Controversial Gaming Opinions

Post by Mandatory »

I'll go first. I never liked Halo. Sure it's a "tight shooter", one of the first.. but I dislike everything else about it. The setting, characters and campaign missions. I have no nostalgia for the series and only ever played the first with friends.

Rented and played it, could not get into it.

Mine - GTA5 sucked. The series peaked at GTA4.

IV and VI? I love VI, haven't played through it in forever, but it is such a good game. IV is good too.

I think it was because it was the first console shooter that was as good or even better than then the FPS' on PC. Halo 2 also led the way with online multi-player on the original Xbox. That was a huge deal. Halo 3 kind of perfected the original concepts of 1 and 2.

Since then it hadn't quite been the same. Halo doesn't hold the same cache it had back then.

Damn dude. You have a discussion there but I think you're on the wrong side of it.

You're probably right. I absolutely agree it's probably the first great multiplayer console shooter after Goldeneye.. it absolutely broke the mold in that sense.

Vi might be better. Vi fucking rocks and has really original and unique game design. Some of the best music in video game history. So does CT though. CT has better writing I think.

Both of those games still hold up. Made in the golden era of RPGs. Even if it's not your genre Chrono Trigger is still worth a look. It's pretty inviting still.

I didn't love 4 or 5 and think the series peaked at San Andreas.
It's been 32 years since one of MN's four major sports teams has been to the Championship/Superbowl.
Every single year is failure until we win one. 4 teams, 32 years. That's roughly 128 consecutive failed seasons.

4 was definitely better than 5 though. I feel like 5 was kind of unfinished. Like there should've been a lot more in the middle of the story.
The heist stuff just really felt like they left a lot on the table.

They should do a current-gen remake like they did with FF VII. Or San Andreas 2.
