[Attention] Public service announcement regarding Marathon: Durandal. on XBLA :barf: :barf:

Normally I'd just post this shit in either the 360 thread or the XBLA thread or whatever the fuck.

But I'm just making a new thread so that people might actually see it, if they own a 360 and noticed that this went up today.

There's something about Marathon that's off. Could be the frame rate, could be...fuck, I don't know WHAT it is, honestly. But there's talk of it causing motion sickness to the nth degree.

IGN says it in their review, GAF is talking about it, and most other major forums have at least someone reporting it, and I"m here to say it hit me like a ton of fucking bricks, and I've already ralphed once.

And I never get motion sick. In fact, this is the first time I think it's ever happened to me. So it's pretty major.

Just a heads up for you folks. Ugh.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Then definitely don't play this one. The old stuff NEVER got me, and I've played the old Marathon and that didn't get me either. This specific version has some issue that is just debilitating and I'm not entirely sure what it is yet.

I suspect the same can't-play-long-or-I'll-barf-so-I-won't-even-play-it will happen to most of the people who bought Marathon on XBLA

Half the people posting in some threads on various other forums are reporting feeling sick, which is quite...quite something. Obviously it's not a 1:1 ratio but it's awful high. it surprises me that people who have never gotten sick before are getting sick now, such as myself and others. It's strange.

IRC said it was probably part of the Halo 3 viral marketing campaign. "Finish the Barf". I'm inclinded to agree.

How ya doing, buddy?
