Not going to lie, I spent alot of time trying to justify Halo 5 for myself. After the most recent update adding more then alot of what I wanted and expected from the game it still felt odd playing. Sort of like being in a relationship you don’t feel the passion for anymore. For awhile I thought this was just Halo fatigue until I played HW2 beta. It enlightened me on why I loved Halo before, and only made me more distasteful of Halo 5. I then went back toe the MCC and even Halo Reach and i just felt more at more. Sort of like finding a place where everyone knows your name kind of feeling.
I still think Halo 5’sis a good game, just not a game that I enjoy, like Dark Souls. People always say it’s a great game that you only hate if you’re not good at. I’m good at both Halo and Dark Souls and I find them both not very fun.
Halo 5 has all the things I would like to have in a video game, custom game browser, what is basically just a map editor, plentiful and meaningful weapons and vehicles, high armor variations, ranked and social playlists and yadyadayada, just not in the right place. It all sort of feels like it exists to exist, not because the game wishes it was there, it feels a bit forced in a way I can’t explain. There was quite some time where I felt like a joke that my father told me that in poor taste so I’ll spare you all the tale but long story short, I was comfortably delusional for over a year and payed not mind to it. IN a way it had it’s own freedom. I wanted to believe I was having fun and did all I could to but I just wasn’t and I can say this now.
Now you might be wondering “Why are you even making this post?” Well, I can only give the answer I gave to my friend when he asked why do I still play Halo 5.
“I don’t know.”
