Just recently got SO... And it is hilariously fun.. Having a great time! I find myself giggling at everything, I love the animations, the over the top explosions and weapons... It feels and plays different to everything else out there, breath of fresh air. 9 out of 10 is a great score!
I would love Shepard to be the main protagonist in ME4, how they ended ME3 was absolutely atrocious... Problem is though... How are they going to tie the 4 different choices of ending in the next game? Refusal, Destory, Synthesis and Control. Bioware would need to choose one of Destory, Contril or Synthesis to carry on over to ME4.. Which will cause more controversy and debate.... Unless it's a reboot... Or heaven forbid a damn prequel... Who knows...
Hey mate, look as of yesterday MP was still very broken... There is a new patch out, so hopefully that fixes things... I bought the Halo MCC because I loved the campaigns... Working my way through them now and they are fantastic!!!! If you are not a campaign kinda guy and only play MP.. Maybe wait a little longer until it's completely fixed... But if you are more into SP than MP then I would definitely recommend it!
My biggest peeve at the moment is the amount of crucible and vanguard marks you get in a week! Seriously I have not been as lucky as some who have been able to get legendary armour and weapon drops.. So the only other way I can go about it is earning those damn marks! Unless they raise the marks cap from 100 to maybe 200+ it's going to take me weeks to get my guardian fully kitted out!
Wireless keyboard and mouse set up is not a bad idea. But it might be too much of an advantage for players against those using controllers.....
Really hope this game moves Xbox one units! Halo rocks my socks.... My favourite franchise of all time :)
There is currently 13 novels out, they are seriously good! There are some inconsistencies, and Halo 2 and 3 seem to forget the books, but it really enhanced the story for me when I played the games. I recommend that people read the kilo 5 trilogy, set after Halo 3 and leads into Halo 4. It might help give some context to Halo 5.
There are so many... The Mass Effect Trilogy was brilliant, but a stupid ending... Halos story is epic especially when you have read all the books and comics, Gears of War isn't too bad, the novels definitely added to the lore.... The Last of Us was Awesome (my favourite game)..... Assassins Creed was also very good, I would say those 5 games franchises are my favourite in no particular order.... hard to pick the best story line though.....
MCC will be a strong contender, it should move a few XB1's.... I'm still looking forward to Destiny. Bungie made crap loads of money with Halo, and they are going to do it again with Destiny!
I'm loving this game, while there some issues, this is only the beta and I will with hold judgement until the actual game is released. One thing I do worry about is that the final build of the game won't be as pretty as the 2013 e3 demo. Gaming companies always show their games with super awesome graphics, then when released they are downgraded. Even if the graphics remain the same, it's not a reason to say the game is crap, the current graphics are still good! I foresee hundred...
I loved the Mass Effect series.... But the ending of ME3 destroyed that love... I don't care if people disagree with me, what they gave us in that last 20minutes was garbage. I had all the plans of starting from ME 1 again and playing through the trilogy... But for what? To end up with a very dissatisfying ending? By where your final choice causes you to either commit mass genocide, force evolution on all life forms, or become a Reaper yourself?!?!?
For Bioware's sake...
I just love this game.... I'm a bit disappointed that not every XB1 owner has this game... Respawn will undoubtedly make the sequel cross platform... Which will be a real bummer for Microsoft!
PS3's and Xbox 360's are still going to sell over the next few years, and what a great time for people who are just getting into gaming. The game libraries are massive, last gen games and consoles are cheap, but I really think cross gen game creation needs to stop. Sony and Microsoft can still support online services for last gen, but the focus should be making PS4 and XB1 the best generation they can be, and that is going to be difficult with extra resources being thrown at the las...
We'll then you are missing out on some great exclusives. I have owned all Microsoft consoles and all Sony consoles. I love my PS4 and my XB1 is awesome. You sound just like another fanboy. Carry on with your narrow minded ness, I will enjoy the full plethora of exclusives coming out from both Microsoft and Sony.
I would love for the other living Spartan 2's to be in the game, Fred, Linda, Kelly and Naomi are still kicking around.... Would be awesome to have them all reunite, or even add in some co-op game play... Can't wait for this game!!! 2015 is so far away :(
@Numptyarse... Yeah Spartan 2's Fred, Linda, Kelly and a couple of Spartan 3's went through the worm hole on the shield planet Onyx. Also it is possible the 3 Spartan 2's from Gray company are still alive... As they are never mentioned to have died in the books...
To all those saying the character in the pics is noble 6 why? 343i have at least 4 other Spartan's to choose from Linda, Kelly, Fred and Naomi... Why would they use a Spartan 3 like Noble 6? They were cheap to develop, killed in their 1000's.... The 33 surviving Spartan 2's from the augmentation process did more to save the Galaxy than the 1000's of Spartan 3 created! Seems to stupid to use a character that was killed on Reach, when there are Spartan 2's around which are...
What about the possibility of M$ implementing a game streaming service (like PS now) of xbox and 360 games for free? All you would need is XB Live Gold, That would be a massive surprise, And might make people consider trading up from their 360 consoles... and some people getting XB1's.
Fanboyism is so annoying... I have owned all Sony platforms and Microsoft platforms at the same time. They all had their strengths and weaknesses, but I thoroughly enjoyed all of them... And I will enjoy my XB1 and PS4. The success that Sony and Microsoft are having at the moment is great for gaming and gamers! I wish success to both companies because means a brighter and more fun future for me a gamer.
I picked up my custom H5 console today also. I received some awesome news that EB will be giving Pre-ordered H5 consoles a free copy of Fallout 4. Not sure if it is EB nationally or just my local EB store. But was an awesome surprise. Can't wait for my H5 collectors edition, it is great that they are throwing in the physical disk!!!
