[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] tsujen Because of COD, the most popular games out right now, yet it still held spots in the top 5 games played for almost 2 years with around 300-500k players per day.. People who say reach was a huge failure fail to realize how good the game actually did, sure it wasn't the best Halo game but it was still a good game what got a lot of players. [/quote] Well, not just COD (know that is the biggest jealousy point with reach ... but still). Also beaten by sports titles, FIFA 12 and now FIFA 13. ([i]a new FPS beaten by a sports title - WTF[/i]). And dont forget Minecraft ... hardcore stuff that it is. Guess bungie tried to claim that ground with forge, but? The fact is, that people pre-ordered reach on record numbers, and then brought even more copies as first-day releases - all thanks to the hype machine that is bungie ... and yet the online numbers dropped to 1/6th within two weeks. Good games dont become [i]uninteresting[/i] in that short a timespan. People were disappointed, bored ... and back to the OP's point, there was/are better games.
