halo vs gta...as a console seller..

[odpr]

welp, u see the subj..

Can’t say more then that besides from the fact that we have to admit, that gta is much better then halo, yes yes, there is nothing new in halo that we haven't seen on the pc, sure it's smart it's great but in the end it is just the same old first person ....
While gta is offering brand new idea, and u can't play it any where, no no u can't play it on pc, because it doesn't move at all..

so only place to play it is on ps two, and as far and stupid that this thing may sound my friend wanted to buy ps two just because of this game, there is nothing like it in the Xbox, and nothing like it is going to come out... so I think that we have another ps two buy blitz when the new thingy will come out...


we have to face the fact that until a gta or something like it will come to the Xbox the ps will continue to sell even more.. no halo eight or more will help, the reason ,again, is because halo doesn't offer anything amazing, that we haven’t seen on pc..

This is my opinion.

you can't play GTA3 on PC because it doesn't move? I think you need to check your specs, sounds like you are far below the minimum.

Besides, there are many "GTA" clones coming out on all consoles, so Xbox will do fine.

[Xracer]

till next year xbox is the only place you can play halo.While GTA you can play on PC and PS2.

ever hear of a lil PC game called Mafia??! it biatch slaps GTA3

[odpr]

Tell me ..as a gamer, what u wanted to come as fast as possible to pc, halo , or gta? I personally thought of gta in my mind, because it's new idea, never seen it in any other game!

Halo on the other hand u say, ok this is really good game , an amazing first person, but still I have my unreal, doom , and actually all the game that came to the pc in the last five years...so I can handle myself, because all the game to the pc are first person..

so ok, another first person but in space instead of houses....

so this is how I see it .. About mafia, when it's coming out?

about the other clones u said, when they are coming out? and again to bold it, clones!! don't tell me u weren't disappointed when u heard that gta isn't coming to the Xbox....what will make u more happy the news that halo two is coming in November, or gta vice city? with hand on the heart , what will u buy first....
Without knowing u guys I will bet gta... we just have to face it..

[rockola]

ok the truth...

Gta3 is a really awesome game.
gta3 is a really fun to play game.
gta3 is a new gameplay style that has never befor been done.



but.



gta3 is not a better game than halo. Ive played them both and say what you want, gta3 just isnt a better game.

Gta3 has its hooks, drive by's, car jacking, beating up innocent people. but other than that its just an ordinarily good game, nothing special. after the first island, youve basicly done everything.

the one thing abotu gta3 though is the fact that it is less geared towards a specific type of gamer. meaning anyone can pick up a game like gta3 and enjoy it. plus the mafia/gang theme of gta3 can be more appealing to a lt of people. Halo isnt like that. a lot of people have mad problems with first person games- learning the controls, some people just like to see thier avatar, it takes a bit more skill to play a fps well than it does a gta style game.

but for someone that doesnt have any of those fps hangups. they would get more overall enjoyment out of halo than gta3. halo is a better quality game. if halo was released , origionaly, on the ps2, it wouldve outsold gta3

[JimmieDoogan]

Mafia is already out in the states. honestly, I thought of GTA3 too when I wanted a game to come to PC... You know why... because I'm not going to waste my money on game for Ps2 when it's barely playable... (the frame rates are absolute crap in that game on PS2 and the game LOOKS frickin HORRIBLE compared to PC textures, in which, the PC version is EXCEPTIONALLY bogged down by the PS2 version graphically) Halo on the other hand, runs fine on my Xbox, looks fine and plays fine and is not bogged down by the system it debuted on.

[xboxmaster2002]

Halo sold Xboxes and GTA sold PS2's its as simple as that...

[LynxFX]

GTA3 looks and runs incredibly well on my pc. A helluva lot better than the PS2 counterpart plus with more features like an mp3 radio station.

So I have Halo on the Xbox and GTA3 on the PC. Why would I want or need an inferior and outdated PS2?

There is nothing that I want that isn't on the PC or Xbox.

[odpr]

pc u say... pc!! this is the worst thing ever..
why u ask?
welp the guys with the ps two have one gaming system , one place to go when they want to go and play, we on the other hand always come with the , excuse me , lame excuse. we can play it on the pc, the reason I bought the Xbox is to never ever play on the pc.

And yes there is gt on the pc, it runs so lame, I have a very good computer, it's full of bugs, and this is a games the screams I am from the console world go play me there!!
true the ps version has a very bad gfx comparing to the pc, but still there it runs really good..

Don’t get me wrong , I love the box, I want sony to loose and I want to see the gaming world coming back to the state. but still when u take the average customer, and ask him what u want to buy , e take him to one of the major market that u have in the stat, and tell him welp , what u want Xbox, or ps two, what will be his first question?
ok , which one have the better games?
Second one will be which one have more games.... u know the answer to that...

so what will u tell him. look there is this Xbox much better in gfx and much better in sound, but sorry I don't have any games to show that shows much of that , oh but the future of this console , whahwah, is very good......

so people living in the present not in the future will buy ps two, true maybe in a year, the Xbox will kill the ps two , but today, u can't compare them....

odpr your deluted, i would guess if you asked 10 people you would get the answer your looking for, but i bet i can ask 10 people and get XBOX.

Who are these average peple you speak of?? I have 2 regular GameStop stores that i frequent on a regular basis, and without question people are becoming more and more interested in the XBOX, PS2's have been coming in on trade at a higher rate than ever, i know, how can i back this, well........i can't. But your making this argument black & white, assuming what people will respond to questions YOU feel are the important ones.

Bottom line, both games in question sold systems for there respective company. But they are 2 complettly different games, appealing to completlly different people.

I stopped playing games on my PC along time ago, not that there is anything inferior about the PC experience, i just like playing on a console, but personally, i disliked GTA3, regardless of what reviews and people say. I have played it and it doesn't do a thing for me, this of course is my opinion.

There is the key....OPINIONS, we all have them, and to make blanket asumptions as to what the majority of people would say is just rediculouse.

[odpr]

w to say that u don't like gta..well well.. I find it hard to believe..
but ok, I can' understand that.

the reason I turn to the console world , is because I think that games there are much fun and there is no troubles with this problems that the pc , besides playing on the keyboard is so .....


anyway , what I wanted to say is that let's take a look on what will happen when the new gta will come ok ? and see..

what u don't get and many people here don't get, gta three got a huge community of gamers and people that say it's amazing game even if they are not a true gamers. even if they never played a game more then few seconds. this is what makes a good game a good one!

on the other hand halo is good, but only the heavy gamers see it's good, the fps system, is here for so many years, the average player will look at halo and say, ok , what is new here ?!

and u know what he is right, it's just a great amazing! fps game, but still it's just another fps.... while gta is what? another what? there is no another... there is a reason Microsoft is chasing them . there is a reason that so many clones are getting out, maybe one of the clones will outsold gta, after all halo is a clone of doom ...

Odpr...

Dude...it appears that you have skills in saying the exact same thing several different ways. How about some new input?

GTA3 is a third person shooter/fighter game. I've played the game numerous times and I find it somewhat boring after a while. I like the idea of being able to free roam, however, it's the same old thing no matter where you go: Just killing innocent people and stealing cars. Running missions for the mafia, etc is much more fun because there is a "purpose" and objective that you are trying to complete.

GTA3 lacks good framerate on the PS2 and graphically it is a horrible looking game. Gameplay is the strongest suit for GTA3 without a doubt. Excellent gameplay.

Comparing GTA3 with Halo feels kind of wierd to me. It's like comparing a Volkswagon beetle to a Ferrari Testorosa. Halo is, by far, a superior game in all aspects. Graphically, Sound, and even the gameplay is subperb...

The only drastic difference in the gameplay between GTA3 and Halo is that in GTA3 anyone can pick up the game (even a new person to the game) and be able to have fun. Halo, on the other hand, takes more practice to gain skill. I don't know about you, but, I prefer games that offer a challenge instead of being able to master a game in 5 minutes. Just my $0.02.

[Snoopy7548]

yea, and halo also has the system link dude max, im catching up to you! lol

Ah yes, my white bodies black nosed friend....System Link capability. Also, with XBConnect, you can play Halo on-line. Truly badass.

Oh yeah...keep in mind that you you have 1500 posts to go..and that's just to be in a tie hehe

[Snoopy7548]

you'll see. those 1500 posts will go by so fast. lol.

[ShannonX]

hmm, which game am i still playing? Halo i've had that almost a year now. I played GTA3 for about 3 weeks and got so bored with it, i haven't played it since. Its repetitious, you do the same thing over and over again.


as to GTA: vice city or halo 2. Halo 2 hands down as the game i'll be getting.

[Snoopy7548]

you cant really compare the games, in terms of gameplay, since theyre two different genres. gta3 is probly the most fun 3rd person action game ever, and halo is probly the most fun 1st person action game ever.

[hook-worm J]

GTA 3 isn't an entirely new concept... What about driver and driver 2 for PSone? GTA 3 just adds new stuff, and makes it a mature game.

[Snoopy7548]

yea, in driver 2, you could get out of your car and steal other cars. the only thing that makes it different from gta3 is that you cant kill people

[JimmieDoogan]

I have played LITERALLY COUNTLESS HOURS on both versions of GTA3 and I can say, beyond a shadow of a doubt that GTA3, dispite its horrid graphics (PS2's fault) is WORLDS better on the PC than it's PS2 counterpart. The PS2 version (I'd played 80 hours AT LEAST of the PS2 version before I'd gotten my PC version) BARELY runs on the PS2 hardware, because the PS2 can BARELY handle that game. If you had a good enough PC to run this game, You too would KNOW BEYOND A SHADOW OF A DOUBT that the PC version absolutely ANNIHLATES the Ps2 version. Now it may be cheaper to play it on PS2, but if you ask me, it was a mistake to have played the PS2 version at all, because I spoiled the PC experiance of what could have been an even better game. I especially love the fact that I can change out cars and character models in my PC version to offer up a new experiance to an old game. They even have a winter mod that takes advantage of PC's better abilities over PS2. BTW, I would have loved to have GTA3 on my Xbox, but obviously since Sony shelled out the cash to Rockstar I have to wait for the PC version of GTA VC (my PS2 broke, and I'm not replacing it...).
