haggis Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 My kid is going nuts about this game. The kicker? He doesn't have an Xbox 360. So after Tue I'll be hearing every day that he wants one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joebabyny Posted September 22, 2007 Author Share Posted September 22, 2007 well, 3:45 am and i have been playing for a few hours. It is awesome. The game just looks incredible, i have not seen a game on either 360 or ps3 that looks this good. The boards are huge, when the game is officially released it looks like multiplayer is going to rock. Also, i believe up to 4 player can play the campaign together. I'll have more thoughts on it tomorrow, but this is definitely worthy of the hype and worth getting a 360 for.

AVM Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Lucky man! I dont know how things are elsewhere, but the line for it starts Monday night at 9 at all the game stops in Greenville. Which, of course, means some people will be there around 3 PM, lol. Unfortunately, I still havent gotten the friggin 360 yet, so I'll get it sometime between now and never.

war ensemble Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 We should make another "what's your Gamertag" thread, or bump the old one, as there's probably going to be a lot of people from here online with this game, it'd be awesome if we could get a full match among us, or at least a full four-player coop.

Alk Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 So I almost have my wife talked into coming over to the dark side and getting a 360. Someone give me the rundown on Xbox Live. Is it only $50 for a year? That's what I had heard and when I told my wife she barely flinched. So I just may be playing Halo3 online with some of you guys in the very near future.

But you have to pay extra for bonus content for games, like forza 2 is 400 points (5$?) for a few cars and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alk Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 halo 3 comes with a coupon for 48 hours free I did some more research and apparently with your $50 for the year you also get a headset. I can't imagine that it's wireless but still seems like a good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joebabyny Posted September 24, 2007 Author Share Posted September 24, 2007 How many gameplay hours are we talking for the single player JBNY? 20+? lets see, i think it took me 12-15, at normal. I would think a lot longer on the harder settings. But i think everyone will be playing online multi player for years like they do with halo 2.

FYI - Killzone 2 is said to have 2gb per "level" not sure if that means a LOT of textures... or long levels... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FYI - Killzone 2 is said to have 2gb per "level" not sure if that means a LOT of textures... or long levels... Gears of War was a really good game. I bought it the day it came out as I was really sick and needed something to do. I beat the game on all three difficulties by the end of the night. Next time I tried to play it my 360 scratched it up and it wouldn't play. Great game, WAY too short, POS console. Just wondering, how long is Resistance's campaign, and how long is MGS4, Killzone 2's, etc supposed to be. Heck, even Forza 2 for Microsoft is pretty short for the type of game it is, compared to Gran Turismo 4 at least. EDIT: Apparently if I'm not an idiot MGS4 is supposed to have 70+ weapons, lengthy gameplay, non-linear, in which Solid Snake dies (or disappears). Sounds like fun.

FYI - Killzone 2 is said to have 2gb per "level" not sure if that means a LOT of textures... or long levels... I don't know, it didn't seem like the game was so short, definitely not as short as gears was, and i am sure playing it on a level greater then normal will mean a lot more playing time, at normal i was able to just run through a bunch of boards evading the covenent and flood. But the true value in gears and the halo series is the online multiplayer dimension, these games just can't be beat when it comes to that, and that is really why my ps3 collects dust other then the odd bluray i rent from blockbuster. Ecurb, i understand your allegience, but trust me bro, by not having a 360 right now you are missing out on one really awesome game. BTW, i see refeences to resistance when talking about these games, resistance can not hold gears's jock strap, let alone halo 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
