| StanGable said: Can you tell me any franchise that has been life-changing after its sequel? I sure can't. The only one that has done a gigantic step foward would be the jump from Super Mario World to Mario 64. Now that was a drastic change for gaming cuz Nintendo created a well balanced 3-D plataformer and showed a true transition from 2D to 3D. Final Fantasy sure hasn't reinvented its formula. Its always a fun storyline with new little touches, same with basically any game. So why should GoW not enjoy a great advertising campaing like Halo did? Trust me, if SquareEnix had had the budget that Microsoft did to advertise Halo SE would've done the same, or any other company for that matter. |
Civilization, Doom series, Half-Life 1 vs 2, FFIX vs X, Zelda OoT vs every game on earth at the time, The Elder Scrolls series always makes a leap between installments, V-Rally series, Guilty Gear series, Gothic 1 vs 2, Might & Magic VI vs V, Age of Empires 2 vs 1, The Settlers series has been renewed a few times as well, Diablo 2 vs 1, Ultima series (allthough it took a turn for the worse), Lands of Lore 2 vs 1 and indeed 3 vs 2, Duke Nuke 'Em, Castlevania, Resident Evil 4 vs 3, Battlefield 2 vs Battlefield 1942, Heroes of Might & Magic V vs IV.
Why can no one acknowledge a point being made by a user who have different tastes than them? This here is the very definition of internet logic. If DMeisterJ doesn't have a point, name one (1), a single game that had more advertising and hype than Halo 3? I've been around gaming since the late 80's and I've never seen anything even remotely close to be perfectly honest.
