Favorite video game and why

And I'm good at Halo. Amazing graphics as well.

Some of the special fx in this game include visible shockwaves when you pass the speed of sound. It appears as a white cloud around the airplane. Also, the explosions are awesome and sounds. The music is cool too. Ace Combat 5 is still better because its fx were just as good and the storyline and music were better. Plus, it had a hot Japanese chick in it who was a fighter pilot!

What good are state-of-the-art graphics if the game isn't fun? To me, Halo may look amazing, but I sure wouldn't find any joy in that type of gaming world.

I didn't say Ace Combat Zero was bad. I just said it wasn't as good as Ace COmbat 5, which in my opinion would be very hard to top. I'd give Zero a 7 and AC5 a 10. But I never said the game sucked or anything.

Rodger, some people have different tastes than others.

I laugh at how bad of a sport this kid is.

Omg!

And I thought I had a temper!

That was like scary and funny, hehe

LOL...I've seen that! I get verbal sometimes but never physical! That was funny. Can't say I'm a fan of Halo but I do like FPS games. Perfect Dark as to be my favourite one ever. Not Zero...I mean the first PD for N64. Resident Evil 4 is still my current top game...still waiting for Kingdom Heart 2 to be released over here. It was due to come out this coming Friday but it's been delayed AGAIN! <_< Been held back until August now...for what reason I dunno but they're not letting us have it anytime soon.

Littlefoot Fan · **Reply #127 on:** May 22, 2006, 03:20:03 PM

I actually tend to get a bit physical when I get like really aggrivated (Since I never have anything to shout at the screen

), but never any way like that! The worst I've probably done was just bang the wall

Never got anywhere near crazy enough to start whacking the tv screen

I don't think it's so much the fact that you shouldn't be playing videogames though, more just knowing when to stop.

Littlefoot1616 · **Reply #128 on:** May 24, 2006, 05:50:48 AM

Meh...different people have different length fuses for their temper. Some can take more defeats than others. Some just HAVE to win otherwise it's cheating (I used to know someone like that...he never liked playing certain games with me when we were in college coz I was better than him). I've only ever truly flipped out once and that was playing Street Fighter Alpha 3 for PSX (Playstation 1). Trying to beat M. Bison with Sakura...took me well over 1/2 hr and almost 20 consecutive lost battles. Got a bit hot under the proverbial collar :angry: I laugh at it now but everyone has a limit but some people are just that ickle bit more reactive than others...as that video of the angry Halo player suggests

Littlefoot Fan · **Reply #129 on:** May 24, 2006, 10:16:57 AM

Hehe. I wonder what level he was doin anyway

I wanna try it!

Cyberlizard · **Reply #130 on:** May 24, 2006, 05:15:43 PM

He was playing an online slayer match on Xbox Live. I play the online multiplayer on Halo for PC and harly ever talk verbally to the screen. I just type what I say in words at the players on the other side of the world I'm shooting at.

There are those times though where you run in to a moronic n00b who acts like he logged on to a dozen porn sites while smoking weed before playing the game. I hate those people, they deserve to be banned from every server out there :angry: :angry: At least you can lash out with a more offensive remark. Remeber one thing while playing online against an idiot: He dosen't know your name, he doesn't know where you live, and chances are you'll never see him again.

Littlefoot Fan · **Reply #131 on:** May 24, 2006, 05:37:08 PM

Aahh, hehe. Yea I've gotten pretty aggrivated with Halo online when it seemed like no matter what I did I just couldn't kill anyone.

Not that I was bad, just always those dang experts

. Man I'd love to go back to that game. Too late now though, since my graphics card is fried

Oh yea, god do I hate them people. No matter what game you play there are always them "types" around.

Another thing I really hate is when people call you a n00b because you killed them an unfair way or something :blink: Besides camping (since I know how unfair that can be) there really isn't any "fair" way to wallop someone. It's not my fault they happen to be out in the wilderness while I'm in a Banchee

I just found myself a new favoerite game: Halo 2 online!

The only complaint is that most of the vehicles suck and the only one that doesn't is a Warhog...which can be hijacked with you still in the back firing the gun (personal experience talking here).

Cyberlizard · **Reply #133 on:** May 28, 2006, 02:02:49 AM

I like Halo online. But unlike you I have to wait a half a year to play Halo 2. The A-holes at Microsoft dealyed the Vista launch to 2007. Same with Halo 2. If they keep it up with these delays somebody will sue them. :angry:

Never played it, but I'll bet you can't turn the gun and shoot the driver, hey?

: That would be a little incentive to not take off with someone else's vehicle

So true in any game. I must say though, I believe camping is a valid tactic unless all players agree Before the game that it not be used. Yes, it is annoying, but you can't tell me it doesn't work in some situations. Besides, where does one draw the line between playing defensively or tactically, and Camping? It's a hard call sometimes, especially in team games where roles are to be assigned. I don't hold it against players too much for camping, especially in team games.

What I am against however, is exploiting game bugs (such as walking through a wall somewhere, jumping really high, etc. etc) to win. Even if all players do it, this is Not an acceptable part of the game for online or group play. Play the game as it was meant, and don't go out of your way to break the game.

I suppose your right Action9000. Since I have camped before

(One time was when someone was driving me around their base with a warthog. I swear I killed like 20 people before they killed me some way (I think with a rocket).

Another time I was actually standing right in front of their base with a Pistol! I can't remember how long I stayed there but I know I killed at least 10-15 people. You'd be surprised what headshots can do

Cyberlizard · **Reply #136 on:** May 28, 2006, 10:46:44 AM

Yeah.

Give me a sniper rifle and a rocket launcher and I can do just about anything.

Littlefoot1616 · **Reply #137 on:** May 29, 2006, 05:58:24 AM

I only camp at a last resort if I'm really doing badly but, I dunno about you guys, playing multiplayer FPS games. If we discover someone camping, we tend to gang up on the camper and double team him. LOL It sounds harsh but we don't normally play "camping" but it's sort of a unwritten conseqeunce. If you camp, prepare to be double teamed.

So pitch your tent at your own expense!

Littlefoot Fan · **Reply #138 on:** May 29, 2006, 08:36:51 PM

Hehe

I actually sometimes find it fun when someone is camping by (say constantly driving around your base with a warthog). Gotta come up with some cunning plan to wipe him out

F-14 Ace · **Reply #139 on:** June 21, 2006, 01:48:41 AM

I tried Halo 2 with one of my friends once. I sucked at it. -_- I'm more of an Ace COmbat oerson, having mastered Ace Combat 3, 4, 5, and Zero.
