I seriously doubt a netbook without a cd drive will even be able to play H2V in the first place, and even if it did, i cannot see this method working.

Yeah. That's right. I don't have a 50 in H3. I never got Onyx in Reach. If a game sucks too much, I won't even bother trying for such trivial "accolades". Besides, I've done way more things that take far more skill and talent than anything that can be done in a video game.

This. Actually, I can't think of one netbook capable of handling that trainwreck of a game.

Why in hell does everyone hate Halo 2? Personally, I miss that old game. I remember when it first came out and everyone was pumped to play it.

It's not necessarily Halo 2 as such, it's the poor job Hired gun did at porting it to PC and making it a PC game. Granted, there are those who don't like Halo 2 altogether, but the lack of true m+k support, mod tools worse than the Xbox version, Controller superior to m+k thanks to aim assist, Co op (this can still be partly accessed), making PC gamers pay for LIVE initially when it first came out and making the game only compatible with Windows Vista at the time are some of the major problems to name a few, not to mention the 5 install key limit, who's brilliant idea was that?

Oh ignore him, he sounds (to me anyway) like an angsty teenager who is trying to sound edgy by saying he hates nintendo games. (not to say mario hasn't been in a bad one.)

Such ignorance makes me cringe. I hear they sell head shrinking rays pretty cheap off Amazon these days.

Something smells fishy...

I think Omega Man says certain things to insight reactions from people. But I do agree with him in expressing that H2V is a bad game.

But that's all he does, he never contributes positively to any thread.

Omega, I'm happy for you, and I'm GONNA LET YOU FINISH, but New Super Mario Bros was one of the greatest games of ALL TIME!

Dude... its an Itallian guy with a mustache that collects giant floating coins in mushroom land. Although I am sure it is somehow more complicated then that, I honestly don't understand how so many people like that game.

I tend to prefer more... mature games. An arcadeish game designed for children does not appeal to me at all. Infact it does quite the opposite.

What exactly do you people find so good about it?

Personally, I don't think Mario is any where near being the best thing to ever exist in gaming for me, however, I'd never count it as among the worst. People are truly over-dramatic when calling things "the worst", definitely in the gaming community. As an example, both Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Black Ops have been called the worst games of all time by multiple little angsty teenagers. Those games aren't exactly great in many people's opinions, but to say they're the worst games of all time is ridiculous. To me it just shows how little games someone has played.

If you think Halo 2 Vista and Mario are the worst games in history, you should try out a game like Superman 64 or that one trucker game that I can't remember the name of. You'll actually see what a "worst" game is.

(Also, if you want to talk about terrible game bugs, I'd go with Myth II being the worst. "Want to uninstall the game? Okay, we'll just go ahead and uninstall everything on your computer. Kthnxbai.")

If I remember correctly the Myth II bug was fixed after a while. Nothing on Halo 2 was fixed. Some Xbox Live updates may have changed things, but it wasn't a fix.

I still do not have the slightist idea of what people think is good about Mario.

It doesn't matter that it was fixed, tons of people had completely crashed hard drives from it. Also, Halo 2 Vista did have updates to fix things, but they stopped updating it. The updates also didn't fix much. That is bad, but it's no where near as bad as crashing peoples' hard drives. That's a bug that no developer, even an Independant one, should ever be able to overlook. It boggles my mind how Bungie could have ever even tested the functions without realizing it. That is if they even tested uninstalling the game.

Just because you don't like/understand why a game is good shouldn't make you bolt out saying it's the worst game in the world. I still stand by my statement saying its obvious you haven't played that many games if you seriously think that. There are muuuuuuuuuuuuuch worse games out there than Mario and Halo 2 Vista. Halo 2 Vista has tons of problems with it, but people still enjoy it. If there are still people playing the game online, though only around 50 - 80 people at any given time, it can't possibly be "the worst game ever". That's over-exaggeration, my friend.

In the case of Mario, most of the older fanbase for Mario is made up of nostalgic adults. It is a kid's game, but it was such a great kid's game that it is lovingly remembered all the way to being an adult. The wacky thought of "a plunger saving a princess in a mushroom world" is interesting to kids who have enough of an imagination. If you grew up constantly only wanting to be realistic without any sort of imagination, definitely in the world of gaming, you missed out on a lot.
