Gamespy stats are completely wrong and it counts bots and shows bias towards certain games. Go to www.csports.net for player statistics As you can see: Counter-Strike 1.6 has 87,000 players on right now Counter-Strike Source has 27,000 players Battlefield 2 has 15,000 players Unreal...

Half-Life2 doing horrible in the UK? A while ago I said Half-Life2 had a promotion problem called "bad advertising strategy". Well something seems to be affecting HL2 sales in some key parts of the world according to this article. Guess they should have ran more ads (even TV commercials), and...

Expressive emotions and unprecedented use of physics, and believable character models puts Half-Life2 easily above Doom3 and Far Cry. General opinion around the globe seems to be (outside of Half-Life2 forums) that Half-Life2 is far more immersive than Doom3 and even Far Cry, so you are in the...

LOL! Doom3 did not look great. It looked flashy and unrealistic. Low res textures and low polygons with excess bump mapping is what Doom3 was. Doom3 characters all had blocky heads - If you call that immersion then you are on drugs. LOL! I can tell you now that Unreal 3 engine looks good but...

This is a stupid thread. UT2004 is easily considered to be a bought Gamespot score (medicocre multiplayer and horrible single-player), and so is Halo2. All you have to do is read the Half-Life2 review to see how poorly it was written. 9.2 would be more credible had the review been written by...

The Halo2 fanboy reviewer is so biased that he cannot bring himself to say that CounterStrike IS the most popular first person shooter, by a 10 to 1 margin. Instead he says CS is one of the most popular FPS. LOL! Honestly the review was poorly written as well. A 9.2 would be credible if it...

Gamespot seems to only care about multiplayer, so even a crappy game with multiplayer can get a great score. The funny thing is that statistically no more than 10-15% of people who buy games play online. Don't trust gamespot, their reviews are usually shit :D

This thread should be deleted or locked since it's spreading false information. Gamespot reviews are shit. They rate mediocre multiplayer games with horrible single player experience as being a 9.4 such as the crappy UT2004 which nobody plays except the bots :D By the way Halo2 got a...

Yeah the Half-Life2 trailer sucks, and while Half-Life2 may be a great game, its thunder has completely been stolen by games which had a far smarter advertising campaign, such as Grand Theft Auto San Andreas and Halo2. Valve and Vivendi need to get smarter when it comes to promoting Half-Life2...

They should make an XBOX that can play pc games :D. Over the weekend I've seen Halo2 advertised on TV seven times, and I'm still trying to figure out why Valve or Vivendi have trouble making a half decent trailer for Half-Life 2. :laugh:

No there have been at least 2. Gamesmaster claims that as well. They said Half-Life2 is almost worth the wait......though I have yet to see an actual scan of the magazine, but there have been quotes from a few individuals who claim to have it. There will most probably be other magazines that...

You don't seem to understand the importance of proper advertising. Half-Life2 is not as popular as some people think. Ordinary people like the parents who buy products for their kids at christmas are more likely to buy them a game that they see advertised. There are already magazines claiming...

No. They then compared Half-Life2 directly to Halo2 and Grand Theft Auto and gave those two games game of the month, which means they considered those two better than Half-Life2

Not only that but Grand Theft Auto San Andreas has completely shattered the sales record in the UK. Also a trailer does not have to show the best parts of the game at all, in order to be effective. There are lots of action movies and even some game trailers that show almost no action at all...

Half-Life2's promotion problem. It's called improper advertising. Gameplay trailers are nice but they don't appeal to the mass audience. Half-Life2 needs a proper movie trailer like Halo2 or Doom3 or even a 15 sec tv commerial. The Half-Life2 trailer on the http://www.half-life2.com is pretty...
