I've boycotted all EA and Ubisoft games successfully for years, until they actually start making good games and stop trying to price gauge consumers.

Halo though... Despite the crap match making, terminals not working, crashes, skipping levels, achievements not unlocking, DLC not able to be redeemed, the 20 hour install time, variable framerates which proves to me that consoles are become more inconvenient than PC Gaming.

However I just can't give that one franchise up, I will continue to buy every release, I need an excuse to use my Xbox One more than a couple times a year, the sad part is, console gamers have more of that to look forward towards, this gen.


Halo is great game that unfortunately had some bugs that were concerning a part of the game (somewhat kinda DC) it isn't a broken a game.


It was/is (I haven't tried it today) only broken if you tried to do anything that used it's online components.
Still I baught it on launch, I'll buy Halo 5 on launch, it's the campaign I look forward too, but for those who are different from myself and couldn't care about the Campaign, only the multiplayer? Probably the worst launch game on the Xbox One currently for them.

It's just ironic how Microsoft was pushing for a "more connected" device, which would have made such issues a larger focal point.
Sony isn't immune to this either, they haven't exactly had the most stellar of track records recently.

I boycott games when the franchise is being milked to the point of no return (CoD, AC) but in general I buy games depending on my hype, my financial situation & if the Metacritic is above 70.

im a smart consumer 99% of the time, that one percent is for making the HUGE mistake of buying BF4.... aside from that i only buy games on launch that i am 100% sure that are gonna be great, and i normally buy a pack of games some months after they release and grab them for arround 30 bucks each, that way i get to buy more games and support more companies, that i would be able to support by paying 60 for each.

I fell sorry for people who like MP on console. Too much milking with fees, dlc, yearly output, server problem,end of support.

good for me that I don't like competitive MP.

i refuse to pre-order games unless if its a niche title or a Nintendo game (though Nintendo is on its way to becoming niche) cause those have stock problems but i refuse to pre-order almost any game from the AAA Video Game industry with a few exceptions

its has Jim Sterling said over a year ago that nails the problem with pre-ordering games now a days

"the phrase shut up and take my money needs to be be replace to shut up and earn my money"

So true this last phrase.
