God damn you Peter Molyneux!

I cursed him shortly after completing the 1st Fable. He needs to learn the definition of "Exageration" and then needs to stop doing such.

So far, Fable 2 is shaping up to be the original Fable. Y'know, before the first game was released.

What's so good about MGS?

[Teecee]

Electron Zone, that post doesn't belong here. MGS is a Playstation exclusive, and this topic belongs with the subject in the Playstation thread.

I'm not much of a fan of the Xbox or Halo, but wouldn't it be infinitely cheaper just to get this: IGN: Halo Triple Pack
?

[Teecee]

Not when Halo is $19.99 new in most places, and it costs $9.99 max to rent Halo 2 for a couple of weeks. When that deal was released it was a good buy, but unless he intends to purchase Halo 2, he's better off passing on that deal.

Actually, the best idea IMO would be to wait for a Halo trilogy, and, given Bungie's track record, I can definitely see this being possible.

Mainly due to this:



Article about it on Wikipedia: "Bungie produced a compilation of all three games of the series called the Marathon Trilogy Box Set in 1997. The collection was on two discs. The first contained all three Marathon games as well as Pathways Into Darkness, an earlier Bungie game and the spiritual prequel to the series. This disc also contains manuals for all three games, QuickTime 2.0 and other things necessary to run the game. There are beta versions of Marathon on this disc as well. The second disc of this contains thousands of pieces of user-created content, including maps, total conversions, shape and sound files, cheats, mapmaking tools, physics files, and other applications. The boxed set was also notable for removing copy protection, allowing unlimited network play, and including a license allowing the set to be installed on as many computers at a site as desired."

Release date of the last Marathon game and the Trilogy set.

Marathon Infinity: 1996

Marathon Trilogy: 1997

That's only one year, which means that, hypothetically, the "Halo boxed set" should be released this year.

Oh, yeah, I'd wait and see if they would make a Halo pack this awesome and early. Then again, Bungie has changed a lot since then, what with fucking betraying Apple and sucking Microsoft's dick and being all about the money.

I'd wait and see on this year's E3. Of course, since Bungie has become more greedy, they might milk Halo 3 for all it's worth. Actually, the Halo Triple pack was released in less than a year after Halo 2, so, who knows?

[Teecee]

Please explain how Bungie has become greedy. =\

Also, with the major success of Halo 3, I'd say at least another year or two before any box set is released.

[LordMe]

How about taking the easy way out while programming Halo 3. Its only in 640p.

[Teecee]

How does that equate to being greedy?

[The Electron Zone]

They want more income coming from Microsoft.

[Teecee]

Microsoft wanted the cash, not Bungie. Why do you think the software giant pushed for a contract before Halo 3 entered its main stage of development?

[The Electron Zone]

Because Bungie wanted to seperate.

Because they betrayed everything they were about to make more money.

Unless there's another sequel, who cares about any game three years after it's release, unless they are referring to it as a "retro" game?
