High Profile journalist vomits after playing Halo 3 due to 'weird' zooming effect

[Zeus]

High profile video game journalist Dean Takashi has revealed that during his review of Halo 3 he actually vomited while playing the game which took him 12 hours to complete. During some late stages of the gameplay, he experienced a weird zooming effect in the graphics and the terrain gave him a feeling of motion sickness which resulted in him spewing. However, Takashi reassures us that this doesn't mean it is a bad game it has just taught him that he will never be playing Halo 3 on the Championship Gaming Series.


Lest you all think I am a bad ass, I should mention I vomited while playing “Halo 3.'’ I am sure that Bungie didn’t anticipate that I would have such a visceral reaction to their handiwork. This ensures I will never I will never be playing Halo 3 on the Championship Gaming Series on DirecTv.

But the fact that I vomited doesn’t mean it’s a bad game. During the 11th hour of the game, a weird zooming effect in the graphics and the intestinal terrain gave me a sharp feeling of motion sickness. I went right back to playing. After all, that was the Spartan thing to do, and this was a game created over three years by 120 engineers and artists at Microsoft’s Bungie Studios, at a cost of tens of millions. I felt an obligation to finish.

what a ***** !

That's why they have warnings about irritating eyes, epileptic problems, vomiting and all that stuff. Was he playing straight for 12 hours :confused:???

[Xenogears V]

Is normal after 12 hours.

Why the **** do you review games if you have health issues that make you vomit from playing and how is it at all relevant to the game and its content? Obviously by mentioning it you literally vomit on the game.

[Resident0]

I experienced the same thing its a dodgy framerate that causes it.

[sparda0]

that is so weird, because I vomited while just hearing about this overhyped peace of garbage. I can see it now, "surgeon general warns the public of playing halo 3 because of sh!tty, crappy halo 1 graphics!"

Its a well known fact that persons of asian decent cannot handle fps. That is why fps is not popular among asian countries. This also explains why asians are believed to be bad drivers. Must be something about their tiny eye slits.

Takashi? Dead giveaway.

If you wondered why Lost Planet had a tps with the aimer not locked onto the players camer control, dont wonder anymore. The game was devaloped by asians at capcom.

You are one ignorant **** aren't you? Stop stereotyping and play some Halo 3.

[MadonnaProject]

(if halo 3 was a japanese made game i bet this guy wouldnt be so sick).
