So I didn't see how #huntthetruth mattered at all, besides trying to build hype.

So, it's hard not to agree with those who are tagging Halo 5 as being just a prep game for the next installment.īesides, there wasn't much (if anything) in the game to backup the promotional propaganda of Master Chief becoming a traitor, dying or doubts about what we previously knew of him and his records.

The understanding of what was truly the background story, the meeting of the two lead Spartans and the reunion of the Chief with Cortana came only later. In terms of story, the materialization of all expectation I had built from Microsoft's intensive marketing was being postponed mission after mission. And although this is not a complaint since this way any casual gamer can experience and progress in the story, at some point I noticed that I was just doing the same things over without too much thrill. It wasn't challenging and there was more than enough ammo around to get through. Parts (including some inside areas) where they could have made it a notch less bright or without certain lights directly positioned against the players vision.Īnyways, Normal difficulty felt too easy.

I was very excited when I unboxed my XOne Halo 5 edition and its beautiful controller. I'm here just to share and comment on what I've noticed so far about Halo 5, having easily put pretty much 40 hours on it already. Okay, as always I won't go through the standard drill of telling you who's the developer of this game, who's the publisher, its year of release or even post amazing pics that should be used as background on your desktop.
