Ashamed of Ensemble

Dooberman · 09-27-2006, 02:58 PM

The day has finally come when the great and might Ensemble Studios has turned to the dark side...consoles.
Now they are making an rts for (STRICTLY MY OPINION!) the worst game to be bestowed upon this earth, Halo. They're making an rts remake called, halo wars...sigh, I knew it, all the big names do this. Infinity Ward, Valve, Ensemble, one by one they all fall.

should be in rants/raves

What does it matter if games go to consoles?

ebackhus · 09-27-2006, 04:01 PM

doesn't sound so bad to me.

valve? hl2 is awesome. i have no beef with valve. its a great way to deliver games. i never have to worry about losing cds, or cd keys. and i think halo rocks.

well i i guess it should be in rants/raves sry about that. With valve though they decided to port it to xbox which made me mad when they said that but ur right hl2 is a awsome game. I guess im just a bit of a anticonsole person.

consoles have their place, i own 3 (ps, dc, and n64). i don't think fps belong on them, but i do wish i had a xbox360 for other games (pgr, and doa)

I think that modern consoles are good FPS boxes, even if they lack the precision of a mouse. I started my FPS rampages on an old 386SX and then found Halo many years later.

I want a good RPG for the 360 now.

FPS are still best on the computer however. Not because the mouse/keyboard (you can live without it, trust me) but because of the free user mods. Consoles will try and nickle ad dime you with their micro-transactions.

You can put it in rants/raves, if you can find it.

It is M.I.A. at the moment. Might be back ????

I don't play with mods so consoles work just fine for me. I'm the type who plays the games in their original form unless forced to update/patch.
