[I Don't Give a Shit on!] Halo 3

JensenJensen Registered User regular
edited September 2007 in Games and Technology
I've been politely informed my opening thread was a bit brash. I'm sorry. I do NOT want to shit on Halo fans. Halo is not my gig, and I know there are tons of other game lovers out there that feel the same. September 25th is practically a holiday at this point: posters, TV, online - it's HUGE. Great for fans, and I'm psyched for you. I also am curious what those of us who don't dig Halo will be playing that day. I mean we've seen Bioshock come out on PC, Eternal Sonata on XBox 360, World in Conflict hit on the RTS front, there's good stuff happening here. When Sept. 25th rolls around what will you be playing. I'm curious! And I appologize to Halo fans about the thread title and my original post.


ORIGINAL POTENTIALLY OFFENSIVE POST:
I played Halo 1 and 2, and I don't care. I don't want a flame war. I'm not dissing what you dig. Let's just hear from the people who also don't give a shit about Halo 3. There are better (In my EVER so humble opinion) FPS's out there and frankly: we should be talking about them. September 25th - what will the "I don't give a shit about Halo" fans be playing? Gears of War? UT? Shit even Doom? Anything. Let's see what FPS games are all about. And if you love Halo, go for it - enjoy your thread a few posts above, below, or wherever. Am I alone mother fuckers (Mother fuckers is a term of endearment)? Or will I be the only gamer on the planet not cumming on Master Chief's helmet?

    Yeah, whatever. I don't give a fuck about Disgaea.

    Nobody cares about your lack of enthusiasm.

    You don't give a shit so much you've made a thread to commiserate about how much you don't give a shit.

    Is this correct?

    Seriously. I'm not a huge Halo fan either, but starting an anti-Halo 3 thread is just stupid.

    It's not ANTI Halo - it's more of a "What will you be doing when everybody else is playing Halo" thread. Seriously, if you like it "YAY!" Puppies and sunshine for you. I'm not unenthusiastic, hell I have a friend who's fucking cumming out of 20 dicks about this game, and I encourage his enthusiasm. But hey -- some of us are not going to be lining up and shitting ourselves. So, what will those of us who ARE NOT going to buy the game STAT going to be doing? We all play games, we all enjoy different things, and Halo 3/ Sept. 25th is being billed as some sort of holiday. I am not even suggesting one BASH Halo, games are about having fun - but let's face it this game is hyped to the max, so those of us not apart of they "Hell yea!" crowd, will obviously be playing something else. I want to know what! Don't get pissed, don't get touchy, and don't think I'm bagging on your enthusiasm or fun. You enjoy Halo, and ripping on Disgaea is not going to piss me off so don't even try it. It's a game I had fun with and made a sig over for a fucking online forum. Piss off. I'm probably going to be playing either Bioshock OR World in Conflict on Sept. 25th when roughly a few thousand other gamers will be digging on Master Chief. Chill out.

    Also note the word "opinion", your opinion is as valid as mine, if you love Halo and think it's the greatest thing since sliced bread: fuck yea! More power to you, wish I could feel the same!

    I heard that Halo isn't Halo, but in fact Gaylo. Are these rumors of Halo's possible homosexuality true?

    I hold no opinion on the matter.

    Not a bad thread idea, but you would have been much better off with a lighter sense of humor and some shiny pictures of other games you would suggest one play in lieu of Halo 3. Instead you just come off as a hater. I hate haters.

    I'll update then. I'm not a hater, that's the last thing I want. I've been here for awhile, and I'm here because I love games and I know you guys love games. I also know Halo has never floated my boat, blown my hair back, etc. I'm sure I'm not alone. I have to stress: no dickheadedness is meant with this thread :)

    While I agree with the sentiment of your post, I am easily swayed by large crowds. I am cowed by peer pressure, so I'll pretend to disagree. :(






    edit: oh cool, we're allowed to not yell at you now. In that case, on Halo's release date I'm probably going to be trying to lay my hands on the new CSI game. Rent, likely.

    You're better off hanging out in the Bioshock or COD4 threads. Or hell, make your own thread about a game that doesn't yet have a thread, and that you're interested in. Making a thread for people who "don't give a fuck about Halo 3" is just going to get you flamed, and rightly so. It comes off as flamebait, no matter what you say to the contrary.

    I may be OVER THE LINE! here ;) I didn't expect so many to react this way. But hey, I've done what I've done and if flaming is what I get, it's what I get. As long as it's been stated I'm not gunning to piss people off and I'm not shitting on anyones taste that isn't mine. I saw an ad for Halo 3 and thought "Sweet jesus this game is getting a lot of attention, I wonder what people who don't really care will be doing"

    The profanity didn't really help. I mean I don't mind it. But well, let's say you're talking about your hobby to someone and he reacted by saying
    "Man, I don't give a shit about ____. Am I the only non-mother fucker here?"
    Compared to
    "I've never been a big fan of ____. Am I the only person who doesn't have sex with mothers here?"

    I've edited, and you guys are all right. Opening post is like an instant asshole shit-on-you opening to anyone who feels differently, which was not my goal. I'm sorry - I edited and hopefully it's better.

    Your title is still retarded, and this whole thread really has no point outside of flamebaiting. You'd get a better discussion by simply going to threads for other games coming out around the same time...

    You wanna know what people will be playing on the 25th? Games. Just like any other day. The fact that Halo comes out will either solidify your game time for that day, or it won't. Big deal.

    While I'm in here and this thread is getting loads of views, can anyone recommend me a Megaten game (or any of the spin-offs) to pick up, keeping in mind that I'm:

    1) In Europe

    2) Have never played any of these games before, but have played buttloads of other (S)RPG's

    Might as well ask what people who don't like Halo are going to be doing on the 19th.

    This thread doesn't serve a purpose. In no way could it ever serve a purpose. "You don't celebrate Halloween. What will you be doing on Halloween?" "You don't like egg mcmuffins. What will you be doing for breakfast in the morning?" "You don't like Harry Potter books. What will you be doing the day the last one comes out?" I mean, you say your intentions have been flushed down the toilet... what intentions? Either Sept 25th is the day you're picking up Halo 3, or it's a day where you're doing something else. What else? That's what the rest of the boards are for.
