[QUOTE="simslifer"]

[QUOTE="themyth01"] Sold 1 million in its first week if I recall correctly. According to Sony fanboys those are tremendous sales, but according to Halo standards they are indeed pretty weak, it did however outsell KZ2. themyth01

for m$ standards it's pathetic especially considering it's halo and Xbox 360 has moore systems sold.

do you have any proof halo wars sold more than killzone 2 ?

On NA, yes, it's called NPD.

and this makes ODST better how ????

Im sorry but Uncharted 2 is definitely the better title regardless if it sell millions or not. Uncharted 2 has everything thus making it a well rounded title. Halo is a big seller we all know that, the fact that you think it's a HUGE thing to mention shows.... oh wait it's you Omega! HAHA you're threads are always funny, carry on dude.

Okay so ill make this short..

After seeing that amazing trailer for ODST and the breathtaking commercial ,I think...No im certain that ODST will outsell uncharted 2 by the end of the year...With MW2 ,Tony hawk ride and brutal legend coming out..uncharted 2 will get lost in the shuffle and will be forgotten before you know it,Do u agree or disagree with my facts?

Anybody who thinks ODST won't outsell Uncharted 2 by a very wide margin should probably get their brain examined.

Probably, I mean it has Halo in the title. But will it outscore it?black_tempest
I'm thinking 8.5 or higher for a score. It'll definitely sell more the Uncharted it. I already has over 1 million pre-orders. With the holidays just around the corner, it'll probably sell 3-4 million this year along. I got both games pre-order, so I'm good for the holidays.

relax everyone with the new PS3 slim and how it's doing in sales and will do the xbox 360 will take a back seatI believe PS3 system and game sales will steal some steam away from the X360 systems and the halo expansion pack.

anyways the ones who loses are the ones paying for a $60 expansion.

lol a bigger title is one which sells more......thats pretty much economics to the companies they dont care about reviews.The more the game sells the bigger they will percieve it, i mean in this COD is a massive game with wide appeal.So from MS's standpoint this is most likely their biggest release this year as it will ship large quantities.

Uncharted will be good aswell, but as i said Uncharted isnt as established a name as halo is in the games market, so a casual walks into a shop what one do you think he will go to first the more established one which is in a sense proven and always has talk about it or a game which is critically acclaimed but you dont hear about as much?

Really its simple.

i think odst is overrated, but will outsell pretty much every game. that doesnt mean it will be better, just that it will sell more. its kinda like 50 cent, he is one of the lamest rappers out there, but will sell millions.

now i've heard it all, ODST is overrated? can you please point me to all the reviews!

I'm pretty sure Halo 3 obliterated Uncharted in the PAL regions as well. I mean outside of japan where else did Uncharted actually beat Halo 3 in sales?

Or GT. Look how the Sony fans talk about GT5 yet there is pretty much no info at all for the game.

Well... Sony fans apparently won't agree that sales matter when they have less sales. Yet after the slim came out, every Sony fanboy is talking about sales. Interesting eh? Of course Halo is going sell more... there are more players on 360 than on PS3. I'm not saying which game is better, sales figure is just a fact, it shouldn't change one's opinion towards a game.

ODST will sell a lot, but not as much as other Halo games because i think the Halo community is a bit split on spending full retail on what is essentially a mod/expansion on Halo 3. Hell, the full title is Halo 3: ODST. I think this will weaken sales.

As for the main question, will it outsell Uncharted2. Yes I think so, but not by an embarrassingly large margin. Just a margin large enough to be accounted for by the larger 360 install base. So even if and when it does outsell Uncharted 2, it won't actually say or mean anything significant.

Since when can you play sales? :| I'd rather have a fresh, intense, action packed game like Uncharted 2 that's loaded with goodies than a Metroid Prime ripoff with Halo slapped on the name. :| Seriously now. It actually seems like Naughty Dog is putting as much effort into Uncharted 2 as humanly possible... really trying to impress people... where Bungie doesn't even have to put effort into Halo:ODST because they know if they slap Halo on the name it'll sell tons anyways because lemmings have lowered their standards that much. Lemmings don't care about new franchises. Let's get real, everyone here knows lemmings would be 100% satisfied if a Halo and Gears game was released every single year with minimal changes and no other games ever released at all.

You keep talking about how Uncharted TWo is fresh and new and Halo ODST is not. You do know Uncharted TWO is a sequel right? So how is that a new franchise?

Messiahbolical-


1- The game is nothing like Metroid, and never was. Hell if we talk FPS type games. Halo came first. ODST is an open world shooter...that is nowhere near like Metroid.

2- If we are going to complain about ripoffs...um Uncharted is what Gears of War meets Tomb Raider, and a storyline that rips off all the Indiana Jones Movies :|

3- Really Bungie put no effort? Ok so they changed the character, changed the health system, changed the entire design of how the campaign works, added a new Fire Fight mode, new game mechanics, a brand new storyline and different tone to it's narrative from previous Halo games.....Which is exactly what Uncharted 2 is right? adding a new multiplayer, Coop, and improved gunplay(nothing major improvement to the core gameplay though, the platforming is still the same, and the melee is generally the same....but the gunplay is much tighter).

4- Generalizing and bad mouthing the fanboys is a valid point how exactly?

5- New franchises started on the Xbox 360- Viva Pinata, Kameo, Lost Odyssey, Gears of War, Shadow Complex, Braid, Dead Rising, Crackdown, Mass Effect, and for the future something like Alan Wake is on the way. Alan Wake for instance is one of the more hyped games of next year from lemmings. We could also keep that list of New IPs on the 360 going oh by the way


This was almost too easy :|

There's only been one Uncharted game ever and it's a new IP this gen, yet they're ALREADY making some major improvements and it's only the second game in the series. It's been wowing crowds all over the world since it was revealed and demo'd. Nobody get's wowed by Halo games anymore because they're more of the same. Halo ODST is the 5th game in it's series since last gen, and most new additions have added minimal improvements. I mean come on, it's 2009 and there's still no sprint button... 'nuff said. Halo Wars was obviously milkage of the Halo popularity. Everyone knows that game would have been a lot better not based on Halo and on the PC instead of the 360.

And correct me if I'm wrong... but wasn't Halo ODST supposed to be an expansion pack originally? Why'd they change their minds? Oh that's right... because they can release it as a completely separate game and charge full price for it and lemmings will still eat it up like it's the only game in the world.

1- The publisher makes the decision on the price tag. Can't put full blame on Bungie 2- Uncharted may be a new IP, but gameplay wise it brought as little to the table as Halo does. 3- Why the hell does Halo need a sprint button? the gameplay works better without one. It would mess with the whole feel of the game. 4- It still is an expansion pack oh by the way, The publisher felt the game was worthy of a full retail price tag.....once again can't blame it on something like they changed there minds to milk fanboys, no the game is still the same as it was always planned for the most part, the price tag change is all Microsoft if anything.

Bro just stop. You clearly did not think this through at all and coming of sounding pretty fanboyish. 1-Halo ODST is the 4th Halo game by Bungie. You say lemmings like rehash and PS3 fans like new and fresh ideas. Explain then why the 3 best selling games for the PS3 all end with a 4 CoD4,GTA4 and MGS4? To top it off those brands have all been milked more. 2-I will not debate if it is a expansion or not. Lets just say it is. it will be around the same length as Uncharted 2 and have far more online features then Uncharted 2 will have. So that is a win for the 360 fans 3-Halo wars scored pretty low here but it is a AA game on Gamerankings just like Uncharted 1. So do not act like this series your trying to brag about is so much better. 4-Also every Halo game made by Bungie is AAA unlike Uncharted

Bro just stop. You clearly did not think this through at all and coming of sounding pretty fanboyish. 1-Halo ODST is the 4th Halo game by Bungie. You say lemmings like rehash and PS3 fans like new and fresh ideas. Explain then why the 3 best selling games for the PS3 all end with a 4 CoD4,GTA4 and MGS4? To top it off those brands have all been milked more. 2-I will not debate if it is a expansion or not. Lets just say it is. it will be around the same length as Uncharted 2 and have far more online features then Uncharted 2 will have. So that is a win for the 360 fans 3-Halo wars scored pretty low here but it is a AA game on Gamerankings just like Uncharted 1. So do not act like this series your trying to brag about is so much better. 4-Also every Halo game made by Bungie is AAA unlike Uncharted



1- A better example is Ratchet and Clank. I believe that franchise is on game 6...with absolutely no change, and in fact they dropped an online feature that was on the PS2 versions but is nowhere to be found on the PS3 versions of the game...oh and they had a nice little DLC game.

2- WRONG on more online features. Its only online feature is what Fire Fight....The 2nd disc is a game that has allready been out for 2 years, and Uncharted 2 is bringing a multiplayer that is new and different, plus it's own version of Horde/firefight/terrorist hunt

3- Halo Wars sucks....that game is an abomination.....shallow RTS is just plain shallow

4- I don't think at anypoint he was arguing scores.

[QUOTE="Messiahbolical-"][QUOTE="jg4xchamp"][QUOTE="Messiahbolical-"] There's only been one Uncharted game ever and it's a new IP this gen. Halo ODST is the 5th game in it's series since last gen, and most new additions have added minimal improvements. I mean come on, it's 2009 and there's still no sprint button... 'nuff said. Halo Wars was obviously milkage of the Halo popularity. Everyone knows that game would have been a lot better not based on Halo and on the PC. And correct me if I'm wrong... but wasn't Halo ODST supposed to be an expansion pack originally? Why'd they change their minds? Oh that's right... because they can release it as a completely separate game and charge full price for it and lemmings will still eat it up like it's the only game in the world.

1- The publisher makes the decision on the price tag. Can't put full blame on Bungie 2- Uncharted may be a new IP, but gameplay wise it brought as little to the table as Halo does. 3- Why the hell does Halo need a sprint button? the gameplay works better without one. It would mess with the whole feel of the game. 4- It still is an expansion pack oh by the way, The publisher felt the game was worthy of a full retail price tag.....once again can't blame it on something like they changed there minds to milk fanboys, no the game is still the same as it was always planned for the most part, the price tag change is all Microsoft if anything.

You just basically just proved my point by implying that you don't mind paying full price for an expansion pack. Just like you don't mind paying $50 x =

Really, check the Halo 3 ODST 8-10 hours thread, and notice how much of a ripoff I think ODST is :| 2- No I don't mind paying for Live, I find a value in it, alot of my friends play on it, and its proven to be a usefull service. Would I prefer it to be free? ofcourse and nothing about my point says I don't mind paying full price, My point implies that you can't blame a franchise/developer in this situation..the blame goes straight to Microsoft. Microsoft Game Studios specifically the publisher of Halo 3: ODST.

4- I don't think at anypoint he was arguing scores.

1-I was just showing him that PS3 fans are not as into new and fresh ideas compared to 360 fans as he was acting since the best selling games for the PS3 are all ending in 4s. That does not even take in the handheld versions and what not.

2-I am not a big online gamer since I just do MMO games for that. I am just going from what I have heard. For example Forge,much more fleshed out online, Halo Reach, more maps and so on. Halo odst will offer more online then Uncharted. Yes I understand that Uncharted 2 is the first version with online but it does not change the fact. For example Halo odst will have all the Halo DLC maps.

3-I have not played Halo Wars because I do not like RTS games but how you or myself feel about the game does not change the scores. Many I am sure love the game and many hate it. The overall critic opinion is that Halo Wars is a AA game.

4-I was pointing out the scores because he was taliking like Halo was trash with the sprint and what not. I am pointing ut that the Bungie Halos are regaurded by critics as AAA games. So he can hate all he wants

[QUOTE="themyth01"][QUOTE="simslifer"]

maybe look at halo wars that flopped in score and sales.

simslifer

Sold 1 million in its first week if I recall correctly. According to Sony fanboys those are tremendous sales, but according to Halo standards they are indeed pretty weak, it did however outsell KZ2.

for m$ standards it's pathetic especially considering it's halo and Xbox 360 has moore systems sold.

do you have any proof halo wars sold more than killzone 2 ?

Halo wars is an RTS. Not a flop FPS.RTS are very very bad on PS3. Atleast Halo wars was a decent RTS game on 360

To each his own sir. I found the game to be flat out BORING. My love for Halo lore could not get me to finish that game, I just traded it away...couldn't put up with it anymore. Which is a shame because so many epic sequences from the Harvest part of Halo lore could have been so cool in a RTS environment. After Halo Wars, I'm pretty much set on not touching another Halo game not made by Bungie.

Cookigaki agrees, Uncharted 2 will be the better game though.

Honestly, I've played every FPS Halo game that's come out and they all feel exactly the same. Sure there's a lot of new multiplayer modes, but the base of the game is still exactly the same from 2001. Shooting with your ARs and BRs, hopping on ghost's and warthogs driving around and running people over... walking and jumping ridiculously slow and hiding behind shields. The reason I dislike Halo 3:ODST is because they ARE trying to do something new but they're going about it horribly. Instead of making it a Halo game they should have made it a new franchise altogether since they're changing the gameplay mechanics. I'd almost be willing to bet when the idea of Halo ODST came up at Bungie, at first it was going to be a new IP... but they decided to make it a Halo game knowing it would make them more money. Also, if it HAD to be a Halo game... why make it an expansion pack? Why charge full price for the expansion pack? Why not make it it's own game "ODST" in the Halo universe instead of "Halo 3:ODST" expansion pack? Why don't lemmings care that they'll be paying $60 for an expansion pack? :| Just like they don't care to pay $50 for XBL EVERY YEAR times how many years they've had XBL adding up to a possible $400 or more depending on what year they started subscribing to XBL. Why don't lemmings care that they can't play half of the games that they payed full price for without a XBL gold account? My whole point is that lemmings have REALLY lowered their standards lately. It seems like they don't mind being charged up the butt of stuff that should be minimal charges or come free. It also seems like lemmings ONLY care about Halo and Gears. Let's get real now, everywhere I go and there's a lemming around... all that lemming usually ever talks about is Halo or Gears. It's annoying and those 2 games are overhyped to the point where it's just ridiculous and downright obnoxious. As much as I'm impressed with Uncharted 2 so far, I'd be really disappointed if all Sony started putting effort into is Uncharted and Killzone games. Because that's all it seems like Microsoft first party is obsessed with making, or at least hyping...
