I see what U did there BRO 


Wii should get together sometime, I bet U would love my Gamepad.

I did not Nintend to make that Pun. However we should get together. Wii U marry me? ^_^

I already Toad U before, I want to form a stronger Link first. You asking doesn't even make any Sensor bar.

Seriously, No Pun Intendo. I am Wii-ly tired and can't think of any more puns. If U don't want to Marry-O me then that's fine. 


It was great talking to Mew, but I've got F-Zero time to keep this up.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

A lot of fans often complain about the successor of a great game. People complained about Halo 2, Halo 3, ODST, and Reach as well.

I recall complaints about Uncharted 3 and Killzone 3 being a step back but I'd argue those were the best games in those series.

Again, you often listen to forum dwellers when they tell you what you want to hear.

#1 Not surprising another thread is being derailed. 

#2 Nice little attack on me there at the end. I find it funny you were on my wall today calling me a troll! 

Well you took that response more personally than I expected.

I'm not derailing anything. I'm giving an example of fans being disappointed by the successor in an IP isn't limited to Halo. So that argument against Halo 4 doesn't hold water.

You said a lot of people didn't like Halo 4 because you read comments. You formed an opinion on Sunset Overdrive based on comments on the internet. Sorry, but that's a weak argument. There are many opinoins on the internet and you only focus on comments you agree with.


I think I might know what he's walking about...

I took it exactly how you expected. You wouldn't have a go at me otherwise. Why would I not take something you meant personally in any other way? 

My backing for Halo losing fan interest for the Halo's after 3 is based on more than just comments. Part of my job deals with the YouTube gaming scene. Halo 3 created massive things on social media for the series in terms of youtubers. After that it's presence pretty much died on YouTube. 

Bungie jumped off a ship that had Reach-ed (excuse the pun) the crest of a wave. It's been downhill for the series ever since. 680k MCC for November was unthinkable for a lot of people. Including many Halo fans.

It's a collection of games most Xbox owners have already played, hardly an example of a downhill slope. You might want to wait until Halo 5 releases and we get sales data on what a NEW game in the franchise does.

Halo is dead confirmed, time for MS to milk that Gears of War now. /s 

In before someone takes this seriously, it's a joke.

Oh I know that but if you look at the MCC sales prediction thread people said things like "anything under 1M sales is crazy talk". And prectictions as high as 1.8M were normal. 

Well here is some crazy talk. It got nowhere near 1M in sales. I think for a series with such high expectations those sales are bad. And now with horribly broken online you can kiss goodbye any chance of good long legs.

NPD is in and MCC has only sold 660k for November in the USA. Big over tracking on here and with the online being a mess the legs on this won't be that great. Maybe Halo is not what it once was. 

VGchartz MCC numbers  - 890k 

NPD MCC numbers - 680k 

Does NPD track digital sales?

Nope and neither do VGchartz.

I know, I was just thinking what the actual number might be.

ehhhhh, I'd guess 150k digital which would be about 23% digital. Vgcartz numbers might actually be close if you include digital in their tracking but that's not what they do.
