Yes I know that but like, is it actually an FPS? or what?

  • 06.05.2004 12:53 AM PDT

I have to say Myth (first vote for Myth yet!), since I've been playing that non-stop since my exams finished on Wednesday. One thing though, I'd have included Oni in the poll as well, since that has a pretty neat story as well.

Why not Marathon? Well, partly I want to play Thoth and keep the balance by supporting the underdog (nobody votes Myth in these polls - all the votes go to Marathon, and if newcomers are voting to Halo as well), and Pathways (the other underdog in the poll) isn't really a separate story-line to Marathon, since it's in the same universe and all. Also, I'm a big fantasy fan as well, and Myth is really high quality fantasy, on the same order of Tolkien in my opinion (partly because Tolkien was a firkin huge influence on the Myth world - ever wondered why fir'bolg look so much like elves?). So, yep that's why I voted for Myth.

One question though, D Von. You said not to vote unless you've played all 4 games/series. I'm pretty sure you're a PC user, and I know you've played Marathon, but how can you have played PiD? Wouldn't that have disqualified you? I'm just curious is all.

Oh, and Solidsnake: Marathon is an FPS. Check out the Bungie History Page and the Games page for more info on the mentioned games.

I read the PiD.bungie.org page though, the entire thing. I woulda voted PiD and Myth, but you can only vote once. Oni did have a good storyline, but not as good. Anyways, as for the PiD-Marathon thing, It was late and I was tired/

  • 06.05.2004 9:32 AM PDT

Just because you don't think Oni has the best storyline doesn't mean you don't include it in the poll! That's the point of a poll, isn't it, for people to express what they think? Oh well. I wouldn't have voted Oni. Sticking with Myth. :)

I would vote Halo because it's better than the other two but I havn't played Marathon.
I can't find anywhere to buy it.

  • 06.05.2004 6:55 PM PDT

Try the Bungie Store. There's a link on the bottom thingy. Look for the Mac Action Sack under "games".

I would play it if I had some old commodore 64 kicking around, or something equally as crappy to run it. =p

I've only played small pieces of Marathon so I wouldn't know much about the storyline. But I must say, for a hardcore action game like Halo it's story was quite deep and interesting if you have read the books and examind the game carefully.

*Sighs*. I should've realised that people would vote Halo without playing, or reading the story pages of the other games.

...And Wantaskillet, sombody help you.

You must remember that most people here are only part of the Bungie Community because of Halo and Halo 2's massive popularity.

Yeah, I think they only place where you could get "scientific" results with this poll would be in the Septagon, as most of the older folks hang out there. Two bad we don't have a forum dedicated to old school bungie discussions......
Hay, now there’s a thought! maybe I'll bring it up in the Septagon.
