God Halo...the most overrated game in HISTORY! I wish my Xbox still worked though, cause I wanted to get Fable. I'm hoping Nintendo pulls something big out this year. Unlike last years terrible showing. Mario 128 would be huge.

I agree with you that Halo is one of the most overrated games ever, but it is still a good game.... not one of the best ever like everybody says but its still a fun game.... Now Halo 2 is gonna rock.... no doubt there... I even heard a rumor that they were gonna have a playable Demo of Halo 2 at E3 this year!!! :D
...
:lol:

Peanut 05-10-2004 11:12 AM

As long as they don't repeat the same sh*t over and over again like the first one, it should be better.

Wow, notice how many of those have 2s or 3s after their name? lol.

Halo 2?

An I the only one not interested in this game?

I mean, I finally got to play the first one last weekend...and I just wasn't impressed. The game does nothing any other first person shooter hasn't already done.

Also, the Spongebob Movie is due out in November, so expect another craptacular Spongebob game.

LoL... yeah... but who really cares about the single player... the multiplayer is where its at... hopefully they have more maps and stuff to play at...
...
I just caught a peek at the New prince of Persia 2 screens.... cool stuff... but i'm wondering how there going to continue the story from the last game... it kinda had a weird ending...
...
:lol:

Peanut 05-10-2004 11:16 AM

Craptacular? Have you even PLAYED Battle for Bikini Bottom?? That was a great platformer! As far as Halo 2 goes...I was excited for it when it was first announce, but now I couldn't care less.

damnhooligan 05-10-2004 11:16 AM

I'm curious, out of that long list, how many of them will not suck?

The suck to not-suck ratio doesn't seem to be in my favour.

Peanut 05-10-2004 11:19 AM

I'd say very VERY few will end up being any good at all.

Actually, no I haven't.

All I've played are the GBA games, the Flying Dutchman game, and one of the PC games.

None of them were exactly the greatest thing out there.

Just to note, I really like Spongebob. It's just that so far it hasn't translated into a videogame quite well yet.

Yes I have... I own it... its own of my favourite platformer games of all time... and Spongebob is my hero... he's got another game coming out made by the same people who made Battle for Bikini Bottom... I can't wait for it to come out... its based on the new "full-length" movie coming out....
..
As for Halo 2... I've already preordered a copy of it...

If you like Spongebob and you've never played it...well get your ass to the video store buddy! It's a great game and it's chok FULL of Spongebob humor and style.

I'm personally looking for good RPGs, and I'm only seeing a certain few. I am excited about Metroid Prime 2 and Resident Evil 4, though.

I'll take a look at Metroid 2, despite having traded the first one in after 2 days...

I heard the new paper mario 2 was gonna have alot of RPG elements... or you could always go with Fable... its supposed to be really really good... Personally though I'm going with KOTOR 2... it looks like its gonna be sweet...

I think 10 years ago was the first E3... I'm not sure really... and games? all sorts... somebody posted a list on the first page of this thread if you wanna look...

Peanut 05-10-2004 12:31 PM

I'm not sure. It's been around for awhile, but I'm pretty sure it was after the SNES days.

愛 05-10-2004 12:32 PM

Probably when Playstation and N64 came around is when they started it.

Peanut 05-10-2004 12:37 PM

97 keeps popping into my head, but I don't know!

Eye of Sarnath 05-10-2004 12:46 PM

Knights of the Old Republic II. Enough said.

And Dragon Age, the new RPG by Bioware (the guys who developed the first KOTOR).

No Doom 3 for PC = :cry:

Silly me, how could I forget Metal Gear Solid 3 too?

The suck to not-suck ratio doesn't seem to be in my favour.

The same could be said about alot of the entertainment industry. What's the ratio for movies? Books? TV shows? You just have to wade through the crap to get to the good stuff.

The new game is free roaming around Manhatten (they've recreated the all of Manhatten) with realistic physics, including a revamped web swinging mode which puts more control in your hands. They've also revamped the combat system, making it more in depth, complete with air juggles. The game is also only loosely based on the movie, with more seeming to be inspired by the comics. I don't see how it can be bad.

Voltron 05-10-2004 03:42 PM

The game does sound promising.

malignant 05-10-2004 03:51 PM

Yes, the games will be nice...

But its rumored they're also be showing PS3, Xbox next, Gamecube 2....and the awaited Phantom at at E3..woot !

and its rumored SEGA will once again launch a console to compete with the other big 3...

can we say Dreamcast 2 anyone?.. :P
