I've gotten bored of the other Halo games, but I'm willing to give REACH a try because it actually sounds like it will be good.
Also, Breedlove/Moldrill (pick one ;p):

Take it easy. I know that you feel the need to defend the beloved Halo, but your tone here sounds a bit harsh, whether you meant it to be or not.
-
Meh, Reach doesn't interest me. I never really liked the Halo games. I got bored of 1.

...And Nintendo and Square-Enix franchises being milked have what to do with what he said? It's not like he used either of those as comparisons for franchises that weren't being milked.

I'm going to take this statement and show everyone why it's the stupidest argument ever for video games.
Zelda is not my type of game, and I don't see what is so great about it after its like 5th game.
Mario is not my type of game, and I don't see what is so great about it after its like 5th game.
Metroid is not my type of game, and I don't see what is so great about it after its like 5th game.
Anything Blizzard has made is not my type of game, and I don't see what is so great about it after its like 5th game.
Banjo Kazooie is not my type of game, and I don't see what is so great about it after its like 5th game.
Fire Emblem is not my type of game, and I don't see what is so great about it after its like 5th game.
Call of Duty is not my type of game, and I don't see what is so great about it after its like 5th game.
Doom is not my type of game, and I don't see what is so great about it after its like 5th game.
Wolfenstein is not my type of game, and I don't see what is so great about it after its like 5th game.
God of War is not my type of game, and I don't see what is so great about it after its like 5th game.
Metal Gear is not my type of game, and I don't see what is so great about it after its like 5th game.
Earthbound is not my type of game, and I don't see what is so great about it after its like 5th game.
Etc.
Seriously; most retarded argument ever. Each game is unique in it's own right, and it's far from milked. Obviously if there's a "5th game", it means it's made enough revenue (aka it's great enough for sales) to have sequels produced. The statement you made can be applied to any major franchise, and as a result is far from being regarded as a valid statement.
-
Personally, I just don't like you called it "Gaylo." Seriously, on that note, grow up. Just say you don't like it. You don't have resort to "name calling."
/mini rant
Right now, Reach is on the fence for whether or not it'll be too gimicky and a good progression for the series. The Beta will tell, here's to it being a good refresh.
I'm excited for it reguardless. I'm an avid fan of the story. I've read the books and played the games and I can't wait for what this game will add (though we know how it's gonna end, in an over arching way).
-
Xiphirx, what is your type of game?..
-
I don't even have a 360 and I never liked the first Halo game. Never really cared much for first person shooters (with the exception of few).
-
Mind you, I have a very biased opinion on this due to a couple of my friends with the opinion halo is the best game ever, computer gamers are nerds/!@#$% while xbox gamers are normal people, and all they used to talk about was halo D:
Also I certainly wasn't going to get a 360 when 4/5 of my mates red ringed. That was before microsoft fixed its !@#$% but it was too late by then.
When I finally played halo I couldn't see anything particularly great about it. I think the term hype aversion applys here.
-
I mostly enjoyed Halo because of the multiplayer. Haven't played any of the 360 games tho, as I don't have one.
-
Haven't played halo 3. Though I enjoy halo.

Wow, aggressive much?
Anyway, Halo is completely milked IMO. Nothing has changed at all from Halo 1 to ODST and by the looks of it, REACH. All its been is a graphical update every time. The first game was a hit so they've just copied it everytime. Even REACH with its new engine looks completely the same.
-
Seriously; most retarded argument ever.
Really? Stating his opinion is the most retarded argument ever?
It was quite clearly written as his opinion aswell...
Gaylo is not my type of game, and I don't see what is so great about it after its like 5th game.
Anyway; my interest in Halo is limited, I've got the 1st one for PC and love the custom edition (Cold Snap is amazing). Second one bored the living !@#$% out of me, yet I have fond memories of LAN parties, and making someone cry.
Halo 3 was crap minus one thing, and that was Forge mode.
The multiplayer was only good when you was playing with friends (LAN and what not), online was just full of prepubescent racists, hearing the n-bomb every 3 seconds by some 6 year old wannabe gangster with the literacy skills of an apple just does not apple to me.
-
I've learned something.
Stating an opinion already invites people to try and demolish it.
gj guys, gj.
Oh, and my type of games include RPG's, RTS's (just StarCraft, methinks). I do play some FPS's like CSS, and I also play sandbox games along with anything else that interests me... (not halo, GoW, or any main stream game that is being shoved down everyone's throat imo)
EDIT: Here's my attempt to demolish moldrill's opinion, you know, just so I dont feel left out.
Final Fantasy is far from milked. Each Final Fantasy game has it's own story, it's not a continuing story. Each game, could be thought of a game of its own.

Obviously you've realized the fault of posting one's opinion :), thats all i ask of you
-
Haven't really seen much of Reach tight butthole.
Actually, the only game I am really looking forward to is the only one that does not have a release date...Diablo III. The new Ghost Reacon doesn't interest me and I used to be big into those.
As far as getting ready for games, Resident Evil 5 killed that feeling off for me entirely.
Pre-ordered it. Stood in line thinking that it was going to be the greatest game ever since pac-man. Got it...then beat it in less than 4 hours. So, from now on, I try not to get too stoked over a game.(Especially since I dropped around $100 on the RE5 Collector's Edition *cough*)

He's saying the argument is bad, not his opinion. Granted, there is only his opinion there but usually you give reasons as to why you think they way you do. It leads to discussion. All stating your opinion does is start flaming. I don't care what you think, just give a reason and if all you do is say you hate/love it, don't sound like a !@#$% (general statment, not targeted to anyone) when you do it.
So, um, yeah, about that Halo Reach...

It wasn't an argument though, it wasn't even structured in the sense of an argument. It was just his opinion. Like I said It was quite clearly written as his opinion aswell... so there was no way it could of been misconstrued...
Also, you don't have to give reason as to why you dislike something, it's just enough to say you don't.

Welcome to gamefaqs... oh wait, wrong site, gamefaqs is the place where you need to state exactly why you dislike something

Okay; well lets put it this way then-
Whorefallen is not my kind of person. I don't see what's so special with him after the like 5th post.
^I didn't provide a single reason for my statement. It's practically the same as saying "!@#$% sucks" and leaving it at that. To make matters worse, I threw in a little trolling by changing the name to something obscene :)
Now obviously I'm not being entirely serious with that statement, but had you read it as such, obviously you'd be saying "wtf".
Had I said something like "He only posts when he sees the opportunity to argue with someone else to help escalate the problems", it makes the statement more valid.
If you had read my post, you'd see that I was stating that the argument itself (and yes, it is an "argument" as it's explaining a viewpoint or stance to an existing stance) was invalid as it provided no counterpoints or reasoning.
Here's an example of a good response, as I tackle responding to an at least valid response
Anyway, Halo is completely milked IMO. Nothing has changed at all from Halo 1 to ODST and by the looks of it, REACH. All its been is a graphical update every time. The first game was a hit so they've just copied it everytime. Even REACH with its new engine looks completely the same.
Can't really agree when people say they're the same. There was a significant change in play between Halo 1 and 2. The only real similarities were the story, which obviously should carry between the games. Otherwise, neither of them played all that similarly. The fact that they were the same genre is a duh, so obviously yes, you walk around in a first person view, aim, and shoot things, but you can't use that as a point against the game itself. People hated Zelda 2 because it did exactly what people seem to expect Halo to do :P
Halo 3 ODST is even more different from the other installments, especially Halo 3. Only similarities were the visuals (which were greatly enhanced between the two games), and again the fact that it was a FPS. It's hard to go back to playing Halo 3 after playing ODST, because of how vastly different the two play.

!@#$%fallen is not my kind of person. I don't see what's so special with him after the like 5th post.
!@#$% you, I don't pick on your career choices :(

Like I said, you don't need to post your reasons when you post your opinion. Only need to give reason when you are posting facts (or delusions). Also it's a bit different, yours was "attacking" me, he was more so attacking the game. Fairplay if he'd of said "All Halo player's are bumbandits" then yeah I'd of understood.
Had I said something like "He only posts when he sees the opportunity to argue with someone else to help escalate the problems", it makes the statement more valid.
Could just say "being a !@#$% for !@#$%'s sake". Unless you're Canadian.
If you had read my post, you'd see that I was stating that the argument itself (and yes, it is an "argument" as it's explaining a viewpoint or stance to an existing stance) was invalid as it provided no counterpoints or reasoning.
It's not an argument though, because the topic at hand isn't a debate, and doesn't follow on like that, he was just simply stating his opinion as a reason to why he wont be getting REACH. (is it all caps or are we all just being retarded?)

Just as valid as Xph... Xiph... Xsomethingorother's post. Only he gave reason. I do kind of agree with Slimmy, Halo 1 and 2 engine wise were near carbon copy, Halo 3 gave a few modifications to the engine (I mean let's face it, the engine worked amazingly anyway). I cant comment on the other games though because my interests just never really grew.

Actually, Halo 2's engine was build from the ground up. There wasn't anything that was copied straight from Halo 1. For Halo 3, changes where made to accommodate the jump the the Xbox 360 though it was still based off of Halo 2's engine. From 3 to ODST, the engine remained unchanged for the most part, with the exception of the ability to do full screen effects (such as for VISR mode) and other small tweaks.
I'm not sure about the engine for Reach but it seems to me it would have the same scale of changes as from 2 to 3.
As for Slimmy's comments, I'll admit, Halo's fundamental game play hasn't changed much but that's what I like about it. What keeps me on for the next game is the additions they put in. For example, duel wielding in H2, equipment in H3, and armor abilities and game types for Reach. It's changed it just enough to make it fresh and interesting.

If you like the main gameplay mechanics, then its all good. Im not saying the Halo series is bad, or even that its a bad thing it hasn't changed, I was just saying it hasn't. I like the Halo games. Not amazingly, but I can have a good multiplayer session with mates on it. I do however think its overrated, with people calling it the best series ever.
-

I can wholeheartedly agree with that. In fact, when Halo 1 came out I became pretty irritated when people claimed that it was very unique and the best thing since sliced bread, when really it was more of the same :p
It wasn't until Halo 2 came out that I started to enjoy the series.

O.o then they must of built it straight form the ground up and ended up with an exact copy? XD I dunno, I just felt they were the same when playing through, the way vehicles handled and weapons. Only difference was the worlds really. To me anyway.

Wasn't saying you were saying it was bad, just discussing. :) Even as a hard core Halo fan, I wouldn't say Halo is the best series ever. I'd probably give it to Zelda.
Actually, bert, I think I may be getting my stuff mixed up. I know for sure they had to completely redo the multiplayer side of the game but whether that extended to the entire game, I'm not sure. You may be right. Seems like I recall someone saying they did the whole game, it may have just been multiplayer.

Halo 2 had an entirely new engine. There are going to be similarities because they obviously tried to not drastically change certain mechanics.

I'm sure the new engine was much more efficient etc. but I played both a few days ago at a gaming session, and really can't feel that big a difference. Its just a bit more polished.

Quick question: You will be able to download it from odst or they give you some ingame code?

Read up. Downloaded from ODST.
I'm a huuuuuge halo fan so the wait for May 3rd is killing me. Looks wonderful.
Also, Mammy displeases me. He knows what I mean.

I'm not going to cyber with you ;)

Damn right you won't, you're already going to cyber with me

does anyone know where the beta is, all it says when you put the odst disc in is preview beta and its just a video
-

You only get the beta if you pre-ordered ODST dude.

Nope, you just need the game in order to play and download it.
Ganon, you probably couldn't get on because it was too early in the morning. I was just on about an hour ago and got two games in, it's pretty fun so far. Didn't do too well though, had to get used to the controls. I went -4 the first game and -2 the second. Not bad for my first two games.
-
I'm gonna call microsft and tell them i lost my odst disc, they will give me beta access'
i don't even have gold LOL
-
Oh really? Nevermind me then, I'll just go back to minding my business :C
-
The game is alright. I don't really care for it. Seems kinda slow paced and the default button layout is stupid.
-
Gaylo. Nuff said.
But seriously, yes many franchises are milked, but I hate Halo users. Every single one ive ever met were either Tattoo Wielding Douchebags, or 12 year old boys who WILL NEVER get laid.
-
ITT: 40% arguing over opinions, 60% REACH. Overkill.
Anyway I never really got into Halo. Had H3 back when I had a 360 but I ended up not playing it was much as CoD4 and MW2. It's really just what Xiphirx said. It's just not my type of game. Why? I didn't enjoy it as much. Why? I don't know, I just like Call of Duty more!
-
I've been playing this game since the beta first came out. I don't know if I enjoy playing Invasion very much. I don't mind the social slayer settings and Grab Bag isn't bad. The controls were switched stupidly so I changed them to Recon settings. Overall I'm enjoying myself.
-
My friend told me that in Invasion the Spartans seem to always win, no matter what. Seems a little unfair to be honest. I do love the fact that Elites can roll like they did in the Halo and Halo 2 campaigns. :P
