You can wipe one game off from the face of the planet...

How did Halo make FPS's generic? It was a sci-fi shooter against an alien force with several different alien races and you played as a super soldier. You may be thinking of Call of Duty, you know, gunmetal grey corridor #742?

Dude, Halo's Library level is the definition of "gunmetal grey corridor #742." Or maybe it was some other color, but the point is that Halo has one of the worst "let's make the player go through the same copy/pasted area over and over and over so we can clock out early tonight" levels in the history of any popular first person shooter, and trying to defend Halo by saying other games make you fight in samey corridors makes no sense.

Halo

Now hear me out here.

If Halo didn't exist, there would not have been such a huge pop culture push and we wouldn't have all those CoD and Fps clones, we would have more games like Infamous and Ico.

Halo was a bland game that got way too much public attention and money.

Like inFamous? You want to get rid of boring, bland, and uninspired first person shooters so you can have more boring, bland, and uninspired third person shooters? That doesn't make any sense either.

I haven't really played the first two that much, but I thought some of the set pieces for the Halo 3 were actually pretty awesome. Snow level, organic flood level, beach, dark corridor (lol)


but yeah...let's not start a war or anything.
I do admit Halo has set the bar for first person shooters, making some bland

Kingdom Hearts.
For raping one of my favourite franchises by taking everything out of context and twisting a good amount of the details. Shame on you, Square Enix. Shame on you.

ja;hgey i graetly enjoyed those games! they may haove been out of contexct but regardless they are so much fiun!

(i a'm about a dozen bottle srunk so reason with me here_)

new super Mario bro's wii. whats that? its as good as the original? its the fucking same as the original.!!

yes! yes! a thousand times! In fact just mario In general...I just find him annoying now

 

[Chris646]

I'd get rid of Sonic. Just to see what happens.

 

[Troublesome Lagomorph]

ET. Seriously. Throwing it in a landfill isn't enough. It needs to be erased from human memory and all history.

If not that, then Superman for the Nintendo 64 (Aka Superman 64).
Edit: Also: Cosmic Owl? pfft! Cosmic Snakes are soo much cooler!!

 

[8bitmaster]

harvest moon, endless ocean, and the rest of the non-games. Whats the point of making a game if you are doing something non epic related. Its just not right.

 

[Dwarfman]

Far Cry 2 was by far the most boring game I've ever played so I volunteer it for the chop!

 

[deadmanreaper13]

dead or alive xtreme beach volleyball.
simply not needed in this world.

anyone who disagrees, bring it on.
and bring the owl with you. it will give you a fighting chance.

 

[Sorain]

I choose to eliminate Postal 2, brutally weakening the case files of those idiots calling for censorship on videogames, and elminating a game that (in my opinion) should never have been released.

 

[OrokuSaki]

If I delete Halo would that cause a chain-reaction and destroy the entire standard for shooting games and make them fun to play? If so I want Halo dead...... if not, I still want Halo dead, just to destroy its sequels and the whole franchise.

I didn't find it boring and bland, and it was one of the few games the pulls off Karma choices well-ish (I actually enjoyed playing evil more). Compared to, oh I dunno, Haze, Army of Two or any other FPS clone it seems original to me and to date is one of my favorite games. If that's not good enough, then think: If these (FPS clones) weren't the games making money, we would have a Bioshock a year, maybe a portal every two, because that is where the money would lie.

But it doesn't.

So I present to you Powder: http://powdertoy.co.uk/
This freeware (Yes, free, and at only a few MB it's tiny too) gives you no excuse to not play.
Try this. Build: A flame thrower, a nuclear Reactor, a working volcanoe and the most accuarate bomb you can and tell me it's not a fun time waster

Not trying to make a point here, it's just a fun time waster.

Halo..unfortunatly according to your rules ill still remember it though so i guess ill be some sort of martyr

 

[RandV80]

If I were a selfish bastard I'd say Diablo. Personally I never thought it was anything too special, and it shifted the CRPG market away from the deep complex titles like Balders Gate, Icewind Dale, Fallout, or Planescape torment towards much more accessible but lighter hack & slash & loot fare.

 

[Jack of Spades]

The Madden series, F*cking tried of that yearly cash cow and "professional" reviewers giving it 8.5 out 10 every time. It's the same damn game as last year, hell from 5 years ago even.

 

[Dr. Win]

Black Ops.
1) The campaign was a unfocused ballad of mediocrity
2) The characters were completely unlike-able
3) The multiplayer is boring and frustrating

Just to clarify, I do play multi player and single player, but I'm probably focused more on multi player (I have more hours on TF2 than my entire single player library combined :3), so trust me when I say that I'm not a single player elitist.

 

[Meilow]

HALO!

Sorry, I hate the game. Halo C.E. was about the only game that was tolerable to me.

People get off on this deep story, and new features to FPS gameplay.. blah blah blah. It's stupid, you shoot religious aliens in the face, your health regenerates, the end. I never saw the driving force behind the game, really, and I hope it dies out as fast as possible.

Well I know you said your not into single player, and I hate to be "this guy", but I actually thought the plot of Black Ops was a welcome change of pass from "Blah Blah Blah FIGHT FOR 'MERICA!"

but yeah, it's got problems.

 

[Adzma]

The rest of the CoD series after CoD 2. Let's get some new ideas in this industry kthxbai.

 

[Frozen Donkey Wheel2]

OK, you know what really bugs me? When someone makes a non-advice thread that asks a question...and then doesn't answer it themselves. It's just sloppy.

Anyway, I'm not sure why I'd WANT to wipe a game off the face of the earth when it seems easier to just not play it, but whatever. How 'bout Solataire? Suck it, office workers!!!

Halo. Yeah you heard me HALO.

Yes, I'm sure The ESCAPIST will be absolutely horrified at the suggestion.
