anyway, i just watched Starship Troopers (funny movie) and i noticed their armor and weapons look alot like the kit Halo frontman Master Chief wears, well... a fusion of the armor from the game DOOM and Starship troopers. has anyone else noticed this? and are there any similarities between starship troopers and the game of halo?
kinda an odd topic i know, but considering I won't be playing Halo any time soon (no xbawx and no plans on buying the PC version) i don't really have any other way of finding out.

ROFL! Halo is a good game, but it isn't even close to being in the top one-hundred games of all time, and certainly is not the best game this generation.

you meant in your opinion, correct?
I think Prime is as good, but nothing else comes close, IMO.

I still think Prime is the only one that matches it in quality, ED was a great game, but looked awful and had a far to simplistic combat style., and yo know my feeling on WW, I just dont see what all the fuss is about.

If by best, you mean average, then yes! It is one of the most average games of all time!

glad to see you know so much more than everyone else Bill. Even though every gaming site immaginable said it was an excellent FPS, and many here who are die hard Nintendo fans even think it was a great game.
Have you even played it from beginning to end?
Your arrogance is worse than anything Bill Gates could muster.

And no, your arrogance is far worse than mine for complaining about my opinion...
Post by: thecubedcanuck on December 02, 2003, 06:52:57 AM
You are the one posting your OPINION in such a way that it appears no other opinions are welcome, that is why it came accross as arrogant.
95% of gaming websites and puplication disagree with you, meaning your OPINION is the minority, and not FACT as you would make everyone believe., again this was the reason your post kinda pissed me off, it is nothing personal.
As for a newbie game, I am 33 years old and have owned damn near everything from the Vic 20 upwards., including every one of Nintendo's consoles. I also own all the current gen systems.
The differance is, I am not a NINTENDO only fan, I dont hate MS and SONY, where as you appear to have biases for both.
On a side note, I dont mean to pick on you, I just hate seeing people bash other systems when the reasons provided dont seem to add up. Also is your guitar a real Strat?

(And yes, my guitar is a strat...Not a great one, but a strat none-the-less ^_^)

I personally did not enjoy Halo because I cannot play FPS's. Moving and the turning at the same time gives me headaches. I played a 5-man deathmatch at my friends house once, and had to go out for some fresh air after only 10 minutes of play.
I loved Metroid Prime though. Even though it has a First-Person view, I only occasionally experience headaches. The reason is because Samus cannot move and turn at the same time. Oh well....

"and personally, I don't see anything on the Cube that can match it, nor can anything on the PS2 match it. I think it's because Halo is a sci-fi first person shooter, and I have yet to see something that can compare to it."
Metroid Prime was a sci-fi shooter in many regards, and from everything I have read, it recieved nearly identical marks in its critical reviews. So I would say, it does indeed have competition from the cube, personal preferances aside.
See the problem here is your comparison. When you look at the Cubes target audience, you will find very few FPS fans. As far as many here are concerned Zelda, Sunshine and ED, are all HALO killers, I personally may not agree, in many cases, sales tell me they are correct.
As for the PS2, GTA3 and VICECITY are not only HALO killers, they are console killers. When GTA3 came out for PS2 and being exclusive for as long as it was, it not only killed HALO, it guarenteed SONY 1st place in the generation without a challenge. All Vice City did was pour gas on an already raging fire.
"But, what I do find funny, is Sony is STILL trying to release a Halo killer. Which shows you that Sony is still living in the past. Nintendo, on the other hand, has moved on, and realizes they can't get a Halo killer, so they'll try and release more than one good game to try and topple the best Xbox game."
This is very funny, SONY has at least 10 titles on its console that have sold way better than HALO. As for NIN, I doubt they ever gave a rats ass about HALO. PLease read the my last paragraph again as it sums this all up.
"Nintendo is taking the best approach when compared to Sony's, but I don't see either of them being able to get a Halo killer out."
Only true X-box fanboys, even think that anyone is still trying, let alone needs a HALO killer. The game is 2 years old and untill HALO 2 comes, will matter NONE in what the console are currently doing.
ALl this from an X-box owner and a huge halo fan. I just couldnt help but point out just how off base you really were.

I'm not saying the Grand Theft Auto games haven't outsold Halo big time, but the truth is, like I said previously, after awhile, single player gets very boring. Not to mention, comparing GTA to Halo would almost be like comparing swimming to basketball. They're completely different.

"...I'm pretty sure a lot of people will agree that playing single player gets boring, and multiplayer would have made the game even better."
It's funny because I feel exactly opposite to that notion. The single player is great, and multi would just ruin it. It wouldn't be Metroid.
