OP, just so you know, The Order 1886 has a better story than Halo 5.

..and The Order has 5 hour singleplayer story with zero replay value. Halo 5 will keep you playing for potentially 100's of hours or at least 20-30 if you just rush few and play a bit of online.

 

That is where we differ. I prefer a great story versus 30hrs of bleh.

Even Twlight has a better story. Most teenage girls would agree.

Fixed that for you :)

Halo 5 story was so bad, it made twilight look good.

I even forgot to include myself... I kinda liked Twilight until those last two movies.. my wife made me watch them ffs! Oh felt good to get that off my chest.



There are strength points and weaknesses for every game that I can think of. Things that could have been better. But to each his own. Things that I consider bad does not necessary matter to others. To each his own. Surely we can all agree on that and move on :)

But can we agree on this: Team Edward or Team Jacob?

This is a Twilight thread, right? :)



Look, before this gets out of hand, let me just say I'm not going to reply to anymore Halo 5 Vs Twilight story dispute. I think most will come to the conclusion that they're both bad.

Differ? I perfer 5 hours story over many hours of gameplay anyday but the problem is the order had 4 and half hours of lackluster then 30 minutes of great story then ended as the story basically began. From a value standpoint Halo 5 beats it handsdown.



I say wait until the end of the year to get the slim model. It will most likely come with a good bundle of games.

That's what I'm going to do anyway.

EDIT: You may as well be on the looking for good deals for an XBox Live membership, and if you get it, start building your games library now.

Even calling that 5 hour romp a "story" is being quite generous. By the time anything remotely interesting begins to maybe start happening, the game abruptly ends. And Halo 5 ends abruptly, but it should, it's game one of a trilogy. We probably won't ever see what other cool creatures we can QTE to death in The Order's story.
