I need you MEMBERS to SHARE your opinions of a important matter.

Listen, I just want to settle this topic once and for all, because me and Dragon are going to flame each other if this continues.

Think of it like this, of you could only play one game in ether of these series, which one would it be.

[Acmex]

Are you quite serious?

I would play neither, buying games is a waste of money. Get free & opensource ones instead.

Also, Half-Life (matter) is pretty cool.

But Half-Life(Game-Series) Is distrubited by Valve, which effectively prevents me from choosing that one.

Therefore, I absantain.

Yes, I just wormed my way out of this because I've never played either.

Considering I just got unbanned from spamming... yes quite.

Half Life is better because it's not full of whiny characters. There is a man, The One Free Man, and he has a crowbar and a zero-point energy manipulating device thing. His goal is to relinquish all peoples, human and alien, from the entrappings of those who wish to rule. Whether it be Nihilanth, the Combine overworld, or something greater, he will stop them.

It also doesn't have characters that have names with stupid pronunciations, or swords that are taller than those who wield them. Both have BAWWWing over the death of a character though, so that can't be used as a comparison. Also:

I guess half-life, because, I'm sorry to all of you fantasy people for what I am about to say, I just think fantasy needs to remain...well...in fantasy...except for Lord of the Rings, dragons and medieval literature (which isn't really fantasy, just old history) which are really the only properties fantasy I ever liked.

Pros:

HL: pwnful gameplay and epic storyline

FF: eye sex graphics in recent games, decent gameplay

Cons:

HL: Valve

FF: So effing many of them. They don't know when to quit.

Preferred choice: Half Life

Are you serious? Free and open-source over commercial games... I think NOT!

When any non-commercial company starts producing commercial grade games for free, let me know.

Yes, other then Vortigaunt, you can pronounce all the words. And there is only ONE BAWWWing over death, I think. And besides that, google "Best Games if the Decade" Half Life 2 is usually in the top ten.

[Zephyria]

Final fantasy Came out over 20 years ago, and has endured a huge fan-base To this DAY!...Can half-life say its been around for Over two Decades?

[theextractor]

It's hard to compare these games since they're almost completely different.

FF has a ton of games, but HL has a massive modding community, so both have proven the longevity of their series.

For instance, i bought this game one time because it was cheap, got good ratings on gamespot, and it looked kind of funny. It turned out to be one of the crappiest games i've ever played.

The moral of the story is: Just because i hated the crap out of that game, obviously some guy on gamespot thought it was sweet. Different games for different people.

I concur!

Cyrem, I can think of one "Non-Commercial" company that makes "Commercial Quality" game.

DwarfFortress is far more detailed than ANYTHING you can get off the shelf.

Graphics are for n00bs.

ASCII(or tileset) FTW

No, but does Final Fantasy have a MODDING fan base? I think not.

[INB681]

Battle for Wesnoth is good enough to be worth money, and doesn't have a steep learning curve.

But yeah, seriously, anyone that has studied SOME physics on mass and forces should know that those swords are way too long to be able to wield them.

But I haven't played Half-Life (crap the border of the jungle since there are no modern games around), so I'm not voting.

This.

Also, I choose Half Life because I love FPS games.

D. BA > OTA

SPRING IS AN ENGINE, NOT A GAME [/shortrant]

[Acmex]

Actually, with the choices provided, It would be A (Alpha)

Spring is nothing compared to OTA. Spring is nothing in itself.

BA, on the other hand...

E (Echo) BA >= OTA

This. There is no other game that lets you beat your goblin prisoners to within an inch of their life, then proceed to drop cats on them from ten stories up, and THEN drown them in a river. Of magma.

[DeactivatedAccount]

Half-life wins. Nuff said
