Metroid has far better singleplayer and gameplay, it isn't about multiplayer. Halo is just point and shoot. Linear and repetitive. The original Halo was one of the first really good multiplayer FPS for consoles, and that's imo why it's so famous today. But nowdays, there are so many fps on consoles that it doesn't really stand out anymore, except by the popularity of its brand. The latest Halo games are good games, but they're games in an oversaterated genre. 

Metroid isn't about a heavy story, Metroid: Other M showed us why. It's about exploration, puzzlesolving, boss fights, gradually getting more powerful. It doesn't force the story upon you, you have to look for it yourself through scanlogs. 

There aren't many games like the Metroid Prime trilogy. There are many games like Halo. And that is why Metroid Prime will always be better than Halo. 

 

In your opinion of course. Critically and commercially it doesn't touch Halo. There are many games like halo because the first was so good and people thought that formula would bring them success so copied elements Id also say add that it is about multiplayer, something which retro studios couldn't get their heads around which was evident when metroid 2 was released. In comparison Halo 2 is known for its great and addictive multiplayer. Your original point was that retro studios could do a better job with 20 million but they couldn't make a good multiplayer mode back then, why could they now? Could they even create a shared online world without heavily hiring talent the talent for it?

I must have imagined the part when i was hijacking banshees and flying them or getting in my warthog or scorpion and fighting scarabs. Must have imagined the vast array of different enemies with different behaviour patterns and weakspots and all the different weapons such as the sword, sniper and battle rifle. It's just ignorant to view halo as a point and shoot game that is linear and repetitive.

Just because it sells better doesn't make it better. MP2's multiplayer was just an afterthought, if you honestly think Retro gave it a serious try you're deluding yourself. Metroid has always been about the singleplayer. And I'm glad, I hate online FPS.

And all Metroid Prime games are above 90% on Metacritic... Plus I'm sure Microsoft bought a lot of positive reviews to get high scores, we know Microsoft does this. So not really sure what you're talking about when you say it doesn't touch Halo lol.

Well your opinion is your own. All i'm saying is that critically and commerically it has been received better, doesn't matter if microsoft bought reviews because the trilogy got more game of the year awards than the metroid trilogy. The first metroid is a masterpiece, two and three aren't quite at those levels but are really good, while the entire halo trilogy stayed at a very high level throughout. Sure you could argue that single player and storywise metroid edges it but halo is the overall better product and that shouldn't be a debate.

Just because it's multiplayer doesn't make it better by default. ;) 

If Halo wasn't an exclusive, it wouldn't get half the attention it's getting. And Like I said, all Metroid Prime games have a 90%+ rating.

Metroid would probably sell better if it wasn't exclusive. :p 

Is Halo the better multiplayer game? Obviously. Is Metroid the better singleplayer game? I say yes, and by a longshot. So if you prefer multiplayer go with Halo. If you actually like to use your brain during a game, go for Metroid. ;) I think Metroid Prime 2 was the best by the way, people just whined because it was too hard for them. 

Those couple difference in percentage don't mean Halo is better. Metacritic isn't exact science. Besides, there have been quite a few average Halo games (not the main ones), that brings the franchise down a lot. Metroid only has one bad apple. 

And what about Halo's user scores on Metacritic? :) Clearly a lot of people don't agree with the so called "professional" reviewers.

Bungie should just make Oni 2. Haven't liked one game of theirs since Oni and this seems to be going the same way.

 

And the play should stop reloading every second ffs.

That annoys me greatly in any shooter... of course if you can upgrade your weapon/extended magazines thats all fine, but yeah when ever i see it, it annoys me.



Making an indie game : Dead of Day!

I thought the clip size in the video was only 13. Could explain the constant reloading.

and lol @ using your brain to play the Metroid FPS's.

This may be the game that gets me to make that jump to the next gen.
