whats up with this hype around Halo 3? I own a 360 and I didn't and still don't care. Games like Halo degrade the society with its over-the-top sci-fi feel. its almost that bad as WoW since people waste their lives on sh*t like that. maybe "this" genre just doesn't attract me, but I don't care. I lke realistic games like COD4 (my favorite FPS so far) and RTS like World in Conflict, now those are popper real life scenario simulations.

 

Halo = Nerd-making-bullsh*t.

It's people like you I really, really hate.

 

You don't like Halo, fair enough. But stop taking the piss out of the people that play it as well!

 

I play Halo a lot, oh well? I'm still gonna play GTAIV a lot.

by the way: Call of Duty 4 No. 1 in 2007 Worldwide

 

 

Activision today announced that Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is the number one title in unit sales worldwide for calendar 2007. The game sold over seven million units worldwide according to statistics garnered from The NPD Group, Chart Track and The GFK Group, respectively. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare also recently topped Halo 3 as the most played Xbox Live title.

 

"We're very excited about this achievement especially given so many competitive titles this year," said Will Kassoy, senior vice president, global brand management, Activision Publishing. "Consumer and critics agree that Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is one of the best games ever created and further establishes Call of Duty as one of the premier brands in the industry. This ground-breaking game and franchise continue to establish new standards by which all other action games will be judged."

 

so we COD fans win, and GTA should try to outsell COD4 since Halo 3 moves to #2

Will GTA 4 outsell Halo 3? Obviously since it's a multi-platform game. Will GTA 4 outsell Halo 3 on the 360 platform? Yes. First week? No. But definitely in the long run.

 

Halo 3 had a lot of major hype built up going into its launch. Not only is the game itself terribly overrated(being a big Halo fan myself, I must say I am disappointed in Halo 3. I do believe it is a solid game and definitely worth buying, but it wasn't the masterpiece I was hoping for, and not even as good as many people make it out to be), outside of Custom games online, the game is virtually no replay value. As previously stated, once you have completed campaign on Legendary, matchmaking online gets really tired really fast.

 

Also, there are many other games in the FPS genre that bare enough resemblance to it, merely because they are FPS. What I mean is that most people aren't picky about atmosphere. Whether it's futuristic or modern warfare, people just like to shoot things. Games will constantly be coming out in the FPS genre such as COD4 and the anticipated R6 Vegas 2, and these type games will probably attract more average consumers and more smart gamers.

 

GTA is a classic franchise. Not only is it a classic franchise, the only game that bares close enough resemblance to it is Saint's Row, and nobody will choose Saint's Row over GTA 4 once it hits the market. It won't have any competition. Now the fact that it won't have any competition won't help it in it's first week's sales(though it's going to do really well regardless if it surpasses Halo's or not). But in the long run, that will play a part. I do believe on the 360 system in the long run, GTA 4 will outsell Halo 3.

 

And I don't believe that COD 4 outsold Halo 3 on the 360, but combined with the PS3. I may be wrong on this, but I am under the impression that COD4 simply has more people on Xbox Live playing COD 4 than Halo does, but as far as copies sold Halo 3 has more. I may very well be wrong o that though.

It will not outsell Halo. GTA has lot its sparkle. Liberty City and Vice City Stories saw to that. Not to mention the delay. The baffling dry period in which any new news was not forthcoming. And the loss of the more...fun elements.

Plus, consider the following. Halo is a pathetic story of aliens and robots and weird planets and lasers. This is crap. But, when you think of the ammount of games with similar themes it is crap that people are happy to eat. And Halo is the best of this breed. Therefore it will do better than GTA IV.

Although I sincerely hope not.

i think it will be game number 1, i mean, im nott saying it because i like gta4, im saying it because everyone is waiting with ansiety this game, at least everyone that had played previous versions of gta. besides this game will satisfy all mean because it involves shooting, driving, and a little bit of rpg.

I think almost everyone is waiting desperately this game just like me, and cant wait for it to get out!

Shut the F*CK up.

 

Seriously, I'm starting to get tired of you people. Most of you people don't even know why you don't like Halo, you're just following the crowd.

Really? About a computer game? You're getting angry about a computer game? Why do you feel that you have to insult people? It is not that important. Why are you acting like an infant over something so trivial? If you cannot discuss this issue with maturity then don't bother. I mean, can't you be civil? Why did you feel it was important to start off with an insult?

Are you trying to tell me that this post was in any way more mature then? :

I would hope that this game outsells Halo 3, but i think its very likely. Put it this way, a kid asks his parents for Halo 3, and im certain the parent see's no harm in the game and buys it, but a kid asks for GTA IV and becasue of GTA reputation im pretty sure that kid wont be getting it.

 

I hope GTA IV will have a midnight launch to create media attention, this way many others will jump on it's hype and buy the game too. I think a gta game wasnt been released in a long time, aside from the psp titles and even though halo 2 came out the same year as San andreas did halo 2's online multiplayer kept it alive while only one person could play San Andreas.

 

And lastly, Halo 3 was an end to a trigoly, hell the end of 2 was the biggest cliffhanger-ish ending a game could have. many people went to the store to finshe a story that elasped througn 3 games, while GTA IV isnt a sequel to anything, let alone trying to call the last 3 gta's sequels to eachother. But i do hope it outsell Halo 3!

It's virtually guaranteed to do better thanks to being multi-platform (and possibly a PC release later too). If it was only available on the 360 however, then as long as it's less overrated than Halo 3 it would most likely do better. tounge.gif

If at first you don't succeed, you fail, and the test will be terminated.

Of course a multiplatform game will sell better than an xbox-only title.

 

Launch day might be totally different. I'm sure R* doesn't fancy spending millions closing down Times Square at midnight of launch day and throw a big party. Or on soft drink advertisements. But in time I'm sure it will sell better and be a better quality game overall.

I think it will sell more becuase it's for Xbox 360, PS3 and eventually PC. Also I sure as hell think it will be a better game.

I do believe it will outsell halo. My beliefs are because you have your gta fans which is basically all of the community, because who doesnt like cursing and killing and blowing shiat up. Then there is the halo nerds which will also buy gta 4 because they will take their rage out on it. Giving them a sense of power. Possibly may even provide some good wanking material for many nerds.

I seriously don't see the appeal in Halo 3.

 

"z0Mg g3t h4l0 it's awesome because everyone's getting it."

 

It's a mediocre FPS at best. If you want some real FPSs to fap to, buy the Orange Box. THAT is something that's terribly underrated hype-wise, compared to H3.

 

I bought it.. fine, played some time. All you do is shoot and drive some vehicles. It's comparable to HL2 in a way that you just go forward shoot sh*t with different things, except for the puzzle parts and the part where you actually feel the suspension in HL2 of being alone.. and the huuuge CONTINUOUS world.

It's hilarious to think that it would come within a million miles of outselling Halo on a single console. If you want to count both consoles, then double Halo's sales and you've got your answer - hell no.

 

I don't understand why so many people blindly hate Halo. I also find it hilarious that these people would refer to people that play Halo as nerds in their posts on a video game message board.

Even though Halo 3 broke all records, since GTA IV is on both consoles, I'm betting it will outsell Halo 3 eventually.

 

Oh, and go Halo!
