Title: I need the codes.
Post by: smokin terry on November 12, 2012, 12:02:42 AM
If you guys happen to drink {Mountain Dew} or eat {Doritos} you should pm me the 2xp codes that are under the caps/in side boxes or on the back of the bags. I would truly appreciate it, and karma would definantly go around. ;)

I don't eat {Doritos} or drink {Mountain Dew} but I have friends that do. So I'll see if I can collect some codes for you.

Not a problem. Before coke changed the reward points system to 100 per week. It used to be 100 per day. I got tons of free stuff. A portable DVD player. 28 ten Dollar Sony gift cards. And other stuff.

I'm not saying the game isn't successful.  There's a difference.  If I sell red ice to you one day, and then come around next year tried and succeeded in selling you blue ice, it's not amazing.  Just successful.  And the blue ice would be just about as different from the red ice as Halo 4 is from any other FPS.

You've just said that EVERY FPS is the same.

Post by: Double-O-Scotch on November 12, 2012, 09:24:49 PM
Technically he didn't. He said that halo 4 is as different from every other FPS as blue ice is from red ice. Using the ice as the common factor, it could be interpreted that the ice represents FPS's. therefore, by eliminating the common factor of ice (FPS's) halo 4 is as different from every other FPS as red is from blue. That's pretty different. My point is that it was never stated that they are the same.

Actually, that's exactly what I meant. They are all the same.  Name one thing, aside from the story, that is different?  All of them share the same exact mechanics, the same exact gameplay, the same exact, well, everything.

Not saying they don't have there place. Just not in my game library.

I never said Halo sucks. Well, I mean, I think it does. But like I said, it has its place. People like it. I'm really not trying to take anything away from Halo or any other FPS. I'm personally just not a fan.

I'm sorry, you can't just disregard a whole genre of games and say they are not good because you don't like them.

Personally, I'm not a fan of halo, but there are plenty of FPS's and 3rdPS's that I really do like.

Same way I'm not a fan of Warcraft, but I've played the pants off many other RPGs and RTSs.
Title: Re: I need the codes.
Post by: prayos on November 12, 2012, 11:01:13 PM
The problem is that they all feel the same to me. And I just feel my intelligence is insulted every year when the latest CoD or Madden comes out and they offer nothing new.  I've tried many FPSs from the CoDs to the first three Halo games, to Quake and Doom. I just don't enjoy them.

There is always people who think that an entire genres of games is beneath them cause they all seem too similar. Know what I say. If you don't like a certain game don't frigging play it. And don't insult a person cause they do and you don't. I'm not crazy about halo but I still respect my friends who do
Title: Re: I need the codes.

Yeah, I never once insulted anyone who plays those games.  In fact, I commented several times about these games being successful.  I will never insult a gamer for enjoying a game or genre that I don't.

That being said, I do apologize for being the spark of derailment.  If I do come across these codes, I'll be sure to message you.  I don't drink Dew that much, but the wife does.

I'm going with they are not all the same. Have you ever played COD extensively then switched to halo and tried to look down your sights and throw your grenades everywhere?? Hate it when that happens.

That just sounds like a keymapping issue.  Doesn't make the game different.

Sadly, the issue I have with video games these days spreads across all genres. 

RPG games hasn't evolved from the 3 basic quests(explore, fedex, assassinate) nor have they changed any story.  They are all the same:  Save the world.  The only thing they do is they try to change the gameplay with different mechanics and that is why I play them.  Some mechanics are good, others are shite.

RTS's are the same.  Build town.  Gather resource.  Build Army.  Swarm enemy.  I've yet to see one that changed that paradigm in a way that was worth a damn.  However, I play these because I do find them fun.  Like FPSs, multiple play throughs can allow different paths to be taken. 

Now, all of this isn't to say that I don't play FPSs at all.  I do.  I quite enjoy Borderlands, Fallout, Doom, Quake.  And at points, they are fun and enjoyable.  Mostly when I'm in multiplayer.

You havent played many rpg's and rts's then.  Not trying to throw down on your opinion im just stating there are rpg's and rts's that are very different from the standard you're pointing out. Wich is true to some extent but not for all games out there.

For strategy you've got Black and White 2 where you have a completly different way to beat your opponent if you so wich.

Rpg is tougher.
It depends of what you consider "rpg" but im guessing more traditional level up with stats kind of rpg?
Title: Re: I need the codes.
Post by: prayos on November 13, 2012, 04:02:27 PM
That's why I like Civ 5.  There's so many ways to win.  Not exactly RTS, but sorta.  I honestly hadn't seen much about Black and White 2.  Matter of fact, my first thought was Pokemon Black and White 2, lol.

And yeah, RPG in the traditional sense.  However, I think games like Fallout and Borderlands can be considered RPG as well.

Ok, I'm gonna be hypocritical and chip in here. 

Fallout is an RPG with elements of FPS, not the other way around.  Look back to fallout 1, 2, and the spin off dealie amidst them.  Not at all FPS, but very RPG.  Guns dont make a game a first person shooter alone.

You're correct.  In the case of Fallout, I definitely meant it the other way around.  But Borderlands is FPS first, RPG second.

New Vegas was amazing.  You just couldn't look at it like Fallout 3.  Fallout 3 wasn't like Fallout 2.  Did it turn out so bad?  ;)  And the DLC for New Vegas is absolutely phenomenal.  Except the casino one.  Stopped playing the game altogether for 4 months because of that DLC.......
