Halo 3.. worry about it?

[LogicDonny]

Halo and halo 2 were great on the xbox.

my question is are you too worried about halo 3 on the 360? WOnder if the graphics will be up to next-gen style or will they finally end the trilogy or do a 4th one? I hope not. I am worried abotu the next-gen because people expect this. gears of wars did it right.

That post was pointless. Halo 3 will be great just like the first 2. Why would you be worried? What has Bungie done to suggest it wouldn't? Absolutely nothing...

Agreed. Nothing else to add.

[ThirdMarioBro]

It will be fine. Don't worry about it.

[LogicDonny]

Well I was just telling if the hype that got to halo 2 and made alot of gamers disapointed with the single player campign which wasn't too bad, I was worried if the 3rd and final chapter supposely might have some long and satsifying campign or some short one.

[Peanut]

Only problem with Halo 2's single player? The ending. You know why? Because people wanted more. As long as Halo 3 delivers more Halo, then it will do just fine.

[Duke]

Exactly...people always complained about the ending of Halo 2, not the gameplay or story itself. When a game successfully makes you want more (and makes you willing to pay more to get it) then that is what a company calls a winner.

[LogicDonny]

so you all love the story of halo 2 yet the ending left a cliffhanger.

[Peanut]

I do indeed love the story of Halo. So much, in fact, that I have read all the books. Was I kinda upset about the game ending so abruptly? Yeah, a little. Not as much as other people though.

Just one question. Are you trying to make a point, or...what?

[Dinny]

Just one question. Are you trying to make a point, or...what?

Yeah, I was wondering the same thing. He's building it up as though there's some sort of deep psychological meaning behind enjoying the Halo series... I am intrigued.

[LogicDonny]

Well you know how sequals are.. SOmetimes the 3rd part isn't as good as the first 2.. Remember how rocky 5 was not as good and rocky 6 is supposed to be better than the 5th one?

[Brodie]

SOme sequels suck but i think if they have a **** ton riding on them they usually dont. RE4? Didnt suck. Halo 3? wont suck. Halo 2 sisnt suck either.

But X3 sucked.
So dont hold me to that.

There's a difference between movies and games. A huge difference, so don't use that comparison, because it's awful. Bungie is too good, and too smart to mess up the biggest game in history.

In what sense do you mean the "biggest" game?

[Peanut]

I mean the biggest game in the series of the fastest selling video game franchise of all time. But I also mean that this is Microsoft's big chance game. Sony is crippled, if Halo 3 explodes and becomes ever bigger than Halo 2, Sony can kiss this generation good-bye.

You must have forgotten Gears of war was 2006 big xbox 360 game and it did really well. I plan to get this game when I get a 360.

I saw this 7 minute video on the brutes that was released recently. It was cool to hear that they are planning to make the brutes more tougher. They also mention how late the brutes came into play and all that. Since I bet many of you saw this video, I don't need to discuss much about this video.

You know, I am playing through halo 2 again and I feel that earth didn't have a huge campaign considering the whole hype was about war on earth..

There was more but the story is great.. The battle on earth was good. I know ti get better.

[Peanut]

No, I'm not forgetting about Gears of War. Halo is way bigger. Does no one recall the fact that Halo 2 was the fast grossing entertainment anything of all time? It pulled in $135 million on day one alone. For a game to sell 8 million copies on a console that maxed out at 24 million units an entire two years following the release of the game...well that's insanity.

i remember the hype of the game.. So big and so massive.. so many people had mixed feelings of the game...

Wait till the 3rd one comes out......... whoo boy!

And that supposely legendary edition.. that is one awesome fanboy package.. those fanboys will do anything for it.

Game sequels suck for following reasons

They change it to much
Don't change it enough
Rush it

Devil May Cry 2 was a terrible game, because they rushed it out in a year after the first one. They learned their lesson went back in and made 3 a great game.

Games like RE 4 they spend so much time on it that if it sucks then you might as well close your company down and never make another game again. Games like Gears Of War have tons and tons of hype around them and if they don't meet the hype and then we think they suck. Gears was okay in my opinion, it didn't meet hype to me but I expected it to fail to impress me at all with how hyped it was so due to that I ended up liking it a little bit.

I don't know how long they've been working on this Halo game but it's been awhile since 2 came out so I assume awhile, and with that said I'm sure the next game will impress the fans and maybe draw in a few new fans as well.

I myself never liked Halo but I will try the demo and if I like it I'll get it. I've been a lot more open to FPS now so I'd love to give them a try.

Yes. Yes I will do anything for it. I'll even pay the insane $100+ price tag for it. Without even giving any thought to it.

hmm you mention some good points.. Well at least you will try the demo though. Halo 1 and 2 are cheap.. I recommend playing through teh story once.. its really good.
