Halo named Greatest Game Franchise by Guinness

[The_root_of_all_evil]

Last time I checked, Guiness only did records that were measurable. Getting opinions isn't exactly objective.

Check the Gamer Book of Records, there's some hilariously obtuse and subjective ones in there.

I bet the only reason Halo was #1 was cause the people who made the list didn't wanna get overrun by the fanboys that had swarmed outside their doors.

 

[Razvelius]

OK,no Legacy of Kain,no Mass effect...why is that again?

Halo is great until you play the 90 other games it rips off. I don't know why people love halo so much, it's not that great. Play Quake 2, and you'll understand how unoriginal Halo is. Quake 2 was made 3 years before halo.

Now, how many of those people voted for their favorite more than once?

 

[meglathon]

well halo did put online gaming in every house hold, and not just the hi-end PC homes.

Super Smash Bros. (#9)
Grand Theft Auto (#10)

And then they wonder why nobody cares about Guinness anymore.

I personally love how Tom Clancy's and Pong are franchises.

I guess their definition of the word franchise is different than mine.

Wow another company who's opinion matters little to me. Seriously it's always Halo that wins these stupid things and I'd sooner play Doom than Halo, because Doom freaking rocks.

You do realize that Halo was never #1 in any greatest games of all time list until this one, right? Doom often beats Halo on most lists. Stop exaggerating to justify your Halo hate.

Ok This Is Definatelt Terrible
Halo Sucks

You don't like Halo? Thats great, but:

I bet the only reason Halo was #1 was cause the people who made the list didn't wanna get overrun by the fanboys that had swarmed outside their doors.

And this list will riley up the crazy and wacky Halo haters too. I'm not a big fan of the series outside of the very first, but the fanboys for Halo are no different from any other fanboys and the Halo haters are equally pathetic.

This is coming from someone who wouldn't place Halo on my top 10 list.

Halo made it twice on the Spike TV game awards so like I said, I don't take many of these things seriously .

Ok, I really liked Halo but I have to say NO FUCKING WAY.
Then again, when have people who like Guinness, yahoo and ect actually get it right?

this is going on # of sales of course, which doesn't serve the games any justice. half-life was brilliant and is being undermined b/c GTA and GH had at least 5 huge games.

Halo named Greatest Game Franchise by Guinness popularity contest.

If you read the article, you would have realized that...

 

[DaMan1500]

Rather then ***** about the evils of Halo and blah blah blah like I usually would, I'm going to go kill a hobo with my bare hands.

And fail. Another person, once again, commenting while not even reading the article...

I thought this list was awesome until I realized Runescape was on there.

It full of crap. World of warcraft isn't a franchise. Madden is in there, and goldeneye. Ok, Goldeneye was a great game, but didn't spawn a sequel. Well if you count rogue agent, but that more of a 007 franchise than a Goldeneye one. It make by people that doesn't know any better so i don't let it affect me. Halo is overrated and i don't say that because i haven't play or didn't or to sound like Yahtzee. I did them with my friend. And the gears of wars. And the Army of Two, but i the end of the day, i always return to Duke Nukem 3D!
