What a sad thread. The halo wars content is reaching, but it's fine if that's your opinion, but the dig at kill zone 2 is so fucking sad. Consider yourself reported for stealth trolling, and I hope you get the help you desperately need if you don't think that the halo name had nothing to do with the sales.

Killzone 2?  What are you talking about?

Have you played Halo Wars in it's entirety DMJ?  Because I have.  And it is a genuinly good, and original game.  It was not very hyped, and has sold well based on good reviews.  Did the Halo name hurt? No.  But its ridiculous to claim this isn't a great, strong-selling game because it has a good name.

 

You are smart, I give you that, but you intentially created this thread to bash Killzone and you did it quite amazingly, the best trolling i have seen in while.

This showdown supposedly had an RTS that was said large numbers would confuse with a FPS, with someone that has had the word "Halo Killer" thrown around during discussing it. If not the words "Halo Killer" about every other description of it, short of it getting its own Mountain Dew or Slurpee from 7-Eleven.

Kinda sad thinking about it. Next up, will Halo Fury (or is it Halo Kombat) the fighting version of Halo, beat Final Fantasy XIII?

funny thread... some people were expecting it to outsell kz2. ... so how is that beating expectations...

Killzone 2 = Biggest hardcore genre on consoles, massive budget, massive hype.

Halo Wars = Tiny console genre, largest selling title in just it's first week, little hype, reasonable budget.

 

Sorry, I should have clarified that I meant reasonable expectations.

Starcraft to call this game a RTS is a joke to the genre. It takes no strategy to press "all units" followed by "attack" with the occasional grenade command. It got the R and T right, of course knowing it catered to the Halo crowd, strategy and thinking isn't something to consider knowing it would give the fanbase a headache.

Halo Wars chaged nothing to the genre but what controller you played with.

Starcraft if you represent 360 owners, i'll trade mine in.

Starcraft you're not dumb. The sentence psrock bolder was about kz2. You're a known troll, and that's what that was. You're not stupid.

I'm sure halo wars is a good game, but to believe that the halo name has nothing to do with sales is silly.

What on earth are you talking about?  Are you saying Killzone 2 is generic and genre-following?

There was no trolling in that thread.  Not from me.

It was a Killzone 2 profitability discussion in a Killzone 2 thread.  People in this thread have just randomly started talking about Kilzone 2.

i think the halo helped. But to all the naysayers it is a very good RTS. Im having a blast on it. Great job Ensemble. I hope this one has legs and continues to sell



Long Live SHIO!

ha i'm predicting there are a shit ton of poeple that are pissed off and are returning the game.

i saw a commercial on TV for halo wars and if I didn't research online about it I would have thought it was just another FPS, and the back of the box ain't helping at all either.

this was a total false advertising done for the game.
