MGS4 is the emotional game ever created.

 

That was before Epic saw that MGS4 and it's "passive emotional entertainment" sold 3 mil copies in 2 weeks.

 

And Gears of war is still at 4.7 million shipped. Another month and MGS4 will ship 5 million copies.

emotion takes time. minor spoiler: You don't just kill off a sidekick (which happens in Gears, if I recall...) and except it to have an emotional impact. But whatever, I'll stop judging the game based on the first one...

Is Cliff really trying to make GoW2's story have a emotion impact on gamers?

True.Thier has to be some type of emotional attachment to the characters,inorder for the jest to be

to be ginuely accepted.That takes time to build and Gears of War doesn't have any characters like that.

You boys need to check your figures.... metal gear at 3m? sell another million in the next week? gears at 4.7m... all wrong!

3 million sold to retailers, not to consumers

well lets compare apples and apples shall we.. 3 million to retailers is irrelevant until they are sold to customers. i think total sales of the two will be quite close... Gears 2 on the other hand will sell many more than both.

 

why would GoW2 sell better than GoW1?  Is is because it is more "emotionally effecting"?

Can't believe you are all ignorant to how emotional Gears of War actually is:

 I think the retailers need to buy them before the consumers can. 



Thanks for the input, Jeff.

That was not emotionally effecting.  When we mean emotionally effecting, we mean that we are able to sympathize with the characters

MGS4 is the emotional game ever created.

That's like saying Transformers is the best Michael Bay movie ever created.

OT: Was I supposed to be emotionally stirred by BioShock? Personally, the last 1/3 of the game just pissed me off.
