Lol I know itā€™s much bigger in terms of sales and player base but I was also factoring in history as well. TES today is the bigger IP without a doubt.

What about Halo Wars though? Way less console-oriented RTS series than WRPGs.

Iā€™ve been thinking about bias for a minute. On a PS focused forum Killzone would smash Halo which is just criminal. So if TES loses by less than 20% itā€™s kind of a win in a way once you take away the bias. :thinking: I always thought Forza and maybe Gears was the biggest new console sellers to newer players too and would have loved to of seen Gears battling out against Fallout personally. :man_shrugging: Canā€™t win them all lol

Should do zelda vs xbox winner.

You have a vested interest in it :fire:

Hahaha. I do. It was my 2021 game of the year so I want it to win. And in general, it should win. Never played a single TES game even though I will tryout TES VI when the time comes.

Oh, it will. But as more new players eventually come to Xbox, the inevitable decline of Halo vs other franchises will be apparent. :smirk:

Agreed.

Nothing declines Halo more than Halo itself :joy:

Time to grab a seat and a hot chocolate, I have a story to tell.

When Xbox first came out I absolutely loved the crazy new controls for Racing Games! Then I tried the new FPS with weird controls at the time(Halo) and I absolutely hated it and stuck with PlayStation for RPGs. The reason in hindsight was because of analogue pads as I was so used to dpad.

So original Xbox was way down on my list which was I believe PS1 60% of games, GameCube 30% and Xbox 10%. I then got a 360 and that really changed my view on Xbox. I finally understood the controller change properly and they had more adventure games. I didnā€™t even bother trying Halo.

Xbox One came out and I tried Halo MCC and fell in love with Halo somewhat. 1+2 were brilliant. 4+5 were ok. I then tried Gears Of War. WOAH MUMMA. Now that felt like a revolution in FPS personally. Played Infinite and it felt like it should have been on MCC. Itā€™s not even in the top 5 for me and thatā€™s crazy.

So I donā€™t have Nostalgia vision if that makes sense as I played them all at a very similar timeframe. I want to talk about Gears again quick. I loved 1+2, 3+judgement not as much. Gears 4 started to make me excited for it again and 5 was up there with 1+2 personally. I loved the design and story. Multiplayer was fun too but definitely needs some refreshed game modes.

You all know the drill.

12 more hours.

Wow itā€™s so close

Tick Tock - TES enjoyersā„¢ Itā€™s incredibly close but Halo might just beat the masterpiece series. :billed_cap:

All it takes is one more vote for TES or if you changed your mind on your vote you can click show votes and change your vote. :thinking::smirk:

Stop the count!

Glad to see TES gave Halo a run for its money! But Halo seems to be Xbox Eraā€™s Pelinal and itā€™s not going to lose to anyone.

easy for me
