at least they know what a real game is now.
Also, for those games that released new, they were no chart busters, those were some weak first week numbers.
great post you almost said it all, great post.
Bioshock does have better graphics but the environments are much smaller than HALO's. Also, the water in HALO is better because you can see the ripple in the water when a vehicle or something goes in it.
As far as game of the year, COD 4 has no co-op (in an army game-FPS thats inexcusable).
MASS EFFECT, Im buying it, but I have no idea has a chance, it needs to be better than OBLIVION to do so.
since The Orange Box is so great it should sell off the hook like HALO 1 did with no hype, just word of mouth. I also think that HALF-LIFE is and was a great game but it was great years ago, MAKE A NEW HALF-LIFE, then we'll talk about higher ratings than HALO 3 & BIOSHOCK.
this is what Ive been saying for the longest time, reviewers are flat out stupid & so are these fanboys that say The Orange Box is better than HALO 3 or BIOSHOCK.
Its now voge to say HALO 3 doesnt have a good single player, the single player is fantastic and it may never end with the variety of options in it.
On normal in the HALO campaign if you activate the skull that make the Covenant throw grenades, your going to have one hell of a time trying to beat it ...
Software sales.
The 360 is making a killing, I said some time ago "the Wii can sell as many consoles as they want, they are selling consoles to a demographic that doesn't buy games, they cant win that way".
This is clearly shown with the Wii selling 14k NBA LIVE games in week 1 vs 113k for the 360 in week 1. Developers see this and will not spend the Dev time on a product that will not produce sales to recover research & development costs.
...
TalyngarTheBlack, see, who's acting like the 12 year old adolescent right now?, did I call anyone names? No. Thats what the 12 year olds do in any game online PC, PS3, 360, XBOX, any game you will have fools on at all times.
My gaming history dates back to 1977 & PONG followed in 1978 with the Atari 2600, I lived it, I didnt just try it, its all we had until the next console.
Yes, I have played ICO, & it was very boring to me, and had nothing on other adv...
To give M$ credit for assisting Bungie in the success of HALO is good. Im one to never lose a good thing and this would have been a good thing lost on both sides and a TREMENDOUS loss for us!
Im looking forward to the next iteration in the HALO UNIVERSE to be released at 12AM, at some point in the next 2 or 3 years or so?.
...............
No, HALO speaks for itself, you tell my why that slow paced TOMB RAIDER, INDIANA JONES, wannabe is so great.
There are many reasons HALO is great and sales reflect this fact. If ICO is great you & others should get a few people to buy the game or they would make another one.
Why should anyone spend development time on something that wont sell to the public.
I think the first month or so of sales for ICO was 73k, thats crap for something thats...
Now this POS here is friggin overrated! Not 1 of these ICO games will ever sell worth a damn, ever.
The reviewers can love SONY all they want but the public will not support crap, enjoy a 3rd iteration of weak-ass sales ICO.
And people want to say HALO is overrated: you dont sell wildly 3 games in a row & be overrated. No, HALO 3 is great, its just hated on by people that like garbage like ICO games.
The 360 is going to TAS on the PS3 if it has no games in the box. This holiday race wont have the PS3 as a threat to any game machine.
FIRED!
M$ owns the HALO game, period. So SONY & Wii would need to ask M$.
The Legendary edition of HALO 3 rocked, that helmet protecting the house.
but they blew this, you know, they made a great game no matter what fools say. They are going to try something else like Myth 2 or 9, Oni 2 or 7, they will never be the same.
I think BUNGIE is very selfish, they want to make themselves (about 60 people or so) happy vs. MILLIONS of people being happy. Way to go BUNGIE. Its like doing something for yourself as a parent or for your kids, I always choose my kids, my kids dont give a damn that I worked all friggin day: when I get ho...
With an 8.0 given to HEAVENLY SWORD, I guess its also better than
HALO 3?
Whatever!
These fools are trying to get attention, they dont know they just lose credibility.
Any score for HALO 3 under a 9 should be marked as a dumb ass site.
is some Bul!S#it! and I can prove it: NO ONE BOUGHT THAT CRAP!
Now for all the fools that dont like HALO 3: you cant fool millions of people to stand outside for an opening sale for back to back releases.
If the severely overrated SHADOW was so good people would stand outside for it the way they did HALO 2 & HALO 3!
See no friggin one bought ICO or SHADOW: look at the #'s for the the 1st 3 months of ICO & SHADOW of the COLOSSUS. TOTAL GA...
This wouldnt be a good move at all. Im a big HALO fan, the games are great but if they made games for all consoles, I may lose interest in the series.
I spent more than $400 on HALO 3 merchandize the week of sept. 25: 2 copies of LEGENDARY, T-shirts, wrist-bans, key chains, ect... This wouldnt be the same if they left M$.
Im a traditionalist, I love for things to stay the same because with each iteration that product that the same team makes usually gets better. ...
Ive been saying this since last year. This is all Nintendos fault, Ill say it again: when you go after non gamers you will get people that dont buy software, they are casual old people.
& whats worse is that controller, I hate it, Ive been playing games since 1977 and there was no need for a mass change in the way we play games. See, the 360 gave us what the true gaming public wanted, thats why the software sales are through the roof.
If NINTENDO would have m...
