Unofficial Halo Wars Hype Thread.

It's Halo. There is no way that it will score lower than AAA. No. Way.

Anyone who says otherwise is lowballing it so they can say "oooo it exceeded hype!".

It will be overrated just like all the other Halo games.

If "Halo Toilet" came out and was a port-o-potty simulator it would score AAA.

I should add that I want to be clear about something. It's not fair for a console to be judged by a console's standards. It's simply not. There is no way possible Halo Wars could be better than a game like Total War. It's not humanly possible. However, since people will judge it by console standards I guarantee you it gets rated higher by almost all sites EXCEPT PC sites and then all the lemmings will say "OMG Halo Wars it he best RTS ever!". Mark my words, when it's all said and done according to Gamerankings Halo Wars will be the highest ranking RTS ever. Now can ANYONE on this board, even the most die-hard, xbot drooling lemming, tell me that it truly IS the greatest RTS of all time? Anyone?Xalaten

lmao

from now on, lets judge psp fps games differently because they lack dual analog sticks.

lol

[QUOTE="Keep-the-Faith"]no.....its this kind of thinking that has to die. Its like comparing Goldeneye to popular fps at the time. Its wrong. You have to judge a game based on the platform its released on. You cant dock points off of Haol wars due to things ***BEYOND ITS CONTROL***. End of story. Again......comparing Halo Wars to PC rts standards is UNFAIR because Halo Wars is being compared to a standard IT CANT LIVE UP TO due to being on a console. Thats why being judged on tis own merits is smart and proper thinking.Vandalvideo

The Wii is the runaway sales leader and darling of the vg industry.

It has motion sensing.

Motion sensing is therefore the new modern standard.

Ergo, all games without it are phail.

Or, the PC has the highest game resolutions. It is therefore the modern standard by which all games on all platforms should be measured for graphics.

Ergo, the Wii is phail, and so is the PS3 and 360.

DS and PSP games don't have the same _______(fill in blank) as console games/PC games.

Ergo, all DS and PSP games are phail.

The modern standard for speed/acceleration is a Bugatti Veyron, McLaren F1 or similar $1M+ exotic.

Ergo, all other vehicles are phail.

Or maybe your logic is phail.

[QUOTE="Vandalvideo"] You say its unfair, I say its only proper. You can't hide behind a console and use it to pretend that it is somehow an AAA worthy RTS game. You have to measure it up with the other modern conventions as a whole, and it definitely ain't up to AAA snuff.stiltzsy

therefore I win!!!!! (since i debated with him)

halo Wars should be judged on its own merits and should not be held up to PC standards as they are standards it naturally cant match.

Though I think KZ2 will AAA but Wow, that would be the biggest sorta floppage/ownage ever on SW - entertainment to the MAX !

SecretPolice

Yeah I think Killzone 2 will get AAA, from playing the demo. But this is Gamespot so anything is possible. But if Halo Wars out scores Killzone 2, I think we should head toward a Vault, because the fallout of that could be the worst fallout in SystemWars history.

However, Consoles CAN directly be compared to pcs because, aside from graphics and controls, there really isn't a large difference. Xalaten

Ain't up to the AAA snuff, c'mon man, I know you are in NO WAY meaning that and being proof positive based on a demo ? Also, my understanding isthe reviewers score will take into consideration what is already available on the system and not on other systems, in this case the PC. If Wii games would be measured against PC games and held to the same standards, me thinks it would lack even one AAA so, just sayin. :PSecretPolice

Just played it, and it's pretty good. The controls work well and the graphics are great.

Only problem is with the super annoying hard-to-read-on-SDTV text :twisted:
