"Yey! I got my CPU....I mean Xbox today...."

Cancelled my online order and decided to treck down to the shops and get one, I hate waiting.

So far I'm not at all impressed.....with the weight, only took me about 5 minutes to get home, in that short space of time I had to keep swapping arms that I was carrying the bag in because they were aching so much. Thank god the shops are only a few minutes from my house, i'd have had to get a taxi otherwise. What really made me laugh was the girl behind the till put the console in a bag and as she was passing it to me, the handles broke.

Anyway I got Halo (of course) MGS2: Substance and Jet Set Radio Future. So far from what i've played of Halo it's gonna be a bloody brilliant game, excellent mass battle type things and most of the guns rock my socks. ONe thing I don't like is the bit on the 2nd level where you have to drive the Warthog, those things handle terribly, i just wanted to get out and shoot stuff normally. Small gripe though because the rest of the stuff i've done rocked.

JSR: future from what i've played is gonna be just as good as the 1st game if not better, not particuarly enthralled by the new graffiti method or the lamp post climbing but i'll get used to it.

Haven't bothered with MGS2 yet.

So far so good then, first product i've ever owned from Microsoft that i've been completly satisfied with.

Which backs up Whitestripes point about what happens when you disagree with Goatboy, you get attacked back, whereas if you agree nothing is said...

Ah, who cares ?

Now lets analyse why Whitestripes wrote this:

Goatboy criticised Whitestripes for presenting his view on a game.

Said criticism can apply to this statement by Mr Snuggly.

Whitestripes doesn't think Mr. Snuggly is trying to change people's opinions.

Whitestripes merley used it to prove his point that he was only expressing his view just as Mr. Snuggly was.

He was also pointing out that Goatboy didn't criticise Mr. Snuggly for doing essentially the same thing as Whitestripes.

Whitestripes wasn't trying to change people's minds and neither was Mr. Snuggly.

This is what Whitestripes is trying to say.

Naturally not everyone understands this.

Do you ever read anything Whitestripes writes? His always sarcastic that is what makes him so brilliant. He was merley using snuggers as an example of a prime example of someone using their opinion.

Why do you always pi$$ me off Goatboy?

Oh I know... mutters:- bloody notable election..

Everyone screams: "GET OVER IT DRINGO"

Ok. So what if the single player levels are samey as Halo comes into its own in multiplayer- everything just clicks. The balance of the combat and weapons becomes so apparant. Tilt, you say you don't like the plasma rifle, but in multiplayer generally I would pick it up over the assault rifle anyday the freezing effect it has on the person you blast really pizzes em off. :P The shotgun is so effective up close, the sinper of course is perfect far away. Even the plasma gun is useful for charge up shots. Melee hits, the different grenades and the all important veichles make a multipler which is so varied and well thought out. It is one section of the game which could never be called repetive.

The gametyes are all very playable. You won't stick to playing slayer as you will want to explore and try out unique options like plantom and race. Completely customiseable multiplayer modes are available too so there is NOTHING to moan about. Not to mention once you get to know Blood Gulch like the back of your hand you realise it screams good level design, not like the single player.

So in short, buy a link up cable and get you mates/make new friends who have and xbox and sample great xbox gaming. Oh yes.

were 2 arguments. Sorry.

Yes. There's actually was 2 arguments, one spilled over from another forum.

So yet another topic ends in argument.

Pull your pants up then!

*waits*

Fine, beleive what you want. But that was the truth.


I don't see the point anymore, I really don't.
