When Angryjoe (A huge Xbox fan, who only got into PlayStation with the PS4) ripped apart Destiny it was completly fine, but a Halo fan reviewing a Halo game and suddenly it's not legit because its exclusive to a system. Absolutely hysterical.

Anybody can review, maybe people should make their own opinion on a game if they can't handle a differing opinion.

At the end of the day, does a 6/10 or a 9/10 change the quality of the game? Absolutely bloody not.

This is true. He has regularly been pretty hard and unwavering on major titles regardless of PS/XBox/Multiplat status. But when some people see him not giving high grades to games that they favor, suddenly it's a big deal.

It's all relative anyway, we all have different tastes and preferences. It's too bad game demos aren't as common as they used to be, they help people avoid bad games and give a look at others that they might otherwise not know about or have given a chance.

To some people, Halo 5 will be a 10/10, and that's perfectly legit FOR THEM. For me, just from the few minutes I spent with it, it would be a 4/10 or less personally. I don't gaf about the story, I don't like the MP style, it's just not my bag. Does my 4/10 mean anything to anyone else? Hell no, and it shouldn't.

As for me, Halo 5 is not interesting enough for me to spend hundreds of dollars on, and nothing else on X1 besides maybe Forza 6 is available or upcoming that I have the slightest interest in. I dumped my X1 after being severely disappointed in Forza 5, and have no regrets. Maybe I'll pick one up for $100ish at the end of the gen to play a few titles that I missed.

We get what you are saying.  Someone's review should not matter if you like it.  But then you had to say 4/10 after a FEW minutes of playing and going on to tell everyone about how you dumped the XBO.  This is flat out trolling, as it is irrelevant and you know it will upset people.  

 

Idk why angryjoe is popular, looks like a mega nerd and I will never watch one of his videos based on what people have said as it confirms what I assumed about him accurately.

It shouldn't upset anyone tho. No one should care about that crap he wrote. Just let it be.

Ah, I don't mean it as a troll whatsoever. I have plenty of friends here and elsewhere that like X1 and/or Halo, and that's great. My feelings and preferences have eff-all to do with what they like, and vice versa. If anything I'm HAPPY that people enjoy the things that they like.

People need to stop taking things so personally, and to be able to know what subjectivity and objectivity mean. :)

I prefer PC and Nintendo, with PS4 looking more interesting next year. That's just me, and that shouldn't offend anyone. i tried to go X1 early in the gen because I really liked the older Forzas, but like I said, F5 was a letdown to me personally.

But this is getting a little off-topic, it's all in reference to Angry Joe and perceived bias/resistance to criticism.

The biggest point is that NOBODY should speak for you, and you have to take other people's opinion with a grain of salt and proper perspective. Once you find someone with really similar taste to yourself, that's when you can really start to find good reviews/thoughts on things that might be applicable in checking out new games/movies/whatever.

Peace :D

Halo 5 campaign is a joke and they clearly want to rip off Battlestar Galactica. 


THIS!!!

All I can think about for Halo's story since H4 is this... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bOy3RNyWME...

I dislike the way the story is heading, its not as original as the mythos of the Halo rings. They ruined it with the pre-human civilisation stuff.

How can he be a Halo fan if he didn't even bother playing Halo 4??? The guy also plain sucks at the game... his claims of how the REQ system work is complete and utter BS. A blind man could get point faster than what he was implying....

Oh for God's sake. Why are so many OP's on this website devoid of their own opinions?

If i want to comment Joe's video, i can go do it on his channel.

Is there something specific you want to talk about?


If your talking about me, I'm not going to watch the video because it most likely has campaign spoilers and I don't want that. I just posted this so everyone can know. Also do you not see a bunch of other people giving their opinions?

Funny all the sony fans (I didn't say fanboys so don't hate mods) are all in this thread talking down on this game even though they will never even play it. This game is going to sell about 10 million at least in its lifetime so its all good. Hell titanfall sold over 7million so this should be easy for Halo 5.

Not that I've talked down the game, but you don't have to play a specific game to undrstand certain concepts like length of a campaign, graphics, glitches, launch problems, microtransactions, DLC in general, online netcode, etc, and have opinions about that. The point of open discussions is that everyone can voice their opinions.

As for Titanfall, it did not reach 7 million sales, but has had 7 million unique players playing it, as the Titanfall producer pointed out.  "This does not mean 7m sold. This means 7m people have played the game."
One thing to consider here is that Titanfall was free to play on Origin for a few days.
Though this game is also available on three platforms. XB1, 360 and PC. Halo 5 is only on XB1, so I dunno about that comparison.


No, that was 10 million unique players. Also, this was counting retail sales and most people bought the retail version on xbox one. If titan fall a new ip can do well on xbox one I am certain Halo 5 will have no problem. And yes, you need to play the game to understand what it is about and have an idea on multiplayer.  You can only make few assumptions about what someone says. Although Angry joe scored it above average, most reputable big sites like IGN, Gametrailers and Gamespot loved the game and praised it. I didn't care for Halo storyline, but the multiplayer and gameplay is probably the best this generation going by fps standards.

On Legendary the campaign length is comparable to Reach or Halo 3, definitely longer than Halo 4 but not twice as long.

But then 3, 4 and Reach would be longer too if you play them on Legendary.

Anyway, here's a compilation of how long each campaign takes according to Howlongtobeat.

Let me rephrase that. The length of Halo 5 on Legendary is comparable to Halo Reach on Legendary and Halo 3 on Legendary. edit: and yes, I meant "definitely longer than Halo 4 on Legendary"

Campaign looks even more disappointing than I thought it was.  So short and it ends on a cliff hanger...really?  I don't give a shit about the multiplayer.  I'll pick this up when it enters the bargain bin, probably won't take that long.

Is anybody surprised there is a cliffhanger ending? Its intended to be a trilogy.

I mean Mass Effect, Gears, God of War, Last of Us... this isn't something new.
