Metroid Prime is fun but let's not kid ourselves, Halo always mogged it. Halo does a much better job of balancing action and exploration. Halo let's you engage combat scenarios differently every time and enemies aren't just "use missile to break their shell and then shoot them with normal laser". Enemies actually have personality and behave differently depending on what aliens are around them. When linear corridors get boring, Halo throws you into big outdoor battles while Metroid mianders with you scanning plants and bugs. The only thing I can think of that Metroid Prime does better is with its boss battles
Halo ruined FPS games. Dumbed down trash for retards.
Gaylo? More like HALOMOSEXUAL.
I've dropped Halo at the Library every fucking time I've tried to play it.
>>727693128yet, not a single fps came close to being as good as halo, all the halo killers are forgotten by now while people are still talking and playing halo today. A good rule of thumb is: Is there some schizo shitting on it constantly on /v/ 20 years after the game has been released? If yes, you can safely say that it was a good and influential game.
>>727693658It was influential in making FPS games for actual retards. There was a time, long before you were born, when every actual gamer would decry the two weapon limit and regenerating health.
>>727693813Yeah I played all the boomer shooters you're talking about, they're good too, but not everything has to be a doom clone, halo mechanics work for the type of game it is. The only reason you hate it is because it's a console game. I won't see you bitching about TF2's weapon limit.Also halo CE doesn't have regenerating health, just shields, but you didn't play it so you don't know.
>>727694030>halo mechanics work for the type of game it isA game for fuckin retards? I agree.>Also halo CE doesn't have regenerating health, just shieldsPointless splitting of hairs.
>>727693813Don't care. Not every FPS needs to be a doom or quake clone. In Halo if you want to use a different gun then you kill a guy and pick it up. The game doesn't just let you have a solution to every encounter all the time
>>727693128t. guy who always talks about arena shooters but never actually plays them
>>727694265Didn't they make a Quake reboot only for it to flop horribly because no one played it
>>727694183>Not every FPS needs to be a doom or quake clone.Yeah instead they should be baby games where you recover health by standing in place and traverse entirely linear levels.
>>727693128seethe
>>727694120Your only criticism is "it's for retards", just shows how you don't understand the game you're complaining about.If you could have all weapons all the time in halo, it would be completely unbalanced, you wouldn't be able to have super weapons or else everyone would just play with them, halo makes you switch weapons and improvise with whatever you have, the developers can control the pacing much better when they know what type of weapon you'll be using. And the regenerating shield in 1 is more like a failsafe to prevent players from having 1 health and getting soft locked, something that happens a lot in boomer shooters if you abuse quick saves. Also quick saves are in pretty much every boomer shooter, and they ruin the pace and challenge of them. The only boomer shooter with checkpoints is marathon (which was made by halo devs).So in conclusion: instead of ripping off every mechanic of the older popular games because that's the standard, you should think about how to make your own unique mechanics, and design the game around them. That's what halo did to stand out from boomer shooters, and that's what every halo clone failed to do, and now retards like you blame halo for the shitty games it spawned.I bet you also like to play DMC 3 with the style switcher mod like a fag.
>>727693018Exploration is hardly worth it in Halo. The levels are linear, so you'll hardly ever miss out on anything. Maybe a temporary powerup here or there and some ammo, but nothing major.
>>727694773>And the regenerating shield in 1 is more like a failsafe to prevent players from having 1 health and getting soft locked, something that happens a lot in boomer shootersOnly to literal retards, otherwise known as the Halo audience.>Also quick saves are in pretty much every boomer shooter, and they ruin the pace and challenge of them.That is entirely up to you. If you're an impulsive tard who can't help but save every two seconds, you deserve to be "softlocked" by your own retardation. Checkpoints are literally for people too dumb for self control.
>>727693658Are you kidding me? Half life was and still is better than halo. You can argue 2, and I’ll take it, but half life one is the standard for single player fps games.
No point in comparing these games, they aren’t even the same genre
What is going on with the halo metroid crossover threads lately
>>727695096again, your only criticism is "muh retards", there's no point in arguing with someone who refuses to think >that's all up to youwow, how dare I expect the game designers to design the difficulty of their games for me? They should also add a slider for bullet speed, weapon damage, health, etc, just make the game as difficult as you want bro!!for the record I beat both dooms, quake 1 and duke nukem on the highest difficulties without using save states, it made me appreciate the games much more, but it's a flaw that the majority of people will just abuse save states and have a worse experience, again, not a problem on marathon or halo. But if you want to go overboard and restart the whole mission everytime you die in halo that can be fun, add some skulls too, the game allows you to customize the difficulty while still have a standard balanced difficulty.
>>727695096>that is entirely up to you.lol here we go, mr 'i totally dont savescum'
>>727695225half life 1 is good but the enemy design in halo is much better, half life enemies just feel like whatever the devs thought would be cool at that point.
>>727695425Metroid Prime 4 is literally Nintendo's Halo 4
>>727695608>not a problem on marathon or haloBecause the games were designed with low IQs in mind. Linear hallway levels, infinite health, two weapons at a time. Dumbed down for even the lowest of humans.
>>727693128I just played Halo the other week. When's the last time you booted up Unreal '99, Mr. Bigtime Gamerman?
>>727695689In what way? Asking genuinely, because to me they fit in with the story, special ops dudes coming in to clean shit up, escalation of more powerful aliens showing up as the world becomes more and more fucked, but starting off with brain dead zombies and aliens. Idk man I don’t even dislike halo, I’m literally playing halo 2 rn and it’s still kino, but I love half life 1 so much. That shit is my favorite game of all time.
>>727693018
>>727695858That game specifically would be a few weeks ago, when testing various graphics cards in my Pentium 3 1GHz computer.
>>727695831I really don’t think Low IQs would enjoy the Marathon games
>>727693018Prime does exploration better, there is nothing interesting or new to find in Halo, just health kits and ammo. Both games are absolute masterpieces and timeless classics but they're completely different.
>>727695830that's more true than I'd like it to be on many levels
>>727695831NTABut Marathon has no weapon carry limit and is infamous for its non linear maze levels and cruel puzzles.
I always thought Halo and Metroid were weird to compare so heavily. Most of the Metroid games aren't even FPS and even the ones that are tend to be more exploration and figuring shit out then action shooty shooty like Halo. Also idk what anyone says Master Chief and Samus would never fuck but they would make a great team and get along well
