SegmentNext - Halo 5 is heading to Xbox One in less than 24 hours. The game is the biggest Xbox One release of 2015 and it brings some of the most loved Halo elements, but one of the most iconic features is missing from Halo 5.
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.
Meh, not really. It's not intended to be accurate, to be honest. Same way they always make phones and laptops look more powerful and advanced than they really are. The show is, after all, science-fiction. This is pretty common practice in general.
Also that episode was probably filmed a few months ago, before it was announced there was no split screen. Not to mention I've seen tv shows where multiple people are playing a single player game...TV hardly ever gets gaming right.
I categorize this as a click bait article.
An episode of Dexter had Dex playing Halo 3(I think?) on PC with k/m. We all had a good laugh.
I remember watching a Jackie Chan movie a while back...I think it was Rumble or Supercop but anyways they showed Jackie and some kid playing video games together and they were going crazy on the sticks...the whole over the top fidgeting and bumping each other actors usually do when portraying playing video games. The next shot Jackie goes to talk to someone after playing and the camera shot shows the TV and the game they were playing in the background, it was Tetris.
I laughed pretty hard.
Point is, these shows/movies are not meant to show accuracy just marketing.
They are now getting wind of this?... That episode was like 2 weeks ago... Anyhow, i also thought this when i saw the latest mission impossible movie where halo 5 also makes an appearance but in that one the tech guy used 2 monitors for one game. I asked my friend and he said it can be done with an accessory usually used to demo the game like they used it to showcase forza 6. 1 game flowing into 3 monitors.
