I could say i think its hilarious you think half life was ground breaking but deus ex wasn't, but its your oppinion, and i respect that. I came on here to post my oppinion, not be a little bitch and mock someone because they don't agree a games ground breaking while another one is, etc. Saying i haven't played half life or that i'm just a huge fanboy of deus ex was a rather childish thing to say, but its the internet, what can i expect. I have played half life, and deus ex, i'm not a fan boy, i like deus ex more. Anyways, deus ex and half life both won a shitload of achievements, so i'd like to see you go ask "anyone informed at any of the game magazines."
In the end i don't need an informed person from a game magazine to decide which game is good or not for me. I have a brain that decides for me |
Which you like better is a matter of opinion. Which was more revolutionary is not. You were saying that Half Life really didn't do anything special or anything new, which is not true - and that has nothing to do with opinions. I could say that "Captain Commando was a more revolutionary game than Super Mario Brothers," but I'd be wrong.
It is your right to prefer Deus Ex to Half Life. I prefer Half Life 2 to Half Life 1 and Chris prefers Half Life 1 to Half Life 2. That's an opinionated thing. I prefer the Silent Hill series to the Resident Evil series, but if we're talking about which was/is more revolutionary and influential, the Resident Evil series would win there.
I did find it funny that you were inferring that Deus Ex was more revolutionary than Half Life simply because you like Deus Ex and don't like Half Life. That's ignoring the facts. Obviously no gaming magazines are going to argue about whether Korbain prefers Half Life or Deus Ex or which he SHOULD prefer. In fact, they're not going to argue about anything because there's no question about which game was revolutionary. As for fun and enjoyment, I like both Half Life 1 and Deus Ex, and they both won quite a few awards.
