Halo: Reach pimped as "The Biggest Game of Next Year"

Posted by Mop (230 lbs) (aka rburriel) Dec 7 '09, 13:08

To be honest, of all the games mentioned in the article, only Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3 have any chance of reaching the critical mass of Halo, and even those games don't have the media appeal of Halo.

clearly this guy is in the know to have left out Gran Turismo and FF13 altogether -- nm - stewie Dec 7, 13:55
Wow, bigger than Mass Effect 2?!!? Well duh. -- nm - Shaun Dec 7, 13:20 5
- You never know. Mass Effect 2 may have gay sex in it or something. -- nm - Mop (230 lbs) Dec 7, 13:27 4
  - another reason for Qale to get an Xbox! -- nm - Remlik Dec 7, 13:29 1
    - There's a special unannounced feature to Natal. -- nm - Mop (230 lbs) Dec 7, 13:30

    - Was gay Mandela locked away in prison for over a decade too? -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Dec 7, 13:43
Diablo 3 isn't going to drop in 2010 -- nm - oblique Dec 7, 13:16 6
- It must be depressing for Blizzard to realize how thoroughly my Diablo itch is getting scratched right now. - TFox Dec 7, 13:30 5
  - Well, for sure Torchlight is Diablo-light. But I don't think it can really be compared to what Diablo 3 will offer -- nm - oblique Dec 7, 13:31 4
    - ....we think. maybe. in 2013. (assuming there is still an Earth by then.) -- nm - TFox Dec 7, 13:32 3
      - I really miss the multiplayer when playing Torchlight. There was more you could do with the game when you have to build for a larger party -- nm - oblique Dec 7, 13:34 2
        
        maybe i will eventually. right now, I'm still enjoying the "oh crap, i'm down here alone with a stupid cat" claustrophobia. -- nm - TFox Dec 7, 13:37 1
        
        I am mostly sad I miss games like Baldurs Gate and BG2 - no one makes games like that now...boooooo -- nm - Capstern Dec 7, 13:39
Super Mario Galaxy has outsold Halo 3. I'll be surprised if SMG2 doesn't outsell the first one. -- (link) - JaxSean Dec 7, 13:14 1
- It all comes down to gameplay, for both. If the gameplay of Reach looks annoying compared to Halo 3, I might pass on it. Ditto for SMG2. - Beryllium Dec 7, 13:22
Of course, this doesn't tell me what Halo: Reach is. RPG? RTS? FPS? -- nm - Mop (230 lbs) Dec 7, 13:11 9
- Bungie's last Halo game. -- nm - David Dec 7, 13:13 8
  - Still doesn't tell me if it's an FPS or not. -- nm - Mop (230 lbs) Dec 7, 13:27
  - So all three? - Krusty Dec 7, 13:17 6
    - ODST used Halo 3's code. Reach is all new design from the ground up. - David Dec 7, 13:22 5
      - My biggest hope is that it makes me want to play Halo again. - Krusty Dec 7, 13:25
      - Maybe they'll put some effort into a plot. -- nm - Shaun Dec 7, 13:24 3
        
        I really wonder why Halo 3's gameplay experience (as in, the campaign interaction/plot/story) seems so inferior to Half Life 2's -- nm - Beryllium Dec 7, 13:25 2
        
        (The actual world that Halo is set in is rich and populated with many good stories ... but the game doesn't show it) -- nm - Beryllium Dec 7, 13:26 1
        
        I agree. I think that's the only thing Half Life has over Halo. And Half Life is excellent -- nm - Remlik Dec 7, 13:32
In terms of sales, it's not even a question. -- nm - David Dec 7, 13:11
