Well, we'll find out soon enough, Halo 5 multiplayer footage is being shown in less than a week.


Oh ya, forgot about that :).  Hopefully they don't go too crazy with the "spartan abilities". Looks like sprint, slam?, slide, cover?. I have a bad feeling about them. The last 5 years or so have made me realize simplistity is forever better then complex. Halo 2, counter strike, gears of war beat halo 4, cod aw, destiny any day of the week.


I agree.

I just hope the new spartan abilities are a natural progression like dual wielding, boarding vehicles, etc.  If the new ones are basic and don't add significant randomness, then I'm all for them.  I just hope they've thought them through.  I'm fairly confident that one of them will be a ground slam or something along those lines.

Same. And I wasn't that impressed with the demo honestly. I might give it another try if they rerelease the trilogy on Xbox One or something, but honestly I'm not too concerned about it.

Story based. Trust me if you get a chance give it a go. Especially if they remaster the trilogy for next gen (getting rid of the first game's technical issues).

Yes, 1000 times this! Mass Effect is an amazing series, definitely give it another chance. I'm in the middle of an ME3 playthrough right now actually xD

I've been through it three times on various platforms. Different experience each time.

Would have to think very carefully about the time committment of a fourth playthrough

I've mostly played them on PC, though I do have ME3 Special Edition on Wii U. I'm not a fan of that version though. Even with the interactive comic that covers the first 2 games, the conversations between characters during missions and cutscenes are a little different because they have to also introduce new players to them. Just doesn't feel the same without Garrus joking with Liara about digging up dinosaurs :/



ME1 is one of the most ambitious game of 7th gen. It is open world, the story is well written , space/planets exploration and deep weapon and abilities customization (however, not refined).

With ME2 they took the corridor shooter route and turned it into another cover shooter TPS. They tightened the horrible combat mechanics but they took everything that made ME1 a distinguished game.

The footages I saw from ME4 with Mako, gives me hope that on foot planet exploration is available instead of lazy mini-game that had on ME2.
