You troll way too much. Surprised you aren't banned yet.
I don't know how much more brainless someone could get when they are comparing Halo with Killzone 2, honest to god.
Does this really deserve a thread? Plus, Halo 3: ODST had that much sales, does it necessarily make it a good game? Did you stop to think the millions of dollars MS put into advertising the god damn game? C'mon dude, use your head.
Halo can get all the sales it wants, Killzone 2 has proven to me the better game. Plus, think of ODST like an expansion pack.

Ironic coming from you.

Why even put these games against each other like this? I swear, people TRULY forgot what gaming is all about .Both games are fun. Both games sold well, although Halo will always sell better than Killzone (even though it's still irrelevant).

And before you pull the "we're on a sales site" card, I'm aware of that, and like that this site tracks sales. I just don't see this as useful, in fact, I see it as abusing the site's purpose in the first place. This thread was not made with good intentions.

Why not?...They are both FPS games...

Point? Ok, so were Turning Point Fall f Liberty and Halo 3. Lemme guess, they're comparable too huh?

so you are saying Halo 3 = killzone 2

and Halo 3: ODST = fall of liberty?

 

 

That doesn't make any sense. You are basically saying ODST sucks, and Halo 3 is equal to killzone 2 even though ODST and killzone 2 cannot be compared.

 

* facepalm *

Errr.....what I'm saying is, just because two games are of the same genre doesn't make them comparable in sales.

If you observed my posts in other threads about Halo 3: ODST, you'd know that your assumption is bull crap.

Take it easy mon frere. It was not an assumption, but an observation.

Still, all of what you are saying does not make sense.. You only say THEY ARE NOT COMPARABLE (like at all) No mention of sales... Sure, you say vgchatz is a sales site, which is true. And you had better know it too, ha. But still, you are just saying they are not comparable. But even then, it is false. Fall of liberty was a bomb.. Killzone 2 sold over a million... Major firsty party title.. Online component touted.. Etc.. So I would say it IS comparable to halo is some ways.

 

 

But maybe you were just being vague on accident.

Tell me, how is Killozne 2 (salewise) comparabble to Halo 3: ODST? One is a proven franchise, the other wasn't until this year, and STILL doesn't have the brand name Halo has. One is known for HUGE openings with large lifetime sales, again the other is not and will not have anywhere near Halo's sales. One has a HUGE online community, the biggest for it's said console, the other does not. Now, you tell me, how are they comparable again?

Other people got what I was saying, look at their posts as well...

I said they are comparable in some ways:

MASSIVE FANBOY SUPERHYPE: both

Good marketing: Both

First party exclsuives: Both

Both sold over a million

Both were sequels.

You see, it goes both ways. So they are comparable in sales, since they have similarities IMO. Although I really don't know want I want you to say more,  that killzone 2 bombed, or that halo 3 is just too far out of it's league *snicker*

 

But I will reiterate this again... YOU DID NOT MENTION SALES, YOU SAID THEY WERE NOT COMPARABLE AT ALL.

You know what's funny, other people even explained this to you, yet you ignored their posts. For someone to think that Halo and Killzone are on a comparable front saleswise, they don't understand how things work. Halo had FAR more marketing, internet and real world, is the MOST PLAYED game on the Xbox, and has a brand name that is untouched by any FPS not named Call of Duty. Whatelse do you need to be told, I'm arguing in circles with you. Brand name plays a major role, as does marketing which are both HEAVILY in halo's favor. I don't care what kind of internet hype Killzone 2 had, it was never destined to sell like Halo, PERIOD.

Also, since the thread is specifically talking about sales of these two games, I would have thought you'd know that's what I was talking about. So be it, I apologize for the confusion, but for that only. Everything else here, I stick to.

There's really nothing left to say......

So you are saying Halo is superior?

He and the guy who created this thread just wants to hear this: "Halo 3/ODST is superior then Killzone 2"

lol. Well if thats what makes them happy then it can be said.

I am just wondering why they so mad at Killzone 2 for? After all it sold far less and doesn't even compare to the greatness of Halo.

BTW strategyking and black, I been playing killzone2 MP every day since Feb, and so have been a lot of our vgc clan mates. If you ever decide to play our inferior game then just join our VGC chat room on PSN.

It's just that simple.

psrock on 23 September 2009

I am very surprised this thread is left open because its clearly intended to flame. But, I get it though, KillZone 2 is so good, so hyped and so damn beautiful, it's impossible not to bring it up by people who've never played it when they play other games. I can't tell you how many times Killzone 2 is brought in this site.

What's so funny is people bring how hype the game is, but what people forget half of these threads were made to bash it. There is such a hate for the game and I love it.
