Easily Call of Duty.
What?
My opinion. It's a fucking awesome series that has been consistently good since 2003.

It ain't exactly difficult to give a quick re-check and see that I've added a line moments after the post. But if you're curious, I'll be happy to indulge you: I tend to regard the 'it'd be trollish' remarks with a quirk of a brow and an unimpressed look, when that same poster is talking about his childhood being raped, in another thread. I'm pretty sure that doesn't give you the moral highground, and even if it did, the OP very clearly specified that this was purely a question of preference.Atmos Duality said:Copying my reply and posting a non-response isn't answering my question.Zay-el said:Did you have a point to make with your own flame bait?
Either stick to the topic at hand, or don't post. It's that simple.
I know.tigermilk said:Fortunately the OP asks quite clearly for peoples preference not an emphatic truth.
GTA's "cultural depth" and commentary is about as subtle as a wrecking ball, its writing is clichéd, and its characters mostly 2-dimensional and often irritating.valleyshrew said:Inarguably GTA. No other game series comes close to the cultural depth. I can't think of any other realistic contendor. Shallow kids games (mario,zelda,pokemon) don't count as they are a dime a dozen and not indicative of the quality and production values a videogame can aspire to. Half-life has only had 2 releases and linear fps are not anything special. What other series with as many releases has been as high quality? There's nothing. But you'll all disagree and just list your favourite game series instead.
There's still nothing else out there like the GTA games, other than maybe RDR & LA Noire. All other openworld/city/sandbox games are mindless fun and don't have the attention to detail or depth GTA has. Infamous,prototype,etc. they don't have radio stations, they have hardly any characters, they have simplistic plots and missions and focus more on mindless gameplay. Nothing comes close to GTA in characters, writing or setting. The whole series is a great social commentary relic of american culture in the past 100 years. Different eras and different cities represented in the music, the fashion, the ethnic groups, the cars, architecture, and tone etc. People don't appreciate enough how much more work and detail is put into GTA than any other game series.
Your response is a fallacy: Poisoning the Well.Zay-el said:It ain't exactly difficult to give a quick re-check and see that I've added a line moments after the post.

Actually, check a bit upwards and you can see I've already contributed to this thread in the fashion that would be required. Antagonizing people...um...weren't you the one who just dropped by to remark that the point of the thread is basically trollish, without even apparently fully comprehending the OP?Atmos Duality said:Your response is a fallacy: Poisoning the Well.
Your statement is utterly irrelevant to this thread, and serves no purpose other than to antagonize me.
Further, you have yet to provide the full context of your statement, suggesting intent to mislead. Whether this is true yet remains to be seen.
Finally, my qualms with Square-Enix are primarily subjective in nature, so I'm unsure of how you are able to enforce "morality" or standards anywhere here. Either that or you are unsure of what "morality" actually means.
Either provide something relevant, or stop posting.
Ah gold old Half Life, Half Life 2 was by far the best in the series i believejbchillin said:half life is at the top of my list. bioshock is a very close second tho
