Gears of War

Also, dont forget that you have to turn on the chainsaw when being used, which doesnt happen automatically and dont forgot to gas it up before battle at the convient gas truck and hopefully it doesnt get shot and blow up in your face.

Totally makes sense.

And with all that, it STILL makes twice as much sense as clashing two chainsaws together and them still working.

If anything.. that just shows how little sense exactly clashing makes.

Doesn't mean I won't love it though. Just means it's completely and totally non-sensical.

Selling millions of copies and satisfying fans all over the world.

Yeah...lets hope they don't pull a Halo. duriroll

No, making one game with two sequels that do nothing more for the gameplay dynamic or plot, just improve the graphics.

Wait, though. Why would it matter to me, or anybody, how many copies they sell? The only copy that matters to me is the one I buy. Couldn't care less if I'm the only one who owns it or the millionth.

Lol, you know not everyone was satisfied with halo 3 this year.

EVeryone is never happy with any game.

There is no game that everyone on the planet likes..

Pac-Man? No, I guess not, that can be rather frustrating.

Hahahaha!!!! Props to ya...

Don't I get a cheerleader, too?

Aww.

Anyway, can I at least get someone to answer the question as to why "OHMYGOD THEYSOLDMILLIONS!" is a relevant positive? It doesn't make a game better.

Doesnt make it a better game but it does make the company money. Which is the point of making the game.

I said, I hope they don't pull a Halo, in reference to making two more repetitive, samey sequels. Someone, thinking they were clever, said "You mean sell millions of copies?".

It's an entirely irrelevant accolade, or it should be, to fans. So I'm asking how selling copies is relevant.

You said: "Doesnt make it a better game but it does make the company money.". So now please explain how this is relevant?

It doesn't make it a better game does it? You said so yourself, so ultimately you agree with me.

Difference is Halo 1 was a good game
Gears 1 is not a good game.

Do you have the mythical connection between "Games Sold" and "Game quality" then? Because that's what I'm questing for, as Halo fans seem to possess it, and you too, now.

Halo, Halo 2 and Halo 3 don't compare to Gears, and if you could infiltrate Bungie's dreams and manipulate them to your will, still couldn't make them come up with a better game than Gears.

See? We can all be biased. Lovely thing about opinions isn't it?

I don't like halo 😂

I despise that franchise also.

(sorry but halo cant touch gears of war, IMO.. thats just gross.. as gears actually has gameplay.. but first things first)

the way I see it... you go over someones house who has the game in question... you see them playing it, you join them.. you too enjoy it and wind up buying it.. this is one way games wind up selling..
as I'm sure there are many other situations involving the user themselves interacting with the software before purchase

so liking a game has nothing to do with it being good?... are you telling me that "good games dont sell" then?.. are good games so covert that they cannot rise above "cult classic" status?

Halo, while not the best game on earth.. is still a good game, thus it sells

same for world of warcraft.. pokemon... blah blah blah

these games thrive on tried and true formulas with very small additions so they dont ruin those formulas to break the addiction

games that sell good are usually good.. I dont see blood rayne or some shitty disney game selling millions of copies

I'm telling you that something being a big seller does not mean it's good. Avril Lavigne sells millions of records, Britney Spears does, Soulja Boy has.

Are you willing to argue the connection between sales meaning quality for those? I somehow doubt that. In this case, you think it's a good game, so do many, but it's sales do not mean that it sold BECAUSE it's good.

Let's be fair, Halo is the most hyped game of all time. It's The Beatles of games, celebrities showed up at it's release simply because it was a big deal.

No, it sells, and happens to be a good game to many. It's not necessarily selling because it's good, SOLELY.

Grand Theft Auto? Hardly. Halo? Hardly.

These are all BIG selling games that I think happen to be quite shit, and I'm not alone. Outnumbered? Maybe. Alone? Certainly not.

You are suggesting it being a big seller means it's a good game, it doesn't. It still doesn't answer my question though. There is no indefinite link between quality and sales, so why does any ONE fan seem excited by the possibility of sales?

I couldn't care less if Gears sold well or not, if it was the same game, I'd still love it. I'D have a copy, that's what matters to me. Couldn't care less who else buys one. If anything, mass sales simply means less chance for advancement. Look at God of War, look at...Halo, look at Devil May Cry 4. You have to be pretty damn special to ignore the hype and try for something better, these companies usually don't.

Same with GOW.

So? I'm not the one making your claims.
