Yes, because Halo was Bungie's only landmark series. Google "Myth" and "Marathon" some time and get back to me. And next time you're playing an FPS game and use dual wield, mouse look, or regenerating health, you can go ahead and thank Bungie for first implementing those features in an FPS. |
Ah yes the great games that no one had ever heard of until after Halo came out and all the Halo fanboys decided to be Bungie fanboys as well and search any game they had ever done and glorify it to the extreme. Yea that BS gets by some people but not me.
Just out of the blue they might have been great games(and yes I made my comments above knowing they existed), but apparently they weren't huge otherwise they'd be mentioned everytime we talk about great games. Fact of the matter is they were either good and innovative games made by a small studio that no one cared about. How can you define them as good seeing that. True great games at least make some list over time. Yet however when hearing great FPS's you hear Doom, Goldeneye 007, Quake, ect. Not Marathon.
In their own right I'm sure they were good games. Yet they weren't good enough to be put on the same level as Halo was. So until you can prove otherwise that they made a cultural phenomenon of a game other than Halo myh point stands. Otherwise all I hear is fanboys glorifty games either to be better than they actually were or more influential than they actually were when in the time they were overlooked.
