Goddamnit this guy's a douchebag

[quote=jcorp;24955269]goddamnit this guy's a [b]moneysucking dickhead[/b][/quote] much better

Bobby ain't got laid heh? How can a company be happy to work with this money sucker.

[QUOTE=MasterG;24955400]Microsoft isn't much better, y'know texanderson? You know, the same ones that are all "Valve aren't allowed to update their game because it will cost money or some shit"[/QUOTE] im sorry but im confused?

"Problem, gamers/indie devs :smug:." But how are Bungie indie developers or did I miss something? (PS: I haven't read all pages).

[QUOTE=Grim Joker;24948958]Did you even play any after the first one? I thought Halo 3 was probably the worst of the five, but that even added a ton of new features that people like.[/QUOTE] Halo 2 was crappy.

The first Halo was the ADD Generation's Goldeneye. After that, Halo became Mediocre. They thought Hey this was a hit, let's see how long we can keep making it and then releasing it for money. Call of Duty did that and have got REALLY bad about it after Call of Duty 2, Medal of Honor is now officially going down that same track, Halo has long been on it. You can look at these games and see that they've migrated from the more mature crowd to the ACTION NOW IMMEDIATELY NO WAITING I WANT EVERYTHING FLASHY FLASHY crowd, Which wouldn't be too bad [b]If they would just fucking make a different game in the same decade instead of the same. exact. one. Over and Over[/b]

[QUOTE=Xenoyia v2;24942947]Oh god rofl. Bungie is anything but the best.[/QUOTE] Holy shit! this guy actually knows how to use the phrase properly! I like how you're not saying the opposite of what you mean with this phrase. unlike pasically 99% of people who spew it out. Why am i making a fuss? because i almost lever see this wonderful phrase used correctly and it just restored my faith in humanity.

ITT: Too many people giving a fuck

[QUOTE=texanderson;24956209]just like your post's? all of your post's are the same bullshit over and over again[/QUOTE] Just like your favourite game? All of your Bungie's games are the same bullshit over and over again

[QUOTE=Maximo13;24956227]Just like your favourite game? All of your Bungie's games are the same bullshit over and over again[/QUOTE] not really, each halo game except for halo wars and ODST has introduced something new and cool

For only 30 more bucks you can watch all the cut scenes you saw in the game, AGAIN! [editline]09:15AM[/editline] That's brilliant.

[QUOTE=thisispain;24956232]not really, each halo game except for halo wars and ODST has introduced something new and cool[/QUOTE] :downsbravo:

[QUOTE=Doomish;24943769]that is not independent how is that independent at all if you have a major publishing company backing you up[/QUOTE] Because they're not an internal studio dumbass. They were with Microsoft, but now they are independent again. They also were independent for ODST and Reach. Of course it's highly dependant on what you view as "high quality", in a way Bungie makes a higher standard of quality than nearly any other developer I've known of. But it's really hard to say they're the only high quality independent developer even with such a high standard.

He... I mean it... He's... Fuck. [editline]09:27AM[/editline] [sp]Someone assassinate him, please...[/sp]

[QUOTE=Zezibesh;24944992]So every company is indie now?[/QUOTE] Hey, we don't know how to differentiate between causal relationships now? I didn't know, must have missed that memo. Developer turns publisher is different from publisher acquires developer.

[QUOTE=TheTalon;24956146][b]If they would just fucking make a different game in the same decade instead of the same. exact. one. Over and Over[/b][/QUOTE] Just like half-life

[QUOTE=Generic_Monk;24948863] The Halo series has been mediocre for every game after the first one.[/QUOTE] Instead of jumping on the bandwagon play Halo Reach then come back with an opinion.

[QUOTE=Zezibesh;24956435]Just like half-life[/QUOTE] half-life follows a story this is the difference [editline]10:54AM[/editline] [QUOTE=P1X3L N1NJA;24956481]Instead of jumping on the bandwagon play Halo Reach then come back with an opinion.[/QUOTE] played it hated it only the soundtrack was good tbh

[QUOTE=Taggart;24956503]half-life follows a story this is the difference [/QUOTE] Halo doesn't follow a story? Wow, I must have been playing a different game.

[QUOTE=Taggart;24956503]half-life follows a story this is the difference [/QUOTE] What Halo have you been playing? I honestly doubt you have played Halo reach like you claim otherwise you wouldnt have said such stupid shit.

[QUOTE=Taggart;24956503]half-life follows a story this is the difference[/QUOTE] Oh, come on.

[QUOTE=P1X3L N1NJA;24956530]What Halo have you been playing? I honestly doubt you have played Halo reach like you claim otherwise you wouldnt have said such stupid shit.[/QUOTE] except I would because I have welcome to differing opinions son

[QUOTE=Zezibesh;24956435]Just like half-life[/QUOTE] Half-Life 1 and its Expansion packs are you playing through the story's events as a different person. Halo, meanwhile, has you play as Mary Chief, all day, all the time (well, except for Rookie, but he might as well be Master Sue in different armor who has much less strength, and the Arbiter, who is Master Chief the Sue but with a starfish for a mouth). I rather enjoyed the levels in Halo 2 where you play as the Arbiter and you get to see the game from another perspective, but you never really overlap with the main story besides letting the humans nab whatever macguffin they need to, and once you finally meet up with Master Chief, a giant zombie space plant tells you to help eachother. Not really good storytelling if the first thing you do with two overlapping storylines with two completely opposite characters is to have them be all buddy-buddy.
