Whats the hype all about for ODST?

Firstly, i own all 3 consoles, so no fanboy here as my 360 probably gets the most play time. I just don't get why people are so excited about them being ripped off for what is, at its core a $60 DLC :?.

Whats so special about it?

I'm a hardcore lemming that is a huge fan of Halo and Bungie. That said I am very disappointed so far, hopefully they make me eat my words but I highly doubt it.

halo is in the titleJandurin

Sadly, its the truth.

You can be a fanboy and still own all of the consoles.

ODST looks like a solid shooter in the Halo Universe with a very unique twist on the single player. I'm not thinking AAA but its going to be good.

there is nothing wrong with the hype lemmings are just trying to push their product like cows push uncharted

as long as u dont play or buy the game then it should have no effect on you

i will admit i fell for the hype when halo 3 came out bought it and hated it i was never a fan of the story and only bought the game for its multiplayer but i just didnt like it like i did halo 2 online

but i will not fall for the halo hype again lol

At least it's a new campaign with a new protaganist. But I see your point. I don't understand why everyone is hyped about having to buy the first two GoW games again, instead of demanding BC for their PS3's.cainetao11

I don't get it either. I don't even own a PS3 and I love my 360. The world really doesn't need another Halo game. I wish they would just let the Master Chief die.

NOTE: I am aware that ODST doesn't involve the Master Chief, but they still need to put the franchise down for a few more years.

I'm not saying it doesn't look ok, my main point is the fact that for a tiny campaign and a handful of new maps, your paying $60. Which is pathetic. Take Lost And Damned, good length campaign, new additions to the single player and more multiplayer modes, all for $20 (1600 MS Points).

provides more gameplay than a couple of 60$ games i know (Heavenly Sword anyone?).

I dont see it getting many hype. Personally im hyping it AA. Still i know it will be an awesome game ;)

[QUOTE="Rza_rectah"][QUOTE="Shafftehr"] That's a good point. When Cows are actually hyping buying and then playing the same bloody games again which are only from last gen, why would Cows begrudge Lemmings the marginal interest that Halo: ODST is getting?Shafftehr

the reason for the hype for halo odst is the same reason there was hype for halo wars, it has halo in the name, heck if they made a halo kitty island aventure game it would probably sell a million, with that being said i was watching a guy play halo odst last night and it look incredibly polished

[QUOTE="cainetao11"][QUOTE="kobraka1"]

there is nothing special about it. any other franchise and it would be a discounted price. but microsoft knows that halo fanboys are idiots and will spend full price for half a game.

wanna know how important halo is? halo ce didnt become a platnium hits til halo 2 came out. it didny drop in price til then either. crimson skies, mech assault, and brute force were greatest hits before halo. these games were like 2 holidays into the xbox lifecycle. thats pathetic.

I dont like halo so for me yes problem?

[QUOTE="Shafftehr"][QUOTE="Rza_rectah"] because ODST is over priced DLC. At least with GoW you get HD and Trophies. You get way more in the ELC for GTA that just shows you whose milking who.Rza_rectah

Probably because it is going to be great... It is overpriced for what it is, but it still will have a lot of great things included in it.LTomlinson21

well if it has halo on the name it has to be good and thats a FACT

[QUOTE="Rza_rectah"][QUOTE="Jandurin"] I can't believe that game is still 60 dollarsh575309

[QUOTE="h575309"][QUOTE="Rza_rectah"] that is crazy indeed.Jandurin

I don't know what all the hype's about. I fell in with the halo 3 hype because of the commercials and the halo backstory, and Surprise! The singleplayer was lackluster and short. And the Co-op that I was excited for was stupid because you could only play it with somebody on your friends list. My god, that made me mad. Halo:odst is going to be the same thing.

ODST hypes? i saw more hates on here than hypes. It's from bungie, i like it. im hyping it AA. There's a hype thread I made a few days ago, go back and check if you wanna know why.

he was talking about heavenly sword but halo is overpriced too.Rza_rectah

I'd gladly pay $40 odd or however much its going to be for the GOW re-release then ODST.
Ok, i agree on a new campaign, but dude, it's the exact same multiplayer as Halo, with a like 3 new maps..

[QUOTE="Rza_rectah"]he was talking about heavenly sword but halo is overpriced too.Jandurin

Lucky i got it for $5 then :).

[QUOTE="Rza_rectah"]he was talking about heavenly sword but halo is overpriced too.Jandurin

The first open world Halo game is all I can think of.
