| placidcasual said: MGS4 was an event in video gaming history. Halo 3 was just a game. In fairness MGS4 had the advantage of having the greater series behind it. |
Have to disagree with this statement, and I notice from a lot of MGS fans when they say "if you don't think MGS series is the best, you are a fanboy."
Don't get me wrong, MGS series is an excellent series, I definitely think it is not the greatest series out there, and think many trump it imo of course.
That said, it's really hard to say. In terms of greatest games, MGS4 is probably the best for it's system arguably, while Halo 3 many say is surpassed by Gears of War (although I have to disagree).
In terms of reviews, their tied (in terms of both Metacritic and Gamerankings), in terms of sales, Halo 3 wins,although there are more 360 owners out there, but I calculated, according to this site, about 31% of 360 users own Halo 3 while around 17% of the PS3 install base own MGS4, so you could say Halo 3 is the games that has a more dedicated fanbase.
Personally, I found Halo 3 to be better, but MGS4 is still an awesome game :D.
