Deus Ex and it ain't even close

>>715918139 (OP)
Don’t ever compare the cubie dogshit on the right to the most influential game released in the last 4 decades

halo was only enjoyed by people who have so little experience with games that they didn't know any better.

>>715918139 (OP)
Metroid Prime isn't even a shooter, both pretty mid games btw

>>715918139 (OP)
The fake debate. Halo is a straightforward FPS focused on high-octane combat. Metroid Prime is a metroidvania focused on methodical exploration. The similarities are purely superficial.

>>715918139 (OP)
I miss Monty

Halo took the dogshit hallway shooter that half life was made it 10x better.
NoTears.

>>715918139 (OP)
There is no debate, Nintendo franchises have a real fanbase, Halo fans don't like the series, they just miss playing with their butt buddies in their room or abroad. Halo's going to need to make big changes if it's going to survive the future. Halo multiplayer is dead.

>>715918464
lmao, bait

>>715918381
Prime is a FPS so it fails as a game if it's only about exploration

>>715918223
Based. Imagine thinking some plasticky cartoon cube slop stacks up to a game that basically invented modern immersive sims. Deus Ex set a standard for how player choice, narrative depth, and multiple gameplay styles could all exist in one package. No game on that kiddie lunchbox even comes close.

>>715918139 (OP)
Prime, easily.

>>715920293
this is the most retarded shit ive ever seen on this board

>>715918139 (OP)
i wish the og's trilogy halo's had a better format for the story.

ask anyone back then and they would all say Halo

>>715920293
That's what FPS games used to be about to a degree before Halo fucked that up with its brain-dead design.

>>715921281
Halo has actual combat encounters and isn't just scanning shit and brainlessly locking on, you're retarded

>>715920293
FPS and exploration aren't mutually exclusive, you even explore in halo 1 a little bit.
Prime is about being in a more proper POV of Samus, the game was designed around the first person perspective to be immersive, so in many regards it's a better FPS than Halo.

>>715921389
the combat in metroid prime mimics the combat in 2d metroid games where it is more about line of sight than pointing and clicking. if i wanted to play a point and click game i would buy a box of cereal and load up pajama sam 3

>>715918139 (OP)
forced debate by xbox fans(yes, they exist)

>>715921982
That's why the Prime series is shit and you should only play the superior 2D games

>>715921389
You fundamentally misunderstand what Metroid Prime is. You've likely never played it, or any Metroid game for that matter

>>715921389
It has the same repetitive encounters repeated for 10 levels, it sucked ass in 2001 and it sucks ass now. Prime changes it up like other FPSs that aren't Halo or COD.

>>715918139 (OP)
how is Halo doing these days? Haven't had a good game since the 2000s? Bummer. Metroid Prime 4 comes out this year :)

>>715918139 (OP)
Metroid Prime mogs any Halo

>>715918139 (OP)
Metroid has better art direction but Halo mogs it in every other way. Lock on shooters are the trannies of shooters

>>715922546
Halo never had a good game, it was astroturfed, overrated, and overhyped. People are now just seeing it for what it is since Xbox is finally dead.

>>715922431
No, i understand that it is shit, im not a big Metroid fan but Fusion and Dread were legitimately good games so i was very dissapointed when i tried out Prime

>>715918139 (OP)
Never played Halo but that shit is objectively better than Prime 1
Fuck Prime, hands down the most overrated of all time. It's extremely fucking linear but it's still fucking built as a metroidvania for some reason meaning that you're forced to backtrack all the fucking time. It's a complete downgrade from Super

>>715922689
Halo 1 was good and probably has the best hard mode of any FPS game, you're just a retard

>>715922689
I like Halo 1 & 2 a lot, but Halo feels pretty irrelevant these days compared to Metroid which is funny considering how it was back during the Prime days

PC gamers always seethed about Halo but I didn't realize there were also Nintendo crybabies

>>715923016
You're retard, you mentally hadicapped faggot.

>>715923124
Only way to save it is going campaign-only and incorporating old shooter elements. They also need to get rid of the recharging health and go back to Halo 1's health system. What a stupid change Halo 2 did.

>>715923285
No one likes Halo, that's why your classic games keep flopping on every platform it's put on that isn't an Xbox, a REAL Xbox.

>>715920629
Immersive sims is an irrelevant meme genre dishonored theief and prey all troonshit Deus ex is dogshit and has never been cited as an influence on any big game you mentally ill steamie faggot

>>715923460
Halo was huge, it was the biggest FPS for 3 games until COD took the crown

>>715923285
That's what half life fags do. They complain any fps is not half life is bad. Plus they jealous they game franchise died out

>>715922546
The last good Halo was Reach in 2010

>>715923476
I'm brown btw, not sure if that matters

Halo has 12k votes on IMDB
Prime has 2k
Nobody cares about primeslop

>>715923817
We know you are steamie , hence the shilling of troon ex in unrelated threads because deus ex is too fucking dogshit to ever have a thread of its own and must leech off of superior games like the parasitical troonshit shovelware it is

You will never be a real FPS

>>715918139 (OP)
At the time it was a mix up depending on if you preferred single player or multiplayer (Prime has a better single player). Over time, Prime has aged far better than CE

>>715918139 (OP)
Halo CE quite obviously.
Not even sure how you can debate this one. Prime sucks.

>>715918223
Halo has very little lasting influence, CoD stole its spotlight and even got Halo to turn into more of a CoD-like starting with Reach.

>>715924323
cod aged like milk. it's neither competitive nor casual in a fun way like halo.

Prime still delivers a very unique experience with its 3D first person metroidvania design that has yet to be beaten or even mimicked outside of its sequels. Halo is bland by today's standards and its biggest stand out feature at the time was high production values with cutscenes/music.

>>715922715
>fusion
>good game
braindead retard

>getting filtered by a nintendo game
why are PC """gamers""" like this?

>>715922825
Prime and super have the exact same world design except prime adds an extra area in between the other places (magmoor). Prime is one of the least linear metroid games especially when you consider super's follow up which released on the same day as prime is fusion

>>715924396
>CoD aged like milk
ok so did Halo

Master Chief is a pretty cool guy, eh kills aliens and doesn't afraid of anything

>game nobody gives a fuck about anymore (halo) vs game that is still revered and worshiped to this day (prime)
there is no debate

>>715924295
halo is literal dogshit and the first one is the worst of the bunch, comparing it to just about any other contemporary FPS will have it coming up short

>>715923650
>Halo was huge
These means nothing, being huge and popular is an indication of being pure shit. It was sold on social experiences and overhyped marketing. That's why it died. "You had to have been there" is a sign that it really wasn't good if you need to have been there for it to be considered good and I've been there, so I know. You Halofags are the reason gaming is where it's at today, remember that.

>>715924907
When you play Halo and then play FPS that came before, during, and after it, you come to the realization that Halo was never good. Halofags are too scared to explore other shooters and they can't come to the realization why Halo died and why it was going to die with or without Bungie. Halo PC and Halo Custom Edition selling worse than Halo CE on Xbox were a sign of things to come.

>>715918139 (OP)
My childhood is better halo won prime is shit. Imagine playing as a woman

mfw /v/ is so far gone they are nostalgic for halo

Prime’s GCN’s controllers were total dogshit and ruined the game.

>>715918139 (OP)
It's been almost twenty years since the last good Halo.

Metroid Prime, otherwise, only has a single good game.

>>715925770
Halofags are deranged and mentally ill

>>715918223
HALO gets pretty rough near the end though with how long and samey the levels get, which is a problem Metroid doesn't have.

>>715924918
stay mentally ill, not my problem
Halo is one of the most copied games ever made because it figured out how to do FPS with a controller

>>715918139 (OP)
>nintendofags are adamant that gameplay is king, more important than anything else
>except for Metroid Prime, where it's all about muh immersion and grafix

there's no comparison, it's not even close. primefags deserve the rope, their incessent whining is the reason why i was deprived of Returns 3

>>715922546
I love seeing Samus just chilling, doing admin. ... Man, I don't care if purists whine at me, I want a spinoff that focuses on Samus' normal mercenary work. The main games are the big important missions. I want to play Samus doing random pay-the-bills jobs. And yeah, I know that would basically just be Fallout but good.

>>715918139 (OP)
what a stupid comparison

>>715926314
Metroid Prime’s gameplay is great anon, it’s the backtracking that’s bad.

>>715918139 (OP)
Halo had actual multiplayer, but the atmosphere and tone are actually less dark than right. However, there is a part in Prime 1 where how to progress is not hinted at all and can only be found if you randomly shoot everything for a loooong time and happen upon it by accident. Don't remember right now.

>>715925770
Am I really talking to 40 year old boomers? Jesus

>>715926154
Halo keeps it fresh by introducing new tools and enemies to fight near the end.

>>715926154
Copy pasted rooms are a huge issue in the back third of Halo and it gets old quick. The game becomes boring shit the moment you head inside then picks up slightly for the finale

>>715926314
Prime games legitimately have satisfying platforming and movement options, particularly in the trilogy release on Wii. It's just a shame they removed so many glitches from the initial NTSC release of Prime 1.

>>715918139 (OP)
Halo is far more replayable just because of how different your interactions with the covenant can be. Metroid enemies are just your typical Nintendo mooks that are super predictable on purpose

>>715921389
>and brainlessly locking on
There is nothing wrong with this. In fact for a console FPS that is single player only and about a person inside of a power armor suit this actually makes a ton of sense. Only issue to me really is the color coded enemies being immune to all weapon fire but its weakness. Would have been better if they resisted this but not immune. For Metroid Prime itself its fine since its a final boss. This may actually be my only huge gripe with the game beyond slight nitpicks here and there. Beam switching could have been faster to but then again GC only was working with 7 buttons.

Halo was popular because of multiplayer. The campaign was fun but doesn't matter.

>>715927090
skull runs were really popular, and fucking around in campaign was just as fun as MP.

>>715923675
Half-Life didn’t die due to poor quality they just stopped making it. Halo has had 3 horrible games in a row. Half-Life 3 is rumored to be in development too.

>>715927090
That's a dumb take. Multiplayer wasn't a big deal until Halo 2 with Xbox live. Halo got initially popular with its campaign that most people played couch coop on

>>715918139 (OP)
anything on gaycube automatically sucks

>>715927442
>multiplayer wasn't a big deal
>halo got initially popular with its multiplayer

>>715927442
no, 2v2 and even LAN matches were big with Halo 1

also years later Halo 1 PC had fun multiplayer that /v/ played a pirate version of

They're literally nothing a like, outside of being FPS games with an armored person.

>>715918139 (OP)
I like both
weebkino is always based
>>715918381
this
>>715922662
honestly I feel the opposite
halo has the better art direction (pre 343 at least) and imo metroid prime has much better maps and environments compared to halo (strictly halo ce)

Xbox is dead.

I pick both

Halo is an actual shooter with a fantastic soundtrack, vehicles, good weapons. Later on it had multiplayer and co-op. The sequels improved on so many things and Halo 2 was huge, 3 was even bigger. Prime is still a good series but lets not get crazy here.

>>715918223
Aren't you that samefag that made that spasm filled thread about how much you hate the GameCube?

Halo is the greatest trilogy of games ever made.
They were so popular and yet nobody knows why, this thread is proof. 343industries is proof.

I still feel like I'm the only one who understands them. They will never understand it. I am alone.

>>715924323
Halo literally created the control layout that shooters use on console to this very day and popularized dual stick aiming
>Muh Alien Resurrection
Literally nobody played, and people only realized it existed years after the fact. Halo made developers (including the Activision) realize that the Goldeneye controls were outdated dogshit, and adapt to actually functional controlling methods. COD literally would be what it is today without Halo.

Anyone with nostalgia for Halo is low IQ

>>715928609
They were popular because they were baby's first online shooter. Any idiot could quickly get some friends together to play. Once an easier game came out, Halo fell off.

>>715929286
>they will never understand

>>715929647
You're in the minority. Nobody cared about Halo because they autistically replayed the campaign a million times. They cared because it had multiplayer.

>>715929202
sorry you missed out anon

>>715929736
lol me and my cousins autistically replayed halo 3 all the time

>>715930132
Everyone else was in Social Slayer. Sorry you missed out.

You were that weird outcast in school that played metroid while all the other normal chads played halo.

>>715918139 (OP)
Halo and it's not even close. Prime is an awful game by all metrics.

I like how the original Halo level is just Cascadia aesthetics (Bungie was in seattle)

Gaylo is dead and Metroid is having the best run it’s ever had. Stay in your lane, Xcuck.

>>715930348
and it's reflected in the halo cover. basically the cascadia flag.

>>715918139 (OP)
I played Halo this year and it was legitimately one of the worst FPS games I've played

>>715930361
prime 4 is likely going to be just as mid and soulless as nu-halo
the singularity gimmick does not belong in metroid.

>>715930627
Coping in advance, tortanic nigger?

>>715930893
not really, i actually love metroid more than halo, but dread let me down so i just expect prime 4 to as well

>>715918139 (OP)
I played both in their prime and sidestepping the apples to oranges bullshit, halo is better. Halo was more relevant to my formation and more relevant to me in adulthood. Prime was just "that was a good video game". It's not years of couch multiplayer and xbox live. If I had to return to a formula it would be halo. I was bored scanning things in prime sequels. Just play subnautica instead.

If I was trapped on an island I would definitely.pick halo. Vehicles make it a lot more fun to play

Barreling through enemies with a warthog with your buddy on the turret is one of the top vidya experiences out there. Sorry metriod

>>715932129
>halotards playing their first game with vehicles be like

>>715932376
you've been seething about halo for 2 decades, give it a rest man

>>715932547
youve been sucking off a bad game for 2 decades, give it a rest man

even the worst halo game plays better and is more popular than prime, metroons are mentally ill

Bunch of fucking posers in this thread. The ones that hated Halo and saw it for what it was and console shooters in general were PC gamers already playing games like Quake, Unreal or 1.6. Halo was extremely popular and was played heavily in both the campaign and multiplayer settings. And back then people used to throw LAN parties, something you faggots would probably have a panic attack at the thought of.

I don’t mean to sound like a schizophrenic
but I think ACfag and the “my first fps” guy are teaming up to pit these two fandoms against eachother

>>715926269
>Halo is one of the most copied games ever made because it figured out how to do FPS with a controller
You say this like it was a good thing, it only led to Halo dying faster and needing to copy other shooters which only kept it going for a decade. Now the only way to survive is to take from the FPS games, that came before it, that it tried to kill all those years ago. Funny how that works

>>715918139 (OP)
>left
the console fps that defined the core mechanics of what a twin stick fps should look and feel like. the control scheme set forth by this game is virtually identical to every other good-handling console fps after it. two guns, frags, control schemes set forth by devs for right and left handed gamers, and lastly a basic aiming system that is immediately intuitive to anyone (especially those not familiar with fps games). easily in the top 25 best games of all time, and top 5 most influential for better or worse.
>right
transitional, jump-to-3d title that came out a whole generation too late. handled weird despite halo coming first, very weak emphasis on fps mechanics. universally considered to be a platformer/puzzle metroidvania (duh) over fps. very good, but nowhere near as good, and required a remaster 20 years after the fact to handle in a way that could be considered correct.

there is no debate here. the similarities end at sci-fi aesthetic and fps perspective. very loosely, they center around "find enemy-shoot enemy-explore-move on", but that's like comparing a sharp x68000 to a modern gaming pc. both sit on a desk and crunch numbers.

>>715928609
>Halo is the greatest trilogy of games ever made.
They're not but you can keep talking about those midnight launches instead of the actual games.

>>715930627
Prime 4 can be as mid as it wants and it would still beat Halo. Halo got beaten by a series it created, Call of Duty Modern Warfare.

these games have nothing in common, this ‘debate’ was never great and most of you fags were probably still in diapers when it was relevant. anyway halo and xbox are dead brands so metroid wins by default, sorry shitters. also anyone I ever knew IRL who liked halo was a massive fucking nigger and not even in the endearingly ironic way, just sweaty chimp retards who tied their entire identity to it. franchise death couldn’t happen to a more deserving gaggle of mongoloids. I’ve never met a metroidfag as uppity as halofags but that’s because they’re meek autists who keep to themselves kek

>>715934405
TRVTH NVKE

>>715934405
It's funny seeing these losers lose it over Halo being dead. Microsoft no longer sees anything in the series and these guys are hating things that would benefit the series going forward because they really hate singleplayer games.

>>715930361
Metroid's best run was 2002-2009, I doubt it'll get to that point again

>>715921281
halo rewards and features exploration though

I love both

I'd love a Halo game that takes more influence with prime in terms of exploration and atmosphere, it's what Halo 4 should have done

>>715930562
as compared to what?

>>715934990
Barely, it's a linear slop, its "exploration" is just easter eggs. Halo Infinite couldn't even shove its equipment into the open world because you Halofags were too stupid to just explore and find it, so they shoved it in the linear levels.

>>715920293
what the fuck
