What will you do if Halo 5 isn't good?

Games Halo 5: Guardians
1

This is just a question I was thinking about, and I’m just curious about everyone’s opinion. If Halo 5 turns out to be a disappointment like Halo 4 (and arguably Reach), what will you do afterwards? Will you continue to support the Halo series nonetheless, hoping for 343 to get it right? Or will you give up on the franchise and move on to other games? I, personally, would continue to support Halo, because the potential is there for it to be great again. But what are your thoughts?

NOTE: I’m not saying that I think Halo 5 will fail. This is simply a “what if” question.

NOTE 2: Please be respectful of differing opinions.

Skip it just like Halo 4.

There are going to be too many good games next year to get hung up over another bad Halo game.

3

While I’d still continue to buy Halo titles, I won’t be obsessed with it and post on the Forums and what not.

There are plenty of games I’m looking forward to.
Destiny
SWBF3
Ghosts

So, hopefully, they keep me entertained.

As long as Halo doesn’t lose sight of a good campaign, I am in. Competitive multiplayer has never been the primary feature of Halo for me.

With games like titanfall, battlefield 4, and Destiny I think I can deal with just one game out of my wish list.

You forgot Watch Dogs.

You also forgot Final Fantasy XV.

If it turns out like Reach/4 then I’ll probably just pass on the Xbox One seeing how Halo is the only reason I’d even consider getting one.

What would I do, I just wouldn’t be surprised, and which is why I tell myself not to. But I will anyways and it will most likely be a disappointment as always, just like COD!

Everyone says they aren’t going to buy it, everyone buys it, they think its a disappointment, and they go back to the last generation, which everyone thinks is awesome now, even though 12 months ago everyone was saying the game was terrible.

:smiley:

I would buy it for the campaign, then trade it in for titanfall, or destiny, or some other game.

Rest assured that I would be on the Internet within minutes, registering my disgust throughout the world.

12

If halo 5 continues on the path of sprint and armor abilities and no ranked/social division, and it’s bad, I simply wont get an xbox one. Halo 3 was the only reason I got an xbox 360

13

Rent it. :L

14

I don’t know but I won’t be surprised when everyone is playing other games and nobody is playing Halo. Halo 5 better be amazing if its gonna compete with the titles that are coming out.

15

I am not getting the Xbox one till 2014
1- coz the price will drop
2- halo 5

If halo 5 sucks I’m skipping the Xbox 1

Halo is the console seller for me. If they show a dedication to appropriately supporting traditional game types, I will be all over it. Console, extra controller, xbox live, more games… you get the idea.

If they continue down the path of infinity slayer without demonstrating intent to cater to the many Halo fans that have fallen off the wagon, I will not be buying the console.

Splinter Cell Blacklist is a similar situation. Its been eight years since I enjoyed a Splinter Cell game. Didn’t even bother with the most recent entry since it abandoned the traditional play style. Blacklist has figured out how to honor the classic mechanics (ghost play style) but still cater to the new blood. I’m definitely going to be buying it and applaud Ubisoft for figuring out how to walk that line.

Continue playing Halo 3

Play it and adapt to the new Halo like always then become good at it and Have fun on Halo with People.

What do you mean by failure? I think Halo 4 was great, the Campaign was the best of the series, SpOps is a neat concept and I enjoy the multiplayer

I highly doubt the next Halo will be bad, since all previous titles were amazing. Better or worse, still amazing. If Halo 5/XBO won’t be better than the rest of Halo games, it will be just as good.
