Why pre-order?

It's gonna be on store shelves everywhere so theres no point.

...Unless you wanna look like a looser but with great power armor. lol

awiseman4974d ago

Preordering givs u better deals. Ur comment is as stupid as it is ignorant. You get GURANTEED street date delivery and gift and promotion cards form most retailers. Some even sell the game for less than the msrp.
Educate yourself fool before you start bashing SMART gamers.

I pre0orsered mine form amazon

AMAZON FTW!! 99 cent street date delivery.

You get just as many deals without pre-ordering. K-Mart 25.00 gaming coupon Best Buy 20.00 giftcard. Toys r us 25.00 giftcard. You can walk into any of these stores and pick one up on Tuesday. Pre-ordering is just a way for stores to get your money quicker. It's amazing how much interest these company's make from the money they get from pre-orders. 2 million plus pre-orders for Reach, do the math.

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.

robtion481d ago

Agree Fallout should be on there.

MadLad481d ago

And somehow Planescape Torment doesn't even make the list.

Crows90481d ago

Hollow knight surpasses these.

shinoff2183481d ago

In lore? I must be missing something

Crows90481d ago (Edited 481d ago )

Yes in lore. Easily missed... absolutely. Never played a game that had me loving the world and lore behind it as much as that one. Most of course wouldn't be able to experience it since it is a more difficult game.

DarXyde481d ago

I can't speak for all titles on this list, but by the time you get to Dark Souls III, the lore is a bloody tapestry of intricacy

Crows90480d ago

Played them all. Im not saying the games on the list dont have good lore...I just think hollow knight had more lore that is hidden but present and more easily explored and accessed. The souls games have tremendous lore but theyre mostly hidden and stay that way unless you look for it and research it. The lore is not very accessible.

DarXyde480d ago

Crows90,

I think that's a somewhat fair assessment. For me, the Souls games are less upfront about the lore, but it does invite your fascination through NPCs, items, locations, bosses, etc. There's this kind of natural progression where the picture becomes just clear enough by doing the essential tasks, but it really makes you want to explore every inch of the world.

TheColbertinator481d ago

Suikoden and Legend of Heroes also have massive lore setups.

agent13480d ago

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

shinoff2183480d ago

The article was top ten lore in video games. I think they did a bad job picking games out. I know what you mean though. I just like a variety of games and genres.

Awesome news - so can we look forward to playing Halo: Infinite with no online issues circa 2033?

just_looken566d ago

"You can download the improved Reach AI mod at Mod DB" This was a mod 343 did nothing so the online will be fixed in our dreams.

SullysCigar565d ago

Par for the course with 343.

Profchaos565d ago

They did say they had a 10 year plan for infinite we just all assumed it would be DLC could of been a 10 year netcode rollout.

But seriously this is a mod the community won't be able to modify infinite in the same way

Cikatriz_ESP566d ago

Combat Evolved was the best campaign, and it's not even close.

just_looken566d ago

You should have tried this version of reach when it first came out remastered for a year there was no sound because 343 could not locate the sound files.

It was a special challenge.

badz149566d ago

more like the bunch at 343i are simply mentally challenged

ACEMANWISE566d ago

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.

zidane1341565d ago

Did you even read the article? This is a mod to improve AI from back almost 2 gens ago. Nobody is claiming this is remastering anything. Yeesh.

Crows90565d ago

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.

Profchaos565d ago

343 were never the golden studio they were a hastily thrown together b team when bungie said we want to do something else cya

Crows90565d ago

Well ...I didn't want to say it but I agree. Makes you wonder why Microsoft gave them the IP and didn't keep Bungie or any of the talent they acquired from any studio.

CobraKai565d ago

“ 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.
