OMG Massive Cow Ownage!

I own a PS3 and I still find it seriously funny that the release of Halo 3 is 10X bigger event then the launching of the PS3 itself. Plus add the fact that the 360 has some hardware issues and is still outselling the PS3 2 to 1. Even with the release of some decent games and a price cut the PS3 is still failing to meet expectations. I just find it funny, although I hope it does not continue because I do want some good games for my PS3.

Sorry about the topic title but a manticore has to do what he has to do.

So what if the Halo launch is huge? It doesn't mean that Halo is a good series, does it? No, because Halo is an average, very overrated series. I could understand if one review gave it a bloated score, but how can people be so deluded into thinking this is any better than games like Timesplitters 2, and Unreal Tournament? It isn't, it's just a slow paced shooter with too big a focus on multiplayer.ShmenonPie

Agreed. Halo is getting old and is very over-rated.

when you posted that and read every site gave it a bloated score. Did you ever stop and think "Gee maybe I'm wrong not the millions of people who love the game"

or did you gjust skip the logic secion of your brain and hit post reply.

It outsells Ps3 2-1. It has been out for twice as long. What does this tell you? they are fairly tied, but X360 will end with same amount lead if everything continues.

Anyway, use sales to claim ownage, but then you rly have to include wii

Over-rated? I hate it when people say something's over-rated because they don't like it. If it was over-rated, I don't think people wouldSTILL be playing Halo 2 on XBL, nor would Halo 3's pre-orders be 1,500,000+. Oh, and Timesplitters better than Halo? :lol:

Just say you don't like the game instead of saying it's over-rated, because clearly out of 'hardcore' gamers you are in the minority. You probably think R:FoM was better than Halo 2....

Besides, no one was complaining when the PS2 slaughtered the GC and XBOX, and that released in 2000 and the others in 2001. Complaining when it's convenient......

Uh. You hsould be telling this the the Hermits as its become more popular than any of their games which they say their FPS games are WAY better.

I agree with your disagreement. Comparing TimeSplitters 2 with Halo is laughable.

I own a PS3 and I still find it seriously funny that the release of Halo 3 is 10X bigger event then the launching of the PS3 itself. Plus add the fact that the 360 has some hardware issues and is still outselling the PS3 2 to 1.

I just find it funny, although I hope it does not continue because I do want some good games for my PS3.

itsallgood29

it is also bigger then the xbox 360 .. HAHAHAHAHA

Well one of the reasons why the Halo 3 launch is so "HUGE". Is because MS got the cash to advertise it like hell (and they are doing a great job). Excellent TV spots etc.

Of course it feels like "wow no other game has this affect upon launch". Beside HALO 3 is the flagship game of the Xbox. It demands this type of attention.

No, I am merely pointing out that regardless of his opinion of the Halo series, it still scored a 9.7 and a 9.4... which is all that really matters in SW.

And I do not think that any of the Timesplitters are superior to Halo:CE. :|

I agree with your disagreement. Comparing TimeSplitters 2 with Halo is laughable.

SIngleplayer: This is not contest. Even though Halo 2 has what many consider to be a disappointing campaign, TS2 has a virtually non-existent cohesive storyline. It is not fleshed out at all. Free Radical improved the campaign drastically with Future Perfect, but that is another story.

Multiplayer: Some might like the arcady feel of TS2 more, but there is no question when it comes to technical aspects that Halo 2 is superior. The multiplayer in TS2 is an absolute blast, but there is no balance whatsoever.

Nice try at damage control, but Halo is far from mediocre..people who say that are either jealous or just plain stupid!

It's not new, or innovative, or unusual or anything like that. Everything in Halo has been done many times before. What makes Halo so special isn't that they do it well... they do it VERY well. There are two types of great games. Games like Super Mario Bros., or Metroid Prime that do something new, that wows people. Then there is the other type. Games like Residant Evil, Banjo and Kazooie, and Halo, which don't really do anything new, but they take a tried and true formula, and the make an excellent job of it. That's what makes Halo so special.

What's wrong with perfecting a tried and true formula? Theres a reason that its tried and true, people love it. Its that mentality that got Blue Dragon a 6 on this website, so what if a game doesn't do anything new? Blue Dragon is hands down the best JRPG I've played since Final Fantasy 7, and if the sequel fixes the quirks and ups the difficulty/story a little bit (maybe make it a bit darker game) then it will overtake 7 as THE best RPG I've ever played. People are too interested in new and unproven...look what happened when Nintendo tried to give the people what they think they wanted, we got the god-forsaken Wii.

:lol: says the Killzone fan.

I don't understand how 90+ reviews is overrating. Maybe 3-5, but 90?

Come on, stop being such a fanboy and admit its good.

first off its a 50 buck game, secoundly, this hype for the game is more than the 360, 3rdly nio one is going to get shot for halo, 4th, there is no reason for anyone to be standing outside for a copy of halo when you can easily just wake up the next morning and get the game. people are not hypeing halo, i mea we have all seen the screens, its ms and there lame cammercial crap thats hyping it like some kind of big histricle event.

even ms fanboys 1up.com loled at the fact ms thinks halo is so big, when its not. all it is is a shooting game. no one not even hardcore lemmings are hyping the game its just ms, flooding and paying the market, to put up ads about halo3 thats all.

the game will be medicore art best

I do not like Halo. That having been said, you still sound like a twonk. It's easy to speak poorly of a storyline by dealing in vague generalizations. I'm relatively sure your favorite games could be attack in the same fashion, and it would be equally baseless.

What you're saying is wrong. The halo series has set a new standard for the action genre. Halo was the first game tjat made vehicles a big deal of gameplay where it felt natural to use a vehicle to transport from one location to another. Almost every big online shooter has had vehicles since then. Halo 2 was the first game with a regenerating health system. You no longer had to seek for the "health boxes" all of us were so familiar with. Halo has always had awesome graphics, good story and fun multiplayer. Oh, did you say it wasnt innovative?

im not a halo fan and never played a halo game cuz i dont like FPS, but i dont say its not a good game. to be honest all those people cant be wrong about this game. maybe it really has something over other FPS games.

the fact that so many people still play halo 2 proves that its not really over-rated.

Many games, such as Command & Conquer: Renagade, and 007 Nightfire used vehicles quite readily. Also, games like Call of Duty, and many action adventures used steadily regenerating health. The story was good, but generic, and the graphics were nothing impressive. Nonetheless, all the great things you listed are just things that have been done before, done better.
