Also as far as the gears bundle goes I wonder if they will do another BS money grab PR stunt like they did when they held the life of one of the characters hostage and made people buy T-shirts to decide. Either way both Halo and gears in my honest opinion are entirely over rated and frankly over-hashed so I don't see either doing what many people wish they would. Especially since most of the people that made the originals likely won't have any part of it. If MS wants to turn the tide they need new ideas and new IPs. So I think the most success they will have will come from games like Sunset overdrive and Quantum break and other original IPs. They continue that and get even more I think they will turn it around. All these rehashes tho honestly just make me groan because its old and played out and not in a good way like many Nintendo franchises that seem timeless. |
You may find them overated but Microsoft fans obviously like them. Making a collection probably takes minimal time and effort for fairly large profit and fills a lineup gap. Theyre not taking time away from the other games, which are coming.
