View Thread : So... we were talking about Halo or something?


OB1
...

I dunno.

Private Hudson
Yah..

It's level design sucked and almost ruined the game.

OB1
Agreed. I wish we had more X-Box fanboys here so that we could have a real debate going on.

Sacred Jellybean
I'll be an X-Box fanboy.

I just beat Halo this morning and don't understand how any of you could say that the level designs sucked. You had alot of levels where you could use the flashlight which I loved and plenty of levels where you could use the vehicles. Not only that, but the flood was busting out of doors. There were also levels where you could shoot out the glass floor and enemies fell to the floor below. The game rocked. :cool:

OB1
I'll forgive your Halo gushing simply because you have a picture of "City of the Lost Souls" as your avatar! Notice my sig?

The level design in the last half of Halo sucked like shit because there were about four different areas repeated a hundred times. Seriously, the last half of the game shouldn't have been more than an hour long, but they kept on copying and pasting every single friggin' room and area over and over to the point of insanity! I'm sorry, but that's a pretty damned big fault, and because of this erroneous error the game shouldn't have gotten more than an 8/10 from reviewers. It's the worst case of mass overhyping of a video game ever. I couldn't believe it after I beat the game.

And then there's the Flood, which also helped to ruin the second half of the game. If I wanted to shoot several dozen mindless enemies non-stop I would have bought "Serious Sam". One of the main draws of Halo for me was the great AI of the Covenant soldiers, but then halfwy through the game they replace them with these stupid mindless drones!! That was a major dissapointment for me.

But that's all ok. Any fan of Takashi Miike is a friend of mine. :D

MgL
Well the whole point was that you returned to the same area where you started (Like a circle). The reason the areas looked the same was because it was the same ship you started the game at. Oh, and Bungie tried to imagine how a space ship in the future would look like. You're not going to get some cartoon like level design. Plus, the reason why you got tried with them were because they were so huge. Anyway when it is all said and done Halo is the best FPS ever... PERIOD

I got tired off the flood as you did, but I was getting tired of the Covenant during the middle part of the game, so the flood was refreshing at least up until the end where they got more rediculous than ever in numbers. It seems like they all died, and I pray to god that is the situation. I havn't read the book Halo is based on so I don't know.

OB1
Dude, the areas kept on repeating because MS bought Bungie and made them rush the game for the X-Box launch, simple as that!

So you're a big Miike fan, huh?

MgL
Yeah. The day before the forum went down I posted in a thread to see if you went to kfccinema because I noticed the crazybee image, but I don't think you saw it. I did see you post in the Kill Bill thread so forget that. ;)

Anyway yeah Miike is my movie god. So far I've seen four of his films. Here is how I would rate them...

1) City of Lost Souls (In a theatre)
2) Audition (R1 DVD)
3) Ichi the Killer (R3 HK DVD) <--- Got this one for free
4) DOA: Final (In a theatre)

I ordered the COLS R1 DVD a day or two before New Years so I hope it comes in next week. I wish I could bitch slap the people at Amazon because those freaks havn't even sent me shipping confirmation. :cuss: I just checked out my order and it says that it is shipped. -_-

I am definitely going to pick up the Ichi 2 disc set and the Happiness of the Katakuris disc that are comming up.

OB1
Yeah I stole the avatar from crazybee. Who are you at the KFC boards?

Private Hudson
Hey hey, now. Let's not go overboard, OB1. The second half of the game wasn't all bad - The Maw is still the best level in the game.

Everything else, I agree with OB1.

Also, how about in Halo 2.... they actually give us OBJECTIVES. In The only time there was anything other than "Shoot everything in site while moving from point A - B", was The Maw when you had to destroy the reactor (?).

That's annoying.

Did you use dvdpricesearch.com to look for the best price before you ordered it? Amazon is rarely the cheapest. Digitaleyes.net has it for $19 shipped. They're pretty fast, too.

And are those R1 DVDs of Ichi and Katakuris that you're talking about? I was about to order the HK Katakuris DVD...

Dark Jaguar
..Anyone besides Karen and I see the hilarious contradiction in the statement "I wish we had some...fanboys here so we could have a real debate"?

OB1
...Karen?

MgL
I didn't bother looking around for cheaper prices because Amazon is always good with lost items. I paid around $18 something for the disc because it was on sale during Christmas. With shipping it came out around $21 something.

The Ichi 2 disc set is an uncut Dutch R2 Pal release with English subtitles. The Katakuris disc is comming out in February and is a R1 disc from Ventura which did the R1 Audition and the R1 City of Lost Souls discs. I would hold out on the HK disc because if the COLS and Audition discs are any example of how that disc will end up, it will rule.

OB1
Ah, ok. I was hoping for a R1 Ichi release. I could always watch the Dutch DVD on my Cyber Home player, but I couldn't lend it to some of my friends. Guess I have no choice though.

MgL
Well, Media Blasters picked up R1 rights for Ichi, but here are two downsides so far...

1) Media Blasters suck ass (I've heard their R1 Fudoh disc sucks badly)...
2) They picked up the rights during the summer but there really hasn't been any info so far on the DVD.

OB1
Blast. Is the Dutch DVD uncut?

Private Hudson
Hey now, you two cocksuckers should stay on topic.

OB1
*gasp*!!! YOU STFU!!! STFUIUSTFDUF!!!!
