I've just realized how similar the two franchise's are to each other! Not in turns of philosophy and what not but just the games and how they are received. Halo Ce and MGS 1 were both received well and regarded highly by their respective community's. Halo 2 and MGS 2: SoL were both hated on (Halo 2 for the ending and MGS 2 for Raiden) for a few years before being regarded as some of the best in their series. Halo 3 and MGS 3: SE are both regarded as each series prime and the best entry's. Halo 4 and MGS 4: GoTP are both hated on for alienating their audiences. (MGS 4 had Long cutscenes and was more combat focused) (Halo 4 was hated on for its lazy "Spartan Ops" and CoD like multiplayer) Halo 5 Guardians and MGS V: TPP are both hated on heavily by their veteran fans but are defended heavily by newcomers. <---(VERY GENERALIZED) What do you guys think?
