Big Surprise! I cannot let this post go unanswered....
Why is the first the best? In my opinion, 1 simple reason: none of the other items added anything new that was cooler or more enjoyable than what the original had to offer. If you cannot make item 2, 3, 4 or 5 better than item 1 was, then item 1 is the best. For my money, my time and my efforts, CE simply is the best of what they have done, and I am incredibly grateful that they did it.
That is not to say there are not aspects of everything that has followed that have not had merit, far from it. But comparing, as a whole, CE to H2, H3, ODST etc., can you actually say that there is anything about the others that stands up on its own, makes the game worth being the best of the series?
I am 47, have been playing CE and 2 for 7 years now and I have never gotten bored with how many different ways I can explore CE. It is the same game, playable in so many different ways. That is much less the case for H2, H3 and the others.
Case closed, the jury is excused.........
