Sessler, Ur an awesome man! lol

I don't necessarily hate Halo 3, but I don't understand what makes it so incredible that people are willing to jump in front of buses to get their hands on a copy.

It's a good game, but I do think it gets much more hype than it deserves.

Posted by binlandi - Thursday, October 11, 2007 9:32 AM
Im so glad someone finally said this. Im tired of people who slam things just for the attention.. if you hate halo 3 thats becuase momy and dady dont love you and youd rather play ET for the 2600.. you fools know nothing about bungie and the great work theyve done.

that was funny

Posted by alreadyreloading - Thursday, October 11, 2007 9:38 AM
THANK YOU. And yeah, you're right BinLandi. People are obnoxious and absolutely retarded. "Ur all Xbots, cuz u like Halooooo! LOLZ!"(in a whiny, loser voice) is what the people who actually enjoy Halo and think it's awesome constantly hear from these haters.

I am so glad he delivered the smackdown like that. Thank you Sessler.

Halo is a great game. And Halo 3 sort of brings back the greatness that Halo 2 didn't have. Halo 2 might as well be called Halo: Online.

I agree with Adam. Unless you have something legitimate to say about Halo, there really is no warrent. I am a firm believer of a great Single player campaign and Halo 3 brought back the fun into that. Sure, its not the BEST game of the year, but it sure was fun.

I'm going back to Portal.

i can agree with sessler but to be honest i have mixed feelings, i also too believe it is over hyped but at same time, compared to all the next gen material that has come out thus far nothing is as fun as halo 3. Keyword "FUN"
but I still remain unimpressed by any of the "next gen" games and consoles out right now. The last time i was impressed by a console or rather the last time a console set the bar significantly higher was when the dreamcast first came out, to me. Then ps2 and xbox just followed with better execution.

Posted by GamerNx - Thursday, October 11, 2007 9:58 AM
Thank you 305, and the sad thing is that the dreamcast games still looked better than most of what was on the ps2 in the begining, Grandia 2 being the prime example.

Posted by Decipher812 - Thursday, October 11, 2007 10:25 AM
Well I bought Halo cuz all my friends were getting it. And let's face it ..360 is meant to play online because 1st player games are not as good as PS3 games. After playing the game I still don't see what is so great about it. It's a good game, but not great. So inconsistent. I shoot a dude w/ a full clip .. melee him and guess what I die for just one melee from him..It get me so fustrated when that happens. But honestly Halo 3 in my eyes is a dissapointment for the hype it received. Kind of like Spiderman 3.

Well ofcourse I espect Sessler to love this game. He's the biggest 360 fanboy in G4. Actually the whole G4 team are MS fanboys. I'm just a gamer, but don't like when they bash the PS3. Come on the PS3 doesn't even have a year under it's belt. MS has 2 years already and they still have console problems.

Well to all of you who bought Halo 3..if you like it and have fun w/ it. Good for you and don't let know one else tell you it sucks..

Posted by smeginthuhead - Thursday, October 11, 2007 10:27 AM
LOL if you are going to rant at least make one complete sentence.

I thought the game was a little short, but it was fun. The multilayer is good too so that makes up for the short campaign. Truth be told though Halo is about the multiplayer so I don't blame Bungie for focusing on it. Wish Halo Ds would come out.

Posted by mgs4gotp - Thursday, October 11, 2007 10:33 AM
Ok, I have to disagree with Adam on this one. I have played each single Halo and yet they have seemed to amaze me. The game is unbalanced. I load a clip into a person, and yet they have time to turn around and kill me with a few shots of the same gun as i was using. I dont like the fact that i have to *hit* someone in order to kill them instead of just shooting. Not only that, the campaign was short and the controls worked fine, but some of things felt tacked on. I dunno, i'm not trying to convince anyone NOT to buy the game, but basically, if my opinion doesnt matter, then why should anyone else opinion matter on how much they love the game.

Posted by mgs4gotp - Thursday, October 11, 2007 10:34 AM
They have NOT seemed to amaze me. I mean to write that. sorry

Posted by Dukefnnukem - Thursday, October 11, 2007 10:42 AM
PS3 seriously needs to get a good fps under their belt. Sure RFOM was pretty good, but the multi-player sucks @ss. MGS is the only thing that can truly save this giant turd of a system. I own both 360 and PS3 and I can honestly say that the only thing I am using my PS3 for right now is Heavenly sword and running Linux. To say that G4 is in bed with MS is just stupid. Does nobody remember the red ring of death video they did. If that wasn't a dig at MS I don’t' know what is. So Sony.... please transform our $600 giant black turd into a uber gaming machine.

Posted by hetman - Thursday, October 11, 2007 10:42 AM
I like halo 3 a lot. I think I will always remember the originial halo as the best in the series. Their is just nothing like the pistol in halo 1. I actually ended up buying a 360 just for halo.

BOOOO YAAAAA.... YOU GO BOY.... HALO 3 ROCKS... DUDE, I ENDED THAT GAME 3 TIMES AND I DON'T CARE... I KEEP GOING BACK FOR MORE... THERE IS A SATISFACTION THAT HALO GIVES THAT NO OTHER FPS GIVES YOU... ALL YOU HALO 3 HATERS.. EAT IT... IT'S THE BEST GAME FPS ON THE PLANET, HANDS DOWN. AS YOU CAN SEE, I DID NOT MENTION NOTHING TO THE SONY FANBOYS, BECAUSE THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ANYTHING, I FELT THE SAME FOR GOD OF WAR TOO, BUT HALO 3.... SORRY MAN... IT'S JUST THAT GOOD.. NOT MUCH OF A STORY, NOT MUCH OF GRAPHIC EYE CANDY, BUT THE GAME PLAY AND ALL THE THINGS YOU CAN DO... BY FAR THE BEST EVER... THAT'S WHAT GAMES ARE MISSING... THAT ASPECT OF GAME PLAY.

Posted by GeneGeneration - Thursday, October 11, 2007 11:04 AM
the firt time i played halo was on my friends xbox, and as someone who played a lot of fps games... i found halo pretty dumbed down, boring, and poorly designed.... not to mention how dated the graphics looked even when it first came out. its just not a great game. however, if i owned an xbox, and that was the only fps game at the time for it... then sadly, i probably would have bought it.

and by the way, fnck adam...i'm surprised he has enough time to take bill gates d!ck out of his mouth even to play halo.

I agree that H3 is fun, cool and great. BUT why
all of a sudden you cant be critical if a game
that comes up short if its not published by Sony. Im not going to elaborate, just think about it. Furthermore, im a Sessler fan; but that being said, at least i have a REAL one to stick in my mouth, not a strap-on like you have to use, Adam.

Posted by SkyAnimal - Thursday, October 11, 2007 11:08 AM
So, the network that usually gets and notices all the hype and flames of anything, and ignores them, and here they are responding to a particular flaming for one franchise. Uhm... doing something to draw in more of a market and latch unto the Halo 3 hype machine?

Posted by bgh01 - Thursday, October 11, 2007 11:24 AM
i totally agree, i normally dont chime in on flame wars ( i own PS3,360 and PC), so this caught me little off guard, also. of course, its an editorial-style opinion piece, and Adam has i right to his opinion, BUT, he could've expressed it without the insult at the end. especially knowing the flamefilled consequences
of that insult.

Posted by neonchez - Thursday, October 11, 2007 11:33 AM
i have never said i hate halo. hate is to strong of a word to use toward a game. i do dislike it, though. i have not played halo 3 yet but i have played 1 and 2, neither really stood out to me as amazing, single or multi-player. adam also said the control scheme is better than any fps but it seemed the same as any other fps control scheme to me. generic gameplay, generic graphics, generic story, generic hero, generic controls. all around generic game. but hey, if you like it, play it. what do i care? it's no skin off my nose.

i like halo 3, its not my favorite game though. my favorite game right now is between bioshock and skate. i mean ya it does have original qualities, but its not the BEST game out there.

Posted by bollingedward - Thursday, October 11, 2007 11:51 AM
He is a funboy i mean fanboy of halo when they had the launch special he looked happier than a f*ggot with a bag of electric d*cks. i was a first time halo player and for him to say forget the graphics forget the time limit it take to beat the game and the campaign mode then if thats the case you got to do that for other games. Thats why you cant get reviews of games when you are a fun boy i mean fanboy cuz you look bias and say bias things. Microsoft didnt pay him to say that he did it bcuz he loves master chief and he wants to masturbate him.

You wanna set a date bitch, where you at?
Or do you wanna know where I am, cause I will tell dickhead, I played all those pieces of crap and thats what they are.
And for my comments about a pasty, Surge-drinking spazz, who can't sit still for 2 f*cking seconds is how I see it , so I call it.
Halo 1,2,3 are a bunch of rubber ass grafx, with only a few things in it to make it acceptable.Be a little lemming and let them lead you off that cliff.Resistance FoM looks better plays better and sounds better, only thing was they did'nt flesh out the multiplayer.
BioShock should be the game of year.
I am on the south side of Chicago,just ask for the address and we set it up, so me and my Latin Kings and Vice Lords can stomp your ass,f*cking punk.

What is it, ever since the PS3 has been out people been bashing on it. There is no question the PS3 will be the best system in 2008. The Xbox 360 just won't be able to match the technology and power the PS3 games will have. I mean has anyone seen Killzone 2, MGS4, Haze.

Posted by WildfireFox - Thursday, October 11, 2007 11:57 AM
Eh. People can like Halo 3. For me, it doesn't hold any interest to me. I'm not an FPS kinda guy unless it has a good style to it. Heck, the last FPS I enjoyed was Timesplitters 2. But, I'm afraid Adam has a bit of a teeter totter of terror to overcome. In order to try to give one game a free pass from scrutiny, you have to give every game a free pass from it. I'm not talking about reviewers; I'm talking about just about everyone else.

If someone is allowed to talk abut other games they don't like that they haven't played, then it's perfectly alright for someone else to say it about Halo. Checks and balances.

Posted by sjohnson - Thursday, October 11, 2007 12:02 PM
While we're all amused by your feuds (seriously) let's keep the threats of violence and personal insults out of it, okay? You can disagree and not hate each other.

Posted by madmax92 - Thursday, October 11, 2007 12:03 PM
I have played Halo 3, I have a 360. The truth is the game does have major flaws. To short campaign, seems exactly like Halo 2, graphics aren't much of a improvement.

Posted by tallgollumguy - Thursday, October 11, 2007 12:03 PM
all i ask is move on. I don't hate halo, i'll play it, but i've heard enough about it to make me want to vomit. I think if people talked about it for the story i would be better about it. I just hate multiplayer, there are only two multiplayers that are good to me: 1) World of Warcraft, and 2) Socom. Socom is solid fun, and u don't have to hear whiney bitches on the other team talking about how big there dicks are(Sessler!) halo just isn't as big a deal to unlike half-life2. Halo has nothing compared to it. So if bungie wants my attention, grow some balls and develop an awsome story that people talk about, not about how retards pwn each other online.

Posted by FireandBrimstone - Thursday, October 11, 2007 12:22 PM
Halo is a great game but to receive all the hype that it has gotten is just dumb. I have mad respect for Halo because it was the first game to truly successfully start on-line gaming but the same Halo seems like it has been remade with new additions, if that was the case they should have gone oblivion style with just patches of the new levels ass add-ons. BTW Bioshock is by far a more revolutionary game and the graphics look stellar not to mention the sound. Sessler if you dont care about the campaign being short then why did you hate on Heavenly Sword so much all X-play did was hate on how short it was. Dont get my wrong i love g4tv but they do seem biased towards the 360.BTW The d**k in the mouth was not necessary either what are we in 7th grade?

Posted by bgh01 - Thursday, October 11, 2007 12:23 PM

Adam started the insults with his sophomoric comments, so if if you're going to chastise anyone begin with the original violator.

Halo 3 is awesome. Deal with it.

Posted by Kensuke - Thursday, October 11, 2007 12:39 PM
Okay, I have to say to all the people who told Adam to "#uck off" Do you really think that he is going to come back and read this post? You might as well be yelling at an intimate object. The worst he is going to do is come to see how many agree with him, not how many dont. If he saw it the will go "Oh look anouther hot head yellin at me...siigh" and move on. But if you get satisfaction outta yellin at an person for ranting then I should be yelling at you, correct? Well none the less, I thought Halo 3 was a good game, of course there have and will be better games. I also thought the games story line was kinda short, but made up for that with multiple difficulties. I didn't really buy the game for the actual game, I bought it for online experience.

@ 360sucks..

Why do you have a name like that and come into a 360 sight? Why not just stick to what you like and not spoil everyone else's good time with negative comments and threats. Yes resistance ROM Was a good game, and would have been an even better online player, but need you yell/threat someone on a 360 game? I'm sure there are people who hated Resistance ROM as much as you hated Halo, and they even posted on that page, but do you think that you are better then them by posting your hate on this page? It only saddens me to see someone who is in with the "Vice Lords" and so on....but on the internet my friend, you might as well be living in your mothers basement.

everyone who's posted here is well aware how successful the game is and i agree is pretty good, however my issue is that someone who is
expected to be unbiased is taking a definite
position on a game made by one certain company
and praising that game while damning another
game made by a different company that shares
similar shortcomings. (ie. Heavenly Sword)

Wow alot of people bought a ps3. I know your angry but soon good games will come out when the price is down 2 3 hundred bucks, but hey it could of been worse. If you would have bought a 360 and had a couple hundred bucks left over ... you most likely would have got you self a foreign prostitute and contracted 9 1/2 STDs. So just think of it this way a STD is worse the wasting 600 bucks.

Posted by jman03 - Thursday, October 11, 2007 1:33 PM

Let me rephrase that:

I believe that Adam Sessler's advice also applies to Ps3 haters.

There you go.

Posted by panzerfist - Thursday, October 11, 2007 1:55 PM
What is it about the time it takes to beat halo that's such a big problem? People say it's too short. Well my God you mean to tell me there's FPSs out there that play more like RPGs in length? I've played mainly FPSs since i've played games and i've NEVER seen a game play much longer than halo games. One thing is halo brings a few unique pieces to FPSs that most people won't notice due to how generic they think they are. The atmosphere is really unique but no one seems to notice. If you don't like it then you don't like it but don't act like your opinion is truth

Posted by bgh01 - Thursday, October 11, 2007 2:03 PM

Posted by Jubilantgravestone - Thursday, October 11, 2007 2:52 PM
So hilarious. Both just the amusement of this rant and 360sucksass' desperate attempt at converting everyone into thinking that the 360 sucks ass. Halo 1, 2, and 3 are good games, whether you deny it or not. I do in fact own a copy, and I think it's a very good game. But when people, like 360sucksass, try to preach their word (when no one actually gives a rat's ass) to those who own and like that console, it's funny to see them wallow aimlessly trying to sound legitimate. Also, I will not argue that Bioshock was a good game, because it was. But dissing an obviously good game? South Side you say? Don't forget to bring your "Latin Kings and Vice Lords." How cute, trying to sound tough.

Posted by Crapsh00t - Thursday, October 11, 2007 3:06 PM
After playing through it twice, I thought it was pretty ok. Nothing here that should be drop dead impressive to seasoned gamers. Not a bad game, but it's like playing the Mac version of Doom. (Yes, I know.) To top it off we had an ad campaign that indicated a truly adult and epic storyline and instead were rewarded with a deflated Saturday morning Sci-Fi show: "TILL NEXT WEEK, CORTANA!"

Sessler seems to have his head screwed on right... but then he tells me that "two Scarab battle" is the most epic thing ever?

Perhaps he should kick it back 2 years and play Shadow of the Colossus again. That game had plenty of issues on it's own but just about any one of those battles was SIGNIFICANTLY more impressive than any battle in Halo 3.

and that tough guy act at the end sounds like Sessler's been playing a little too much Xbox Live...

Posted by Mario1098 - Thursday, October 11, 2007 3:12 PM
Adam Sessler doesn't know what he's talking about the Halo frachise has always sucked

Posted by freeway8989 - Thursday, October 11, 2007 3:57 PM
Crapshot, um, I'm pretty sure that he never said that those battles were the *most* epic battles ever, just that they were pretty epic, and they were.

Also, to people complaining about Halo's shortness: if you played it on easy or normal, then PLEASE, GTFO. The game is meant to be played on AT LEAST heroic. Normal and easy are for the scrubs and likewise the people who will never get to experience the full potential of the game because they suck. Those complaining about Halo being "unbalanced" because of some gripes about meleeing should also STFU. That kind of description is a clear indication that you suck. And when you suck at a game, then you obviously won't enjoy it.

I'm not telling you to like Halo, but at least reserve your judgment until you've played it properly and not while being breast-fed.

Its no better than any other good FPS, so all the attention it gets is absurdly unwarranted. As a matter of fact, Half-Life deserves equal, if not more, attention that Halo -_-

Busiris,

Actually, it DOES deserve the praise that's it's getting. While from a campaign standpoint, Halo 3 was great, but not excellent, its multiplayer component has brought together gamers in a way that no console game has before.

Besides, all of the attention that it gets is user-generated. So the only reason Halo gets so much attention is because of its large fanbase. And if a game has THAT large a fanbase, then it's pretty undeniable that they did SOMETHING right.

I still stand by my statements that Halo is boring and over-hyped and that Bungie is a one trick pony. There are so many better FPS's around that require tactics and skill.

“Hey look at me, Halo 3 sucks! Because it’s so popular and has received a lot of praise, saying that it sucks makes me so cool and different! If you actually enjoyed Halo 3, that makes you a stupid Microsoft sheep! And G4, you are paid by Microsoft because you did lots of reports on one of the biggest releases in gaming history. Shame on you!” – Generic Halo Hater

Such bull crap…

That last statement was so poetic, it had me in tears. These kinds of speeches should show up more during the show, this one was great!

PistolWipp

I could have sworn I replied earlier, but my post is missing. I apologize if I double post. Also, I'll sum up from my missing post.

Halo is boring because it's the same FPS I've been playing since 1993. It's also the same FPS I've been playing online since 1997. Halo is single handedly the reason the console market has been flooded with sh7tty FPSes and is also why everyone was whining last year that the game market was so stagnant. The only thing special about Halo was it a online console FPS that didn't suck b@lls. That's it.

Other FPSes that are better than Halo are included in the following list:

Half-life (any of them), Counter Strike (yes, even crappy old CS 1.3), TFC, TF2, the Battlefield Series, Ghost Recon, the Rainbow Six Series, Enemy Territory: Quake Wars, and Bioshock.

i have never said i hate halo. hate is to strong of a word to use toward a game. i do dislike it, though. i have not played halo 3 yet but i have played 1 and 2, neither really stood out to me as amazing, single or multi-player. adam also said the control scheme is better than any fps but it seemed the same as any other fps control scheme to me. generic gameplay, generic graphics, generic story, generic hero, generic controls. all around generic game. but hey, if you like it, play it. what do i care? it's no skin off my nose.

#1 if you have not played H3 you have no right to comment on it. To claim it is generic when it set the standards is completely asinine.

#2 Rock on Adam. I have new respect for you. I always thought you were a Canadian ponce but damn you grew some and laid it out. I can respect that.

#3 Halo 3 Campaign was fun from beginning to end. Much better than the H2 campaign. I have beaten it on Heroic and plan to go back and beat it on Legendary soon.

#4 Best multiplayer on a console period.

It's funny how few people are in the middle. The people who think it's pretty good, and while not the best game ever (stop saying so crazy xbots), and it's definitely not bad (same to you moronic PS3 fanboys), it's still...watch this....pretty good.

Those in the middle seem to get the least of the fanboy hatred, and i like that

Halo 3 is good but Orange Box just blows Halo away.
But I don't care if you're a Halo freak or not, you can't deny (unless you're a brain dead f*cktard) that Halo 3 was waaaaaaaaaaaaaay over hyped.

Yeah so Halo is a good game though I never really caught into all the hype. Halo 3 just isn't next gen, its the same game with slightly better graphics. I quite playing games and then caught all the next-gen hype and started playing again to experiences new types of control schemes, gameplay, and realistic graphics, not to play the same games over again with slightly better graphics. Thats why I don't see why games like Halo and Devil May Cry get hyped out and games like Heavenly Sword and Lair get bashed when they are new types of experiences and way better graphics. And for the record I like RFOM way better than Halo mainly because of the weapons and weapon system. Only jealous of Halos recording feature.

As you might be able to tell that I created this account just to answer to this ad.

But way to be an unbiased journalist. Unless you aren't aware you are. You are just an old, balding wannabe gamer. Give it up. Preaching to the choir won't get you far.

Yes Halo 3 sucks. And yes I care about the fact that Bungie and MS lied on so many occasions. Why? Because I hate being f***** up the a**. Maybe you don't. And neither do your legions of acne faced fans.

I Agree Decipher812 i think its dumb to bash on the PS3 in an earlier article saying that the wii will be coming out with more games than 360 by 2009 it shows that ps3 is out with the same amount of games compared to time out. of course 360 is going to have more games its had more time. i am impressed with the ps3 though i think this system can stand up to time when the 360 seems to be crashing because of quick development. all 3 systems have their buck but look at the games for 360 during the same time as ps3 and then u can compare. hope that made sense

Posted by Grievus - Thursday, October 11, 2007 10:18 PM
I don't see what's so generic about Halo. In my mind there isn't a Sci Fi FPS in recent memory that's half as interesting, fun, or successful-and don't you dare say Bioshock because you know as well as I do that the two games are nothing like each other except the fact that they're both in first person. I mean, you can't even compare it to another Human versus Alien game because the flood are like zombies! So now its Human and Alien vs. other Alien vs Zombies. Does that sound even remotely familiar? I didn't think so.

Posted by Logan22 - Thursday, October 11, 2007 10:44 PM
Seriosuly, people really seem to forget that there were well done FPS games on consoles long before Halo especially on the PS2 during it's first year. I understand if u think Halo games are so great, but only if you've never played a FPS before in your life before Halo, that's the only way i can understand it...

Posted by Kelsipher - Thursday, October 11, 2007 11:33 PM
I believe it's a very good game. I just don't understand why people obsess over it and play it non stop. And I've seen many cases where people are buying 360's just so they can play halo 3.

Posted by OwnerOfAll3 - Thursday, October 11, 2007 11:43 PM
i initially but my xbox to play halo one which was good but xbox also had sega games which i wanted to continue with such as shenmue (first fully interactive game) so i can see people buying a x360 for that same reason only problem is if they have the initial xbox games its not fully functional. i remember last year when justice league heroes came out for xbox and i put it in my 360 and its not compatible doesnt make any sense. brand new game not compatible. so it would not be as cool if you had a original xbox.

Posted by DeathOps - Friday, October 12, 2007 1:16 AM
Unless everyone else played some enhanced version of Halo 2 that I never knew about, I don't really understand how people think Halo 3 just has slightly improved graphics. I think the fact that it has colors besides brown and gray scares people away. Seriously, go into Saved Films, pause and zoom in on a weapon. Believe it or not, the close-up textures are actually more detailed than Gears of War. Plus, the scale of the maps is much larger and you can go anywhere in the map and close-up on anything. It really shows the work that Bungie put into this game.

Posted by yarsrvenge - Friday, October 12, 2007 6:08 AM
I agree with Adam. I'm 37 years old and have been mostly a PC Gamer. Got an XBOX and really liked Halo 3. I never played the original halo, but I did play Halo 2. Not only can I goof around with the saved film and forge features for a couple of hours a night, the sheer number of mutliplayer variations is staggering. It's fast paced for sure, but it is a nice diversion to Rainbow Six. People love to hate on Microsoft, but as an American I'm actually proud of them. A few years ago people laughed at the thought of an American company going up against Nintendo and Sony. They aren't laughing now.
