I don't think this is an Xbox fan thing..more a halo fan thing. Because I've never seen any sides of the console war throw an entire studios hard work/franchise under the bus because of some review scoresIt appears as though Xbox fans still believe Xbox gets unfair treatment on Neogaf, good stuff
Holy shit this is amazing! Ahahahah
Damn straight, friend.
Especially props on the Dying Light. Probably the most shockingly unfair spree of criticism I have ever seen. That is such an incredible fun game, and even it if wasn't fun, it's solid as fuck. Few/no technical issues, great simulation, big world, loads of content...
74?!
Me too.
Hahaha this was perfectI wonder what's changed since the morn-
You got Halo 4's campaign right (ish) but mp was a misstep
Now Halo 5's campaign is a misstep but you fundamentally got the mp right apparently, which is great and you should recognise the enormity of the feat.
With Halo 6, make sure you smash the overall package out of the park. Well done for your efforts though. (although i haven't played it yet and could think its shite haha, which I doubt I will).
No, just no. What people seem to not realise (due to the clusterfuck that is this thread), is that the campaign does not suck, is not a misstep, and is not even in the same universe of mediocrity that the halo 4 campaign was. There are a shitload of reviews that mirror my feelings about this too (probably as many as there are saying otherwise) I'm not saying everyone will agree with me, but do yourselves a favour and go in with an open mind. You might otherwise be robbing yourselves of one of the better campaigns in the series. Honestly.
edit: Nope. You can't change weapons in this level. And I took two new screenshots. When you look slightly down (which you'll be doing to find data pads), the view is this:just switch over to pistol

I think it can definitely happen. They've made a major change in going from Amy Hennig to Neil Druckmann. UC relies so heavily on its story that I can definitely see this one getting a lower score if Druckmann mucks it up.
I cant wait for The Last Guardian review thread. It shall be the best ever.
This is why I hate talking about game length- it's really subjective, includes factors like style of play, sprint, vehicles and of course difficulty level.
My "rush" time on heroic solo is about 9 hours, which includes "explore attractive nuisance spots to see what's there" but zero, "explore every nook and cranny looking for skulls "
Basically if I saw a waterfall or a breakable wall, I'd check it out if I wasn't in a firefight- often looking for weapons or ammo.
My proper explore run is still ongoing but I might switch to legendary coop (retail) before continuing that.
I'm just saying, because there is a pistol icon lolI'm pretty sure you can't in the Sanghelios level, but it's entirely possible I was too stupid to try.
BRB, testing.
I'm still struggling to believe it...

Oh dear God! I can't even imagine.I cant wait for The Last Guardian review thread. It shall be the best ever.

You and me both, brah. The story shouldn't rely so much on the expanded universe. They should be more like Star Wars that also has expanded universe but the movies tell their own independent story. I hate this about Halo. The story has gotten worse and more difficult to comprehend as the games go by. By the time ODST, Reach, Wars and shit started happening I gave up.
If someone has never played halo before, normal is a perfectly good way to play and learn it.
If they've played a lot of halo they either know heroic is more fun and challenging and they'll choose it or...
If they choose to play on normal anyway, maybe they want to play at a more relaxed pace, or maybe they want to rush through it and get to the MP or their next game.
A reviewer is a professional who's likely to know all of the above and welcome to play any way they wish.
Legendary is hard and not recommended for a beginner and actually gets tougher when four real players do it in co-op.
There's nothing controversial about any of those approaches and playing normal isn't some badge of shame.
If somebody rushes through it in easy mode, I'd hope they'd caveat that in their review, but it's not rendered null and void by that fact. Opinions are usually genuine. That's their experience and that's how they personally felt.
Nothing wrong with that.
If Halo 5 drops below MCC and at least isnt around the level of Halo 4 this is a very very bad thing.
Its one thing if it is around the same or a bit over Halo 4, and its possible given the embargo just lifted. At the same time in ne day it is already at 85, something even Halo MCC was not at.
If below Halo MCC the downward spiral for Halo continues.
Marry me. Fantastic game.
Don't.
I wonder what's changed since the morn-
The pettiness, simply terrific!I cant wait for The Last Guardian review thread. It shall be the best ever.
If normal is the 'easy mode' why not call it easy instead of you know, normal?
Normal should always be the default 'meant to be played' setting, if heroic is than your normal is too easy.
We have lot's of great review threads to look forward:
-Tomb Raider
-Street Fighter V
-Uncharted 4 (I think this will be a instant classic)
-Quantum Break
-The Last Guardian
-Gran Turismo 7
-Next Forza Motorsport (If it launches after GT7)
An 85 on Metacritic?!!! smh
That's pretty much a death sentence for a AAA game like this. Yikes, 7 points lower than Witcher 3, and 8 points lower than Metal Gear Solid 5.
This was the only game even slightly tempting me to get an Xbox One, now I can give Halo 5 a hard pass. The series ended with Halo 3 & Reach imo.

Destiny got a similar score and its doing fine isn't it?
