With final pre-orders of just under 2 million units in the Americas and nearly 600,000 units in EMEAA, Bungie reporting that Reach surpassed the one-day XBox LIVE record for concurrent unique users at over two million unique users and as much hype as the release of Modern Warfare 2 last year, nobody doubted that Halo: Reach would be big.
Well, preliminary day 1 sales are in and it looks like over 3 million units of Reach were sold in the first 24 hours of availability across the Americas and EMEAA (Europe, Middle East, Asia and Africa).
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.
Reach...
Played Reach all day today and it's the game every Xbox360 owner should get.
Damnnnnnnn............
a new record?
Yahoo, on Modern Warfare 2: "Things have been rosier on the Xbox 360: earlier today, Microsoft spokesperson Major Nelson tweeted that the Xbox Live service just hit a new record of 2 million simultaneous players."
VGchartz on Halo Reach: "Reach surpassed the one-day XBox LIVE record for concurrent unique users at over two million unique users."
So... which one is right?
