The great thing about halo is not just the game, but also the rich universe created by all the supporting content surrounding it (e.g. the books – which are rich in lore). A new trilogy isn’t bad because it will tap into these outside resources and bring new lore to the table. I am personally looking forward to finding out if chief really is the isoDidact or if this theory is wrong. We already know he has Bornstellars Geas imprinted in him….anyways without getting too crazy into details I think this new trilogy will have an interesting take on the universe (or at least I’m hoping so).

As for DRM, always online, no used games and all the atrocities the xbox one reveal had makes me agree with you. But if it weren’t for the PS4, and it creating the competition that is has those policies wouldn’t have been reversed. Because of competition we are able to enjoy games on both consoles as they should have been from the start. Competition makes each console push themselves further to satisfy the consumer base. Backwards compatibility is an example. Shareplay is an example. etc.

I will allow that the story of Halo 4 was better than the usual fare for a Halo game. With that said, it worked because of the finality of the whole thing. Here, they’re trying to start a new trilogy AFTER everything was wrapped up and they were done. That was a great situation for a story, but I am not convinced that they have the capacity to write another good story or campaign for the situation they made for themselves.

How thoroughly un-Halo every video and screenshot we’ve seen looks just convinces me of this – with Halo’s story done, this feels like an unrelated game concept they crowbarred Master Chief into. I mean, would it have been so hard to have just made this a new series? Maybe starring a woman?

And I personally don’t think its alright for the Xbox One and Ps4 to coexist, and I’ll tell you why – the DRM thing. I am aware that they took the idea out, but a message needs to be sent to all companies, that even talking about DRM like that is enough to completely scuttle your system. Everyopne needs to know that trying something like that in the future, even just hinting at it, will thoroughly wreck your console.

No, I do not kill my argument. You and everyone else can like what they want. According to sales that made policies change spoke about a majority of gaming fans. This does not mean it is wrong on what they wanted to do, it just means majority of consumer said no.
These “negative” or misinformation articles were nothing but fact checks. You are most likely thinking of gossip sites like neogaf and the fanbase that runs it. You would have to link to me these hate and misinformation articles you speak of. Listing facts about what most consumers should have known about with what they purchase is not hating on anything. Showing the weaker side of multiplat games on a weaker console was also something that was created from Microsoft so if they got bit by their own advertising mottos from the 360 days, this is their fault for convincing all of their loyal customers that having the best versions of multiplats mattered. Once again, no negative articles stating these issues.
Those games are not huge. Halo, gears, yes. Yes, over time, the other games did good numbers but, these are not you massive sellers like Microsoft, once again, would brag about with their marketing dollars and a lot of those sales were due to 360 bundles for fable and forza. Genre defining? No way. I will give you the purchase of bungie/halo for what Microsoft secured for console gaming but then it is just a repeating game after that with halo 2 doing better at story telling then the original. Gears, good, not defining and lost steam same as forza and fable.

False notions everywhere. Funny how you say Xbox was having troubles but not for you when everyone on this earth knew about the ddos attacks which, in fact, proves there were issues with the service but these sites you speak of, outside of recognizing the issue, which you do not, plastered pictures of a ps4 with “hacked” in red all over the place about the same issues and you blame the media for attacking Microsoft? Pfft. Ok. Microsoft has a long way to go until you actually have misinformed information about a product like Sony had received for years. There are smart people now. You can research any and all issues and not have to depend on those sites.

You know you’re on my di%k when you make a comment as a guest. Dont be faceless, that’s cowardly…. I bet you own a Ps4.

Anyway I said Bloodbore as a little joke. I personally dont have any real issues with that game or those that like it. Not my cup of tea but I do think it was over hyped and things that could be improved glossed over. And what i said about MS releasing games the way they do when they do makes perfect sense. “Fanboys are so sad” is not a counter argument. I personally think it would be better for them spread that 3 months into 5 months but that is just because as a consumer I like having time to play and beat games instead of just getting a chunk dropped on me at once….. But then again I am not the head of a multi billion dollars company. And how do you explain Sonys weak holiday stands. I say they know they will make up any losses and more during the year so they dont even really compete. Its smart but like you… cowardly.

And I am not upset about Sony selling more it doesnt affect all the fun I have with my Xbox One. The only thing i feel bad about is all the consumers that get a Ps4 when they would have liked a Xbox One better but do to them being stupid and mis information they wound up with something they wont enjoy as much But

Don’t worry the corrupt gaming media will make all the weak minded consumers think they struck gold…….. as I sit in my plush $1500 chair, puffing a $30 cigar, sipping on a $100 whiskey knowing….. “I am better than them because I know better”.

He was implying that the next few months will have some extremely big blockbuster titles. The fact that 24 people upvoted you lets us realize how stupid our world has become,….

You kill your own argument from the beginning.
“The fans do not want the policies, the Kinect, the media functions and same game titles on repeat.” Then You say “we can all like anything “.

This is why I dont argue about what people like or opinions. I personally love kinect but my argument for it isnt whether you should like it but the fact that it adds function that nothing else can duplicate. What the value is of the innovations is up to the consumer, and its sad to say that the reality is that media influences peoples decisions and what these media outlets have done is not present the products evenly or fairly…. which is what consumers that listen to them expect.
And you totally expose yourself (this will be the last civil comment I have for you do to this ignorance) when you dont recognize Halo, Gears, and Forza as genre defining franchises and Fable as a successful franchise. Each main iteration has sold well over 3 million units, Fable 2 had some nominations and won some GOTY awards. Then you ignore all the other game that are wrapped around these games trying to really buoy this notion that these are the only games that come out. You taint any type of logic you try to muster by doing that.

And I dont care if IGN or one of these sites was created by Jesus….. they are reporting misinformation and representing products incorrectly and it is wrong. Who made what when and why doesnt matter, the only thing that matters is the information is wrong. And again you taint your argument with comment like “Xbox was having issues”. I have an Xbox and have not had a single issue. this falls back to the false notions spread by these sites you mention but

Don’t worry the corrupt gaming media will make all the weak minded consumers think they struck gold……..I sit in my plush $1500 chair, puffing a $30 cigar, sipping on a $100 whiskey knowing….. “I am better than them because I know better”.

Yeah I know, I get the rationale. Get the attention of gamers. But when u keep saying “Best exclusive line-up in Xbox history”, it will come across as arrogant to some of us because we remember some amazing Xbox games that’ll be hard to surpass. Like they kept saying about E3 “The best E3 in Xbox history” but it wasn’t, although it was strong. Saying “history” is just too dam much for me lol. Just stay humble, brag a lil bit, but show us the greatness, peoples’ praise will come afterward. We don’t need to hear those huge one liners to be aware of Forza 6, Halo and TR. just my feelings.

And your whole comment read like a dumb a$$ bot fantard talk. And the Ears remake looks like a$$, the original looked way better for its time. the new one is all better and cheaply shadowed, its sh’t. And its ultimately still just a remake of a old game. But you’re to stupid of a fanboy to see that. Well have fun being angry at Sony for continually beating MS’s a$$!

And keep repeating yourself. It only makes you look dumber.
