HALO 2 on it's opening day made more than 100 million in sales on its FIRST DAY of release, that right there goes to show the quality of games outside of japan,
lol
you are just like many of the "interesting" people who populated my college dorm room.
In the world of gaming let me tell you, the number of sales is not directly proportional to the quality of the game.
I have no bias on whether a game is Japanese or American made, all that matters is that it is a well made game. Personally, my favorite game at the moment would have to Half Life 2. While this is an american made game, i also enjoy many japanese games such as Chrono Trigger, the FF series, and a few fighting games.
Anyway, i just wanted to interject that halo 2 sucks and was a rushed project that didnt get finished to the standard it was hyped to be.
Halo 2 didn't suck, the sequal was ground breaking on many communities, it proved that violent first person shooters are still loved by millions, it created one of the most profound online communities ever, if you check the stats onto how many people are playing Halo 2 online, they're is an average 90,000 people playing the game even as I type this, the stat tracking system for the online play is one of the best i've scene in my life, you can rank yourself and the gaming clan you're in against the world for christ sake, not many games alloy such online capability like that, in my perspective, that alone is revolutionary, the story was good, and the hype? hell who didn't hype that game? i mean i made music videos and wallpapers for the game before it had hit store shelves, i posted parody trailers on
www.fileplanet.com, people talked about it on a constant rate, so how the hell are you suppose to feed the mob what they want, when they want too freakin much, besides The Limited Edition Verson of Halo 2 that comes with in a Metal Case with a Free DVD was a steal at only 55$ bucks lol, i mean they gave more then anything else.
And quality, shit Halo 2 hit the dinamite with quality and quantity,
and the blame for its lack of quality can be blamed on the press, the fans of the original Halo game, and all the common people out there who ranted about it. who in resolve asked for more they could recieve.
I mean hell, did any of the Final Fantasy games come in a Metal Case or with a free DVD?
Did any of the final fantasy games have an online tracking system as profound as Halo 2's
And what has more replayability, Final Fantasy 7 or Halo 2?
*cough* Halo 2
