4 is better than reach for sure. Reach is almost unplayable by halo standards. 4 is still garbage though

 

[putting in work]

Nah I thought Halo 4 was the worst... it was Halo but it was like it wasn't either.

Maybe because it was a different studio or something.

I still put a lot of time into Reach whereas Halo 4 I played it for like a week and was done with it.

Honestly reviews just met you know the game isn't complete trash. Halo reach got awesome reviews and we all know how that went. Destiny is game of the decade according to reviews but imo it's just ok.

 What reviews were you reading?

since when was destiny met with good reviews? it's sitting at a 76 metacritic and was panned by a lot of reviewers.

edit: empire beat me

From what i 've played of reach and halo3, they're the same.

Gonna assume he's only looked at the box art and called it a day

 

[iYen]

I stand by my statement.

Played Halo 3 to completion in 07 and played the first level of Halo Reach.

Same game mechanics brahs.

MS going for that jugular. Now that's the pricing that's a game changer. And to think even with Kinect it debuted at $500. :x

Seriously considering the Sunset bundle unless they announce a MCC white console bundle soon

^knew about that one but it's only Brazil. That's why I'm waiting for that US announcement if not Sunset it is.

m$ has much more to offer than $ony right now.

To think, I almost impulse bought a ps4.

m$'s transformation(180s) over the course of the year.

I assume halo 5 would have an xb1 bundle.

Phil Spencer said that he doesn't want to take advantage of Halo fans by releasing an MCC bundle.

He said he wants to fully back first party IPs like Sunset.

He also said that the bundles are planned a year in advance of release.

 

[Ja's 2¢]

^good info iYen.

Guess will wait for BF then, some retailer might bundle MCC with the Sunset bundle as a doorbuster or something.

desperate MS, is best MS. Looks like what was said about the sale numbers might be true. Picking up that sunset overdrive bundle

 

[putting in work]

I know most of us in here likes and enjoy our XB1, but man it's getting slaughtered right now in sales compared to the PS4.

I was reading the comments from a video @Antidope posted from IGN about Halo and one comment said that M$ is trying to save face by combining the 360 and XB1 sales to keep afoot with the PS4 sales since the PS4 is almost quadrupled and some against the XB1 alone.

I see Boost posting and bragging in the title of the PS4 thread everyone month when the sales numbers come out

I wonder how they plan to combat this and compete but I must say I'm more than happy with my XB1 and have no complaints.

 

[blastercombo]

I wonder who actually cares about sales. Like how does that in any way affect you?

Isn't sprint equipped on Reach's first level though?

 

[sole vintage]

I thought 4 was considered to be the worst

It is, Destiny took a page from halo 4. Walk to door, im going to hack this get ready, survive in coming wave of enemies. The only saving grace of Halo 4 is the mulitplayer but not by a lot. Halo 4 came overhype and received high scores it didn't deserve just because its was Halo.

I would assume that price drop is their answer. If I was an uninformed parent, I'm going with the cheaper option. I expect MS to win these next couple of months. Only reason I can see Sony winning is if people lean towards Sony because their friends are already on PS4.

I have both PS4 and X1. I like my PS4 more; majority of my friends play on PS4 and better exclusives IMO.

"Xbox record that" is so clutch tho

 Sometimes I'm playing PS4 and I'm yelling "Xbox record that"

 I never was a Halo fan but I'm older now so I'm going in with an open mind. Back in 07-12 it was Gears >>> every other shooter.

it can dictate if they are going to try funding new IP's. If sales are sluggish they might just release sequels or buy exclusivity for certain games (Tomb Raider)

I get what you mean but that's how a lot of things are in life

I think it's really interesting. Seeing how specific strategies succeed and fail, marketing to specific demos, ect. 

I took and enjoyed marketing in college though, so that might be why. 

And I think as a consumer, you'd love to see all three companies neck and neck.
