I didn't watch their presentation but from what I've heard a lot of people were laughing at it.

I think people were overreacting a tad about the presentation but the graphics looked like xbox one more than they did next gen. I was definitely underwhelmed. And they've pretty much admitted that multiplayer wouldn't be really ready at launch. Overall, im glad they're delaying it even it means waiting an extra year

Not a Halo fam, but it makes sense. Hopefully they make the most of the delay.

The gameplay demo looked pretty bad imo

that being said, exclusives are only like 5% of a consoles library. I play xbox because my friends play it, thats it. Im literally only missing out on two games because I dont have PS4 (Last of Us and Persona 5)

Kinda wish they would've taken 343 off halo after 4 though. They have proven to be inept at every turn. How many failures does it take? This is Microsoft's flagship and they let this inept studio keep control over it for over a decade now. I like the idea of an "open world" halo game with tons of lore and exploration but this franchise needs fresh blood i think

I know. But they pretty much admitted it by omission. They've shown nothing and won't talk about it much at all. If they had something to show for multiplayer we would've seen it

And to add to that, they canceled the beta

343i is such a bad developer. the nickname 3v4i cracks me up

but just because they didnt show it/talk about MP in a campaign demo doesnt mean it was behind or whatever. Im pretty sure all halo games announcements have been single player stuff first with the MP details being revealed closer to launch. idk

it looked fun, but the decision to use a very old build for the presentation and a more recent one in premade trailers so the trailers actually looked way better than the demo is a questionable one

Makes more sense to launch them this year, especially with so many people stuck at home. If a second set of rona checks roll out, it'll be ever better for them to launch this year imo.

Yeah the main focus is always campaign but I can't see many other reasons for canceling the beta. And I remember what halo 5 mp was like at launch with like 4 real maps and then a bunch of forge shit lol

Did they prove this claim? Because I'm not buying that bs. Thats just damage control. And the delay more or less confirms it was bs

that being said, exclusives are only like 5% of a consoles library.

Yes, but because the other 95% of games tend to overlap, the exclusives assume a disproportionate amount of value in terms of distinguishing consoles. After all, what you're essentially deciding when you pick a console (assuming you only plan to buy one) is which 5% you can't play, not which 95% you can play.

This was essentially why I skipped the PS3 completely last gen - from my perspective, the choice basically came down to whether or not I was more interested in playing Halo or playing Uncharted, and Halo (and thus the 360) won. Afterwards, the 95% they shared in common discouraged me from ever buying a PS3, because I didn't feel a NEED to. Ironically, the fact that the PS4 seemed to be getting better exclusives (like Horizon: Zero Dawn) while the entire Halo franchise sucks now did the reverse this gen, where I picked up the PS4 and ignored the Xbox One because I already felt like the PS4 was fulfilling all of my needs.

It's also the reason why I shifted from the SNES to the PS1 in that generational shift and have literally never owned another Nintendo console again - the PS1 was packed to the brim with the sort of exclusive games I wanted to play (specifically Final Fantasy at the time), while the N64 had literally nothing I cared about.

In your scenario you're not motivated by the exclusives as much as you are by which consoles your friends are buying, but that essentially means that either they are being swayed by exclusives (when deciding which consoles to buy as a group), or they're just maintaining blind brand loyalty (and just sticking with Microsoft because that's what they've always played on).

Eh I have a good gaming pc and have done a good bit of pc gaming but I still personally prefer a well crafted controller to mouse and keyboard but also a decent amount of games are released on console and not pc

What does this have to do with anything? You know controllers work on PC right?

Sure they do but how many people actually do that and as I said tons of big games don't come out on pc and many that do come out years after initial release

Halo for example. Halo 3 just now came out on pc through mc collection last month. So if you're ok waiting 13 years after release then cool lol

Is that really true now? Basically everything that comes out on xbox is also PC now, so that leaves some Sony exclusives and the Nintendo ecosystem?

The halo games, Microsoft flagship, haven't even all been released on pc. But yeah, Nintendo games and tons of PS games also do not. To say all you need is a pc is just dumb when there are tons of games you miss out on
