Halo or Metroid?

Yes,one of those those threads.

Which franchise do you prefer,and why?

I'll go with Metroid for gameplay and atmosphere.

But Halo has a better story.

What? This is like asking God of War or Prince of Persia.

But Metroid

Halo for me.

I haven't really loved a Metroid game since Super Metroid.

Metroid b/c is has a better story and doesn't have annoying 12 yearolds plus samus would kill master chief's ass

I've never understood why people were comparing these two series. They have nothing in common...

1. Halo is just a basic FPS, that only got attention because it was one of the first console FPS to achieve minimal quality standards..

2. Metroid is an amazing mixture of exploration, platforming, puzzles, great atmosphere, with some neat boss fights thrown in. The game has absolutely no equivalent, anywhere.

Exaggeration?

They aren't comparable they aren't in the same genre.

But I would say Metroid for everything except Multiplayer (I have yet to play Hunters but I didn't like Echoes Multiplayer)

Actually I haven't played a lot of Metroid games only Zero Mission, Metroid Prime, Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, and Metroid Prime 3: Corruption.

But I didn't play every Halo either I stopped after Halo 3.

what the vid lol

metroid if you can buy the trilogy on wii.If you cant find the collection on ebay then get resistance 3 on ps3 instead.

halo is a casual game.

Well, I guess they are the same since they are in space and have a protagonist in a suit (both of which don't looks terribly different from each other).

What year is it?

Exaggeration?

Well, not really.. When you're used to PC standards, Halo is really mediocre as a FPS.. Whereas Metroid Prime has no equivalent, on PC or console.

Super Metroid is fun.

One is a First Person Shooter. The other are side scrolling action adventures or first person action adventures.

Apples an oranges here.

Now the question is, what story? I'm a huge fan of the series and I own every game from Metroid NES to Prime series on GC in their original form but one thing they all lack is story just like every other franchise coming from Nintendo. Other M was the first one to have a story but they had to ruin it with ridiculous plot devices....

Metroid or Hot Pockets Go!

I'm gonna have to go with Hot Pockets. Anything that cooks in under 3 minutes cannot be beat by a chick with a gun sorry Samus.

also the prime series let you scan items to collect info to piece together a story.

Not really similar but Metroid.

Metroid.

I am a huge fan of both franchises and I have played just about every game in both series but it is a waste of time comparing both franchises. They have very minimal comparisons.

Metroid because Phendrana Drifts.

I've enjoyed almost every title to carry the Metroid name. I slightly enjoyed Halo CE and loved Halo 2 online.

Definitely going with Metroid though. Super Metroid along with the Prime trilogy are some of the best experiences in gaming.

Halo

not even a debate

and the 12 year olds comment.....

don't hate you don't got mics to hear your kidtendo fans lol

Not really similair but Halo dominates Metroid

Halo - I find the franchise more enjoyable. istreakforfood

Lol wow. Fanboys will be fanboys I suppose. Metroid is so much more enjoyable for me, though. This coming from an ex-Halo fan, an avid one at that.

Halo.

I've never even completed a Metroid game, but I own and have completed every Halo game.

Reminds me of 2004... when FPS fans would argue over whether Halo 2 or Metroid Prime 2 is the better game.

You said Metroid is way more enjoyable for you? And I said Halo dominates Metroid?

What's the big difference here?
