I didnt. I only played Reach and hated it mostly. I have to admit Im not a fan of the Halo series. Though if there was a game in the series I would play, it would be a good RPG entry (ODST is a srpg right?).

Nah man it's still an FPS. It's a way different atmosphere to most FPSes though. I enjoyed it.
 
Nah that's Wars. ODST's campaign is traditional Halo set in a sandbox, but it features a new team with quite a lot of personality between them and character development to boot. Noir setting with lots of atmosphere helps.

As a fellow RPG fan I would recommend it.

Don't forget the smooth jazz / guitar licks. One of the best Video Game scores.

Beautiful. Did you make this using Adobe ImageReady too or what?

Btw thanks to Gestault for his reply earlier, this thread just moves too fast to keep up! :P
 
this whole time zone thing messes with my brain, its Sunday right now but its Monday some where else. This is some Einstein shit. Lets all switch to swatch time

Here it is 2:29AM which is Monday enough for me. Get the hype in your veins, tomorrow bitch. Tomorrow!! one day left, tomorrow we will incover the secrets inside that Tent.

Yay =3
 
Awesome.

Anyway, thread grew by nearly 20 pages overnight. Any news of interest?
From my quick scrabble, whispers of a Halo ARPG.

These threads have actually been growing consistently at a rate of like 15-20 100ppp pages a day for the last few days. It's kind of insane. I never expected GAF to be excited about a MS product at all, and this thread certainly had a slower start.

Yes please. As unlikely as it is, I think Halo would make for a great ARPG.

Absolutely nothing, just possibly fake specs.

Thanks. Only 1 day left before we can hopefully put all this spec garbage BS behind us.

Sure, MS will say "hey, the next gen Xbox is 7000 based, it is not as powerful as the other next gen, but please understand"...

Xboxnow.com registered early 2000s. Shut it down
 
Actually with Kinect 2.0, you'll be able to Kinect as many Xboxes as you want and achieve infinity flops. Hence the name: Xbox Infinity

Am I doing this right?

I also find it funny that many people have this mindset :)
But let alone sony and their console, new xbox out late '13, based on 7000 series is a flatout embarassment for microsoft themselves.

Without breaking it down piece by piece - I'll just say.

It seems highly unlikely that the console will be 'definitely' not as powerful. That implies some substantial power gap that cannot be overcome. I think there's a chance it is ultimately less capable than the PS4 - but I fully expect the specs to be within breathing distance and visa versa - parity will be a given next gen (I think).

Subsidy - hopefully... but hard to say whether it will/can be a 'very big part' given that the subsidy system has not rolled out into other countries - but Live offerings differ substantially region to region. It'll be there in some form - I'm not sure it's going to see the massive push some would expect... but I don't know.

I'm not sure anyone would give a toss if Insomniac announced an exclusive game. Seems hardly worth mentioning to be honest. That's not to say that it's a bad thing - but all things considered - Microsoft have more weight to throw around than - Insomniac registering on the exclusive games side of things.

This, it'll definitely be something that's a generation beyond what's available on the market. I'm expecting volcanic islands with a bit of tech from the architecture after VI.
