Not interested in any of those games, so MS will need to do better to entice me into buying 360.

Halo4, Gears of War 3 and Mass effect 2+huge library of games, not enough to entice you to purchase a X360 WHATTT! clearly youre not a gamer!!

No, I am a gamer, I just don't buy into overhyped games and the PS3 has better counterparts.

I'd take Killzone 2 over any Halo game.

I'd take Uncharted over any Gears of War game.

I'd take anything over any Mass Effect game, I hate RPG's.

 

That was some of the most amazing win I have ever seen.

Sorry, but you coloured the wrong game in that sentence. Killzone 2 lived up to it's hype. Halo 3 did not. Halo 3 was the most hyped game ever and yet was only a good shooter, not the best thing since sliced bread that microsoft told us it would be.

How do you know? What has a game to do to live up to its hype?

Reviews? 94 on metacritic
Playtime? Still no. 1 on Xbox Live
Sales? 10 million units should be enough.

 

Stop this fanboy-stuff. Halo DID live up to its hype. It actually surpassed it.



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

Boring line up.

Will buy all of them. People need to widen their tastes a bit. So many people play just one genre

Hope this is true, because if it is then I'll get my 360 fixed (power brick is dead, $100 to replace, not worth it atm.), but yeah looking forward to these anouncements at E3. Sony been on fire this year so ms better get some flameproof exclusive going into next year because I don't see Sony slowing down especially if we get a price cut.

No, its totally opinionated as to whether a game lives up to its hype. I see Halo 3 the same as I see GTA4; both failed to live up to their hype.

Yes, both games sold a shitload, got fantastic and somewhat biased reviews.....but they both failed compared to their previous installments and left alot of fans quite dissapointed

If on fire means a small niche market of hardcore gamers, then yes. If on fire means setting the market alight and doing great things overall then no. They are slowing down since sales are down year over year in general.



Tease.

WOW at the tactless irrational PS3 fanboys in this thread. It just boggles my mind.

On Topic: I am a big 360 supporter; however, I am not interested in anything to do with Halo or Gears of War, but I am very much interested in Mass Effect 2. And when the hell are we going to get Knights of The Old Republic 3?!



I'm not a fanboy, I just try to tip the balance in favor of logic and common sense.

So how would you measure a game then? By how loudly fans proclaim a games brilliance on the internet? We know that  you can't force people to play a game for over 150 hours on average and you can't just make the game number 1 on Xbox Live consistantly. Furthermore Sonys efforts to make visually pleasing games have been totally wasted because the highest selling games have not been the most visually pleasing. If Killzone 2 got a 91 average with the 'best visuals' this generation then its gameplay would have to be deficient compared to a game which got 91 average without as good visuals with all else being equal.

You can't really measure a game, more just play it yourself and see what you think of it. The way I persoanlly measure whether or not a game lives up to its name is by seeing how it compares to its previous installments. Now I know KZ2 had a undescribable amount of hype, but it was leaps and bounds better than KZ1. Halo 3 and GTA4 to me and many did not beat their previous installments.

Wow that would be a big year. Gears and Halo 4 alone would do 16 million or so sales. I really don't like Halo but I would love to hear about a new Gears.
