Halo 3 Comments by Rob Fahey

"lol @ MrsPacMan

At least those PS3 games are exclusive.

They wont be coming out on PC 6 months down the line..."

Hey, as long as it's *exclusive* mediocrity, it's all good, huh?

159th

360 is getting an awful amount of 10s 9s and 8s.......

I wonder what could happen if that machines wasn't faulty. Sayonara sony????

Since when was 80 mediocre. Sigh.

There's nothing mediocre about WarHawk, Heavenly Sword or MotorStorm. Not sure why you picked them out PacMan... That metacritic site puts HS ahead of H3 - Obviously some sort of error.

lol, nice one george

Wonder if Halo 3 will turn out the same once the not-hyped-to-hell version comes out on a platform that isn't so dependant on it?

The previous Halo games took 2 years to come out on PC....about the same time it's taking for an above average game to come out on.....actually I won't even go there

Fucking hell guys, enjoy your 360's, no need to piss on PS3 games at every opportunity, get a fucking life. Scores in the 80's are far from mediocre.

@Katsumoto

"Since when was 80 mediocre. Sigh."

Since said titles were supposed to be blockbusters making the sale of a 450+ quid console justified.

That's when.

I've just finished the original Halo and am now playing through the Halo 2, and I must say, that if the third game is as major a step up for the series, as the the second was, then this score is more than justified.

It should be noted that Eurogamer in no way favours certain developers or game franchises.

7/10

Let's do a sweepstake on when a PS3 game will receive a another 9 or better on EG.... I bag Jan 09. No wait I bag never.

So it's now a 96?

As someone who's been playing it since Friday, I can respect this review. I find the comments on graphics about right - the human faces could've used a little work, and it probably wouldn't hurt to train the animators some more natural walk cycles. But what the fuck. It's amazing, a truly great game that very, very rarely puts a foot wrong and pulls out showstoppers at every turn.

Plus it runs split screen two-player campaigns INCREDIBLY smoothly without losing any of the drama. Superb.

Uh, nope, 80 is still not mediocre, regardless of hype/marketing. Or are you saying a game that gets 50% should be bumped up to 70% if noone has heard of it?

@Katsumoto - No no, it only works in the negative, and only for PS3 games. :)

@MrsPacMan

Sorry, MGS4 will definitely get a 9 or better and probably so will Ratchet and LBP...all before '09

@DjFlex52

You hope

If they don't get the usual PS3 delay

Go Home

Have you actually read any PS3 EG reviews Pacman?

Wasn't Oblivion a 10 on PS3 and clearly the best console version available?
Doesn't count of course, it's multiplatform (ahem - like most 360 games).

There have been a couple of PS3 9's on EG haven't there? SSHD got a 9.

JediMasterMalik is defending the realm admirably.

I never saw this getting a 10/10 in a million years - tbh I thought this would complete a trilogy of 8/10's!

@tony

Sorry you are right. I meant exclusives, not 6-12 month updates

@Katsumoto

"Uh, nope, 80 is still not mediocre, regardless of hype/marketing. Or are you saying a game that gets 50% should be bumped up to 70% if noone has heard of it?"

Oh phuuuleeeese.

One of those fucking games was out at the PS3 *release*, ffs, and yet it's still latched onto by people like you as justification.

Heavenly Sword was hyped to be the mother of all beat-em-ups and came out decidedly unimpressive and short.

Warhawk, bless it, turned out 'ok' in the end. Surprise surprise, the one game that had major development reworking turned out 'ok'.

Still, nothing listed would make anyone with a brain in their heads rush out to buy a PS3. In fact, if TGS is anything to go by (and it is) you'd be fucking crazy to spend any money on a PS3 until at least next March.

360 has had two, read it TWO, EG 10/10 scores in the last few weeks. We've yet to see anything of that caliber on the PS3.

Moan, whine and piss all you want. Facts are right there.

oh ffs you clearly stated some utter bullshit which I was prepared to proove wrong.
I did so and now you're furiously wanking yourself silly over the sound of your own jibes.

This is boring. Shut up.

lewls. I don't even own a ps3 :p.

I'm going now. But if you could all carry on with your rants, diatribes and insane partisanship it would be much appreciated, as it will give me something to read tomorrow.

10. Wow.

@George - one of those 10/10 games is better played on PC, and the other one is Halo, which from experience I know is not as good as the Microsoft pay people to say it is (see the far more accurate PC reviews rather than the xbox reviews). Maybe it will shock me by being completely different to the previous two but somehow doubt it.

Mother bitch whore, can't wait go play it. Was absolutely not expecting a 10, I thought EG hated everything that's popular and especially an FPS that is not Bioshock... I'm gonna get both on the same day, and note it in my diary for my grandchildren.

I love it, this is great. And I only own a gameboy (original)

This thread has been shat on from a great height. Thanks for taking part!

@jozz, go screw your dog

"oh ffs you clearly stated some utter bullshit which I was prepared to proove wrong.

The point is, 'mediocre' is fucking justified when said games are hyped by the Sony marketing machine as being the Second Coming of gaming.

Sorry, paint it anyway you like. Facts are, PS3 has had NOT ONE major, blockbuster, release. To date.

Cry me a fucking river.

I wonder what EG would give Gargoyle's Quest.

Oh and... cor, blimey - a 10! etc, etc. I'm hyped - roll on Wednesday.

Only less than 200 posts? You people disappoint me! GoW had more than this!

George, I love you

When good developers get time they generally do the business. I expect PGR4 to be excellent too.

As for the PS3 baiting. Yeah they don't have much to play but COD4 beta is great online and they'll be getting the full game soon.

Good review, it read like a 9 to me but I can understand why it's a 10. For many Halo2 is the best MP game on the 360 however, since COD4 and TF2 I don't know how long it will hold that title spot.

I'm glad they dumped the Arbiter, that really jarred with Halo 2.

I'd like to step in at this point and say what an aweome gaming machine the Nintendo Wii is?

@DjFlex52

You hope

@MrsPacMan

not really...well, maybe ;)
I don't own a PS3 yet but when those 9s and 10s start pouring in with a price drop, i'll be getting one so i "hope" the PS3 gets rolling sometime next year until the next wave of 360 blockbusters come along.
I've been playing Bioshock, Blue Dragon and Eternal Sonata the last 3 weeks and my H3 is on the way so I'm a happy camper.

niteninja: You, sir, are so far up your own arse that you can go around twice. Saying that someone is corrupt without a shred of evidence is downright insulting for the people who busted their balls to get the review done in time. Thx, that was all.

Me too Dj, can you give us a date on the flood of titles? So I can start saving

WHAT THE FUCK, TEN?! THIS IS EG NOT IGN!

I would have docked a few points (e.g. 10 points) because of chapter 8 in the campaign mode.

Hmm.. After getting Oblivion and Bioshock based on the tens from this very site, I'm not so hyped about ANOTHER suspect ten from the team at Eurogamer..

But I'll be playing this sooner or later anyhow.

Pacman, if you stop posting I will, honestly.

/serious face

@MrsPacMan

But Harrison keeps saying they're coming ;)

@jozz

Has the dog had enough?
