awesome review, joe is defeniantley one of the reviewers most to be trusted when it comes to big media and celebreties on youtube. 

People should stop defending microtransactions and a mediocore 4 hour campaign just because there is a multiplayer you like

so you call a subjective opinion bullshit because of your own subjective opinion? Is that right?

That is not even close. If there is 30min of cutscenes it´s more than I thought. 

And to be honest I´m disapointed they weren´t longer and more frequent.

But any way, Joe didn´t played Halo 4 and he said he dind´t touched a XOne controler in almost one year. He didn´t take time to explore or even admire the envaironment.

It´s sad he had become such a bitter player. 

I tend to avoid his reviews on anything until after I finish it because he loves to give spoilers. He can't help himself!  But whether he is to be trusted?  Reviews are, of course, just opinions.  Sometimes, we agree.  Other times, we disagree with the reviewer. Take his Man of Steel review (where he actually claimed the movie did well because HE told people to go see it!) where he piled on tons of praise.

With any review, I tend to take the facts and decide which of their complaints will bother me, which ones I can overlook, and which ones are total boner killers.  It has served me well, thus far.

Not subjective at all. 

Microtransactions being a non issue is a fact. If you feel the need to buy them, you suck at the game. Fact. 

Story is only 4 hours long when you rush it / co-op it on normal. Every other Halo game can be completed in 3 hours even if on normal and co - op. Play it solo, its 7+ hours easy. Fact. 

Only subjective part is whether you like the story or not. 

Dang, that was a long review, but it does sound like it is riddled with a lot of issues that overall drops down the game. Sounds like it is rather disappointing for a Halo game... : X

Was he drunk while reviewing the game? The campaign is the same length as halo 4 i would say. The multiplayer is the better than halo 3(which was my favorite).

For me its not perfect but it is still the best fps game i've played this gen (ps4x1)

The way Halo campains are structured the only way they make they longer is bloating each level with more waves of enemies or make bullet sponge bosses...

that is Destiny in a nuttshell.

Bungie might have realised that with Firefight. In Reach FF was the best and fastest way to level up and unlock armor pieces.

I have more problems with the first 2/3 of the campain because I have little idea of Chief and Lock motivations . The last third thought is preaty good emotional wise.

It's really weird how Sony fans see something that doesn't relate to them from a negative perspective and and XB1 fans see something that DOES relate to them from a positive perspective. What we need is a huge Halo fan to give us an honest perspective on Halo 5 ...

... Or maybe we don't.
