Halo, Doom Sequels Rated - By Psychic

Posted by simoniker on from the more-accurate-than-many dept.

Friedenfelds writes "Xbox Nation magazine asked a psychic to predict reviews of Doom 3, Halo 2, and a bunch of other big Xbox games - the results are pretty funny." Among the games rated by "a bona fide soothsayer" are Halo 2 ("I see a lot of partnerships in the cards... there's a third in the works, but no one knows this yet. You'll enjoy it, but it's not great for any relationships you're in") and Doom 3 ("The review of the game, by the people... it's not going to play out as well as people expected. Maybe there was too much expectation.")

  1. "Maybe there was too much expectation" by KozmoStevnNaut · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Well, DUH!

    Of course some people will expect the impossible and be disappointed when they actually get to play the game. That's how it always is.

    Doom 3 is on of the most highly expected games ever, mostly due to the massive popularity of the previous Doom games, and also because of peoples faith in id to bring a rock-solid FPS experience. It might not live up to every little expectation, but it will be great. And the modding potential is very great. Every single bit of the game content as well as the tools (apart from Maya and Lightwave, of course) will be shipped in the box, making it even easier to get started on that map or mod.

    I am very much looking forward to finally being able to play Doom 3. I am certain that it will evoke pretty much the same feelings as the original games did. And I won't be surprised if I shed a tear or two due to nostalgia ;)

    They got their hands on a real live psychic and didn't ask about the release date for Duke Nukem Forever?

      The person was a psychic, not god. Psychics don't perform miracles.

    Probably the most accurate game review I've read this year!

    On Doom 3:

    "I think maybe the sales will be disappointing."

    Yeah, no-one is going to buy it; they'll just give it to their mates on 4 floppy disks.

    Funny .. I remember how I met my gf like it was only yesterday.

    The atmosphere, the excitement, the nervousness. The way she was holding that BFG.
