Why are people saying that Halo 5 looks ugly?

You go on any youtube video about Halo 5, and you will see comments talking about how ugly the game looks. Why? The game looks perfectly fine. Sure there are some texture issues in the game, but those aren’t noticeable if you don’t go looking for them. Also it looks as good as Halo 2 anniversery, so what is with all the comments saying that Halo 5 looks ugly?

Doesn’t look bad. But at the same time the visuals aren’t that impressive. Especially compared to a lot of games these days.

“Perfectly fine” is pretty subjective. It looks sub-par for a game out in 2015. They had to sacrifice a lot to get it to always be at 60fps because of the XB1’s garbage hardware. Even then, anything in the game with frames moves at 30fps if you are more than about 10 feet away, something that none of the games in the MCC have a problem with so coming from that it looks really unpleasant.

There are multiple maps in MP that have terribly bland textures. Honestly. The campaign looks great, but some of the MP maps are just boring looking.

That I agree with, some of the buildings in Arena looks like an unfinished texture for the Source engine. It’s just that most of the complaints come from the campaign, which already has problems. “cough"story"cough”

The problem here isn’t the game itself it’s the lack of power of the console itself. If you wanted a graphical masterpiece and run constantly at 60fps the it’s got to go to the PC and only PC. Here 343 has sacrificed a lot of the graphical enhancements that games of 2015 have in order to keep it to 60fps. Keep blaming the developer for the drawbacks with the hardware in the console.

Hopefully, gen 9 will fair much better, but until than, we will need to deal with this for the time being.

Some people just don’t like the art style I suppose. I think the game looks great. Halo isn’t supposed to and never has had ultra realistic graphics. It’s always been colourful

Besides a lot of comments will be from ps4 fanboys who would be saying the same things about The Last of Us if that game was an xbox exclusive instead.

Exactly, out of all the shooters I’ve played on the Xbox One. Halo 5 has got to be the smoothest and best playing shooter on the One.

Keep in mind Fallout 4 doesn’t look graphically amazing either and a lot of us are eagerly waiting that.
