Very nice. Looking forward to the demo (assuming I can tear myself away from Halo ODST).

How old are “Uncle”Chuckle ? Halo 3 & ODST is a kids game. If you are anything over 17 years old you should not be playing it, as it will prevent your IQ score from getting higher. Also people who play Halo Series should not be allowed to post on this website because they are not smart enough to realize how hugely overrated the Halo series is and do not know what is a Good or Bad.

I think he might be joking, Halo ODST was in the news recently for being ready for release back in May but Microsoft were holding out just so they could suck in more cash from the stupid fan following, ratings for the actual game are also low despite the $$$ padding.

Yahtzee’s Zero Punctuation sums up the entire Halo series the best.

AHHHH Why did I chime into this conversation!

UncleChuckie has to be joking… true simulation fans are probably waiting for Operation Flashpoint 2 rather than Halo. Then again… halo good be fun in a grid sort of way.

btw.. these graphics look amazing

No, I am not kidding. I am buying Halo for a variety of reasons. I am a hardcore gamer for starters and have not played Halo since the first one, and since ODST bundles all the Halo 3 multiplayer, has a local boy as the main vocal talent on it, and I wanted an FPS for my Xbox, and it was either that or Gears of War 2, Halo ODST seemed the better value. (Due to said multiplayer content.)

And I have to keep on current games due to my job and like it or not, ODST is one of the bigger releases of the year.

I find the contention that if I’m “over 17 I shouldn’t be playing it”. If you observed the ratings system, nobody UNDER 17 can play it due to it being rated “M” and almost all the Xbox owners I know are in their mid 30′s.

I’d rather be young at heart than a miserable old fart:)

I am a man of varied interests. And sometimes, I just wanna blow shit up from the comfort of my couch on my lovely TV.

And my IQ is quite high thank you:)

As for Forza, I am excited but dubious. Like sidling up to a strange woman in a bar. It could be awesome. But she could leave you sore and needing antibiotics.

Did a quick poll of some friends and acquaintances the absolute 100% consensus was you’re all wrong.

The Scuderia’s stripes are off-centre

Yeah whatever makes you happy, “Halo Fanboy”.

Are you kidding?

I did not know I could not have fun with games that were not simulation and not be a simmer am i locked out of the clubhouse now?

Seriously, I play Madden 2010 – Its fun, really fun actually. I’m a huge RE fan and also just picked up Heroes over Europe. I have FEAR 2 and GTAIV and many other FUN games.. But I still consider myself a simmer and am well over 17.

I religiously play IL2 1946, I’ve spent well over a thousand dollars on FSX/FS2004 addons. Was a bif Op Flash Point fan (all those years ago) And loved Arma Assualt and Armaed Assualt II. Every race sim, all the sub sims, flight sims etc. Fuck I spent $125 for a Tank sim.

I bet with Steel Beast you would be so dammed lost with the fact you just encountered the best sim of anything ever made.

Why do all cars in Forza look like they are going over a crest? There seem to be no weight on the dampers.

Oh, and superapex, Operation Flashpoint 2 will not be a war simulator. Its just the name that remains of the old and glorious Flashpoint.

I quoted the wrong user, sorry superapex :)

that ferrari f355 looks a lil off, i wonder if they lazer scanned it.

But gotta admit, they didnt jazz up their pics showing these cars crashing or drifting or blinged out like another game lol

Woo, more bullshots Its a routine practice, but not really needed for Forza 3, It’ll look great anyway, if this is the quality of photo mode, well f**k me
.

Husky, you are a quintessential nice guy. The second component of my statement makes a concession to the fact that it could in fact be fun. Which is ultimately why any of us partake of the endeavors we declare as hobbies.

And just FYI it was Dead Star I was intending to quote the first time around. I had read his initial comment and your comment and got things confused, so that is all my bad really.

The True Simmer comment i had applied to his initial comment about age and being allowed to post.

I still disagree with the “true simmer” comment but it was his general attitude I was trying to get at, I just fucked up my quoting and reading of comments.

I fixed the entire post now.. better?

So how bout that beer?
PS – I should have said Held a Q clearance, that was stripped last year and only L level granted. Basically due to job needs and restrictions. Lots of people hold clearances at Power Plants.

Husky, please accept my apology. A beer on me anytime.

To quote Col. Jessep from “A Few Good Men”… “Don’t I feel like the fucking asshole”.
