Alex from GamesOnSmash.com writes "Yes, you heard it right. Halo is one of the biggest franchise this gen and it proved it by having more than 2.7 million players participated in the record-shattering Halo: Reach Beta. It actually was tripled in size compared to the Halo 3 Beta. You check out more information after the break."
GF365: "Oftentimes, video games have characters who are antagonistic and really not very pleasant. Here are some of the friendliest characters in games where you might not otherwise expect to find them."
Talented writers can build worlds that are as wondrous as real-life. Here are the best lore-rich video games for you to get immersed in.
How'd fallout not make the list. Atleast over cyberpunk, tales , and halo. Fallout been around since what 96 98 and has 5 6 games into it. It's full of lore when you play it. I'd even add star ocean to a point.
narration is more important than lore i'd rather watch the story and characters in a more cinematic way instead of searching for notes and stuff that's why i love sony exclusive games like uncharted and gow and hate from software games
Halo’s best ever campaign mode developed by Bungie has had its most annoying feature fixed after more than a decade, making the sci-fi FPS game better than ever
Awesome news - so can we look forward to playing Halo: Infinite with no online issues circa 2033?
Well I guess 12 years is faster than most fixes. I guess this is a cheap way to "remaster" something nowadays.....by just fixing something that used to always be broken.
Halo is dead. Microsoft has other shooter franchises it cares more about now. 343 are no longer Xbox golden studio. They are likely to shift things around or even close it all together and give the IP to someone else.
343i decided to pummel the IP into the ground...and when they see it didn't quite look like Glenn's face they decided to just keep on pummeling. Not sure if Glenn is the IP or the fanbase in this case though.
“ Halo Infinite, Halo 3, or Halo: Combat Evolved. It’s hard to say which of the sci-fi FPS games offers the best experience all round.”
He lost me with Halo Infinite.
I played it a bit and the implementation of the special skills adds a fresh new layer to the game.It kind of loses the balance the previous games had, but I think that sacrifice is fine because it's in the name of fun. And you gotta love jetpacks!
Nothing new actually xbox 360 has alway's been Breaking new world records but still well done Bunjie.
But how do "consumers" contribute to anything when nothing was bought? Shouldn't the title read "Gamers?"
@BRG9000:
True, but didn't most hold onto their copies knowing the Reach beta was coming?
God i hate hype seriously Halo is alright but does it really need this much hype id say it to if it where MGS4. Hype it up but damn keep it down a bit personally i think this stuff is really annoying record breaking o this game is gonna redefine gaming and all that other BS.
On topic tho i was in the beta i think its a step up from the other halo`s. But nothing will ever beat 4 player split screen Halo:Combat Evolved
crackdown was a pretty average game. It wasnt mindblowing or a experience ima remember years from now but that game sold like crazy for the halo 3 beta. People love halo its a big gaming franchise. This is no surprise to anyone and is not even news. How do these things get approved?
