[ot]Have you actually played Bully or Gta? Because you sound pretty ignorant in your post.
Rockstar is hardly a Bungie rival..
Bungie makes much more unique, less adult (broader market), and individual games. Rockstar makes.. What? A repetative game series involving prostitutes, drugs, and killing innocent people without purpose, and another game involving a school bully. Wow. Competition?
I mean, there are so many stupid thing you wrote there. Gta3 was one of the most unique and revolutianary games in 2001. You don't need to kill innocent civilians. And guess what, you kill drug dealers. Infact, a big part of San Andreas is you trying to keep drugs out of your gang. And in Bully, your not a school bully. God, what is it with people hating other game developers. Noooo, Ensemble is going to ruin Halo!!! There was this topic where the thread creator said that it was horrible that Bungie was letting someone else develop a Halo game, and then talked about crappy RTS games are,but admitted he liked Age of Empires. [/ot]
Now , to get back on topic, Bungie kicks ass, they not only have a hairy man in a gorilla costume with a cowboy hat, they have Frankie's bald head. The only rivals the Halo series has is every single good FPS on the Xbox/Xbox 360. Which is a lot, but Halo is better than 90% of all FPS, so no, Halo{and Bungie} don't have a direct rival when it come to genre(except for Bioshock and Operation Flashpoint, but those were made by God disguised as developer). MGS4 and Twighlight Princess can be seen as rivals,considering there both flagship titles for their respective systems. Gears of War and Halo can be rivals, who the better killer ap?
But Bungie's real rival is me. I'm the reason for everything bad that's happened to them. I drank from Ling Ling's head, I ate the cookies from the cookie jar, I banned Tijuana Mana from the universe, I'm the reason Alex Seropian left and Framkie joined. I'm the reason Shishka is still alive and the reason why the Halo 2 pistol sucks. It was me, I confess.
Note:The reason I put the middle paragraph in bold was because I wanted the mods to ony read that relativly smart part of my topic, and not read the rest and ban me for flaming and spamming.So mods, on ly read the bold, okay?
I feel bad quoting your entire post. Yeah, I've played a few of the GTA games. It's full of pretty rude content. Full of it. Whether it's blatant or not. It's not my taste of games.
Anyway, I don't see the whole "Mods, only read my smart stuff" thing.. I do see that you agree, Bungie hardly has a rival, but I'm still telling you, GTA was hardly "revolutionary". It didn't bring us anything new. Perhaps it didn't deal with drugs (except that your ice cream truck allows you to sell drugs to children? Great.), but it still sports prostitutes, and the ability to kill any random person on the street that is extremely encouraged. And let's not forget Hot Coffee, along with the other instances of -blam!- in the game. It just doesn't give them any good credit in my book, and I won't buy any of their games. Oh, they've lost a customer than Bungie has gained, and I'm sure more people agree with me than not.
It's nowhere near competing with Halo, which is also a completely different genre.
