So....Halo 5 failed

Now. As a Playstation gamer. I've always looked at halo with curiosity. "It's just a damn shooter. How good could a shooter be?". I saw previews for Halo 5 and I thought "Hey, maybe this one will convince me to try it". Guess what? WRONG. I've looked at what the fans have said and have seen AngryJoe's review for it. Yes, I trust AngryJoe more than IGN and Metacritic. He's a player AND a reviewer and doesn't get paid to make good reviews for certain games unlike *cough cough* IGN *cough. Let's look at the fails in the game: -Amateurish campaign length (4 hours and 30 mins roughly) -It's very easy with 3 other Spartans at your side -the Spartans you play with are forgettable characters -AngryJoe even said the graphics look beautiful but I always felt that Halo had shit graphics. Killzone looks better and was released in 2013 -You hardly ever play as Chief -There are dumb missions that include just talking to NPC's -The main character is Locke. Basically the whole story is Locke and his merry men who rob from the fans and give to Microsoft and 343. -Halo 5 was advertised as a VS with Chief and Locke but that doesn't even happen! -Terrible cliffhanger that doesn't earn it (don't know what happened but most of the time when people say that I find it to be true) -Companion Spartan AI is dumb as shit -You fight that warden boss guy like 7 times. SEVEN!!!!! I thought Destiny recycled bosses too much. We fought the gatelord and then 3 carbon copies of it. This Warden guy takes it to a WHOLE NEW LEVEL. 7 times!!! wtf??? Whoever did that should be fired and never be allowed to make games again -and of course, the dreaded and most hated MICROTRANSACTIONS! -not to mention I've also heard people complain about how bad the spawn camping is The strange thing with the microtransactions though, is that halo fanboys are DEFENDING IT. DEFENDING IT!!!!!! Wtf kind of drugs are these children on?! We don't want MORE microtransactions in games than there already are! According to AngryJoe, my only source in this, he went to the halo forums and ANYONE who says they disagree with the microtransactions are bullied, attacked, crushed, shut out, and hidden away because they so much as say ANYTHING bad about halo. Is this what the Xbox fanbase is supposed to be consisted of? If it is then I'll stick to my Playstation Nation. So dear 343. You baited me on this Halo and I came SO close to getting hooked. But you lost it EDIT: Lol so many butthurt posts I can't keep track of them all! EDIT: Also forgot to mention that you guys are literally praising a sequel that TOOK AWAY shit from the previous games, nerfed the campaign and added microtransactions. That's Microsoft for ya. I hope you all know that Microsoft bought Halo specifically to gold mine the money from all you drones. The worst part is that it worked better than imagined https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahRDm9Bwlyc

  • I think you're being really rude about this As an owner of both consoles as well, I grew up with halo, It's a memory for me, I used to sit on my couch with my older brother and we'd just play together Halo was amazing and I don't think that starting on the recent release is a good starting point for the whole game I don't understand the micro transaction thing either but it works, there's an audience for that regardless of how you feel and it shouldn't matter The trade-off for microtransacrions is free dlc That's great to me Now I want to addre You fight the warden 7 times because he has millions of copies of himself He's an AI like Cortana but has millions of shells that he can control He was created by the forerunners, and it's not just some random thing that they threw into the game The forerunners had the technology to make such feats and more The title halo refers to the seven forerunner rings that are ultimately a weapon to [spoiler]kill all life in the universe due to a species of zombie/ parasite thing called the flood[/spoiler] I thought the length of the campaign was appropriate and I'm excited for the next one Not because I'm a Microsoft or halo fanboy who has an xdick down their throat, but because I felt like it was a step in the right direction, with the gameplay and story as well And if a game doesn't appeal to you or make you WANT to buy it, then don't It probably won't be what you want it to be Like I said Halo is a memory I grew up with it

    • Did you watch angry joes review cause if so it sounds like your practically quoting him. At the beginning of your post you should have put "according to angry Joe halo 5...."

      • So essentially all you've done is quote Angry Joe and nothing more. You haven't played the game, so why not become original and write your own review. You trust Angry Joe so much but yet here you are on Destiny a game Angry Joe essentially thrashed in his review. He also made note of that during his Halo 5 review but then again I guess you missed that whole portion. Campaign Length 4 and a half hours, I can see that speed running as well as playing on easy. I played co-op with friends online and it took us maybe 13 hours across a few days because of work and other schedules and it was fun to us. AI spartans are annoying of course, but its still fun ordering them around as cannon fodder. Graphics are what they are, I won't complain as I think it looks pretty damn good but I would rather play on my computer (hoping for a port). You mainly play as lock on 85%, give or take, on the missions but I don't feel robbed. I actually thought before I played the game that this was going to be the case. With the movie, as well as general press, I felt that he would be heavily involved. The Warden boss was okay, wasn't exactly the most difficult thing to kill and didn't have a problem with him at all in reality. Essentially players on other types of games (MMO's) repeatedly kill the same bosses week in and out to obtain phat lewts, but I guess there is some sort of logical difference. He served a purpose within the story, which did have a cliffhanger of sorts. Again this is a saga that was formerly a trilogy. I would think that knowing that beforehand one would expect these types of endings. As for pvp I haven't had a great deal of problems with spawn camping. Does it happens yea, but it does take cooperation and setup from the opposing team in order to coordinate. Likewise if one coordinates with his or her own teammates then they can turn the tables on the trap. Microtransactions are here yes indeed. I literally have no problem with it. It doesn't break the game for me. The requisitions can be earned by just playing the game. The weapons/vehicles are used in warzone in which you have to do things in order to gain rank to use these specific items. You're not forced to pay but the option is available. You're perfectly fine running around with an AR and Pistol combo and actually contributing. I don't mind this because at the end of the day I obtain FREE DLC. The game isn't perfect and I do have my own issues with it. I don't think it is the worst but it certainly isn't the best in the franchise. There will always be room for improvement. I never read to much into reviews, because I don't think they sway me one way or another. I put my trust into companies or games that actually look like something that I want to play. Sometimes I get burned and sometimes I find gems. Mass Effect reviews wasn't that great upon release and I loved that game. Too Human was another one that I enjoyed but reviewers hated along with Bayonetta. All in all I played the game, you haven't you can continue to fanboy now.

        • I like AngryJoe as well but 6/10 is not even close to accurate, that is the same god damn rating he gave vanilla Destiny! Halo 5's story and Multiplayer are better than Destiny's at launch.

        • Dude you should play the game instead and you would see that a lot of what you said is pure garbage. The campaign is way more then 4 and half hours and try it on legendary. Master chief and Locke did fight too. So angryjoe should prolly try to play the whole game before reviewing and spouting garbage to people that eat garbage like you.....

          • I will agree as an Xbox gamer that Halo 5 was a fail. I don't think you are entitled to say that because you don't even have the console qualifications to say that if you don't have a one or ever played halo in your life.

          • I haven't seen his review for it because I don't really care for halo. Its just not my cup of tea. But I am careful with joe's reviews. If one thing pisses him off he will destroy the game. Just look at arkam Knight. It was a bad pc port and he literally just shit all over the game.

            • I was a huge fan of halo before, but seeing that review made me glad I don't play on Xbox anymore. Multiplayer has never really been balanced since 9/10 matches the other teams just camp power weapon spawns. Don't know about 5 but that's how every single other one was. I enjoyed playing regicide in 4 with my friends, but that was about it. Campaign was always actually really good, action packed and had an easy to follow story with cutscenes and everything. Knowing that 3 entire missions are nothing but talking to NPC characters is a major disappointment. Plus having only 3 missions as chief is sad too, they could have given a couple short, ambiguous missions that keep you wondering what he's really doing and whether he really is a traitor or not. Graphics, eh I don't care honestly, if a game is good I'll play it regardless. As for the micro-transactions...... Destiny did micro-transactions right, making them extremely minute meaningless gestures rather than giving you power weapons and forcing you to either spend $1,000+ or 1,000 hours to collect the armor sets. I'm not defending micro-transactions by any means, but if you're gonna do them, don't make them forced.

              • I just want everyone to keep in mind that this is the same guy that told me that killzone takes more skill than Halo. Lmfao, this guy is one of the biggest ponies in all of the forums. I see him bashing Xbox everywhere.

                        • You people make absolutely no sense. How in the world can you form a reliable opinion on a game without even playing it! You make absolutely 0 sense. How were you "almost hooked" without even owning an Xbox?! You literally just copied and pasted what angry joe said about the game. No halo isn't perfect and far from it. Yes they need to find a better approach to campaign and fix micro transactions but you can't form an argument for why halo failed without ever playing it. So please, edit your post and backspace all the way.

                              • I stopped reading when you compared kill zone to halo. I have both consoles and play ps4 considerably more, that said. Halo looks 100 times better than kill zone and the game play in halo is far superior than kill zone. 343 did completely destroy the campaign with there crap story in 4 and 5.

                                • The only problem with the story, is it assumes you have read the books and know about the halo universe. So for me, I loved the story, can't wait for 6
