Brushfire Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 I think Halo is still pretty fun but it is pretty basic in how people manipulate the respawns by moving to strategic parts of the map. To me, that's not cheating. The cheat I was refering to, is when people will bridge thier connection through thier computer, use Zone Alarm to see all incoming IP addresses, and then block them to lag you out of the game. I had completly ruined the game for me. That and it's fanbase is, at best, unruly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it the "UR GAY CUZ UR A N00B" crowd or the "My testicles haven't dropped yet, so I am the biggest douche in the world" crowd? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had completly ruined the game for me.That and it's fanbase is, at best, unruly. Hmm. Never happened to me or I was unaware of it the few times it might have happened. I don't really care about the ranks so maybe that has something to do with it. To me it's social or bust. The ranked servers have too much angst with the kill ratio. As for the fanbase, I typically think most huge guildies and certain segment of a fanbase tends to be a bunch of pigs anyway. That doesn't really exclude the Nintendo console crowd or the PC crowd to me. It has a ranking system right? Well there you go, everyone needs to grind their rank up. Yes, but it takes such a short time to level up whatever you want in the game, I don't really see it too much as a 'grinding' than just going for the goal and points. Besides, the rewards aren't anything special. A gold/digital painted weapon isn't really a big deal unless you're really striving for it. Also, unless you're some sort of a master gamer, it's really hard to find one niche and stick with it since the after-kill camera shows how you kill someone to the enemy. So I think the parity is just really good in CoD4, grind or no grind. A fresh faced newbie stands a real chance competitively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vivi22 Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Ikaruga:Worth the money? I liked the demo, but should I buy it? Yes you should. If you liked the demo at all then it is definitely worth buying. One of the best shooters I've ever played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BardicKnowledge Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 I'm on top of the world today -- I beat Ikaruga! Had to use continues, but it still feels awesome. Here's hoping I can get a replay up fairly soon (levels 4-5 are unfortunately still destroying me without continues). Prototype mode (unlocked by beating the game) is certainly interesting, btw. Also, is there anyone here crazy enough to have a workable solution for level 5's snakes in Dot Eater mode? I can't think of a way to stay alive without going all-out offense (killing them before they kill you). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and I cant get a ping lower than 400 too. I don't know why, but I've always preferred games for console rather than PC. Probably something about the controller rather than a keyboard and mouse. That being said; I wish TF2 on 360 had the new maps. All anyone ever plays is 2fort. ><;; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and I cant get a ping lower than 400 too. A very misleading statement as it's not true that "every one on the PC version cheats". For your high ping issues, have you tried servers that are within your current area of residence..? I've tried going to far eastern servers and had 350 s my ping more often than not. Just stuck with the eastern coast of the US and always get a 40 ping... Continuing with the ping issues, how is it that ur ping is better on the 360 than on the PC?

For some reason Xbox Live gets a better connection than my actual internet connection. For that I blame my ISP but Aim Botting runs rampant on the servers that I don't get kicked from for having the super high ping that I do. For some reason the Xbox Live has a better connection sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It contains an AMD 2.4 Dual Core, 4 GB RAM, and a 8800 GTS. So no, my computer is not a dinosaur. I'm telling you it is my ISP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Dude...IGN gave GTA 4 a 10/10. And made quite the bold claim: Oh sure, you'll still blow up cop cars, run down innocent civilians, bang hookers, assist drug dealers and lowlifes and do many, many other bad deeds, but at a cost to main character Niko Bellic's very soul. GTA IV gives us characters and a world with a level of depth previously unseen in gaming and elevates its story from a mere shoot-em-up to an Oscar-caliber drama. Every facet of Rockstar's new masterpiece is worthy of applause. Without question, Grand Theft Auto IV is the best game since Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Wow. This just made me really excited.
