Yo Icedawg, is it too late for my prediction? Cos I'm pretty sure it'll be about nkkj/100.

 

Despite being rather Sony inclined, I do really want to play Halo. For the story (don't juge me pls). And I'll probably end up buying an XBO+MCC+Halo 5+a few other games nearing the end of this gen, when it should be rather cheap. I do wish Halo 5's campaign had been a bit longer though, because 5 hours (according to VGC's review) even though, yes, it's on easy, is still on the low end for a full price game. Still, I'm looking forward to play this and the rest of the Halo saga, even though it might be a while til I do.

You have the right attitude towards it. But the best way to play Halo is always legendary more, and then you look forward to a15-20 hour campaign. Sadly reviewers often pick the easy solution and don't get the full experience.

So halo 5 has a bad story. Well im gonna get it when the white gears bundle releases. I hope the story isn't bad I really enjoy them in halo games.


This is the first I am hearing of this bundle.  Is it custom like TTK or is it white like  SSO bundle last year?

I think it's a hypothetical bundle for now since Gears doesn't even have a proper release date yet


Gears 1 remaster. $349 500gb releasing Nov 1

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'm sure if Halo 5 takes a year and $140+ in DLC to get "good" they would give you an apology....

Let's not pretend just because Destiny is decent now that it always has been, okay?



Just preordered the game a few minutes ago.

I can't post in your wall so I'm repying here this offtopic ;)

You missed the point of my comment... it is about the double standard guys here that gloryfied the Halo's story to justify trashing Destiny... well story telling was never good in Destiny (just got a bit better in TTK) but that was a key point from Halo fans saying Halo 5 will be better than Destiny due the awesome story.

Now aftetr the story found to be mediocre and the guys are in defense mode again... just to say "reviewes are comparing the story to epicness Halo stories and not others game stories" is just so bad that I can't even start to arguee about.

Maybe you receive what you deserve... these that always criticied avg. story in games like Destiny received the same threatment in his beloved game.

I don't know becausse I'm just a dumb small fly in the world.

The banter back and forth is outright pointless, "he said she said" kinda deal, they're two entirely different games, it doesnt matter which has the higher metascore, while the campaign is, in my opinion, too short, and the story doesnt really do much with itself, the other thing to keep in mind is that its intended to be that way because it's a multi-part storyline, the main point of the games release however, is multiplayer, and you will be hard pressed to find any reviews calling it bad.

I get it, you really like destiny, so people saying its story sucked and that the game lacked content is frustrating, but waiting for Halo 5's release to point fingers and say "KARMA GOTCHA" or anything to that effect is just plain silly.

Halo 5 is a better game than destiny was, as for what Destiny is now, that's debatable and dependant upon who you ask, but as I said, its taken a year and multiple DLC releases to get it there, and you're now comparing that lenghtly progression and fine tuning that Destiny has had, to a game that is only just on it's launch day, and frankly, what you need to do is just stop.



Nvm.

Meh, looks like Arthur Gies said the campaign was 9-11 hours long, almost nobody has said it's that long.

Most reviewers said it is 5-6 hours long... most games today didn't have long campaigns.

If Halo 5 has The Order's campaign length with Destiny's story quality, will people be willing to say that it deserves a score lower than either?
