They should choose game properties that lend itself better to a story driven form.

A great video game doesn't necessarily mean it translates to a great TV/movie, and vice versa. Even though Halo was a "bad" adaptation it was never a property that should have been adapted in the first place. It's nominally a first person shooter where the protagonist is meant to be faceless so the player can imagine themselves in his shoes. Cut scenes aren't as frequent as in TLOU and many of the game's excitement is made up of your progress in the game's areas. It's a great game. But that's not a good property to adapt.
