It's obviously not some hatred of it not being on our console since both Halo and Halo 2 are available on PC. It's because they are simply years behind PC FPS games.

We STILL have a better online system through Steam for absolutely free along with a better digital distribution system than Xbox Live has. In fact, Microsoft is now trying to encroach on us with their bullshit Windows Live crap that no one is buying because it's absolutely ridiculous to expect PC users to pay $50 a year for far less features than we get with Steam for free. Halo is a great CONSOLE FPS series, but it simply doesn't offer anything for PC gamers that we can't get better elsewhere. I think Halo 3 is a great shooter... for the 360. Just like I think Metroid Prime Hunters is a great shooter for the Nintendo DS. It's great for the platform it's on, but it's just not comparable to games on the PC. |
psst. The UT04 Halo Mod = better then Halo PC =P
It actually makes sense that the Xbox has more uses than the Xbox 360 as it still has a larger user base. Same with the PS2. People assume people stopped playing them because its not selling any more new units but they still use the one they already have. You have to think about the installed base. The current generation is still relatively young and hasnt even scratched the surface of mass market installed bases.

Top 10 PC Game Titles in the U.S.
Apr-Nov 2007
2. The Sims
7. The Sims 2
Lol so wrong.
The Sims sells practically nothing now, and I don't believe that Halo is that high.
The list is WRONG.
Edit:
Wait, is this a most played list? If so, how the heck can they possibly know that people play the PS2 more then the GameCube? Seriously? I'm really wondering how. Do they have cameras in our houses?
How do they know people play The Sims over The Sims 2?
I don't believe ANY of this.
Top 3 favorite games: Super Mario Galaxy, The Sims 2 (PC), The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
No, NintendoTogepi, I believe it. There's lots of casual PC gamers that just play Sims or Halo.
And they do samplings of households to see what TV shows are watched, and now what consoles are played. One of my friends participated...they put a box on the TV to track what was watched for like a week or whatever.
LEFT4DEAD411.COM
Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release. (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

Actually I havent wondered that. Most of the games mentioned above for fantastic PC games have appeared in one form or another on the Xbox platform also. Ive played most of them and dont feel they are uber superior either. Half Life and Half Life 2 to me was a bore fest as I just wanted to kick ass and felt restricted. But yes, the in game story telling was great. Review scores have nothing to do with how much a game is actually liked. Look at the great sales for games that failed critically but are commercial hits like Carnival games and Mario Party 8 and Im sure the people playing them love it.Your observing everything from a hardcore pc gamers perspective. Not everyone looks at things in that tunnel vision. Halo and Halo 2 are for the most part casual pc games that anyone can pick up and play and have fun with without ever having played a fps game in their life. What a fanatic UT player thinks is great does not sway my opinion on how I view games or the majority of casual gamers. Its hard to convince someone having fun that in reality, their not really having fun because you believe somthing is so so so so much better. Halo games are fun and thats all it was ever meant to be. If it wasnt, it wouldnt keep selling great with each iteration many of which were repeat buyers. If you thought Quake was the epitimamy of all games and a standard to which games should be measured, thats your opionion and Im not here to convince you that you really didnt like it.
