Does everyone believe GTA IV will outsell Halo 3?

Why do you people have such a problem with Halo? Did it pull your hair and call you names? No one is making you buy it. lol.gif

its because the majority of people on this thread are PS3 fanboys that dont want to admit it

I beg to differ, I have both consoles and I love Halo 3 and I praise its multiplayer, but you can't deny it's one of the most overrated games out there.

That all depends if you rely on other peoples opinions instead of your own.

I can assure you friend, most people think the way I do. Having been around all sorts of forums on my free time most people seem to agree on the subject, even the most of hardcore halo fans. This in no way implies Halo 3 is a bad game, overrated? Yes, it has made some people overlook the genius of Call Of Duty's 4 multiplayer.

 

For the sake of this topic, that's all I have to say on this, if you wish to discuss this more do it via PM.

I hope so. I've never been a big Halo fan. Granted, I've never played the game, but I feel I'm justified in my completely biased opinion.

I sure do hope so. An FPS couldn't possibly be more overrated. The genre just simply doesn't have the capacity to deliver an immersive and fun, awesome experience like a free  roam game can (namely GTA, of course!).

YOUR RIGHT DUDE..........I HATE FPS GAMES........SO CHEAP LOOKING & GAME PLAY IS JUST TERRIBLE..... suicidal.gif

Turn your caps lock off, that way you may sound at least 10 years old.

WHY! CAN I NOT WRITE LIKE THAT OR SOMETHING......YOU CAN STILL READ IT......YOUR NOT GOING TO PUT THE HANDCUFFS ON ME NOW BECAUSE I DID NOT OBEY THE FORUM LAWS..... I DID NOT KNOW THEY HAD THEM FOR CAPS LOCK.......PLEASE ... TELL ME ? notify.gif

Halo is only for Xbox,and GTA 4 is for both Xbox and Playstation,so I think it will sell more since it's for more than one console.

PROBLEM IS, ITS LIKE YOU ARE CONSTANTLY SHOUTING AND IT LOOKS REALLY STUPID.

Oh ok.....Sorry sneaky2.gif I did not know i could shout through typing ( that was not sarcastic......... was it )

Knife's right. It's not me that looks like a moron.

 

And it's not the size of the text, it's because everything's a capital.

 

are you listening? See, polite.

 

ARE YOU LISTENING? Sounds aggresive.

 

@topic - I'd like to think GTA 4 will surpass Halo 3 sales, the all time sales will definately, but I think Halo 3 has more fanboys who'd cut their arm off to get Halo 3 if they had to.

Nah I see what you're getting at, but I just don't buy games from hype, what people rate them on etc, I never take notice of review scores either. I thought Halo 2 was a disgrace to Halo 1, so I had no hope for Halo 3; but as the release date was like a week away, I had a look at some of the features, bought the game before college and was pretty amazed.

 

Call of Duty 4 though, hands down one of the best games I have ever played in my life. I absolutely love Kane and Lynch too, even though that hasn't exactly had "good" feedback from the gaming world.

Halo 3 is the fastest selling entertainment product in history.  It's highly unlikely that GTA IV will sell faster, even on 2 consoles simultaneously.

Prior to Halo 3's release (and Halo 3 was a good, but much over-rated game) I believe the fastest selling videogame of all time was GTA: Vice City (EDIT: just checked and it was actually San Andreas), and that was released way back in the day. So it is possible that Rockstar will do it again, although I personally doubt it.

 

Overall sales will go to GTA IV without a shadow of a doubt, but it won't be able to match Halo 3 for speed.

 

Off topic:

I really don't understand the hype surrounding Halo and Halo 3 in particular. At best it's a better than average FPS, and at worst, it's an unimaginative semi-sequel to a tired franchise.

 

And yes I've played Halo 2 and 3 on both single player and multi player modes on Xbox 360 and PC (well, my Mac). I never played Halo 1 because I never had an original Xbox.

 

Can anyone (who isn't a Halo fanboy) explain the cult of Halo?

Yes, because Halo was only sold on 1 console, and this is being sold on 2 counsoles, plus the possibility of a PC version. I mean, did you see Guitar Hero 3? They made a billion dollars off that game, it was in the newspaper. Even though it was sold for PS2,PS3,Xbox360,PC, and Mac, imagine the potential GTA4 can do.

I really hope so.

 

After so much work has been put in this game, it deserves to.

I think no.

 

People who say yes, are fooling themselves. I would like to think it too, but most ordinary people have no idea about this game at all.

 

For example, everyone in my school knows about Halo 3, heck, the school even organised a tornament at lunchtime the day it came out.

 

GTAIV on the other hand, isn't known by even half the people in my school. Infact, I actually walked past someone who was talking to a friend, and he was saying things like "yo i cant wait gtaiv where i can bust some niggaaz again." And stuff. People are just so misinformed.

 

 

And to knock fps shooters in general because of one game, turns you into a tw*t. okies?

I did some googeling "GTA IV vs Halo 3"

so i my opinion it looks like GTA will do it smile.gif

In the long run GTA will beat out Halo but I don't know if it will outsell it on day one...

If R* hypes it, then yes. But if they let the game build hype by itself, then maybe not.

I agree with you.

 

Halo had tooo much hyped. GTA IV needs to get some of that, and R* needs to do it.

Rockstar aren't going to waste 4 years of work so the hype will be HUGE!!

I don't think so, they barely hype it now. No demo (thank God) no weekly developer jounals, none of that stuff just word of mouth and dummy boxes.

I surely hope so. Everything to put a damper on the people that blindly praise the game. I'm getting tired of everyone and their uncle making up nick names composed of the three words Master, Chief, and Halo. Cockapes.

Yeah i agree. I play it and found nothing special about it. But the only people that say Halo is best are xbox fanboys well in my school until they play call of duty 4 that is.
