Found this on YouTube a little while ago. It really puts all the Halo 3 hype in perspective, you know?

Click and enjoy.

That was great. Many lols were had. Sure, Halo is overhyped, but I'm still excited.

Note - What's wrong with Wil Wheaton? :P I like him.

Interestingly enough I've heard more hype over the new NiGHTS game rather than the new Halo game.
To me if its over hyped then I would have heard it from every little corner of the internet... which I'm not...
(I've only heard of one person bend on getting it as their next game.)

"...we'll get a decent pres-i-dent...when Bungie finally releases Halo 3!"
In my dreams...there are some downsides to living in America. (Japan ftw...just a few more years and I can probably pull it off)

Anyway yeah the hype around Halo 3 is starting to sicken me (actually, it probably started sickening me about two months ago, and it reached its peak within the last couple weeks with the whole Mountain Dew / Game Fuel shenanigans). It's the next game in line of an FPS series that you know as well as I do won't go any deeper than it already has and its sole existence is to keep console gamers who don't dare touch their PC's Internet settings a taste of the online world.

I'm one to talk though, I put down a preorder in July :P;

I did not find it very funny at all. IN fact...I only understood about a quarter of the jokes. Maybe its because I have never played a single Halo game in my life and I probably never will. Thats right...I never even played someone else Halo...I have never ever touched it. But I do get sick of people talking about it all the time. *sigh*

In fact....I have never even touched and XBox controller before....

That was pretty damn funny. Probably because I understood everything, since it was pretty American political related. Senators in Stalls. lol.

I'm tired of the hype for Halo. I don't really got anything against it, but I think sometimes people think it's "ZOMG THE BEST" when it's not exactly.

Yeah its not "ZOMG THE BEST" but they did a lot of interesting changes to the game.
Like people who complains about what happened to them when someone killed them in game would probably cease to happen.
(Unless they want to sound like a total complete noob.)
The stuff that was changed isn't new but it is new for that particular game.

What I'm saying is they have just as much freedom to hype this game as they do any other game.
Halo is indeed a good game but saying its too much hype is pretty much ignoring that fact.
If you really don't like the hype surrounded around it then stop adding to it. (Just talking about it should be annoying.)

That was funny. It made me laugh more than anything has for a long while.

Even though it is overhyped, I am excited to see how Halo 3 turns out. I liked the other two games, so I think I will give the next one the same lovin'.

Oh, and anyone in America who watches TV will recognize this. Mountain Dew Game Fuel :D

You are not alone friend, for I too have ordered the "Grab Your Ankles" Edition. I'm a sucker for bonus material. I honestly don't think the hype is as bad as Halo 2, but maybe that's just because I'm no longer in high school and don't have to listen to stupid teenagers babble like idiots.

Hey, at least we aren't dealing with Halo the Card Game, Halo Chimichangas, Halo Aftershave or even Halo Croquet, now with Stickies instead of "normal" balls. Actually that last one sounded pretty cool now that I think about it.

FINISH THE FIGHT...with Halo 3 Liquid Plumb-R! When the flood attacks, call Master Cheif!
The new Gilette EnerMAX. Specially engineered with Covenant energy sword technology for a shave so close you can practically feel it burn your skin off! From Gilette...the Best a Spartan Can Get!
Leave your home smelling fresh with the Halo 3 Plasma Scents Grenade! Puffs every 5 minutes to keep those alien odors from returning!
Be the Master Chief! Drink Mountain Dew Game Fuel with cherry and citrus and GET YOUR GAME ON! Do The Dew!!!

Thank god we won't be seeing any of these anytime soon...

Wait...crap.

My friend bought a
Halo edition 360 and Halo 3. I played it for a couple hours this weekend and honestly Im no more moved by it than I was with the other 2 Halo games. It still doesnt do anything for me and I doubt it ever will. also now that I have a Wii, I hate playing dual analog shooting games. The wiimote aim is so precise that I now completely suck at analog shooting.

You guys really need to open your mind more to certain games.
Its not "just a FPS with Multiplayer"... it has a story too.
(Which I'm surprised they didn't turn it into a movie...)

(Sorry I just don't like seeing people bashing games.)

I've always enjoyed Halo, but when it comes down to it and all is said and done it's basically Goldeneye or even Counter Strike done once more on XBOX. It's really well done, I'll give it that. Fluid and natural. But it's nothing original.

Don't get me wrong, there's no shame there, but not much glory either. The hype machine can only take a game so far.

The only reason Halo is "Godly" is because of its multiplayer. Metroid has a great story but ,no muliplayer = Almost no popularity. They put 2 common things together. Yeah it has a good story, but not enough to make a movie about it.

Okay, let me re-phrase that...

It's just a freaking FPS with multiplayer and a story!!

And sorry to bash.

It's just that FPS's aren't quite my style, along with bloody/gorey games with scenes of nudity, putting God of War in a nutshell.

besides, I really don't like bald men. They intimidate me..

I can understand how you guys will say FPS aren't your guys style.
Its just that its equivalent to the other people that says "NiGHTS is bad because its a simple game".
A game can't just be bad because someone doesn't like it or because a set of people over hype it.
You guys are just stooping to that level talking around it in that manner.
I just don't like seeing that. >:

Never really cared much for Halo, but I agree it's one of those games that makes me groan when I look at the Industry and where its going. (Kingdom Hearts II is another one) Over-marketed, Over-budgeted pieces of dosh that ensures that consumer dollars feed their beast and not those from smaller studios that need the profit more.

I agree with you thar. Saying "I don't like FPS 'cause there's SHOOTIN' " is like some jerk saying "NiGHTS ISN'T MAH FAVORITE GAME CAUSE HE'S NOT AS COOL LOOKING AS THE HALO GUY!"

The reason I don't like Halo is because I think it's overrated.:

I played Halo before. It wasn't fun for me. Therefore, I don't like it. I think it's another FPS game that people thought looked cool, and it has a pretty good story. That's why it sold. That's just me. I liek FPS games, though. Most of 'em, anyway.

Probably the EXACT same reason why KH sold. Good characters. Good story. Disney and Anime fans alike bought it, therefore bringing West and Eastern cultures together. Got people's attention. I liek KH moar, though. Was more fun for me.
