KCF0107 08/11/20 2:00:20 AM #102:	Halo 5: Guardians (XB1) I've owned this game for about five years now, so it's about damn time that I beat the campaign! There's a lot to like about this game. There's a greater emphasis on using the superior Promethean and Covenant weapons, the game is absolutely gorgeous and at times has you going through some truly neat environments to fight in, there are some great quality of life changes such as the ability to pull yourself up from ledges, and while I have played almost exclusively classic multiplayer stuff, the new Warzone mode seems pretty rad even if I don't really have a handle on what is going on all the time lol. Unfortunately, there's enough holding it back to where I would probably rank it only ahead of Reach among the seven major titles. While I liked the addition of the squads in the campaign, they don't seem to respond to your commands nearly as much as they should, whether it is entering vehicles, attacking a certain enemy, or reviving me or another teammate. The first three games superbly delivered an incredible sense of scale with an epic adventure while the next three (ODST, Reach, and 4) were more of a personal quest that totally paid off. 5 didn't seem to do either. I ultimately feel underwhelmed with the campaign. Like yeah, it's Halo and I had a ton of fun, but like I didn't accomplish or experience much. While I do not put a whole lot of stock into video game plots/stories, I'm a little mad that not only did they just completely undo the emotional campaign from 4, but they are making Cortana the villain in this arc? I've been playing Halo for almost 20 years and have a strong attachment to her. It was sad to her go in 4, but I thought it was a proper sendoff. Now they brought her back and are likely to ask me "kill her" in this current arc. Fuck that. At this point, the only remotely reasonable hope is that there is some reconciliation in Infinite or the next game and there is another, bigger overarching villain to be revealed to take her place. --- KCF can't actually be a real person but he is - greengravy If you smell what the rock is cooking he's cooking crap - ertyu <cite>KCF0107 posted [p:943241922] in Post Each ...
