I'm confident this game will get AAA. I intend to get it eventually for PS3, but I have little interest in it, beyond just wanting to say I played it. However, Famitsu....LOL!!!!!!!!!!!! They gave FFXII 40...I've heard that game wasn't that great. Also, Famitsu I believe gave Blue Dragon 34 or something like that? So Blue Dragon is in the same league as FFXIII???? I think I will just pretend Famitsu doesn't exist.

Has the difference in power started to show?

Perhaps...

Make 360 seem like last gen?

Definitely not.

Probably, but it's hardly the only game being milked. So I doubt it's worth getting upset over. However, at least the game came with a lot of content. Better than some games that come with barely anything then get milked.

Hardware this gen is crap unfortunately. I'm on my 3rd 360 (2 E74 errors), 2nd PS3 (blu ray laser died), and still on my first wii (it collects dust).

I agree that next year will be incredible!

However, don't get your hopes up on any AAAA games. Regardless of anything else, MGS4 and GTA4 do NOT even come close to deserving them. MGS4 = 9.5 IMO, GTA4 = 8.5 IMO. I really don't think that we'll see any more AAAA games this gen.

IMO Halo is especially one of those games that is being milked. I think it is one thing for a game to be so good that a sequel is very well deserved, and then it is another for generic sci-fi shooters whose prime was over 5 years ago to be made into sequels of every conceivable genre. What's next, Dance Dance Revolution Master Chief Moves? Games like Halo Wars were made just so the guys at Bungie could buy that brand new BMW that the CEO that lives across the street from them bought.

FPS and RTS equals every conceivable genre?

What about Mario lol. Kart Racing, sports, party, fighting (Smash bros), platforming, platforming while made of paper

I do have to admit, DDR with MC would be hilarious lol. Also, I think M$ is the one making the money off of Halo Wars, not Bungie.

IMO, it's not the amount of sequels that makes a series milked but it's when the sequels are terrible games where the dev's just sorta called it in and sell a bad product on good name recognition. That hasn't even come close to happening with Halo.

I can understand where you're coming from. I think that logic is fairly reasonable for the most part. However, by that logic, every one of those games I just mentioned is being milked. A lot of people on SW seem to think that Halo is being milked and that ONLY Halo is being milked.

Just for the record, I think most of the games I put on that list are good games. I'm just trying to make a point. The arguement just seems stupid that Halo is being milked. The only thing about Halo that I think is out of control is the comics and movies and stuff. The BUNGIE games (which is the only thing that should matter here on SW) have been high in quality.

The phrase "Halo is being milked" is being thrown around more and more lately. Now, I suppose that's not entirely inaccurate, but seriously, we're going to talk about Halo being milked??? I've said it before, and I'll say it again, bungie Halos have maintained a level of quality throughout all ofthe games (so far all AAA). There are a lot of other games that are milked far worse. Just to put this in perspective.

Halo 2001-2010 9 years = 6 games

Resistance 2006-2010 4 years =3 games(probably a 4th next year)

Ratchet and Clank 2002-2010 8 years = 8 games (PS2, PS3, PSP)

Jak and Daxter 2001-2010 9 years = 6 games (PS2 and PSP)

Metal Gear Solid 2001-2010 9 years =8 games (NOT INCLUDING RE-RELEASES like Subsistence and Substance etc.)

Call of Duty 2001-20109 years = 10 games (7 main ones, and 3 spinoffs being Big Red One, Finest Hour, and a PSP game) I'm excluding the fact that DS versions and Wii Versions have been made (which I think were a bitdifferent)

Grand Theft Auto 2001-2010 9 years = 8 games (including the 2 expansions as games, also including PSP games)

Mario 2002-2010 8 years = SMS, SMG, SMG2, NSMB DS, NSMB Wii, Mario kart GC, Mario Kart DS, Paper Mario GC, Paper Mario Wii, Sonic and Mario at Olympic games, Mario Party games, Mario 3 on 3 hoops, Mario Golf, Mario Tennis, Mario Soccer game, Mario Baseball, NUMEROUS DS games I'm not counting...bottum line, I'm too lazy to list all of them, as it would take forever.

Even God of War 2005-2010 5 years = 4 games (including psp version but NOT gow collection remakes)

Dead Space 2008-20102 years = 3 games (including wii version)

Assassin's Creed2007-2010 3 years = 5 games (look up DS and PSP versions)
