today was the uk release of haze, my manager ordered the bare minimum of haze, convinced that it wouldnt sell well.

i thought although its been getting poor scores, it would sell well due to all the hype, i said we should order twice as many.

well i was wrong, we did not sell ONE single copy today, we are the only games shop in a big town, and we did not sell one,

even terrible games like iron man or jumper sell ok on its release.

I thought maybe it was just us, so i went in to blockbuster and the girl who I occasionaly talk to said they sold about 2 or 3 copies.

This game has been advertised yes? its meant to be big yes?

whats happened?

Haze had the same problem that Timeshift had. It got pushed back so many times that by the time it came out, nobody cared anymore. Hell, I bought the stupid thing, but I haven't even put the disk in the PS3 yet. In fact I haven't even removed the plastic wrapping from the case.

Haze should not sell, it's their own fault for being a bad game!

Its not a bad game at all. It's an average game, but it's not bad.

Well, the game was delayed, requires an installation, and was reviewed poorly by many game critics. Furthermore, the Haze demo wasn't stellar and ever since COD4 came out people are looking for first person shooters that set themselves apart from the crowd. Haze doesn't do that unfortunately, and when MGS4 comes out in less than a month people aren't going to waste their money on a game they'll play for like two weeks.

Only people claiming that were dilusional fanboys. I thought the game would be better, but no where near being a Halo killer.

There are already a bunch of Halo killers, Half Life, Unreal, and Call of Duty 4, just to name a few.

half life and unreal were out before halo 3 , so they should not be considered halo killers,for the fact that halo was not around to kill when they came out, COD 4 is good, but too easy and has a terrible ranking system, not much variation either.

Its only my opinion of course, i get quite fanboyish about halo3 ,il defend it to my death :D its a game i enjoy more than any other

Good. Haze deserves to flop in sales as bad it flopped in game scores.

Hmmm, I was actually expecting this game to see half decent sales despite the reviews and delays. I'll report on what the sales seem to be like for the game when I pick it up tommorow or later tonight.

Its a fun game, but as far as FPSs go there are quite a few better ones out there. I like Halo and it has a really fun multiplayer, but as far as multiplayer FPSs go, it won't ever dethrone Counter Strike

I agree with Gamespots score more than IGNs. I don't know why Jeff Haynes rated it so low. I would say a 6.0-6.5 at the highest.

I think it is on par with Turok which I felt was overrated.

But a 6.0 isnt a awful score. Tis a OK, score. Its not like lair or anything.
