While I'm not a big fan of the Halo series (sorry halo fanboys) I did enjoy this game. But that's not what my blog is about! It amazes me how many people can't pronounce this name correctly. As most of you know, I work at Gamestop and I get to see my fair share of idiots. I don't know how many times someone came up to the counter asking for Halo 3 Odyssey or better yet Halo 3 "Oast". Seriously, WTF?! These weren't children, these were grown adults who I know have been through school. First example...
Guy 1: "Hi, I'd like to pre-order the new Halo 3: "Oast".
Me: "You mean O.D.S.T?"
Guy 1: "Oh is that what it is?"
Me: "Um yea. Do you want to know what it stands for?"
Guy 1: "Nah, I'm just gonna play it online with my friends anyway."
I mean, yea, Halo is popular for online play. But the fact that you don't even know the title of the game, anything its about or even how to pronounce it and you're buying it just because your friends are! Blah! Example 2...
Guy 2: "I want to put money on Halo Odyssey."
Me: "Which game?"
Guy 2: "The new halo"
Me: "You mean, Halo 3: O.D.S.T?"
Guy 2: "Yea that."
Me: "Do you want to know what it stands for?"
Guy 2: "Nope, it's got Halo in the title, that's enough for me. As long as it's not like Halo Wars."
Um, so you're buying a game just because Halo is in the title. No research at all and you don't even know the full title. Maybe it's just me, but I like to research games before buying them. I don't know how many people bought Halo Wars just because Halo was in the title and then ended up hating it because it wasn't an FPS. RESEARCH IT PEOPLE! And before you walk into a game store and make a complete fool of yourself, learn what the title of the game is as well!
It's not Grand theft auto i. v. It's Grand Theft Auto 4! It's not the Wii 2. It's not the W. I .I. It's just the Wii! Come on people, give me a break!
