I am not laughing at Rare, Rare were my third favourite company and my first favourite company kicked 'em out to you guys. Oh no I'm laughing at the fact that Microsoft expect Rare to release 5 games in 2 years....

Trust me it won't happen.

A very idiotic thing to say. You have just tried to put down an undeniable classic in the FPS genre in two sentences. You forget the other 101 things it does extremely well. If you had spent any considerable amount of time with it you would know that, if you had played some multiplayer halo you wouldn't be able to forget it.

You mean in other words, you've 'lost'.

And I don't see anyone else doing that, maybe it's just you.

::stamping feet:: Your so stupid, you know nothing about games ! Waaaaaaaaaah, you have an opinion that doesn't lick the ground the X-Box rests on, that means your stupid and don't know anything !
Waaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh !!! ::throws dummy and crayons out the pram::

See how pathetic that is ? Thats basically you everytime someone has the cheek to enjoy their X-Box and (god forbid) say anything negative about Nintendo.

So you've never played a FPS before?

Halo didn't add a single new thing, plus the levels became tedious and repitive.

Oh and it was yet another "lone man saves the world" storyline. How original.

I didn't expect you to be bothered. Nobody is bothered about me, I just wanted you to know what somebody thought of you.

Oh no, I've lost Tribute's respect - think I'll go slash my wrists.

For me, Halo revolutionised the FPS experience. According to some though thats just disgusting and shouldn't be allowed to be said as its not a Nintendo game. As soon as I put out similar comments on Nintendo games, I might as well be marching through Iraq screaming "Israely and proud !"

I used to respect you. I thought you knew something about gaming. I was obviously wrong.

Has HALO not been done before?

Although you're way out when it comes to Gamecube games, we're no better when it comes to Xbox games so there's nothing to argue about really.


One thing about Animal Crossing. Yes, in terms of screenshots and basic concept it does look crap, it should be crap, but it's one of THOSE games...

Although I possibly wouldn't choose it over Halo or Perfect Dark (multiplayer games always have an edge over single player ones), I'd certainly choose it over a second first person shooter.

And GC owners don't do the same ? You make it sound like the whole world is against the poor GC. I see stupid comments made in the Nintendo forum all the time about X-Box, but I don't start rushing around and whining like a little nonce about it.
If you don't like stuff thats said in here - tough. Simple answer is to not come in here isn't it - its not like its rocket science to work out.
Do I go into the Nintendo forum and force my opinion on people ? No.
I've seen you slate the X-Box enough times in the past with stupid little clueless comments and thats in this forum let alone the Nintendo one.
I'm in the X-Box forum and I'll post what I bloody like - so you can sulk all you want. Like I said, you don't like it, well boo hoo.
At least I have enough respect to keep my issues with things like the GC in this forum.
Again my opinion thankyou, I was born with the freedom to have one.
I don't see how I consider my age to make me superior, if anyone else in here does, feel free to tell me.
I have my opinion on things and I stick to my guns just like others do.

I don't remember making any opinion on Doshin. It doesn't appeal to me but I haven't said anything about it.

Animal Crossing. From what I've seen, you go around as a character that looks like something out of a Lego Basic kit (the old one block type body with a head on top - dunno if they're still around). You get a house, mess around buying furniture and clothes and do things like chat to other residents and do little things such as chopping down trees and picking apples. For me, these elements are like the Sims from a different angle.

Cube not being innovative. New hand controllers and the GBA link cable which Sega did with the Neo Geo Pocket. And ?

Mario Sunshine. For me its a combination of Mario 64 and Mario World (on the Snes) with a waterpack. Oh, and you can slide.
Oh and don't forget the muck on the floor.

Haven't seen much on Doshin, but it looks like a cross between Populous and Black & White. Either way, I don't really have an opinion on this game and I'm not going to rush out to find out more either.
