If that was the case the game was unsuccessful because it failed to live up to gamers expectations! :'(

i guess R fom was "unsuccessful"....

it was very successful. Just that reviewers hold the PS3 with much higher regard and expectations than the other consoles thats why it scored lower but if it came out on the 360 it would have scored soo much higher :'(

first of all it was hyped AAA and so no it was not successful.... also why on earth would reviewers hold PS3 FPS games on a higher level then xbox360? PS2 had no good FPS not that it matters b/c reviewers did not base PS3 games on PS2. which makes it even more bad b/c that was the First decent FPS on the PS2 OR PS3 and it still was not AAA

Let Resistance be an example as to how to overhype a game. It probably would have got AAA had it not been overhyped. :'(

The expectation for PS games are high and therefore if RFOM came out on 360 it would have got AAA :'(

enough people will just ignore Halo and remember it for what the series really is - A One Hit Wonder, much in the same vain as the Baha Men's "Who Let the Dogs Out" and the original Rocky film.  
 yo_foo

You fail. Rocky is not a one hit wonder. Rocky 1-6 are some of the best movies of all time. They pwn you. Your opinion fails.

Rocky 6 pwns this thread.

Rocky 5 is underrated just because it didnt end up in a boxing ring. I hate people who bash this masterpiece. I bet everyone wouldve complained if it ended in the ring. They wouldve accused it of the same old stuff. Im glad they went with the street fight. Just because it didnt make as much money as the previous films, dosent make it a bad movie.

The exact opposite can happen too. Look at napolean dynamite. This is the worst movie ever created yet it made millions. What is even worse is some "professional film critics" gave it great reviews. This movie is a joke. I hate it. I hate it almost as much as the piece of overrated junk ipod.

Oh, and halo 3 will be successful. Maybe not as great as Killzone PS3, but it will come close.

Rocky 4 was the best one. As for Halo, I myself aren't a huge fan of sci-fi games, but I actually know 3 casual gamers waiting for this game to come out so they can go buy a 360.

Most games need to be released around the hollidays for a good jump start in sales. Halo 3 could launch anytime of the year and it would do just fine. I know I am buying it in a heartbeat. Halo 3 will be amazing. finsh the fight 2007

Don't call me a fanboy. It is a success by the simple fact that the previous two were groundbreaking success' and oh, in case you didn't notice, there is a huge legion of fans for the series. Halo 3 will easily break or come close to breaking pre-sale records and will probably almost be, if not more, successful than the previous game in first day sales. It's simple LOGIC.

Halo: Combat Evolved. Or rather - Combat DeEvolved. That should be the slogan that Microsoft should run with for the latest in its One Hit Wonder trilogy - Halo 3.

Now don't get me wrong. Halo was a good game, although a little over rated, and fulfilled itself as the only official X-Box game worth buying the console for (although it came out on PC! Bad move). It developed tactical shooting and developed a good fanbase for those interested in that kind of thing. It had satisfactory multiplayer content which was good solid fun but also applied the use of tactics like in the missions.

Then enter Halo 2. To increase Halo fanbase, they decided to dumb the game down for those who don't have the time for tactics and made the game just a full on shooter with limited tactics and cruddy weapons. Yes Halo 1s weapons were far superior.

And now Halo 3 which promises to be a rehash of Halo 2s style of gameplay to keep these gamers who don't like to think that much and just shoot (the types of gamers who thought Doom 3 and Prey were Gods Gift to Gaming) and still keep in pretty well the same style as Tribes only without the jetpacks. Plus the same repetitive nature of the game will drastically annoy fans of the original and soon enough people will just ignore Halo and remember it for what the series really is - A One Hit Wonder, much in the same vain as the Baha Men's "Who Let the Dogs Out" and the original Rocky film.

Resistance is the Halo killer for this generation of gaming. No doubt about it.

[QUOTE="Dr_DudeMan"][QUOTE="yo_foo"]Besides PS3 has higher standards for games anyway. Resistance got a 8.7 or whatever but would have easily got a 9.9 on the 360 because the standard for games on the 360 is lower than the standard of games for the PS3. How so? Because PS2 owned XBOX. And PS3 will own the 360 :'(yo_foo
That is the dumbest thing I have ever read. Are you kidding me? The 360 has already been claimed more powerful by every developer. It has better architecture then the ps3, and games on both systems look better on the 360, so why do you defend this horrible game for this horrible system? Sometimes I feel bad for you, because you will never know what you are missing out on.

how many times do I have to own you lemmings by saying the PS3 is more powerful than the 360! I even made a 60 or so page topic which resulted in the ownage. you're wrong, the devs haven't unlocked the power of the PS3 yet. :'(

I am getting a PS3, but I would consider myself a hardcore gamer.  I'm a huge FPS fan, but selective at the same time.  I have to have the latest games, such as MotorStorm, Heavenly Sword, and Lair.  Having said that, I'm also not getting the PS3 until Metal Gear Solid 4 come out.  Which brings me to this.

I think the PS3 is trash compared to the 360.  Graphically we aren't going to see much else out of the PS3, and not only that, but I bet every single multiconsole game looks better on 360.  Every single one!  I'll bet I can put Project Gothem Racing 3 up against Gran Turismo 5, and graphically come out even.  I'm going to love picking up GT5, but I know I'll end up playing more Forza 2, and PGR 4 then anything else.

As far as Halo goes, those huys took the shooter genre over, so just deal with it.  Games like Resistance are garbage.  Heck, Call of Duty 2 is more worthy then Resistance.  There are very few great FPS, and there called Half Life(Counter Strike Source), Goldeneye 007, Perfect Dark(the first one!!), The Chronicles of Riddick, Halo, Halo 2, and the soon to be released Halo 3.  These games are put here above all others, because they were innovative and wooped ***.  For their time they are the best of the best. 

Not Killzone, Haze, Red Faction, Far Cry,  Unreal Tournament, Medal of Honor(the whole trashy series), Time Splitters, Perfect Dark Zero(Rare lost their touch), Doom 3(or any other Doom), or any other trashy clone for that matter.

Killzone 2 and Crysis will not match Halo 3.  They won't match the mutiplayer, or the campain!  Killzone 2's graphics won't be able to match Halo 3, and especially not the gameplay!!!!  Crysis looks amazing and I won't refute that at all, but as an overall game....good luck.

I'll give propes to Brothers In Arms series, and Call of Duty 2(not CoD3), but no one else.

Final Fantasy: 13.  Or rather - Final Flop.  That should be the slogan that Sony should run with for the latest in its One Hit Wonder  - Final Fantasy 12.

Now don't get me wrong.  Final Fantasy was a good game, although a little over rated, and fulfilled itself as the only official PS game worth buying the console for (although it came out on Xbox360!  Bad move).  It developed tactical combat and developed a good fanbase for those interested in that kind of thing.  It had satisfactory single player content which was good solid fun but also applied the use of tactics like in the missions.

Then enter Final Fantasy 12.  To increase Final Fantasy fanbase, they decided to dumb the game down for those who don't have the time for tactics and made the game just a full on flop with limited tactics and cruddy weapons.  Yes Final Fantasy' 7 weapons were far superior.

And now Final Fantasy 13 which promises to be a rehash of Final fantasy's 12 style of gameplay to keep these gamers who don't like to think that much and just think (the types of gamers who thought Rogue Galaxy and Kingdom Hearts  were Gods Gift to Gaming) and still keep in pretty well the same style as KOTOR only without the jetpacks.  Plus the same repetitive nature of the game will drastically annoy fans of the original and soon enough people will just ignore Final Fantasy and remember it for what the series really is - A One Hit Wonder, much in the same vain as the Baha Men's "Who Let the Dogs Out" and the original Rocky film. 

Mass Effect is the Final Fantasy killer for this generation of gaming.  No doubt about it.

Jesus Christ, you have a very deluded view of the world. So let me wake you up from your ludicracy, here's how the world works: When a game sells 500,000, it is a success. When a game sell 1,000,000 it is a success. When a game sells 5,000,000 it is a success When a game sells, as you said, "only" 7,000,000, it is a major success. I'm sorry to have to say this, but ALL of the games you listed were incredibly success'. Please PLEASE stop thinking you know what you're talking about. Also notable is that none of the games you listed match up in Halo's hit caliber. This is a game whose sequel was so anticipated it broke single day entertainment records and easily sold hundreds of thousands (if not more) Xbox's. I am not saying those games are not good, nor am I saying that Halo 3 is an awesome, incredibly game, I am saying Halo in it self is a franchise which commands a following and hype train that will AUTOMATICALLY make it a success on day one of PRE - SALES. Please, for everyones sake, get your head out of your butt. That goes for all of you, including the thread starter.

I am not saying those games are not good, nor am I saying that Halo 3 is an awesome, incredibly game, I am saying Halo in it self is a franchise which commands a following and hype train that will AUTOMATICALLY make it a success on day one of PRE - SALES. Please, for everyones sake, get your head out of your butt. That goes for all of you, including the thread starter.

im sorry but you have a very deluded view on the world. so lets say you you make 50 grand a year but for some reason had to move and now your next job is paying you 25 grand a year would you call that a successful business decision:|:?. im not saying that 1 mil is not successful but when a game use to sell 10x that amount and now its barely scratch what average or generic games are selling than you know there's a problem. i guess if GTA4 sold like 3 million you would call it a success:roll:

Let me say this, saleswise; I know about 20 real-life 360 owners and not one of them are not planning on getting Halo 3.

[QUOTE="yo_foo"]enough people will just ignore Halo and remember it for what the series really is - A One Hit Wonder, much in the same vain as the Baha Men's "Who Let the Dogs Out" and the original Rocky film.

You fail. Rocky is not a one hit wonder. Rocky 1-6 are some of the best movies of all time. They pwn you. Your opinion fails.

Rocky 6 pwns this thread.

Rocky 5 is underrated just because it didnt end up in a boxing ring. I hate people who bash this masterpiece. I bet everyone wouldve complained if it ended in the ring. They wouldve accused it of the same old stuff. Im glad they went with the street fight. Just because it didnt make as much money as the previous films, dosent make it a bad movie.

The exact opposite can happen too. Look at napolean dynamite. This is the worst movie ever created yet it made millions. What is even worse is some "professional film critics" gave it great reviews. This movie is a joke. I hate it. I hate it almost as much as the piece of overrated junk ipod.

Oh, and halo 3 will be successful. Maybe not as great as Killzone PS3, but it will come close.

/RANT.

Hmmm and the critics certianly agreed with you... :?

You could say EXACTLY the same thing about your opinion with Halo 2. :| Self-owned or what...

Halo 3 will be successful. This is just some cow's opinion who's run out of things he/she can back up PS3 with, so he/she picks out GR8 360 games.

Final Fantasy: 13. Or rather - Final Flop. That should be the slogan that Sony should run with for the latest in its One Hit Wonder - Final Fantasy 12.

Now don't get me wrong. Final Fantasy was a good game, although a little over rated, and fulfilled itself as the only official PS game worth buying the console for (although it came out on Xbox360! Bad move). It developed tactical combat and developed a good fanbase for those interested in that kind of thing. It had satisfactory single player content which was good solid fun but also applied the use of tactics like in the missions.

Then enter Final Fantasy 12. To increase Final Fantasy fanbase, they decided to dumb the game down for those who don't have the time for tactics and made the game just a full on flop with limited tactics and cruddy weapons. Yes Final Fantasy' 7 weapons were far superior.

And now Final Fantasy 13 which promises to be a rehash of Final fantasy's 12 style of gameplay to keep these gamers who don't like to think that much and just think (the types of gamers who thought Rogue Galaxy and Kingdom Hearts were Gods Gift to Gaming) and still keep in pretty well the same style as KOTOR only without the jetpacks. Plus the same repetitive nature of the game will drastically annoy fans of the original and soon enough people will just ignore Final Fantasy and remember it for what the series really is - A One Hit Wonder, much in the same vain as the Baha Men's "Who Let the Dogs Out" and the original Rocky film.

Mass Effect is the Final Fantasy killer for this generation of gaming. No doubt about it.

resistance, the halo killer.... right....i've heard mgs4 (which i think will be an awesome game) the halo killer, but never resistance...

halo 3 will be successful, will it be more succesful then resistance? probably because:

1.it's coming out later, giving bungie time to work on it

2. so much people are hooked on halo1 and 2 that halo 3 is bound to sell a crap load of copies

IMO, you should have chosen MGS4 to be the halo killer.... MGS4 vs. Halo 3... can't wait

Halo: Combat Evolved.  Or rather - Combat DeEvolved.  That should be the slogan that Microsoft should run with for the latest in its One Hit Wonder trilogy - Halo 3.

Now don't get me wrong.  Halo was a good game, although a little over rated, and fulfilled itself as the only official X-Box game worth buying the console for (although it came out on PC!  Bad move).  It developed tactical shooting and developed a good fanbase for those interested in that kind of thing.  It had satisfactory multiplayer content which was good solid fun but also applied the use of tactics like in the missions.

Then enter Halo 2.  To increase Halo fanbase, they decided to dumb the game down for those who don't have the time for tactics and made the game just a full on shooter with limited tactics and cruddy weapons.  Yes Halo 1s weapons were far superior.

And now Halo 3 which promises to be a rehash of Halo 2s style of gameplay to keep these gamers who don't like to think that much and just shoot (the types of gamers who thought Doom 3 and Prey were Gods Gift to Gaming) and still keep in pretty well the same style as Tribes only without the jetpacks.  Plus the same repetitive nature of the game will drastically annoy fans of the original and soon enough people will just ignore Halo and remember it for what the series really is - A One Hit Wonder, much in the same vain as the Baha Men's "Who Let the Dogs Out" and the original Rocky film. 

Resistance is the Halo killer for this generation of gaming.  No doubt about it.

MGS4 is not a first person shooter so comparing them would be stupid. its better if they hype killzone or resistance or whatever, and beside MGS4 is third party its got to be sony first party vs MS first party

Got to give it to that crazy Aussie, he managed to get over 1000 post on a joke topic to make the fanboys go crazy. Bravo sir, bravo. Also did any of you on here think for one second that maybe, just maybe, any response you came up with he would just disagree with just to get you worked up? Again, congrats on this histaria that you managed to create.

not only that but fanal fantasy has been the best rpg frachise ever, not just because of its fans and good reviews, but i dont see many other games with15+ games that span over 5 generations and stil scores AAA and wins best ps2 game. mass effect looks awsome but saying final fnantasy will flop is stupider than saying halo 3 will flop. because halo 3 has a slim, slim chance ofthe game being bad (i dont think it will be but it COULD happen but not likeley) becausen there has only been two games to build on
