Do you think the original halo games will be a good experience for me since I didn't play them at an earlier stage in life?

Very few games have aged as gracefully as Bungie's Halo games, especially console first person shooters. Halo 1 is the jankiest, but it still controls great, and the franchise only gets more refined from there. I don't know if you've played other shooters of the era like Perfect Dark, Timesplitters, or EA's 007 games, but if you have, then Halo will be no problem.

What are some game franchises that you feel have yet to reach there true potential, despite the dev/publisher having already moved on?

Tomb Raider and Mass Effect immediately come to mind, the former more so than the latter, and I might just do a video on the franchise for that very reason. Now granted, Crystal Dynamics haven't really moved on, they might've made Marvel's Avengers, but not by choice, rather by demand of its publisher Square Enix along with Deus Ex developer Eidos Montreal.

That actually is another sub-series I think could make for an amazing sequel, from what I understand, Mankind Divided was a game that suffered from a chaotic development structure, so to have a company motivated to make a more complete experience, has tons of potential.

But if we're talking potential, than the game that comes to mind is Sleeping Dogs.

Sleeping Dogs is strange, it's a game I could criticize for hours listing off everything from combat design to story, and yet, I've beaten it twice and enjoyed it. United Front Games had something with so much room left to grow, and sadly, they had to close shop before that was possible.

With the release of cold war coming soon, how would you make cod more appealing to  fans of other shooters.

Add a Battle Royale mode.

Oh wait...

Honestly, at this point, I think Modern Warfare already added various things to expand Call of Duty's audience without compromising its gameplay, but perhaps I've just witnessed the series for so long, that I can't look at it from a fresh perspective anymore.

Rockstar bully __ years later? I know I have nostalgia goggles on for it. What about you?

Surprisingly not, it's one of those games I kept track of from its announcement, but never played from start to finish, perhaps that'll change one day, as its one of the few games Rockstar Vancouver got to produce themselves.
