The campaign has some brilliant levels, not a duffer in there.

It's 30 dollars in my country. WTF Microsoft.
It's fine dude. That's just typical GAF exaggeration. The PS4 version probably runs a little better, but the Xbox version is fine lol.
Story isn't great. It's mostly setup for Halo 6.
Level design and gameplay is superb though so i really enjoyed the campaign despite the story.
I thought the Halo 5 campaign dull gameplay-wise* and kinda bad story-wise. Still need to replay in on higher difficulty but not hopeful about it. Co-op might elevate it (as it makes even Reach campaign bearable) but lack of split-screen is really disappointing (and my friend hasn't had time to download 50 GBs of updates to play with me).
*Halo 5's gameplay is solid but the campaign encounters etc. lack anything really special or memorable.
The Xbox Live offer, join for a 1€ or so doesn't seem to be working... because i have 14 day trial. What.
At least i get the XBLG price for games with it...

My thoughts really. Story struggles as they give you very little reason to invest in any of the characters but I really enjoyed the actual moment to moment gameplay and some of the locales are fantastic. Really loved everything on

I've played through the game on both X1 and PS4. Didn't really notice any difference while playing.

I bought Firewatch for $12
Is The Witness worth it for $27?

I think this is a tough one.
It's a very intriguing game, and I like they way they have made, what appears to be, ostensibly simple line puzzles into something new with each additional element, but....
The game feels like work, it'll make you feel stupid, but the buzz you get when you do finally solve a puzzle is very good.

I think it is. Loved it. Going to buy the whole season for my daughter this holiday, and I consider it a gift well worth giving.
it's totally fine on XB1.
Dailys usually hit about 9PM here in Holland (GMT+1) and end the day after the daily. So for instance todays daily for Dec 22 hits Dec 21 9PM and ends Dec 23 at about 11AM. So convert that to your region and you'll have your times.

No do not do that. Probably still will be revoked and you never know what happens.

Probably a good thing you can't make a thread of that. It'll only end in heartbreak.
Looking at this from google translate, this doesn't look like it's on the up and up. I'd probably steer clear to be honest.
edit:
Oh, good.

Might of worked. Asked I want to add the game. Got an error after clicking redeem. But, it said I already owned this after clicking redeem again.
My thoughts exactly. Very fun campaign with a shitty story. Though i like how it sets up halo6

Other people will tell you different, but personally I love the campaign. The level design is outstanding. To me, Halo has always been about the campaigns. I can tell you that Halo 5's replay value is up with the series' best. Look forward to awesome multitiered levels with a lot of hidden weapons, vehicles, and alternate routes. You'll notice this as early as Mission 2 if you look around.
I think you'll be surprised by how much the enhanced mechanics improve the feel of the game. They impact everything from gunplay to navigation in substantial ways, and yet the game still feels like Halo. I was really skeptical about the gimmicky-looking Spartan Abilities, but 343 absolutely nailed them. All of the little enhancements and mechanical additions form a seamless, intuitive toolset, with no obviously tacked-on features. Every new thing helps you move better or fight better, and it's not like it was in Reach where certain Armor Abilities just felt out of place. Halo 5 is really the first game since Halo 2 to substantially update the series' basic mechanics, but this time I honestly can't think of any drawbacks. Even crouch jumping is still in, and still useful. In terms of gameplay, this sequel took away nothing and added heaps of upgrades and polish.
The enemies are far, far less annoying than Halo 4's, and there are a lot more Covenant in this one too. And like I mentioned earlier, there's lot of effective weapons to deal with them. I should add that every weapon is super well balanced this time around. Not a single useless one in the mix. The Promethean weapons are redesigned but still very much worth picking up, because now they're especially effective against Promethean enemies. The new SMG (that little peashooter you could dual wield in Halo 2) is a beast that rivals the Saw.
The campaign's one big weakness is a series of recurring boss fights. These are annoying, but each and every encounter can be easily skipped or cheesed with strategies you can find on Youtube. They shouldn't really impact your experience beyond the first few attempts.
The story itself is somewhat weak, but at the same time it brings some of the extended fiction's most interesting characters and concepts to the fore in ways I never expected to see in a mainline Halo game. So if you're a lore fan, there's loads to appreciate there. Also, I hope you're prepared to meet the most charming monitor ever.

I am pretty sure they rebalanced these significantly as well. I recently replayed and it didn't seem as annoying. Admittedly, no more fun or engaging, but less of a drag.

Oh yeah, they recently patched them, didn't they? I should go back and see if I notice a difference.
Only Week 1 of Holiday deals plus daily deals.
Rare replay was $10 during Black Friday.
