4ScarrsGaming: Praised as being among the best first-person shooters, the next installment of the legendary Halo franchise is upon us. Embark on the largest campaign and multiplayer experience in Halo history, developer 343 Industries ensures that this will be the most epic Halo game of all time.
One of the most anticipated Xbox One games this fall, Halo 5: Guardians is sure to please gamers from around the world. Here are five reasons why you should be excited for Halo 5: Guardians.
In Halo 4, 5, and Infinite, Master Chief became a more nuanced, human character.
In spite of the Halo series’ struggles, 343 deserves praise for adding nuance and characterisation to the ever-beating heart of Halo - The Master Chief. Playing through Infinite, it's abundantly clear that the events of the current and previous trilogies have irrevocably changed the iconic hero. He’s no longer the ‘blank slate’ that was previously presented by Bungie. He’s a fatigued, damaged and fallible protagonist, and one who is meandering through currents of grief, while reveling in his newfound agency. Giving the Chief a compelling and meaningful voice was no small feat, and 343 should be proud of that victory.
This article completely misses part of the appeal of the original iteration of character in the original game trilogy. It was the Chief and Cortana vs an entire alien collective. The blank slate Bungie displayed in their games was genius, he was an mysterious hero a wide audience could identify with because he wasn't as clearly defined as most characters.
The books added a lot of lore and backstory but most Halo players just want a fun game with exposition that doesn't get in the way of gameplay, it's why the Cortana level in Halo 3 was derided.
Not every character has to be a damaged soyboy, a soldier has to suck it up and do his duty.
The 343i Master Chief has is based on the books. However, in Halo 4-Infinite, the Master Chief overtime become. gradually becomes more willing to show some emotion.
Daily Video Game writes: "GameStop is running a new pre-owned game sale on over 1000 pre-owned games that offers four pre-owned ($9.99 or less) games for $20 across multiple gaming platforms right now, including PS3 and Xbox 360!"
Given the nature of backwards compatibility on new systems, this is a great sale in case you missed out on some gems from last gen.
Most of the games on Xbox are on game pass. The Switch games in this sale are trash c'mon farming simulator that's laughable. The PS4 games should be cheaper. I can't wait for the GameStop going out of business liquidation sale.
These sales, while potentially great, really struggle to be valuable given you can't easily parse what games are in stock. You can't just say "only show what is online & what are in my nearby stores". Probably 60-75% of these games in these massive lists are out of stock for shipping, and out of stock locally. It makes it a chore to find anything you'd want, much less 4 of them, much less enough if you wanted to get to a free shipping tier. It's a bummer.
NoobFeed Editor Joshua Burt writes - There are many games in the famous Halo Franchise that are stellar titles and need to be revered. And some that do not. These games stand out from the crowd and deluge of colossal Halo titles. Games that made Halo great. We do need to iron out what qualifies the game for this list. They have to be in the Halo franchise… Obviously.
Halo 3 at the top is correct the only thing id change is swap infinite and halo ce around.
Best sci-fi FPS ever
I watched a video earlier today that showed the Chief hearing Cortana's voice and seeing her blue light in a cave like structure. The vertical gameplay and open level design looked incredible
Did anyone else see it before it was taken down by Microsoft?
5? Probably closer to 50 :)
The intro cinematic, the single player and Warzone gameplay from E3 and Gamescon...I am so hyped for this game. Loved Halo 4 and Halo 5 looks to rival the best, if not be the best, in the series to date.
Nope not happening halo 3 stands above all its my fav and has my fav game soundtrack
Im hoping for a forge reveal before it releases. Something Kinda like the trailer that bungie did for reach forge world would be cool.
But overall im super excited for this game. Everything we've seen so far has been mind blowing. I cant wait to jump into the story.
