EL BENSON Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 If it receives the same amount of hype, Halo 3 was a tad ridicoulous in that aspect, and the ending was a disappointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryuclan Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 I dunno why people even like Halo, its kinda dumb imo. 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. The best Halo was the original...all the others are hyped up bull. Boss battles are lame, and the story is very 80's scifi-ish. The purchase of this game is mostly peer pressure. GTA IV on the other hand let it's fans speak for it and if you want to know the impact GTA has...walk into a game store, and wait next to the GTA IV dunny boxes, I bet you hear at least 12 people say "Man, I can't wait till the new GTA come out."

Glycerine Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 I hate Halo with every breath in my body, but there is just no chance in hell GTA IV will outsell it. At least not with in the first week or so. GTA is one of the most controversial games out. The majority of the players are underage so they need a parent or someone to buy it for them. The parents also see on the news R* being taken to court for GTA. So that makes them think twice about buying it. As with Halo you hear nothing about it after the release date. So the parent thinks that Halo is more of a kid friendly game. Again there is no chance in hell GTA IV will outsell Halo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Can we not stoop to the level of capitalist puppets, please? There's no need to feel threatened by the existence of Halo 3, and there's absolutely nothing in it for you if GTA IV sells even a trillion copies (That's 167 copies per a person, woo!) Agreed that GTA IV is a better game, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southside Dukes Ballas Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 (edited) Why wouldn't it? Every one of the past 3 GTAs have murdered the 3 Halo games in sells. GTA SA has sold over 20 million on 3 consoles with 15+ million on PS2 alone. GTA 4 will probably not sell as much as Halo 3 opening week but by years end GTA 4 would easily had pushed 8 or 9 million.

Of course not in the first week, maybe not even the first month but eventually the game's sales will catch up and destroy Halo, like it always has. Think about it, they actually gave a car away to the person who bought the first game. How lame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gooners-jay-and-scott Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Of course GTA IV will outsell Halo 3, not in the first week though, but withen time it's nearly guareented because GTA IV got a bigger fan base then Halo 3 anyway and Halo 3 only on one console, while GTA IV will be on both.

TheDude5000 Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 I say it has a very good chance. 360: 17.7 mil installed base. PS3: Somewhere around 10 mil. Huge mainstream appeal. It'll be the best selling game in 2008, most likely. Oh, and San Andreas was the best selling game of 2004. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-E316 Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 yes i think so. but does anybody know how many preorders GTA IV has? Halo 3 had like a million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j0rkeh Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Damn why is everyone hating on halo for? It is a good game, sheesh leave it alone. People should be happy GTA 4 is coming out and Halo has nothing to do with it, if you don't like Halo then f*ck it then leave it alone stop whining about how much you dislike it, it has NOTHING to do with GTA 4. Personally I don't give 2 sh*ts how many copies R* sells and especially how many copies Halo sold, as long as one of those GTA 4 copies is mine I'm good.

Algonquin Assassin Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 (edited) Don't know. Don't really care. I would rather play GTA 1 than any of the Halo games too be honest. Overhyped, and overrated IMO. This is coming from someone with a XBOX, so please don't give me the "OMG you Playstation fanboy" rubbish. Even though I have two PS2s, and a PS3 aswell. hehehe Edited January 25, 2008 by Miamivicecity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

booza Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 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. 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. thank you, they talk of the game like the second coming of jesus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flexo Slim Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Hard to tell to be honest, both popular games, but because this game has had numerous delays (meaning more and more people are discovering it) I think it might just, heres hoping anway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*C-Note* Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 They're two totally different games,but I think that GTA IV will beat Halo 3. No but really,they're two different games. It's like comparing Harry Potter to James Bond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
