You don't have to have done all of the things in a category to say that you only do things in a certain category. For example: Platinum Games only makes video games. Just because they haven't made every video game ever, doesn't disqualify them from that. Just because I haven't played every top rated video game ever, doesn't disqualify me from saying I only play top rated games. 

But you are right when it comes to me buying and playing Days Gone. I'm breaking my own rule here. But that's just me putting my own ideas to the test. I expect to like Days Gone, but not love it. If I do wind up loving it, I'll completely change my ideas about limiting myself only to top rated games. 

As far as not liking Halo goes, I'm just burnt out on the genre. I was never really a huge fan of it to begin with. (Well, except for the first Halo. That game is a classic IMO.)  Bungie isn't working on it anymore, so it would be like buying a 3D Platforming Mario game not made by Nintendo's core team. Add to that, that I'd have to get a Windows Store account to play it, and then buy a digital-only DRM copy, just to play a game that I know is the same old thing Halo has been for years... Yeah, I'd rather not.

Thats understandable. I just play what interests me. If i feel like a Zombie game ill buy one like i did with Dead Rising 3 and Dying Light. All not criticality acclaimed but fun as hell games.

As for Halo, i agree getting burnt out of a genre is common. I was burnt out playing Halo 5. But its been almost 5 years. Cases like that i miss the story and want to see what happens next much like Star Wars, seeing Episode 8 wasnt amazing but ill still be there for Episode 9. As for Bungie moving on and 343i taking over, we are not talking about some 3rd party company taking over, 343i is like Turn 10 which has the passion and fans to make the franchise great. Alot different as lets say playing a Mario game made by Capcom as just as example.
