Check out this cool article on a review for Halo 5’s story:

What do you think?
Oh I agree with every single word. I think we have another thread going on this very article. I commented a couple of times on that one today. 343 needs to be called out, they need to apologize and set the record straight. Microsoft might have to step in because the Halo ship has sprung a BIG leak.
I would love to see 343 explain each of their lies described on the article. They went back on more things than I thought. Great company right?
I agree with a lot of what was written in that article; 343 really did not play out halo’s story as well as they should and could have.
The game play was solid (and some of the best in the series overall in many areas), but the story was one of the worst (actually, make that the worst of the series). While I can defend the other Halo games stories from people calling them convoluted and whatnot, its almost impossible to do so with the overall Halo 5 narrative (because that’s it exactly what it is; convoluted, jumpy, fragmented, etc take your pick).
It seems like every character just knows everything that’s going on all the time too.
They really should have focused on the character development in this game and then dived into some larger plot with the next one or something. I mean isn’t that point of having a series is the ability to spread larger narratives out over time, rather than mashing as much as possible into as small of a constraint as possible?
Agree
My favorite part of the campaign was when Master Chief wandered the desert alone with a cloak and dog tags in his hands. And suddenly there was this giant ball that looked like the one in Halo 4 and I was like “whaaa” - oh never mind that was just a trailer and not in the actual game…
I mean…That’s a very compelling piece to read. IT’s enough for me to rethink a lot of things.
omg its “Destiny Cut Content” syndrome all over again…
