I don't want to drag the thread too off topic but real quick.

1.  Not being good at a game =/= not a gamer.

 

2. That is demonstrably not true. Doom, Dark Souls, Bloodborne, God of War, Halo 5, nearly all racing, fighting, Nintendo games, and 2D platformers. All of those have stories that are vague, bad, or nonexistent and yet they all are well reviewed in their own regard.

C'mon man, this dude is basically a troll, lol. A quick glance at XOne's highest rated games, with at least 90+ metascore, both third + first party, none of them are considered 'cinematic experiences.' I don't know why he needs an excuse for HW2 though, it has a scored pretty well.

Played last night, and the game is amazing. So far im loving it. The Story is probably the best iv seen in a Halo game since Reach. Nice and Dark. I expected the reviews to be butchered due to its genre on Consoles. For what it does it does well considering the limitations a console offers. Once i get my new PC ill be jumping on that. At the moment im playing on X1 and its great.

I keep hearing that the story is really good. That's exciting and surprising haha! How do you like it compared to the first one?

I agree with everything youve said in this thread except for the God of War part lol

I like the story in God of War, but it's pretty shallow and straight forward.
