I was just on Amazon.com (the world's best store) and I happened to notice Halo 3 listed. It's not even out yet and it has a four-star rating. I hate anyone who rates a product that has yet to be released, so that's not why hardcore gamers suck. This is: what really gets under my skin is the firestorm that shows up if someone leaves a comment saying they don't like the game.
"OMG noob ur such a noob halo liek teh best gam ever lol!!11"
Half of it's that kind of keyboard vomit, the other half is people on their preachy high horse talking about how Halo is the best game series ever, revolutionary, will bring death and destruction on Sony's games, blah blah blah.
Revolutionary?
I played Halo when it first came out, and it was far from revolutionary. The storyline's a mix of Doom and the X-Files, and while it may be a great console shooter, graphically and control-wise it's inferior to PC games years older than it. It plays like Quake 2 did. I don't hold these things against the game, just the idiots who spew out the bullshit accolades.
So sorry boys and girls, I don't think Halo 3 will be bringing the pixelated nirvana you're so convinced it will.
In other news, I can't wait to see Spider-Man 3 but I'm too swamped in final projects to take a break. Hopefully it'll have a real long theater run and I can see it on the big screen after I'm done with school.
Song of the night is "It Doesn't Matter" by Alison Krauss and Union Station. Beautiful.
