Is 60 BUcks for an outdated game (halo 3 odst) worththe price?

For starters the graphics is umm how can i say it kindly , very ugly. 2 the game play doesnt look to be better then halo 3. so why pay 60 bucks for a game that looks like its 4 years old?

I came here expecting reaoning, all I got was........................................what did I get? :| What exactly about ODST makes it outdated again?

because games from 2005 can still look good i guess?

and i may have the story, gameplay etc

the gameplay looks fine and its a new game, well have to see if its worth the money though cause im not sure how much they are really adding, but the one thing i didnt understand i saw some of the ingame cutscenes and your right its really really ugly, like im surpised bungie with all the money they have cant do anything about that but i mean its not outdated

1. Only fanboys care about graphics.
2. The graphics aren't ugly, its a great looking game. I just doesn't look amazing like most game do now.
3. The gameplay has never been bad in Halo, and Bunge changed a few things to balance it well.
4. The game comes with all of the Halo 3 maps (downloadable only I think).
5. It has Firefight, a survival mode for the Halo series.
6. It comes with Halo: Reach Beta.
7. The game itself is not an expansion anymore. In the last year, Bungie has added much more thing to the game where it is longer and is able to stand alone from the rest of the series.
8. I don't see how its outdated.

Just remember, when Halo ODST acheives yet another trifecta (High Score, High Sales and Continued Replayability,) cows will start the 'be bu bu teh over rated' mantra again. Want to bet this game outsells all of Sony's supposed high quality library this year?

Hey well, with how fast users are getting ban now its hard to keep up :P Seriously though, I wonder how people can honestly think the next Halo game is outdated? Maybe not graphical masterpieces or anything but outdated?

i dont get it FPS are still copying the things Halo 3 did yet its outdated? Halo 3 ODST will bea great game, and looks like the Single player is going back to its roots, and is going to be alot more in depth. A new MP mode which i concede is a variation of horde mode looks like it will be fun, and fully believe Bungie will make sure to make it as unique as possible. Why are fanboys so blind, and delusional? wait dont answer that.

[QUOTE="xbox360isgr8t"][QUOTE="Brownesque"] A beta is not a legitimate reason to buy a game.... Betas are for free....they are legitimate pre-order bonuses and legitimate select downloads to applicants, but this idea that a piece of software is worth more because it includes a beta is....wow.

Yup, $60 for a future AAA game is hella much! New 5-6 hour single player campaign unique to the Halo games, co-op horde-like mode, all the Halo 3 maps, and more. If $60 is a lot for this, then you shouldn't be into this hobby to begin with, no offense. It's not a cheap hobby.

Oh boy...

Wrong.

Players were given access to the inFAMOUS demo when they pre-ordered the game. The Uncharted 2 beta key is included with copies of the game.

Notice how it says you receive the Uncharted 2 beta voucher when you purchase inFAMOUS.

I must say that overall ODST looks WAY more appealing to me then Halo 3, Im a sucker for Urban warfare :3 even if it is nothing gameplay changing.

I am a bit nervous about the "flashjumping" between characters in the game, I doubt I will like that part, but a more or less FreeRoaming Halo game, that is darker more moody and (seems to me) more thought out? Ill bite, and I really diddnt like Halo 2 or 3...

[QUOTE="xbox360isgr8t"]

[QUOTE="Brownesque"] That included an access key to the Uncharted 2 beta on PRE-ORDER. The thing about pre-orders is that they involve a 5 dollar deposit and are completely refundable, meaning you can pay them five dollars, get the beta key, then cancel the pre-order. They're actually requiring you to buy the game in order to get the beta, which isn't a dishonest practice, it's actually cool, but please don't pretend it's the coolest "feature" ever. It shouldn't even be on that list.Brownesque

also ms is great at advertising and selling many of there games. you dont like it fine. but guess what this is a business and you want to sell products. if you dont likehow ms does business then dont buy any of there products and get over it. also your whole lil point about if ms read my comment is total bs. my money is mine and i can spend it the way i choose.

$60 for a game that looks better than it's predecessor

Has more content than lots of $60 games.

Has more content than it's predecessor including multiple map packs that all cost money.

Has a beta key for the next Halo game. **** all you want about it not being free, and nobody will actually care.

And to top it all off it will score AAA.

$60 for a game that's going to be better, and have more content than 95% of games out there? Sign me up.

1- Graphics aren't impressive on a technical level, but the Halo artsty-le has always een good 2- There are TOO many games this gen that have dated gameplay for instance RE 5 and Killzone 2 did alot of things that had allready been done before. 3- Your judging the gameplay without ever picking the gamepad up and actually playing the game 4- An EXPANSIOn should never be 60 bucks, so while your reasons were pure garbage(congrats), the fact that the game is an expansion is why the game should not be 60 god damn dollars. jg4xchamp

Well, Bungie has stated before that Halo: ODST has evolved from their original "expansion" ideas and has grown into something much more than that. For all intents and purposes, Halo: ODST is more of a full-fledged interquel now.

So you think Halo ODST is outdated because of its graphics? :roll:

Nobody plays Halo for its graphics.

And as for the question, ODST is a full game, not an expansion as many say it is.

More like tell everyone which of those games was actually bad? I know it's hard especially since you haven't played them I'm sure.

[QUOTE="Brownesque"][QUOTE="xbox360isgr8t"] who cares its a perfectly legitmate reason to buy the game if your interested not only in odst and what it offers but what the future halo series will be like in halo reach and its multilplayer.

[QUOTE="Brownesque"] No, but you're making yourself a very easy customer. God, I wish I was Microsoft, reading this post. I'd be rubbing my hands together and scheming as to how to scam you out of more money. "LOL EXCLUSIVE PROMO ACCESS KEY FOR PICTURE SET ON HALO GLADIATORS AND EXCLUSIVE ACCESS BETA CALL FOR HALO CRABPUNCHER GAME SET WITH PURCHASE PRICE OF HALO RUGBY WARS!" I can just imagine you counting your dollars and cents. First, Halo Wars Collectors edition had some "exclusive" map packs, and Crackdown had an "exclusive" Halo 3 beta access and now Halo 3 ODST includes a beta access key to Halo: Reach. Tell me, which of these did you NOT buy?Brownesque

[QUOTE="subrosian"]Halo ODST, outdated? It's not even *out*.Brownesque

TC rated Resistance 2 a 10/10, which is about on par with Halo 3 visually. If this weren't an Xbox 360 exclusive and/or Halo, then this thread wouldn't exist.
