Wow.

I almost had it :/

I think we should all be on the look out for "digital spy" after they gave until dawn a 4/10, there wasn't much to worry about..

But really? Halo 5 a 6/10? I'm honestly smelling click bait.



There's only 2 races: White and 'Political Agenda'
2 Genders: Male and 'Political Agenda'
2 Hairstyles for female characters: Long and 'Political Agenda'
2 Sexualities: Straight and 'Political Agenda'

Like I said, Halo 5 has a good score, but it's a bit low for a mainline Halo game. It's also a little odd that the Xbox One doesn't have a 90+ exclusive yet, but it will come.

I also agree that the world would implode if Uncharted 4 got this score.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

Not entirely surprised by this score based on all the campaign footage shown. Nothing really impressed me (tho the advertising was pretty sick).

Side note: has anyone seen the ign video with Ryan Mcaffery and Mitch dyer on halo 5's campaign? This is the real surprise. Both are huge halo fans. Mcaffery is the biggest halo fanboy there is haha. Never heard him say a single negative thing about halo. But he speaks quite poorly about halo 5 in the video. Here it is if anyone hasn't seen it:

Finally updated the score, looks like it's going to sit on 85. Can't wait to play!

It's disappointing that it never got to the 90's but oh well. I wanted it to finally be the first Xbox One game to get a 90+ score since no Xbox One exclusive has so far while Sony and Nintendo both have.

It has to happen eventually though, I guess it just won't be Halo 5.

Not odd when you consider PS4 has 1 and Wii U has 2 or 3 depending on what you classify Smash Bros as. Idk if its the same game on 3DS?

There just aren't very many truly amazing exclusive games this gen as of yet. It's been dominated by third parties.

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?


Did you play Destiny much last year?

I played a ton last fall and it was VERY good. Yes the SP story was basically not there. Co-op was amazing. Most of the review beat it up for the story. Fact is a ton of people play Destiny alot.

 

Its also way to soon on Halo 5 to determine how good MP. If I recall it took a little bit for people to realize Halo 4 MP was not great. The real tell is whether or not Halo 5's MP community stays strong over the next few months.



psn- tokila

add me, the more the merrier.

That's a terrible score for the game that was suppose to save Xbox One. No doubt Uncharted 4 will score higher than 85.

You tell me?

I still say halo 5 is easily the better game of the two at launch.
