Story seems so fanfic
Stop evil cortana that has come back from the dead to reign the third reich. All while Spartan wannabe fanboys chase after you
Anything can sound like bad fanfic when you simplify it down that much.

Does the story to Halo 5 really even matter all that much? I'd imagine most people would get it for the multiplayer since Halo has some good ass multiplayer.
Nope. They release expanded universe content and include the campaign mode for shits and giggles. As if people would actually care about the story. Lol, what a dumb concept!

Having finished the campaign, here are my thoughts. From a perspective of a guy who knows the lore well. Major spoilers below. Spoiler Overall, pretty satisfying. I can see a lot of stuff that will confuse your average fan, but that wasn't a problem for me. Nonetheless, they ought to cover topics like the Mantle more in-depth in the game - a Mass Effect style codex for the major topixs would be welcome.
As for the story itself, certainly a mixed bag. Overall, the plot is a cohesive nareative that makes sense, and there are certainly no characters I dislike bar one (I'll explain in a minute). In particular,Exuberant (The new monitor) and the Warden are very much characters I enjoyed interacting with, their dialogue and voice acting is top notch.
The only major complaint I really have is the reincarnation of cortana. Whilst I certainly enjoyed having her as the antagonist rather than the protagonist (Which was certainly refreshing and unexpected), I dislike the conxept of her return. I was wholeheartedly wanting and expecting her to be the domain using her image to get to John, but nope. Either way, I'm impressed with the route they took regarding her and while it's not how I would have done it, I'm certainly not majorly opposed to it. With a lot of recent media focusing on AI (Such as Saint's Testimony), it's a logical direction to take. And it ties well into the central themes of the Reclaimer Saga.
However, there are some things I'm not too thrilled about, though only the first is anything major.
-Jul being killed off as he was is honestly a waste of a pretty good character. Having seen his character through Glasslands,Thursday War, Spartan Ops and Escalation, it annoys me how he's just sort of killed at the start of the game and that's it.
-Cortana's appearance. Ew.
-Thel deserved more screen time
-The abrupt ending cliffhanger. This is worse than Halo 2's ending, quite frankly. While I'm not doubting it's effect on the plot, it's just a dick move to make us wait until 2018, presuming a three year dev cycle
-the ending is really anticlimactic. It's not like,say Halo 4 where you have a clear 'final battle' kind of feel. You just sort of kill some stuff as normal in the last mission before the final cutscene begins. Very underwhelming. There are a lot of things I enjoyed about the campaign, but I'm too lazy to write them here. So despite only talking about the negatives, tbis easily goes into my top 3 stories of the series. Right next to Halos 4 and ODST

Something akin to Elite: Dangerous or Star Citizen would work for Halo, but Titan looks like absolute shit-thank god we got Halo Wars instead.
We were going to get both originally.

Bargain Hunt
A fate worse than death.
Royal mail says my game is going to arrive at 1.00pm, latest
I'm not sure I have the endurance for Caught Red Handed and Escape to the Country ;-;
Just play something on the xbone instead <.<
Surely there is something more entertaining than... that...
Or you could turn on ITV and watch Jezza with some popcorn.
I'm sat on the couch with my blanket and it's nice and warm. I'm too lazy to change channels because the remote is on the table. Spoiler for reals though I've got writing ro do so eh.

Thanks. I'll keep looking--I won't look under that spoiler just yet.
Fair enough. It's just the map marker, so you'll still need to look around it yourself to find them. Don't want to make it too easy now, do I? I had to play FO3 before I got internet so I feel your pain right now.

Alright I'm going dark on all Halo stuff here from now until I've finished the campaign. Game releases in twenty minuted (What the fuck) and I want to stay in the dark.
5606
« on: October 26, 2015, 06:39:05 PM »
Also here's the location of The Family. It's only the map marker, so you still need to hunt around to actually find them, but it should be easier than three locations.

When you first play Fallout your little radar in the bottom left corner is really confusing at first. Although that quest gives you three locations. The areas are also confusing.
Yeah, I was about to ask about the radar, actually. What are those little arrows underneath the line, and what does it mean when they go black? Are those just areas that I'm reaching, or something?
Red bars = enemy in that direction Green/ yellow/ whatever your UI is = friendly/ neutral in that direction (The distance you can see these is based on your perception) Yellow arrow = Quest marker Empty arrow = custom marker They flash black as you get closer to them (The arrows), as they flash faster the further you are.

Wait this is Project Titan?
Never mind.
the forerunner structures from the OP look cool and I certainly wouldn't mind seeing them implemened in a future Halo title (I sort of tek them to be how the interior of the Onyx shield looked), but everything else really just needs to be burned in a fire. Repeatedly.

Project Titan looked shit though
I'm glad it didn't get made

Can you choose your character in single-player? I want to play as Vale all mission every mission.
Sadly no.
They really should add that in though.
0/10 can't play as vale would not buy
