[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 ?

It hit 1 million sold way before Killzone 2, despite being released later (worldwide). Lmao, for a hyped FPS like Killzone 2, that's a shame. :lol: And having more systems sold doesn't mean anything, Halo 3 was released with far lower user base than Killzone 2 on PS3, yet it destroyed it. Try again? Also, ODST will DESTROY Uncharted 2 in sales AND scores.

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

Cookigaki
No, it will not. Uncharted 2 is a sequel to an AA games that no one cared about months after release. ODST is the sequel to a 9.5 game that is played by 1 million unique individuals 2 years after release. ODST will destory Uncharted 2, it's logic..

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

jg4xchamp

I find your opinion quite farcical.

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.

Too bad you did, I find the game was entertaining. Too bad for your sake the general reviewer (AA) agrees with me. :lol:

You could get goat, stamp "Halo" on the side and it would outsell all the decent games out these.

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... Messiahbolical-


1- Core mechanics stayed the same, but the sublte differences make Halo 3 a vastly different experience from Halo 1. Halo 1 was the slowest, the jumping was at its shortest, you were weaker as well, and the guns were limited, no vehicle jacking, duel wielding, less stuff, less multiplayer options. Halo 2 cranked up the gameplay up a notch new weapons, changed the pace of the game, etc. Much better MP experience, narrative sort of flopped though. Halo 3 ok new additions were mostly equipment, but the multiplayer was improved in so many progressive ways that it is almost night and day versus Halo 2. Similar mechanics yes, but different enough to warrent a sequel tag.

I believe Uncharted's core mechanics are also the same outside of the gunplay being improved upon,which i find contradicting that you bash Halo for not changing, but Uncharted is keeping the same mechanics while only adding multiplayer(3 player coop, its horde thing, and competitive mp) instead of chaning its gameplay mechanics.

2- Didn't you just complain ODST wasn't doing anything new? also no thats not how ODST started. LINK
Bungie since day one planned it as a Halo game. Initially it was suppose to have Arbiter and Chief.

3- The 60 dollar price tag is complained about all the time from alot of Halo 3 fans as much as it's defended :|

4- 50 bucks a year is annoying I'll give you that. But generaizing again?

5- um wrong. lemmings have hyped Alan Wake, Crackdown, Banjo, FOrza 3(come on now), PGR 4, Mass Effect when it was exclusive, SplinterCell Conviction, etc. Halo and Gears of War just happen to be major block buster titles with larger fanbases. Kind of like how so many PS3 fanboys on this forum also happen to be MGS fanboys is as well. its not a matter of MGS 4 being the only game, as much as MGS just has the biggest fanbase.

6- Microsoft 1st party published this gen 2 viva pinata games, PDZ, Crackdown, Forza 2 and 3, PGR 3 and 4, Mass Effect 1, Fable 2(with Fable 3 on the way), Shadow Complex, Lost Odyssey, with Alan Wake next year as well. Microsoft just hypes the other 2 more, because well the audience they attract is broader and the franchises have gotten to be big. 1st Party I agree though Sony pretty much hands Microsoft there ass in that department.

Do not disagree with Cookigaki, Cookigaki is right when he says things. Halo 3 ODST is part of a mindless fps family branch that will never break away from its origin..Uncharted 2 among thieves is a sequel to a fun action/platformer/tps game..

Halo games on Xbox platforms always have.

thens1563

uncharted 1 has sold more copies than halo wars... a halo game on an xbox platform

I don't even know how I started arguing about sales in the first place. All I was trying to say is that even if ODST does outsell U2, U2 will still be the better game.

Oh, so you played both? Didn't think so. :lol: ODST is from Bungie, a developer that can never produce a Halo game with less than AAA score. CE: AAA H2: AAA H3: AAA. Uncharted? AA. Lol, you see, ODST will easily be the better game than Uncharted 2. I'm using logic.

thats obvious, ODST could suck, but its still an FPS halo game and is almost guaranteed to outsell everything this year with the possible exception of GT 5, as GT is the only game that is (I think) coming out this year that has a huge name like Halo ODST. Uncharted 2 is popular for forumites but not much for casuals, Scribblenauts might do okay but probably nowhere near as well as those 2, and any other large releases as I said with Uncharted, dont have big enough names really...

oh, New Super Mario Bros Wii may have a chance to beat it too.

Didn't you forget MW2? Not even ODST comes close to it. :D

So what if a game with the name Halo sells well? If you have made 3 games, that all've been AAA and just superb quality; that does make a name famous.

Of course ODST is going to sell more, I don't really think anyone thinks otherwise, and since it's developed by Bungie, I have no doubt it's going to be very good. Whether it's better than Uncharted 2 however, we shall see.

Yeah it probably will but that doesn't mean it will be the better game. You could take big rigs, stick Halo on it and it would sell a million plus copies.

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

there are no rts on PS3

halo wars was not decent it was a complete disaster 6.5

thats a lie we don't know if halo wars hit 1 million beforekillzone 2 because in it's first 3 days Killzone 2 hit 750,000 the report of halo wars hitting a million came in a couple of weeks of it being released.

it's quite pitiful especially for a game with the name halo on it it shouldve sold a million in it's first day.

at least killzone 2 has an excuse nobody knows of killzone and the last game scored a 6.7

I agree that ODST will outsell Uncharted 2 BUT! not because Uncharted 2 will lose itself in the shuffle. Simply because Halo is...well Halo and it sells like hot potatoes.

it wont make a difference. this is the exact (quote me if you will) order on how the games will be scored and sold this year. Modern Warfare 2>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>ODST>>>>>>>>>>>>Uncharted 2 Ratings and sales, anyone who thinks otherwise that uncharted 2 could even come close to either of them when the first one isnt even AAA on gamerankings is either delusional, a fanboy, or both.

Sales or quality, I wonder which is more relevant to me (and gamers). The latter, and if ODST isn't more of a quality game, it doesn't matter what it sells (i.e. unless you're in System Wars). Tough question, tough question. We counting expansions these days? :P

Or maybe you are delusional, a fanboy or both? There's always that chance.

so you honestly think that uncharted 2 is going to score higher and sell better than either of those games? considering that uncharted 1 hasnt even sold as much as the very first halo, let alone any call of duty game, is is never going to happen. and the scores history of the games speak for themselves. both IW cod games and bungie halo games are AAA, and uncharted only mustered AA. It would take a near miracle for that order to switch.
