Elite Gamez

Yes I have recently ventured back into the illogical, ridiculous, never ending, hilarious, and pointless abyss known as System Wars. If you know nothing of how things work here in System Wars let me tell you about one aspect which only reinforces the stupidity of the place (yeah it`s a stupid area to go into, but it is a fun place regardless). In System Wars review scores are used to justify a game or system`s greatness. Of course using a review score to some how prove that your experience was right and other`s experiences with the game were wrong is a lame thing to do, but people do it anyways. Review scores are used here only when they benefit the person, when they don`t give them an advantage in an argument they will not use them, for example here at GS the PC has the most AA and AAA exclusive games out of any system (last time I checked). When you tell that to someone they will simply say I use this other website for review scores so it doesn`t matter. When a game that the same person who “doesn`t care” about GS scores receives a high score from GS they will claim “ownage”. So this whole thing is hypocritical to say the least. Anyways that is enough of a lesson on the way System Wars works for now, it is time to get to the meat of this whole thing.

System Wars is the darkest of dark abysses in which only the bravest and the crazies will post.

You know I love it when people try to use review scores from mainstream websites as proof that a game is great and if you didn t enjoy the game then your experience is wrong or you are just a silly old “fanboy”. For example Halo got a 9.7 here at GS, it has to be good… right? Well I m sure you could argue that the game is technically great and all of that wonderful stuff, but really it all boils down to what you think of the game and not some total stranger s view of a game. The game can be technically amazing in all kinds of aspects, but if it isn t fun than you probably aren t going to play it or at least you probably won t enjoy playing the game.

So let me say this, Halo is an average game. “OMGZ U CAN T SAY THAT IT GOT A 97 out of 100 at METACRITIC!” Yeah well that is nice, but it got a 6.7 from me. Gee, I wonder what I am going to care about more.

Oh noes! The Halo fanboys have transformed!

Now I`m going to have 50 billion crazy rabies infected Halo fanboys chomping at my neck, saying “you are wrong man… Halo is a great game look at these scores man, obviously your experience with the game is incorrect”. What I find to be entertaining might be different than what others find to be entertaining. I have said this type of thing on many occasions, but I will say it again. Games are about entertainment, if the game isn`t entertaining I`m not going to go with the flow and call it entertaining just because it got high scores from some websites and some magazines. Sorry I`m the type of person to assuage you guys. I`m here to state my opinion even if it hurts your hypersensitive bodies and feelings in ways that are currently inconceivable to man. I probably just caused the Earth`s water levels to rise to dangerous cataclysmic levels because of how much tears I`ve brought to the eyes of the fans of Halo. So let me set the record straight and give you all a nice big tissue, I like Halo as a Coopertive game, it is one of, if not the best out of the console FPS bunch so I don`t really consider Halo to be an average game (I gave it a 9.5), but others do and I can understand that. However there are some people out there that just flat out say “Halo Sucks” and don`t give any reasoning for it, that is lame if you ask me.

I m sorry for bringing up Halo, I should have known that their tears could wipe us off the planet. Hopefully it isn t too late.

Don`t give me these review scores as evidence that I`m wrong because Joe, Jan, Jane, John, Jerry Reviewers loved X game. I don`t give a ****. I`m not supporting blind hatred for games, but I do respect people who stand by their own opinions and don`t soften up to please others. So instead of flaunting fancy numbers in my face how about you give me some reasons why a game is good or bad.
