The same for me. The halo collection is  massive, and the serie sold a lot more than TLOU, so we can say it's a better deal... but basically, I don't care about or like Halo, and I don't even own a XOne ! I think that's quite a point for the XOne fans that try to show that "we have better games, better deals". If you are in Europe, the console is a flop, you don't own it, and the major licenses are not really that big, so I think for lot of people it doesn't really change a thing.

There's a lot of halo fans that the same could be said for about TLOU, they may not like it, and live halo, so it's a much better deal, and packed with the games they love. It's a point for ps4 fans that say "we have a better game, because it's received 200 game of the year awards, and that makes it a better deal!".... See how rediculous that is? Obviously both games will appeal to fans of their respective sytem, and games. No need to downplay either game, but, having said that, halo is much much bigger than TLOU. Don't jump on me either, I'm a huge fan of TLOU, and think it deserves sales in the 10-15 million range. I never honestly cared for halo, but there is no doubt of that series impact, that of which if far larger than TLOU will ever be.

Quite simply, no one LIVES The Last of Us. There's fans. Passionate fans. Of both the game and studio. It's a great game. I may even rebuy it if time and cash allow for it this summer.

But some of us have LIVED Halo for the last decade. With the exception of the last couple months when I've finally pretty much gone next-gen only, I've played Halo at least weekly for a decade straight. I went four years where but for a handful of times, my friends and I played Halo 2 or 3 every Friday night for several (often drunken) hours. I've played tens of thousands of competitive matches.

This is the ultimate fan service I've ever seen for a gaming franchise. Ever. All 100+ maps in all 4 engines on one disc, all up-rezzed to play on a current system?

When Nintendo puts out 4 or 5 Zelda games or Mario games, up through the most current one, I'll listen to the argument. Until then, nothing has ever come close to this package - - the biggest franchise on platform that they could easily milk nickels and dimes out of people over years and years by selling it yearly or every other year between mainline Halo games. And you get it all, plus a Halo mini-series, plus 3 weeks of H5 beta access (that many of use would pay $60 for alone - see Crackdown and Halo 3), for $60?

I don't even see the argument for TLOU, because there isn't one. It's not even close.

In fact, that's what I wanted to say first. There is a factual value for the package I agree about (4 games, remaster of older games, series' value, that's great), but overall, it's still a feeling about the game. Like you said, if you like more Halo, if you don't like TLOU, the Halo collection has just more value. I really loved TLOU myself, but I don't really care about doing it again for better graphics and framerate, so I'm not even saying it's a great deal.

About the second point, what I mean is that it's not just about having value for a game "see, we have great games, greater games". It's also about having a broad public to play it, which means a good launch, PR, buzz, etc., and it's also about the game impact. Overall, the Halo serie had a lot greater impact, and the serie is a lot bigger, but for example in Europe, it's not a so big serie, and with flat sales of XOne, on average, it's not the best deal for most people. In Japan, I mean, the console is not even for sale, and nobody knows Halo (I'm not sure TLOU would do better anyway).

I never liked Halo, not a FPS fan.
I really disliked TLoU, i just cannot jump on the bandwagon... Quit the game about 1/3 in.

Therefore, neither of them get my money.

But in general, Halo wins by a landslide, it is a significantly better deal.

Also, these games are being released for different reasons:
- Halo as a service to fans and as a thank you for continuing XBox support. Giving the veteran Halo players an opportunity to experience all their familiar maps in one place.
- TLoU as a method to entice new converts to PS4 to play the game, the ones that didn't own a PS3 last-gen.
