Because fighting games are boring as hell to me online and offline.  If you don't want my opinion on why I prefer resistance then ask the OP to make a like with like comparison.  It's unfair giving a game like Metroid a comparison with a game that gives me so much more value for my buck and fun. 


You want something over somethingis fine but you as do i have no right to judge this (and some others).

Your basically saying Every Muliplayer > Every Single player game, which we both know isnt true. How would you know Metroid doesn't give you more value for a buck than Resistance if you never played it?

Talking about Value, Metroid Prime Trilogy for $20 on eShop is a ridiculous great offer. It includes one of the most critically praised games of all time with 2 absolutely great sequels in it. 

All im saying is you cant say something off of biased, as why i haven't said Metroid > Resistance because i would be basically saying im biased...


Maybe it will but I doubt I'll get as many hours from a single player only game.  But that's not my point.  My point is no other game ever gave me such fun with an 8 player online co-op. And the 40 and 60 player oonline battles were a blast at the time.  It's unfair to compare these games but if I had to pick one I'd pick resistance for the sake of way more hours of fun online with my buddies.

There are loads of better online fps, but there's only one franchise like Metroid... And that is Metroid.

Yeah, there's a whole genre named after Metroid(Metroidvania) but those are all 2D games. 

And how can you pick without having at least played one of the games lol?

So why is it being compared to resistance which is different?  

 

What games are there that have a good 8 player coop,  plus over 50 player battles and is a shooter?

Metroid is better as it should be after so many entries. Resistance has had 3. Metroid has had what? 7 at least right? So that's over twice as many chances thus the number of good games in the series (which is how I judge normally) is going to be higher. Resistance 3 is my favorite FPS ever though

Twice as many chances that the games can be bad. ;)

There have been 11 Metroid games, which includes a pinball game and a remake (the best one ever!).

Resistance had 5 games and is basically dead already.

I don't care if there's 100 bad games.  Let me make this clear.  If one series has 100 releases and 5 of them are good, and another has 3 releases and 3 of them are good.  I think the first series is better.  Bad ones don't detract from the greatness of the series as I'll just ignore them.


Cod is better than both of them then.

Planetside 2 must be the best FPS ever according to your criteria (actually it is the most fun multiplayer FPS for me. :) )

I only liked 2 and 4 in COD though

Does it have 8 player coop missions? And for the battles obviously planetside would beat theM. Just highlights how weird this comparison is comparing a really good yet limited game against much more expensive options.

Metroid is the better series.

There's really no contest here.

It has unliminated player coop. I assume you would remain consistent and also think FFXIV will be a better game than FFXV, as well, right? It isn't as limited as FFXV is. You can play forever, and with hundreds of people. In fact, Runescape is a better RPG than FFXV! It is free and I can play that game forever. It doesn't matter what the content of the game is, as long as it lets you do as much as you want for as long as you want!!!
