| RuRo said: I should be getting my Xbox One Sunset Overdrive bundle delivered today... I'll be completely honest, it was the Sunset Overdrive reveal at E3 that originally made me think of getting an Xbox One this a holiday rather than waiting until Halo 5. That may just be more because it had a particularly good trailer rather than because the game itself is particularly good (I'll wait and see whether it turns out to be great when I play it), and it was the Halo MCC collection that made the console more of a feasible buy for me this early (Sunset Overdrive could always be picked up a year or so later when I got the console), but Sunset Overdrive just really stood out as an original, fuKItn looking game. Other great looking multiplats like Far Cry 4 were high on my list, despite not being enough in themselves to make me upgrade to a new system for a better version, but it was the originality, vibrancy and sense of pure fun in Sunset Overdrive (rather than the sense of "Look how much better we can make the graphics of the reveal trailer of the next entry of this particular franchise!") that really made me tempted by the Xbone in 2014, and made me think it had enough variety and originality to feel more like an exciting purchase than a bit of an obligation. |
Sunset Overdrive isnt a system seller in my book, but it is a breath of fresh air in an industry whose games take themselves too seriously. Its a good secondary game and since you said Halo Master Chief Collection was on your list then thats definitely screams console seller. Four Halo games is a great deal. You will most likely miss the Halo 5 beta but for now you're good. :)
