I just got it, well my mom bought it for me so I was greeted with a PWNAGE present coming home from school.
Also as Triforce brought up before, understanding the human race is difficult. We have people that don't like Halo but would rather sit around and play lame games like Mario and Zelda, where after tons of games the main points remain the same. Zelda: Run around like the wussy elf he is and collect some magical crap to save the princess... etc... Mario: Just run from one end to the next end of the level while hopping on midget monsters... etc... So I'd agree that the human race is difficult to understand, especially those that play true retarded games and have the nerve to bash a game that OWNS the retarded games they play.
Anyway, off to play now. ^_^
[/quote]Of course, that's entirely the reason why Mario and Zelda have proven countless times to be as popular, if not more, than games like Halo, and have always been huge critical and commercial sucesses.
Your argument is also somewhat invalid when you say "Zelda: Run around like the wussy elf he is and collect some magical crap to save the princess... etc... Mario: Just run from one end to the next end of the level while hopping on midget monsters... etc...", because Halo is quite possibly one of the most shallow games I've ever played. It doesn't even attempt to do anything new in terms of gameplay, and basically, the ingame objectives in the Halo series are the same as every other damned FPS out there. All you tend to do is either "Go from point a to point b", "protect -insertnamehere-", "Protect -insertlocationnamehere-", "kill -x- number of enemies within time limit", "reach point b within -x- minutes", etc...
One more thing, calling people "retarded" isn't exactly a good way of winning an argument, especially for someone who claims to be "his school's finest debator".
Edit: Also, it appears that you think my taste in videogaming is limited to the likes of the Mario and Zelda series, well, you're wrong. I'm also a fan of Freelancer, Frets on Fire, Gunz, the FF Series, Chrono Trigger, Myst, the Max Payne series, the Doom series, The Elder Scrolls Series, StarSiege: Tribes, Sam & Max, KOTOR, the Worms series, the RETRO Sonic games, the Metroid Series, the Resident Evil series, The Sims series (occasionly), Perfect Dark (best FPS ever, period), the Megaman series, Blade Runner, Another World (most people haven't heard of this one, since it's one of the most hardcore videogames avalible), and the Phoenix Wright series, just to name a few.
