Gamemaster, I spend exactly the same amount of time "targeting you with extensive plans" as I spend watching reruns of Mama's Family and Becker. Stew on that for a while, you paranoid loon.

BTW, Miyamoto was the third gunman on the grassy knoll and Bill Gates is the second coming of Christ. Now talk amongst yourselves.

Re: Perfect Dark Zero "Blew Gamespot Away"
 

Why can people who play games not notice things are subjective?


Just because a game gets a ****ty score doesn't mean there wont be people who think its a good game.

Just because a game gets a good score doesn't mean there wont be people who think its a flaming pile of crap.

The online play is semantics, and requires no arguing whatsoever. Yes, every game would get a different score without online play, but we'll never know that score, will we? So what do we gain in guessing?

Arguing over personal opinion on who likes what games is like arguing over the flavour of purple.

Seriously, all of you need to give it up. Games are games. They're subjective. Most of you say you know that, yet you go on carrying these types of arguments and descussions that get you nowhere.

I think reviews are pure crap as it is. I dont want someone else telling me how much I'll like a game. If a game interests me, I'll tell myself how much I like the game.

And by the way, who cares how long it was in development for? Seriously. So what. The point is its done. You can buy it, you can play it. Let it go. By saying its bad because it ws in development for so long is a weak argument and is just grabbing straws.

PS. None of the above statements were directed at any specific people, nor were they based solely on this forum alone.

Re: Perfect Dark Zero "Blew Gamespot Away"
 

Just stop, Sean. Every single line of your post pisses me off. And this comment isn't directed at anyone inparticular.

Look what you've done, Professor S. Are you happy?

edit: Well let's just fan this fire more.

Well you missed my point completely. I proposed Halo 2 only received such high scores mostly BECAUSE of online play. Everybody agrees that the story just sucked because it was rushed and included an extremely dumb cliffhanger. Also, the "pop-in" graphics didn't help, nor did the arbiter levels, which a lot of people also complained about. Having all of these faults in mind, was the gameplay really that great without online gameplay?

If Gamespot likes PD0 so much, is the liking of the online gameplay to the same degree? Such is the point of stripping off the online play out of the final score, to find out what the gameplay would score. I agree, you can't strip a game apart like that, but it's a useful tool to determine its quality in bits and pieces.

QED.

Re: Perfect Dark Zero "Blew Gamespot Away"
 

I told you, nothing was directed specifically at anyone. And I meant it. Like I said in the PM (I'm saying this here, so I dont have to say it 5 more times in seperate PM's or posts :p ) if I wanted to aim anything at anyone, I would have specifically done so, like I normally do.

I didnt say that part because you made a post on it, it was a general distaste and confusion I have gathered from a collective of other forums where people argue on for pages about online play.

Re: Perfect Dark Zero "Blew Gamespot Away"
 

Why even post all that crap in the first place. It's circular to think those statements will end anything.

Re: Perfect Dark Zero "Blew Gamespot Away"
 

If you want to delete it, and this, I'll leave that to your discretion whether to gut it, or clear it.

For I do not care.

But it would be wise to delete this post as well. :p

Re: Perfect Dark Zero "Blew Gamespot Away"
 

No, I'm going to leave it.

This thread was doomed from the time Bond typed "Perfect Dark Zero" in the thread title.

Re: Perfect Dark Zero "Blew Gamespot Away"
 

Yes bond, and you didnt do anything fanboyish related by posting all our many months old comments that were based off not playing the game :rolleyes:

Re: Perfect Dark Zero "Blew Gamespot Away"
 

Damn. And I was just about to ask you where I could sign up.

Huh? Oh you mean I wasn't supposed to tell GameMaster about...? Say again? Secrecy and misdirection? OHHHHH!

Ok, got it. My lips are sealed.

...

So how about them Eagles?

Re: Perfect Dark Zero "Blew Gamespot Away"
 

I'm ****ing ECSTATIC! Look at this thread! We've actually got a 4 page thread going about a LAUNCH GAME for a NEXT GEN CONSOLE that just LAUNCHED. The fact that there weren't more and longer threads is an embarassment to this entire website. This is GAMEtavern, not NINTENDOtavern. I'm a little tired of digging up information about the 360 for no one to care about, and I'm not the only one who was.

So Bond decided to stoke the flames a little and I recognized what he was doing and joined right in. It worked GREAT! Now we have members actually looking up info on Xbox360 games and comparing scores. True, they're looking for bad information to support their pre-ordained beliefs, but like an emotionally abandoned child, I'll take bad attention for the 360 over no attention at all. Hell, we even got Xantar into the mix without directly bringing up Nintendo or politics!

Mission accomplished! HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

/me goes back to his hidden lair and hi-5's Bond, then begins to concoct his next nefarious scheme... targeted at Gamemaster, of course.

Re: Perfect Dark Zero "Blew Gamespot Away"
 

/me pokes his head of of the hidden lair or evel doings and happenings

The Eagles SUCK, but thanks for asking.

And I double posted! What are you going to do about it?! NOTHING, THATS WHAT!!!! MWAAAAAAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!!

/me leaps back into his hidden lair of dark plotting and shenanigans, hi-5's Bond yet again, and then makes himself a hot-chocolate

Re: Perfect Dark Zero "Blew Gamespot Away"
 

Yeah every friday we get together and try to figure out the best ways of baiting you. Is it working?

If Rare comes to their senses and makes Banjo Threeie then I will have to get a 360. Probably just a used core system or something. I don't have the time or the money to support three systems again.

This gen:

1) GameCube
2) Xbox
3) PS2

Next gen:

1) PS3
2) Revolution
3) 360

Re: Perfect Dark Zero "Blew Gamespot Away"
 

As is PGR3, but the Project Gotham games all suck... right?


Thusfar, the only game you can say "aw bite me" to is Madden 06, but that's EA so yeah...

Re: Perfect Dark Zero "Blew Gamespot Away"
 

LOL @ this entire thread. Dammit, this is what I've missed for such a long time at GameTavern.


:lol:

nothing against gamemaster or anyone else, I just find that comment well worded and delivered with an uncommon charimastic charm.


*thinks about contributing to the thread*



...uncommon for a flaming Crap-Box 360 fanboy like Strangler, that is. I heard that some child got sick from playing Perfect Dark 0 (due to its utter crappiness), and spread the newborn 'X360' virus to hundreds of thousands of other kids, killing them all.

Ya hear that, people? Buy a 360 and you're killing children...I wont speak for everyone, but I certainly will not be a part of that.

Re: Perfect Dark Zero "Blew Gamespot Away"
 

Please read the last two posts I made on this thread.

And Stonecutter, the only thing spreading viruses around here is your girlfriend. OH SNAP!! HAVE AT YOU!!! ;)

Re: Perfect Dark Zero "Blew Gamespot Away"
 

*sigh*

I should act like a mod here... but aw **** it.


Have your fun.

PS: Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries

Re: Perfect Dark Zero "Blew Gamespot Away"
 

Gamemaster, you should really remind them of your position as a moderator.

The point with Perfect Dark Zero is that Nintendo fans want it to suck because they feel bad about losing Rare, while Xbox fans want it to be good just to piss of Nintendo fans. Or something about that, you get the point. This isn't just a neutral game.

Re: Perfect Dark Zero "Blew Gamespot Away"
 

I hope you're kidding. Gamemaster will be a moderator again when Teddy Kennedy is president and invades Jamaica for the rum.

Man, someone finally got it. +rep if we still had it.

Re: Perfect Dark Zero "Blew Gamespot Away"
 

Strangler, I know this is off topic, and no doubt will be flagged as looking for an argument, but I just lost practically all the respect I had for you with this one thread.

You're a moderator. You should act like one.

Re: Perfect Dark Zero "Blew Gamespot Away"
 

And you're supposed to be a sentient human being with a modicum of intelligence... but I don't go around shooting my mouth off about that, do I?

As for respect, I doubt you had any for me in the first place since I've spent much of my time here tormenting you, and I think this is probably at least the 5th time you've said you've "lost all respect for me". So I don't think I've lost much of anything.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING.

Re: Perfect Dark Zero "Blew Gamespot Away"
 

See, thats the type of thing I mean.

I didnt even take any shots at you, yet you couldn't resist taking one at me, could you?

And you shouldnt go off shooting your mouth off, is my point. You're a moderator.

And I doubt its only me, that you've lost respect from. You came in here looking to stir things up, being the one thing you always preach against. Which isnt very respectful, in my opinion.

If you want to start a war with cheap shots, I'm all in for that. Considering, I'll come out looking better. I'm not 28. I'm not the moderator. And I didnt start it.

Just know how utterly childish you come off looking in this thread, and the unjustified insults dont really help you out much there.

Re: Perfect Dark Zero "Blew Gamespot Away"
 

Typhoid, I've been having a good time on thanksgiving. As have we all. Only you seem to be taking any of this seriously or screaming about me losing "respect". The fact is that every time I show a little color, you can't wait to attack me. You look forward to it because from the beginning I was hard on you. I didn't start this thread. Bond did. Why don't you go after him and the respect he's "lost"? Curious how you decided to pick me out, isn't it? Stop with the childish passive-aggressive act. You should thank me for the tough love, since you've actually improved a thousand times over where you started from.

As for unjustified insults, If you don't think you tried to insult me, you're only kidding yourself.

Keep on desperately trying to attack me and my status. Its extremely transparent.

I'm heading to my girlfriend's now. Have a happy and a healthy.

Re: Perfect Dark Zero "Blew Gamespot Away"
 

No, I do it because you're a moderator and should be able to compose yourself. Do you see school teachers screaming at students during a difference of opinions and insulting his intelligence?

Is it?

Do you know how arrogant it is to say I've improved solely on you? In fact, I would say it has the least to do with you, and moreso with me moderating a large 500 member forum. And passive-agressive? I told you, in all sheer honesty, nothing I've said here was meant to be an insult, if you take it that way, so be it.

I havent. I said you should act like a moderator. You called me stupid. Yet I'm still insulting you somehow. I like the way this one is going.

And I'm not attacking your status. I'm reminding you of it. Because at times it seems as if you forget you moderate this, and should hold yourself higher than other people and not drag yourself into childish arguments, and not fan the flames for a disagreement, especially after you're so against arguments at other times.

And now, I shall utilize the classic Strangler line of arguments of past:

Re: Perfect Dark Zero "Blew Gamespot Away"
 

Yes..I was surely begging PD0, the game that would've made me buy a 360 if I could because I enjoyed PD, fail horribly. I wasnt wanting it to fail even though I prefer Nintendo. I was hoping this was the game that turned Rare around because their efforts on the Xbox were less then stellar unfortunatley but then again, maybe they just kinda shrugged off the Xbox and went straight for the 360 (or maybe MS forced them to?)

But in the end, ill have PD0 someday

Re: Perfect Dark Zero "Blew Gamespot Away"
 

Yes, GameMaster, Strangler and I specifically target you and plot all night long on how to destroy you in the staff forum. I would never deny such an obvious thing.

GameMaster isn't a moderator.

This was really my point for this entire thread. Strangler has made at least ten quality threads on Xbox 360 hardware/game information and they have less posts combined than this one single thread that was based on opinionated attacks.


I think it's been fun and funny at the sametime. At least we're actually talking about videogames again.

Re: Perfect Dark Zero "Blew Gamespot Away"
 

*reads through thread*

Absolutely lovely. :)

Re: Perfect Dark Zero "Blew Gamespot Away"
 

Well, this has been amusing reading through. I like how it goes...first a bunch of people shout out their things, then one person finds somebody and then those two start something up. Then one of them gets a long final post that settles it...and then we start all over again.

All of our longer threads here tend to be like that.

God I love it here. :)

Re: Perfect Dark Zero "Blew Gamespot Away"
 

Seriously, dude, chillax.

Re: Perfect Dark Zero "Blew Gamespot Away"
 

Just thought that this may be interesting for all you 360X nay sayers.

I am voting for this thread to be nominated as "Best Thread Ever". It has everything and is a microcosm of videogame debating across the internet.

Any seconds?

P.S. Typhoid is a poopy-head


/me wonders if Typhoid is actually ever going to get the point of what he's doing on this thread

Re: Perfect Dark Zero "Blew Gamespot Away"
 

Bush went to war on false pretenses and there were no WMD.


He is finding ways to squak God into the White House, and bypass the separation of church and state.

Re: Perfect Dark Zero "Blew Gamespot Away"
 

FINALLY!!! Well its about time you lightened up. :D

Re: Perfect Dark Zero "Blew Gamespot Away"
 

I was the whole time, actually.


Did you notice the lack of insults on you?

Re: Perfect Dark Zero "Blew Gamespot Away"
 

Well I tried to hint to you the entire time what the heck was up. Now I have no clue where you stand.

Re: Perfect Dark Zero "Blew Gamespot Away"
 

It's a standard tactic: when you realize you've been made to look like an ass, backpedal and claim that actually, you were just joking around the whole time. No harm intended. Really.

Problem is Typhoid does it so often and so clumsily that it doesn't work.

Re: Perfect Dark Zero "Blew Gamespot Away"
 

I never said I was joking, did I?


I meant I wasnt mad.


Why is it you always randomly come into arguments anyways? Arguments that dont even concern you?

You're like the Al Sharpton of Gametavern. (or if you prefer, the Micheal Moore.)

Re: Perfect Dark Zero "Blew Gamespot Away"
 

because he is better educated (aint that right, Xanny?) ;) than you or I or anyone else here. his grasp of the human psyche is an uncommon trait in modern society and we are all lucky to witness a genius at work.

Re: Perfect Dark Zero "Blew Gamespot Away"
 

Better educated? He went to Swarthmore, for Christ's sake. Compared to Ursinus thats like kindergarten.
