Anyone else disappointed of Molyneux for choosing Halo?

it's safe & politically correct with the MScentric media. Besides it's just his opinion it doesn't mean that it's absolute.

I think the clear game of the ((decade)) was KILLZONE 2 for so many reasons.

Mac is OK5228d ago

Personally I would choose Metal Gear Solid 4, also loved Super Mario Galaxy and GTA IV.

Maddens Raiders5228d ago (Edited 5228d ago )

all great games, but you can only pick one. Don't be too quick to forget e3'05 which was right in the middle of the decade. The fever pitch hype and speculation that ensued after the trailer, ending with the incredible, overdelivery of a product that doesn't have a single peer on the console level to this day, save UC2 (but I still give a graphical nod to KZ2 here as well). Now that's one hell of a game.

nothing was the same after this.... the ending still gives me a chill..

Maddens Raiders5228d ago (Edited 5227d ago )

i actually remember people back then commenting that, this was more like fmv, and that you wouldn't see graphics like this for another 8-10 years on consoles..lol they commented on how there was no way that animations and cutscenes could look like that...the hate and concern this game caused for 4 years were of epic proportions. i just had to get that out there for those that may have forgotten. Killzone 2 was a movement.

edit: snickering at the stealth disagree from moneybuyseverything lol

RadientFlux5228d ago

Overall I would have to go with Half-Life 2 though with so many great games released in the past 10 years. It's hard to choose a favorite.

Also I don't see why it would be disappointing that someone would choose Halo. As the game changed how FPS played on the consoles, for the better if I might add.

I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now

Furesis13d ago

I would say it does. The combat is a bit shit for todays standards but everything else is great.

anast13d ago

It's worth a play through today.

the first one is abit the odd one out but after u finished it, believe it it gets tremendously better and better

I can't fk with this list. They missed on alot of games probably before the writers times. Also I know people loved some portal but I was never a fan.

King of Fighters 94

Infinite but not the first two games? Witcher 3 but not the first two games?? GTA V but not literally any of the games before it??? Portal 2 but not the first? Also if you're going to play Shadow of The Colossus play the remaster and not the remake. Can't say I disagree with the list but my man it's all over the place.

Name Last Name56d ago

I mean some sequels are objectively better and you don’t need to play the whole series.

Inverno56d ago

But most of these games have a story to follow, sure you can catch up with a YouTube vid but where's the fun in that?

LucasRuinedChildhood56d ago (Edited 56d ago )

A list like this isn't telling you not to play the previous games if you want to. It's just giving you legendary games to play.

But tbh, you don't always have to force yourself to play every entry in a franchise to get to the better ones.

- The vast majority of Witcher 3 players never played the first 2 and had a great time. The first 2 games aren't in the same league.
- The GTA games are self-contained with the odd fun reference. You can easily jump into any of them.
- The Shadow Of The Colossus remake looks and controls better than the original (plus it has a 60fps option while the remaster is just 30fps). New players will enjoy it more.
- Portal 2 is a lot better than Portal 1 and takes the concept much further gameplay-wise. Storywise, Portal 1 is fairly light too. Not that you shouldn't play it but realistically ... you'd love Portal 2 whether you play it or not (at lot of Portal 2 players have never played 1).

Bioshock 1 is the only one I agree with you on simply because it's one the best games of all time and arguably better than Infinite. No other setting like Rapture.

Looking at the list, I'd recommend playing Uncharted 1 before 2 but no doubt, 2 is the legendary one you have to play.

Inverno56d ago

I get it, but that's just my opinion on his opinion. I just think that before you play a sequel you should still play what came before it. Maybe it's just me but i find it fascinating playing through the first game in a series and seeing how it has evolved through its sequels. Like I said I don't disagree with the list, other than SoTC which I strongly believe the remaster of the original should be played above the remake.

AuraAbjure56d ago

Awesome list! Hot take on Fear (and it's hard af expansion Persaus Mandate!) Bioshock Infinite is stellar, so is the Witcher 3 and you nailed it by having Ocarina of Time. So many fantastic games! Gotta play 'em all! Next one on my list is Prey after I beat Dead Space 2 and Splinter Cell Conviction.
