Halo 3 was, in my opinion, the second biggest let-down in gaming history(the first was the original Fable) I'm almost certain that it was Microsoft's idea to hype up Halo as much as it was. Bungie didn't make nearly as much money off of Halo as Microsoft itself did.

Unless there's another sequel, who cares about any game three years after it's release, unless they are referring to it as a "retro" game?

Don't tell me you actually think Bungie made the game in 640p to make more money. =\

How did you not like fable? I played through 3 times now! I know the game is short but it's content was excellent. The new one looks A-MAZING!

[LordMe]

Fable was said to have so much more then what they put in it. I liked the game and so did he. He actually beat it... I did not... But the game was fun. but it is the biggest proof of what overhyping can do.

Do you know anything about Bungie besides the Halo series? If you did, you would know what I'm talking about.

[Teecee]

I don't think you will ever convince me that Bungie produced the game in 640p with the sole purpose of capital gain.

However, you are welcome to try. Present your evidence.

@coolest - Dude, Halo 3 is one of the best selling games in gaming history.

No. GTA4 took that spot. And best selling doesnt mean it was a good game. (See Spiderman 3's game)

Spiderman 3 was a failure. It was like the first 360 game I got. At first it seemed kinda cool but then, looking at better alternatives, it seemed horrible.

I just played through Half-Life 2: Episode One, for that one achievement where you use one bullet throughout the entire episode, which wasn't even hard, my friend made out like it wasn't possible. Now that Rocket Man achievement on Half-Life 2: Episode Two, is gonna be hard.

Ugh, I guess I need to spell it out for you.

Look at Bungie's classic game, look at what platform that they're on. Now, looks at their current game and notice what platform they're on.

You'll see my point, one way or another.

[The Electron Zone]

Exactly. Bungie split from Microsoft to become a LLC. Now they are named Bungie LLC.

So, because they sold out on one company for another, Bungie obviously made the game in 640p because they knew they could make more money that way? I don't see the connection. I know Bungie's track record, but you can't convince me to believe what you are claiming when there isn't any evidence to go by.

So, let's drop this. Clearly, we don't agree.

The 640p was just a way to get people to see the graphics, go "Ooh!" then buy the game and more profit for Bungie.
