85-86 is a good score for Halo 5, This game campaign had pretty high hype level, it's only natural that it would failed to live up to the high expectation. The reviews are expressing their opinion for the game campaign failure to live up to high expectation. Still a must own on Xbox One.


85 is decent for Halo. Its good enough that it means most people will enjoy the game. The issue is Halo is supposed to be THE reason to get an Xbox over Playstation. I do see an 85 game having that effect. You want your console's killer ap to be over 90.

Are the people on here saying 85 is fine for Halo 5 going to say the same thing if UC4 gets a similiar score? I doupt it.

 

I think your last sentace kind gets at what I am saying. "A must own on Xbox one". Halo should be a must own period. It should be the game that makes you need to get an Xbox. Not just the game if you have an Xbox you need to pick up.

Halo 5 is a system seller to any FPS fans, especially if you've grown tired of the COD games. But, like any other game it does have limited appeal. The accumulation of 85+ reviews game especially exclusive is what will help the Xbox One.  This year will be a great year for Xbox one. The combination of all these games is the Xbox one killer ap not just Halo 5.

Ori and the blind forest - 88
Forza 6 - 86
Halo 5 - 85
Rise of tomb Raider - Most likely 85+
Rare Replay - 84

Beside, the biggest killer ap this holiday might just be Xbox one's backward compatibility not Halo 5.

Some would argue that the best games so far this generation were on the Wii U (I would agree) and that hardly translated in sales for that consoles.
