Forums - Website Topics - A legitimate question: Why a thread was locked

"Becuase it was a bullshit premise that makes no sense. The KZ2 trailer doesn't show any gameplay footage either, and leaves you with no idea what kind of game it will be. This is true of damn near every game in existence. You don't have a point."

The problem with that is that Halo is a long running FPS.... and yes if you really looked into it you can find out that HaloWars is a RTS.....yes you can return it if you get it and its not what you were expecting.... but why put you customers through that? that is where the question of morality comes in...This game is NOTHING like its "predasessors" and the question here is not that people are too stupid to find out about what they are buying... its that the trailer looks like a FPS... not an RTS.... and there is no reason for that....

The first time i saw a trailer for Little Big Planet i dint know what to think it was going to be... But LBP was not a name for a FPS in the past... so weather MS is trying to sell a couple of extra copies of something based on its name... or im looking into this too much... but i still see no trolling by the OP.... and i do not agree with the trailer....

Maybe because it had all been done before?

 

 

          THIS ^^

          I had already comented on this topic in the prior posted thread from several days ago, so I asumed the lock was because of the rehash.

Might MS be guilty of false advertising with Halo Wars (Moraly)

While i dont quite agree with the OP i do think that this thread had a valid point...

It was a legitimate discution point...

Eventhough the poster might have been a sony fan.. i still believe it was a valid post and i did not see any trolling....

Maybe because it had all been done before?

 

ALLLLRIIIGHT!!! i dint know that  *bows down*  :D     i just wich i would have known that sooner    >_>

 



I would like to thank all the gratious mod's that participated in this thread and helped me understand this situation :P



I wasn't the one that locked it but I was on the verge of locking it. It was pretty obvious the thread was made for one purpose: to make MS look like shit.

The only reason I didn't lock it while I was participating in it because it hadn't devolved into a giant MS bash fest yet.

 If by look into it you mean flip the box over then I agree. the only ones affected by this are people who buy purely on brand name without a single though to anything else. In a world where Mario, Sonic, Crash, ad a billion other easily recognizable game names have been used for racing, platforming, fighting, and a million other game ideas it is meaningless. Nothing resembling a significant percentage of people will buy this game without knowing what it is. Less than 1%. There is no point.

It might be a shock to you but not everyone post's with malicous intentions in mind , it was a genuine discussion point that arised when I was talking with my friends in college. The very fact that you frequently inteprit things is anti-ms / anti xbox 360 shows the kind of poster you are , combine that with you "i hate psn" ," I hate home" threads and what do you have ?

Funnily enough I remember being banned once because I implied you were an XBOX 360 fanboy , I nor anyone else realised it was against the forum rules until then.

Making MS look like shit isn't worthwhile,  it's a company  , an inanimate legal entity , bought and sold on the stock market believe or not but that has no interest to me I use alot of MS products. I brought the topic up because the Halo name is the biggest fps brand , deception of MS's part was terribly easily but moraly wrong and I thought it should be adressed .



The guy doesn't know much about the law, but that's no reason to lock his thread. I believe he asked a valid question, gave supporting reasons as to why the answer could be yes, and didn't insult anyone or any game/system (in the OP at least)
