A new review coming in from Angry Joe, for Halo 5.

I don't really like the direction that 343 Industries is taking Halo. Bungie wasn't great in story making, ever, but everything 343 Industries has done, or well, Microsoft was just inflate a bubble more and more over the past few years. Honestly, they should stop hyping up Halo, and just deliver on a couple basic features that Bungie had figured out since 2001 for the game.

Really, the reaction to Halo 5 feels that it's just more people living the hype than actually enjoying the game for what it is. In a couple months down the road, when the novelty will wear off then people might start being even more realistic with what the game is and what it isn't.

I just hope that Microsoft will just get its act together with 343 Industries and they actually change the way they approach Halo, it's not the best one for the title. It could be the best one for a new franchise, but for Halo it's on another plane altogether.

Also he's a literal spanner who doesn't understand fuck all

EDIT: not necessarily in this video

Don't be a spanner, "IT" ain't a real word, it's short for innit, innit?

I really hope they don't overhype Halo Wars 2, I like Halo and don't want it to be dissapointing.

They just need to stop hiring shit writers for the game's story, and avoid making every game on the market a grindfest
