re: Maria?

Wow.

Ok, first of all. I'm not talking about kids (I'm assuming you mean preteen to early teen?) reading it, I'm talking about an older demographic (let's say 16-early 20's). And how you describe the game makes it seem like it's only there for people who play Halo 24/7. You could hate Halo and still enjoy some of the books!

And who the hell is talking about anime anyway? Fine, I'll humor you. Reading isn't just a form of escapism, it's also a form of knowledge gathering, and it does that in a way that games can't hold a candle to.

Btw, anime and Sci-Fi novels aren't the only books in the world. And if you think that everyone who likes to read is sad, then you're really the sad one.

Meh, hopefully you'll learn when you're older.

re: Maria?

Arent we talking about fiction books?
Reading is a form of info gathering if its actually a textbook, and thats what the internet is for now. Many people now use the internet as their main source of data as opposed to textbooks, but they are still used too.
Still, reading for fun is gay. Only read when you have to and you wont have problems...

re: Maria?

Um, no. Textbooks aren't the only way to gain knowledge. Also, most games (if not all, tbh) were thought up or inspired because of books, so I guess video game developers are all losers too right?

It's hard to think much of someone who says reading is gay, tbh. Meh, you'll do really well in college.

re: Maria?

Hey guys, can you please keep this on topic, I've seen little discussion about Maria on the last few pages. If you want to go and create a general GoW story discussion thread, go ahead and take this argument there.

Edit: To save any argument, I decided to go and create the thread myself. Take all this Halo/Halo Books vs. Gears story stuff there.

quote Dinosoid
I didn't say it was "shitty." Don't put words in my mouth.

The whole "get to super weapon and ride it to the heart of the enemy" theme is too common. I liked the characters enough to develop some kind of attachment to them (in combat), but I didn't enjoy the overall story.

If they can enrich the Gears universe to be like the Halo universe, then hell yeah I'll play it everyday.
Justin's good at that

dude howtf is reading how Master Chief blew up this planet or shot that grunt gonna help a kid? Im sure that kid is gonna get all the girls by knowing master chief's every adventure...
If its meant for adults, than ill agree its to further the series, but it not good for younger people, or really anyone because nothing good comes from being that into a game
quote
And reading a book about a game makes me too deep into the game? Not the last time I checked.
wtf do you think the books are made for, to turn off people from the franchises?
quote
But I still can't get over the fact that you think reading is a waste of time.
People like you make great scholars roll in their graves.

Have fun failing in school and being a pizza delivery guy for the rest of your life.
How is reading novels or all that anime crap going to help you? It does help some people, the people who wrote it as it makes them rich, but the only reason i dont read is because i see it as a form of escapism, and I already got games for that... if u like reading a book for fun instead of going out/ playing games, then ur sad.
It helps you by improving your grammar and spelling. If you cant write or speak proper English you will get nowhere in life. Douche....

edit- soz didnt see mods post.
