...Not everyone likes the same thing nor will everyone give a game a perfect score. So it got a 93, WHO THE FRACK CARES.
SOme of you are saying it should have gotten higher. If not a 10, what would make you happy? A 9.4? 9.7? 9.8? Please, wy does a few tenths of a point really mean THAT much to you? Is there something in those TENTHS OF A POINT that is the difference between you jizzing your pants and not or something?
JESUS TAP DANCING CHRIST!! You guys are the whi...
...since the only thing the PS3 has shown that is better than the 360 is the graphics and if you think graphics equal innovation than YOU ARE RETARDED.
....who keep saying "dust off the PS3" Did you NOT read the article? Most PS3 games, while fun, are really nothing more than GRAPHICAL POWERHOUSES. That is to say, like KZ2, yes, the graphics are great BUT, there has NOT been a big leap in FPS games since what, Half Life 2? Yes, the GRAPHICS are better but that is it. If you ACTUALLY READ the article, the dude explains that improved graphics are not really an innovation since graphics will always improve from one gen to the nex...
....even though the head of the game division at the time of the PS3 launch was quoted often saying things like "People will work overtime oreven get another job to afford our system," or "The hi defconsole era begins when WE say so." Yea they have NEVER doe that.
Thats the problem with the elite of Japan, they start small and when tey get huge, they are no longer humble people to their consumers, they get big egos, think that they dictate everything, and that p...
...so you had a problem with this study but I bet you didnt have a problem with the GI 4% number that was a survey of 5,000 readers which could have been answered by ANYONE, even those who never BOUGHT a 360?
If you thought that was a BS study then my bad, but if you take that to be more truthful then you gots you some issues BUDDY :-P
....like at the begiing on the plane, when it cuts to the inside, there is no background noise. I dont know about you but everytime ive been on a plane you can hear the engines, also, in every movie, you can hear the engines as well. This is a minor nit pick but small things like that take me out of it.
...yes, being out this long and not having sold the same numbers as the FPS Halo's then yes, it is/was a dissapointment because after all, we are comparing games with the name HALO on it.
Ok, the review score was a lil OT but I figured I would throw that in there just for the heck of it.
Would WARS have sold as much without Halo name? Hard to say, but if the game is as it is and didnt have the Halo name, I htink it would be close since it did get MOSTLY ok reviews and many...
...considering that up to now the most talked about exclusive for the PS3 (notice I said up to now since i am only counting games that are out for the thing thus the reason why I am not going to say uncharted 2 for instance) has been KZ2 and only what, 9% of the PS3 populace bought it, though I think GT5 will easily get to 6 or 7 million, things dont bode well for GT5 to surpass H3.
Get mad if you like but lets face it, if you go by percentages, PS3 exclusives are being played by...
...you and others say that ANYTHING with HALO on it will sell well and in looking at the numbers, HALO wars was actually a disappointment. So what is it, when something doen's sell as high as other HALO games you spin to say "Well, it wasa an RTS so that is why." You can't have it both ways. Either stick to the "It sells a kajillion copies cause of the HALO name," or wake up and realize that not everything with the name HALO on it will sell as well as you think.
...I enjoyed the Novel and since we know noting of this game, there could even be at least flashbacks of one of his first missions as a 13 year old (maybe 15, been a bit since i read it) going after a rogue admiral or even the training grounds where at 7 he ran through it and clanged the bell first but lost since the whole team didnt do it.
Considering the amount of team work used in the novel, i would be surprised if there were no team type aspects in this game.
I am hearing that UC2 should be in top ten yet these are the same fanboys that say sales dont matter whenever a 360 game sells well.
I mean lets say UC2 was number 1 for a few weeks they will say "Hahahahah, UC2 is selling a lot and that is awesome," but then it drops and they say sales dont matter.
Which is it guys? Or do sales only matter if it is a PS3 game?
I mean we will all see/hear about TEH SALEZ if say UC2 outsells ODST in the first 24 hour...
...."People will work OT to buy our system," or the (in)famous "The HD era of gaming begins when we say it begins," but an MS company makes a few comments and they are being called out on it?
.....any idiot that brings up ONE engine so far used only for ONE game in a list of engines that have been around forever and have been used to make a butt load of games, he deserves the hazing. Nothing wrong with liking KZ2 or it's engine but to say it is the most successful shows either you are a new gamer or didnt understand the point of the article and either way it is (or if it is even both) it makes one look like a fanboy for saying as such.
How can the KZ2 engine be the most successful ever since it has only been made for ad used for ONE game? Now if others start to use it then maybe but, it has yet to stand the test of time like the others so please, just, wait ok? It would be like calling KZ2 the best game ever made when it just came out and it hasnt been around long enough for people to still be talking about it like mario, sonic, snake, halo, etc....
,,,,have you PLAYED U2 since, you know, we are still like 2 weeks or so from release? You haven't? Ok then, everything you just said means jack.
I hate when people say how great a game is and saying it is the greatest game ever yet they have not played it yet.
To those who fall into that category READING REVIEWS AND PREVIEWS OF A GAME FROM OTHER PEOPLE WHEN YOU YOURSELF HAVE NOT PLAYED IT YET PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, STFU SINCE YOU CANT REALLY GIVE AN OPINION ON A G...
At any rate, yea, there are a few spartans alive after the fall of reach. The book was pretty good but I just pray to GOD that it doesnt follow the book closely to where we will have a 12 year old Master Chief along with other 12 year olds attacking a space station to apprehend a rogue admiral.
Still, a true HALO prequel that is FPS with a new engine....I am cautiously optimistic. I am a HALO fan but even I would like to see a good siz...
.....and by that if you remember that the controls are slugish and adjust to that, you will be ok, to say it is more hard core or not for new gamers is a farce. I love how the spin comes in that a game with sluggish/delayed controls is makes it more realistic as opposed to making it what it truly is, sluggish and delayed controls.
Next thing you know these same things like Mario say will find their way into fighting games and when people basj it for controls being sluggish he an...
You are kiding right? There is not much of a story (ok, we invade this planet, arrest Visari, that is it), I mean why are you there? why are you trying to arrest visari? Why are you dropping into a hot zone in AN OPEN CART WHERE SNIPERS CAN PICK YOU OFF WITH EASE??? Yes, having played KZ1 will let you know what is going on but they never at ANY time do anything even in dialogue, let you know what happened before. At least with Halo, every game they talk at one point or another about what s...

...has yet to crack 2 mil? It has the name HALO in the title yet it is at about the same number as KZ2.
Also, why was there not as much hype for HW?
Wy did not more stores do midnight for HALO wars?
Why is it that HALO wars didnt't even reach 1 mil preorders?
Why is it that HALO wars has nowhere NEAR the number of players playing ONLINE as H3/odst?
Basically, though it did over a million and is the best selling RTS ever on a conso...

Way to lift a scene almost 100% from james Camerron's 1994 film True Lies, I will say I think Jamie Lee Curtis did it better though.
