So far it has been going really well, most everyone has been cordial except for a few. I've been doing my best to monitor for potential instigators. Ha! I mentioned that in an earlier reply to this guy. A bunch of others mentioned Marathon, which is another good one.

I'm not saying Half-Life is devoid of lore, clearly I missed things which means I'll have to replay it again, just don't feel it's as expansive as Halo's. It's all opinion though, although I found out where I heard about the depletion of the oceans? it's one of the game descriptions on the older...

See I'm a huge fan of, what many people have taken to calling, "implicit storytelling". It's one of my favorite things about Dark Souls, which is in my top 5 games, and I just didn't get that from Half-Life 2 even after replaying it multiple times. The ocean thing I knew because I'm pretty...

Control scheme doesn't refer to only the dual analog controls and he wasn't referring to dual analog aiming. Halo's TOTAL control scheme, button layout and everything, became the standard for FPS's moving forward on the console. As for popularizing; Yes FPS's were popular on PC but how many...

Half-Life definitely has that Silver-age SciFi feel to it, I accidentally said Golden-Age in another post but that period really didn't deal with Cyber anything, and it's a huge reason why I absolutely love the series. Halo as a series has always been more of a Space Opera with really expansive...

I've said this before but I didn't really mean this as a "which is better thread" more as "which do you prefer". Both of these series changed the genre in incredibly dynamic ways I was just wondering which one people prefer, which I was then hoping would lead to a conversation about the merits...

Halo was/is a revolutionary shooter that changed the FPS genre in ways that are still being felt today. If it's "generic" it's because almost every fps copied it after its release much in the same way almost every fantasy writer has copied Tolkein's works. You might not like the changes it...

I didn't really intend to make this a "Which one is better" forum, more like a "Which one do you prefer". You can, of course, like both equally, shouldn't need to tell you that. Actually, I saw your post and moved to add "Both" as a poll choice but for some reason it's not letting me.

If you would kindly elaborate on your OPINION that would be preferred. Thank you. It's funny I thought the exact same thing when I was playing Half-Life. "Why do I have to switch weapons for melee and grenade instead of just pressing a button allocated to each? Why do I have to go out of...

Before I begin I just want to start off by saying I adore both of these games! Coincidentally, when I think of the best game series of the FPS genre it's these two that immediately come to mind. But lately someone asked me which one I think is better and I actually thought long and hard about...

I don't know what you mean by "Bungie has evolved absolutely nothing". If you mean in regards to gameplay they created; Halo, like it or not, fundamentally changed the FPS to the point in which its influences are still felt today in almost every game. I understand how people can dislike it...

No. David Cage is a foppish wannabe film director who has no discernible skill in regards to that field and so decided to go into game development where he assumes that just because he has a background in screenwriting any "game", that's game in the largest quotation marks possible, he makes...

It's either Bioshock: Infinite or Metro: Last Light. Both had such great atmosphere, stories, characters and gameplay that judging between the two is pretty much impossible for me, especially because at their cores they're such vastly different games. Both were absolutely delightful and the...

The Soundtrack was written by the same guy who does the soundtrack for Game of Thrones. Also did it for Iron Man and currently the Pacific Rim soundtrack is gaining critical praise and acclaim. The acting was great, the main guy was kind of shaky at times but overall everyone did a really...

The extremely well choreographed fight scenes, the stunning camera and art design, the amazing soundtrack, the expertise in which they built up the world, the generally great acting, the plot that while simple is decidedly lacking in plot holes, the generally upbeat atmosphere and feel in an era...
