| KiigelHeart said: Master Chief Collection and Halo 5 alone are a good reason to buy Xbox One. As Puggsly said MCC was a disaster but it works pretty well now indeed and there's plenty of people playing. I've been playing it alot recently and I'm usually able to find a game quickly. I'd also rate Halo 5 as one of the best 1st person shooters, but this is offtopic so I'll continue on that other Halo thread. |
I've only played 1 and 3 and found both to be very bland. Even if I had an Xbox One (I do have an OG and 360) I doubt anything can get me to buy Halo again ever. Esp today where there are so many IMO better options. Halo had its time but has been surpassed and its popularity has been fading for some time now. From Splatoon getting more attention, Halo Wars 2 falling into Bargain bins rather quickly and the recently very pathetic turnout for the Halo World Championship. This is a series not gaining any new fans anymore. That's MS biggest issue this gen. Another Gears , Halo, and Forza are not gaining new fans.
PS4 and Switch offer familiar IP's with new spins or new IP's period and just a lot of diversity in exclusives. PS4 had exclusive Shmups, Nioh, Yakuza, Horizon, Persona, Gravity Rush 2 as just some examples of vastly different and varied games. Nintendo offered Botw, Mario Odyssey, Splatoon 2, ARMS and Xenoblade 2, Snipperclips as again very different and varied exclusive games. Why they are gaining new users and fans and MS is stagnating. I don't wish ill on MS but they need to learn Halo and co are not cutting it anymore. I do see some of the 2018 games and while nothing wrong with them...it's up against some stiff compeition from PS4 and NS and honestly seems weak in comparison. I wish MS would be more aggressive on exclusives. I really liked the 360 and OG Xbox.
