Nice.

Keep it going. I want 200 pages.

Obviously I do but it's still ever so slightly off.

Holy shit when will people get over halo. It wasn't even that good.

I gotta get the Outer Heaven logo and complete motherbase.

Don't bother. The way that the emblem creator is setup doesn't allow for the logo to be centered properly. It's too much to the right.

It makes my OCD go crazy.

167, standing by.

Ishmael has so much personality, Ahab has... none. Listen to Ishmael in the beginning. He's spouting action movie one-liners like it's nothing. "We gave her a light, she took the short way down." "Nothing like a little digoxin to get ya' back in the game."

I too saw the Super Bunnyhop review

What?

Sometimes I feel like I live in a backwards world.

I thought that Reach was pretty fun.

It's a sequel to 3 other games, so there's really no point to this redundant part of your post.

That is NOT what I meant.

I was trying to get you to understand that Halo 4 is ONLY good when compared to it's predecessors. Which weren't good.

So. . .

Well I guess it's a good fucking thing you're told by The Librarian then, aye?
She literally tells you that he hates Humanity because they were killing Forerunners.

Forgot about that.

Still, he's not nearly fleshed out enough to be considering deep.

Still though...I mean, I have to let Kojima take liberties because the Metal Gear universe is fucking weird already, but I find it hard to grasp that a comatose man was hypnotized into being an exact replica of Big Boss.

Oh, I totally agree. I wasn't advocating that the twist was any good. I was simply explaining it.

It fucking hate it.

Exactly. Venom had zero presence, while Ishmael just carried the hospital mission on his back.

It's just really a shame. I mean, why pay for Kiefer Sutherland (who undoubtedly costs more than any other voice actor at their disposal) and NOT use him? He's amazing in the Ground Zeroes cassette tapes. "What a load of bullshit..."

He has such a perfect voice for the character.

True...from a lore/story point of view that's pretty cool.

From the game's point of view....it's just a giant "Huh?"

Yeah... again, I fucking hated how it was executed.

And Mission 43 really was a great mission.  It tugged at me and just made me feel a sense of absolute dread whenever you heard "Staff member has died."

With the Peace Walker theme playing on the cassette player... ugh, so perfect.

You're more emo and like MGS now?

Lol, pretty much.

Character development
An actual plot that makes sense

As a stand-alone game, Halo 4 fails by those standards. Only when comparing it to it's predecessors does it become "good."

EU acknowledgement ("b-but i have to read books" fuck off, no you don't. pay attention to the game you're playing)

Let's be honest, though. If you didn't know why the Didact hated humanity or who he even was, you were pretty lost and he's a pretty shallow villain.

To deny that is just ridiculous.

Isn't that on the Wii?

It's on both Wii and GC.

Is it better on the GC? Which one is the definitive version?

I mean, it would be pretty annoying if I came to your MGS thread and said Metal Gear Solid was an okay game and everything else after it went downhill after it

Well, that's your prerogative. And that's an even less apt comparison than you may think, considering my opinion aligns closely with Verbatim's, and isn't that out-of-place.

and began to put Halo on a pedestal as if it were the Super Kami Pope Prime....Guru.

Well at that point I wouldn't take you seriously, anyways.

Jet Force Gemini

Adding.

Twilight Princess

Isn't that on the Wii?

Metroid Prime

Definitely.

this sucks this sucks this sucks this sucks this sucks

It's true, though.

play this franchise instead because i poke my bumhole to it

No. I want him to play a good game instead of wasting his time with CE.

don't get me started on excelling in CQC

Poorly explained in cassette tapes. He was apparently the best soldier MSF had, and when they brainwashed him to have Jack's memories, I assume he gained a little experience. I like to think of it as a similar concept to Assassin's Creed's "Bleed-through effect", where the user can gain all the knowledge and skill of his ancestor by reliving their past or whatever.

mannerisms, etc to the point where he can act like BB without anyone suspecting it

I chock it up to him looking a lot like Jack. I mean, if you look like Big Boss, but act just a little bit different from him, no one's going to really suspect anything.

It's something I really enjoyed between the GZ Big Boss and Ahab. Ishmael has so much personality, Ahab has... none. Listen to Ishmael in the beginning. He's spouting action movie one-liners like it's nothing. "We gave her a light, she took the short way down." "Nothing like a little digoxin to get ya' back in the game."

Is Venom the BB that Snake kills in Metal Gear then, or is it the original BB?

Venom Snake is MG1 Big Boss (notice how he doesn't talk that much?) and Big Boss is MG2 Big Boss (notice how chatty he is?)

There's obviously plenty of content to make you feel like it's warranted for $60

Ehh... I've put over 150 hours into it and realised that most of what I was doing was just, simply, repetitive. The open-infiltration concept does what it can but at a certain point...

it just makes certain scenes like Mission 43 feel like a big waste of time.

Agreed. Especially since it was the best mission in the game.
