I never knew why PS3 fans were so compelled to comment on a game that does not interest them...even today they still don't understand Halo's dominance over the gaming industry.
Halo 3 and Halo 3 ODST got reviewed well because the reviewers liked what they played :) What's not to understand about that? A game is a game is a game, you play it. What it "deserves" is such a stupid concept...it's merely subjective. The only truth is how much it's worth to a gamer with $$$ ...
Game baby, would you reciprocate and buy a 360? So I guess he's smarter than you :\
If it ran Windows Mobile then it literally would have thousands of apps already compatible with it.
Gosh Microsoft...it's like you have the ingredients but you lack the chef! You already have a mobile OS platform, a messenger and email suite, a music/podcasts and videos service, and a games platform. But you're only doing things halfway! Why not merge the entire platform and give us the complete package, you're already making it anyway.
Um...we can totally forget Uncharted approaching Halo 3's sales. And right now I'm even doubting that it'll be able to top ODST :\ Which means Uncharted 2 is having a tough time outboxing a game that you guys see being inferior.
For a game that's supposed to be bigger than God AND his penis, Uncharted sure doesn't bring back nearly the money that Halo does.
I don't know what's with the obsession over proclaiming GT king of graphics...you can't even really call it a great game until you've played it. It's only fair that neither game should have a final word said about them until they're out.
If it's a game of numbers, well then here you go. 8 vs 16. 400 vs 1000. Quality vs quantity...
GT5 wins in graphics...seriously? I don't see it being any better, sure it has more cars in its roster and more on screen. But those cars have less geometry detail than Forza. Plus graphics can only take you so far in a racing game, physics simulation and controls is what should be considered first and foremost.
Then there's things like course layout, game interface and menus, soundtrack, computer determination and AI, challenges and rewards, customization options, online game...
openzone, hence joke.
Jeez...you guys are so lame. It's sad you have to be here trying to win your imaginary console war. Your pathetic world is so miniscule...
...wow!
...did something just happen? Oh wait, sorry...that's the sound of Uncharted 2 fading into the wind of a thousand cheesy farts.
Well you're right not to care, that's the first step of not being a fanboy. But also you have to realize that certain games just have to have their own merit badges made up. A game can be so radically new that it SHOULD be given the creidt it deserves, even if it doesn't measure up to another game. And ther truth is that it WON'T measure up to other games since it don't FIT.
Halo 3 is like most people said "a game that reinvented a genre that didn't know it needed it"...
I edited because it sounded mean, sorry :) But yeah, it's not about what we have to prove...
Well, actually you can like something just because you do. I liked several games that got bad ratings throughout history (most notably FF8 that was so bashed by GameFan back then).
But don't think that fans are easy to please. Wasn't there once a petition for Capcom to not release DMC 4 on Xbox 360?
Nobody's an easy sell...only the people who have the money to buy anything will. The rest of us I'm pretty sure can figure out for ourselves. Like I've figured for M...
Well you're right about the engine, but it produces some insane visuals don't kid yourself. People just gave Xbox 360 this bad stigma that frankly it never deserved. Halo 3 is one beautiful game, you just have to be someone that can appreciate things on multiple parallels of critique, not just for one thing only.
And if someone tells you that something sucks you take their word for it right? Hm, well what else do you need them to hold your hands through...paper or plastic?
Anyway, it's good that Bungie gets its recognition through legendary gameplay and doesn't have to overhype graphics like other companies do. Halo 3 ODST will sell great on its own, and it'll sell Halo 3 just because people will see them both as great gifts, a twofer.
I only hope people care enough about Uncharted 2 for it to sell at least as well as ODST, since we can forget about it approaching Halo 3's sales.
edit: yeah fine whatever...that's embarrassing that ...
It's your OPINION that Halo 3 ODST's graphics suck, just as it's IGN's OPINION that they deserve a 9.0.
Guess what...you're free to disagree with an opinion, but don't confuse the disagreement for being the foundation of any FACT. The graphics are what you see them as. I think Halo 3 had great graphics and so does ODST. Therefore I PERSONALLY agree with IGN's opinion, and you don't have to.
"The graphics sucks" is not a fact, it's an opinion. The graph...
Halo 3 ODST will get a 10, which is nowhere near UC2's 9.5.
So there, be happy :D
I personally liked the Zune. That's called an opinion, look it up.
edit: yes morganfell...because coming in here to comment on something that doesn't interest you is a PERFECT use of time. my GOD...you're so smart :\
Morganfell...came to comment on a product he does not like. And tell us why it sucks, despite the fact that we all have the ability to decide for ourselves.
I need all Sony fanboys to follow his example!
edit: well morganfell that's like accepting that you're uneducated. instead of doing that you GET educated, right? okay, so to correct the err is not to ACCEPT the err.
Wow...8/10's not bad though. B- confirmed.
edit at vhero:
You mean if it was named Halo AND had the gameplay and superb replay value and excellent soundtrack of a Halo game it would get a 10/10...basically just buy a Halo game instead.
