    yeah saw that earlier.
    seems like a deserved score, unlike halo3

    Not really a spoiler;
    Eurogamer have been dishing out way too many 10/10 scores recently, and most of the ones that I've played have felt more like 8-9/10 games...
    Having said that, I couldn't give a rats ass, I'll most definitely be buying this one in less than 2 weeks!

    not really spoilers but could give the score away to people who don't want to know, but i agree. a bit of editorialisation wouldn't go a-miss in that respect.

    and yes, can't wait for this. it'll give me a reason to dust down the wii

    Have to agree with eurogamer giving out way too many 10/10's. I think most of the staff don't agree with the Halo 3 score either. Krudster gave MP 3 a 9/10 but said in the comments that it's a far superior game to Halo 3.

    Anyway I'm really looking forward to Galaxy, was there any doubt that it wouldn't be fantastic?

    It's definitely worthy of a ten,

    Its the best game I have played on any system since Super Mario 64

    Ive played through Halo 3. There is no way it is a 10/10 game. Its pretty, polished & good fun but thats about it.

    The 10/10 scores come from the Multiplayer, which is a hell of a lot of fun.

    There are far better multiplayer games out there on the PC and xbox. Team Fortress 2 anyone?

    You obviously haven't tried Lag Fortress 2 on Live then have you.

    It still received 9/10 on EG for the pc version, which has none of the lag issues associated with the 360 version

    I haven't been affected by lag in TF2 in ages. Its a much better multiplayer game than Halo. Halo is very shallow in multiplayer in fact, do not understand its popularity at all

    A picture says a thousand words and before anyone asks, no they aren't from any 'personal' collection.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,420 ✭✭✭WellyJ


    Oh crap,

    I don't look or act like those guys,

    Does that mean I should sell my copy and stop playing it??

    Yes.

    Wasn't team fortress 2 patched not long ago to get rid of the lag?

    Team Fortress on Live is laggy if you pick the wrong game, but just pick a decent connection and you'll be grand. And yes, best multiplayer around. (and lollers at the pics)

    Back on topic (although that is arguably the most off topic thread I have come across in a while) I have actually decided to buy a Wii to play this game.

    It'd better be good Nintendo, it'd better be good. :mad:

    nihilistic_tf2.jpg

    etc. I'm sure anyone with steam will have already seen these, but just in case, http://kotaku.com/gaming/halloween-hangover/

    See the difference? :D

    That first scout looks cool :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,320 ✭✭✭Q_Ball


    Haha brilliant, but the blue team seem to be a man down

    On topic, game looks fantastic.

    that is all
