Halo wins
Halo 5 will outsell this game
Easy[/QUOTE]
Only because of its online platform.
For instance, Call of Duty has outsold every Halo game to date.
:oldlol:
That doesn't make it a better game.
MGS & Uncharted never sold more than 7 million copies, yet Halo 4 sold 9 million mostly because of the online community.
SEVEN COD titles have sold more copies than Halo's BEST selling game. :facepalm
[QUOTE=outbreak]I actually like the last of us, I just don't think it's a perfect game but then there are very few if any perfect games. I'm actually really excited for the last of us 2 as I am guessing they will fix up the things that I felt were flawed or rushed and improve on the idea as most sequels do.
I'm playing through uncharted 2 remaster at the moment, pumped for uncharted 4 but disappointed because I really could have sworn it was meant to come out this year :( Oh well we have battlefront, fallout and tomb raider coming out soon so that'll keep me busy until christmas.[/QUOTE]
I'm excited for Tomb Raider but is it Xbox exclusive??

Timed exclusive I believe so it will flow through to other platforms later. I've got all the current gen consoles at the moment so I'll be picking it up.
Selling my Vita though, that thing was the biggest let down for me. Such a great console tech wise but it really got let down in the games department imo.

Just because i think something is overrated doesn't mean it can't still be good, in basketball terms I think Lebron is over rated by the mainstream media but at the same time I can happily acknowledge he has been the best player in the NBA at times.

Yeah, pretty much what i meant, what i said wasn't suppose to be taking too literal, but the internet haha.
Dude, i feel your pain on the release date, but i'm glad they're taking their time and not rushing it for Christmas. Funny thing is, the release date of March lines up perfectly with 2 weeks of annual leave i had already put in for hahaha.

Do you have a 3ds? well worth it for communters
That's true, I've got holidays at the end of March too I think so that'll work for me. At least it's spread out too but I was really pumped to play uncharted 4 right after the remasters, oh well it'll be something to play in a dryer period release wise and for sales it'll work out well for them not having to compete against the end of year release rush. I hate how everything comes out all at once.
Yeah I've got a 3ds (not a 'new' 3ds yet though which I'll probably pass on if the NX is replacing it). I like the 3ds, it's simple but the games nintendo have gotten for it are more suited to mobile and casual play than a lot of the bigger budget titles sony tried to get on the vita. I just think a handheld home console doesn't work, it needs to be a handheld console with games that vary from a home console offering and designed with casual and portability in mind. Some of my favourite recent games have been on 3ds actually, bravely default and fire emblem awakening were excellent apart from the sequels for those though it's release schedule look fairly dead.

Only problem i have with the release date of uncharted 4 is that the division comes out the week earlier.
I bought the new 3ds for Monster Hunter, i wanted the c stick haha. I'm going to hold out and see what the NX delivers before committing this time.

I only played the monster hunter on wii u. Smart idea waiting on the NX, my wii u hasn't been turned on in a very long time.

I'm only waiting on the NX cause i feel a bit cheated. I love my Wii U and it gets played almost every day (Smash Bros) but i feel like the Wii U still had plenty left to give with some more titles/development etc. So i feel a bit cheated that they gave up so quick. Hence why i will wait and see the NX.
I bought the Wii U after it had been out over a year and after i bought my PS4, whether that influences my opinion on it or not.
Yeah because COD is multi plat, and the biggest gaming franchise alive
But it lost its critical acclaim after MW2
Halo STILL beasting... The quality shows. 3 years inbetween games. The GOAT tier can't be games that didn't sell well. They are quality but they lack real world impact
Halo inspired a whole genre on consoles.... Halo 2 inspired online matchmaking... The exact shit which allows Cod to prosper today... Yep. That was from Halo 2.
Everything halo did including match making came from pc fps games. If you talk console than you need to talk about halo coming from goldeneye

Wrong.
For example;
PS3 - Modern Warfare 3 & X360 Modern Warfare 3 sold more copies than any Halo title. They combined for over 26 million copies.
Halo hasn't been epic since Halo 3, TBH.
I definitely would put Combat Evolved as a top 10 game of all-time though. I did not like Halo 2 that much; Halo 3 & Reach were good though. But I just think they are extremely repetitive. I can play Reach & then 2 weeks later put Halo 3 in, and I wouldn't know the difference.
I thought Gears was better. Mass Effect was definitely better.
I'm not even going to bring up Batman, Uncharted, MGS; all better titles, IMO.
Heck, I'd say Halo is slightly better than AC.
Halo 1 came out like 15 years ago bruh, give it up.
That's what I just said
COD is the biggest gaming franchise
But for Xbox alone Halo has always been relatively close in sales
Also FPS are the most criticized genre these days
Open world, large world RPGs don't come under that same scrutiny...
MGS is a stealth game... Almost every stealth gets marked high...
Uncharted is good but has anyone ever heard of it? No real world impact
Halo was breaking opening day records
MGS or Uncharted have never had that impact
Games like GTA, Cod and Halo are GOAT tier... But Cod not so much since post black ops
GTA is always good but it is pretty hard to **** up an open world game... Just put an excess of low quality content in there and people are raving. Halo stayed true to itself and never changed it up all that much... Stuck to the basics which is why it is the GOAT FPS console franchise. Other games bring in fancy functions and gadgets.. supplementing for true tactic and gameplay. Halo would maybe bring 1 or 2 new functions to every game... Halo 4 went overboard with the fancy additions and it hurt the game. The simplicity and ease of controls, as a lot of game critics like to say, the barrier between you and the game was non existent. Anyone could pick up a controller and get the hang of it. You criticize Halo for this, everybody else applauds it.
Just watch Halo 5 dominate. Champ's here.

Considering Halo hasn't won GOTY in the last 12 years, I'd say calling them the "champ" is a massive overstatement.
