So a joke single-player and a good multiplayer.

Maybe these Halo fans here can give some apologies to Bungie's Destiny... it will be fun to open old threads.

Seems like it will end at 83-84 Meta.

I can't take those clowns seriously at all. Story matters to a lot of people that want to be immersed into that universe.



Nice. Game seems to be well received unlike some recent FPS ( ghosts, destiny)

Actually I'm hearing some think the campaign is ok some think it's amazing. If u don't know the lore at all of course ur gunna be lost u can't hop into empire strikes back and not see the others. Also from everything I hear the mo isn't GOOD, it's downright amazing. Not heard 1 negative about it, read mp of the gem countless times. If this game would've launched as a mp only game it would have scored better than a 85, that's why I have problem with this score. But of course it got that low when 10+ of the reviewers know nothing about halo and hav been hating on it for years, giving the game 6's and 7's. That drags the score down. Even if this game had by far the best sp and mp in the series it still couldn't do any better than a 91 or so because certain people don't like halo.

edit also if the games mp launches smoothly the scores "could" go up in time, lots of content being added, from forge to btb to 15 maps all for free.



Halo MCC will sell 5+ million copies(including digital)

Is this what you get from all the reviews or just your attempt of a summary of all reviews? Because if it's the first, then you should read more or if it's the second then you have a problem with adjectives.

Also I wouldn't count on my prediction skills if I were you after the TTK mc thread

85-86 is a good score for Halo 5, This game campaign had pretty high hype level, it's only natural that it would failed to live up to the high expectation. The reviews are expressing their opinion for the game campaign failure to live up to high expectation. Still a must own on Xbox One.


85 is decent for Halo. Its good enough that it means most people will enjoy the game. The issue is Halo is supposed to be THE reason to get an Xbox over Playstation. I do see an 85 game having that effect. You want your console's killer ap to be over 90.

Are the people on here saying 85 is fine for Halo 5 going to say the same thing if UC4 gets a similiar score? I doupt it.

 

I think your last sentace kind gets at what I am saying. "A must own on Xbox one". Halo should be a must own period. It should be the game that makes you need to get an Xbox. Not just the game if you have an Xbox you need to pick up.

Halo 5 is a system seller to any FPS fans, especially if you've grown tired of the COD games. But, like any other game it does have limited appeal. The accumulation of 85+ reviews game especially exclusive is what will help the Xbox One.  This year will be a great year for Xbox one. The combination of all these games is the Xbox one killer ap not just Halo 5.

Ori and the blind forest - 88
Forza 6 - 86
Halo 5 - 85
Rise of tomb Raider - Most likely 85+
Rare Replay - 84

Beside, the biggest killer ap this holiday might just be Xbox one's backward compatibility not Halo 5.

Some would argue that the best games so far this generation were on the Wii U (I would agree) and that hardly translated in sales for that consoles.

Halo 5 will ends below TTK in metacore... that is how it is looking right now.

And yes most reviews are trashing the story... that is why it is not a 90+ game.

So your argument is that destiny has a crappy SP and a good MP since that's what the reviews said or? Btw, it seems the MP is getting rave reviews :).
