that pretty much sums up everything i dislike about modern games....


except for some games not allowing mutliplayer on the same box, LAN and live only... but with only 1 person per xbox... Counterstrike might have actually been a good xbox game if my friends could play along  with me.. along with unreal II and half of all the modern FPS

some very good points there...especially on the games loading issue...hell, on a high powered pc, games like half like 2 and far cry still take awhile to load....love my pc games, but love the consoles more...throw on vice city and I'm up and running in like a minute.

The crate has long been held up as a symbol of lazy game art design, a crutch that game level decorators have been falling back on for fifteen damned years. Come to think of it, have you ever actually seen one of those wooden crates in real life? And did you smash it to see if there were bullets and medicine inside?



best line ever

My favorite is his halo online article. Check it out.

After I read the modern gaming thread a week ago ( the one posted in this thread), I took a second thought into stopping my gaming hobbie...

But then I shook my head and am back to 'normal' now. whew.

Did any one read the article on Halo? The Killer or sumthing? I wonder if the kid on xbox live was really kidnapped or just was put there.

EDIT: Its "Halo 2 and the criminal mind"

Halo 2 and the criminal mind


Kid: "Hey! Somebody help me! There's a man in my house-"

John: Oh, you gots to suck it, whore! You gots to take my schlong bullets and suck ‘em right on up with your face!

Kid: (muffled in the background) Oh, shit! Somebody help me, please! Someone’s broken into my house! Can you hear me? Call the police!

John: You like that, don’t you? Every bullet that passes through your crotch is another inch added to my kill boner.

(A second muffled voice emerges, over the faint sound of furniture breaking)

Voice: Shut up, you little bitch. Take off that headset. We're goin' for a ride.

Kid: (screaming from a distance) God, please help me! Somebody call 911! My name is Chad Wells, and I live in Hamilton, New York. There's a man here and he’s tryin-

John: Oh, there ain't no police in Halo world! I'm unloading into your pussy character and I'm gonna do the same when you respawn!

Kid: Please! Anybody!

John: YOU SHOULDN’T HAVE DROPPED THE HANDLE, BITCH!

It's scary....
