I started playing that today too. Loving it so far.

A week later: verdict?

Freaking AWESOME!!!

God dammit iPoke I'm trying *not* to buy a console over here :v

give in to the console side, you know it to be your destiny

>8O

\ :v /

Buying a console for a game you only see art to is a bad decision anyway, so I'm not feeling the least bit guilty, because I know you're a reasonable guy ... except for, you know, that furry thing you do ... that's just ridiculous <.<

ikr? \ v: /

I HNNNNNNNNNNNNGED so hard man, so hard.

Haha X3 you got a chance to play, or?

Yup! played and beat it, I wont spoil anything.

Personally it could have been better, not saying its -bad-, but it could ahve been better.

Oh I was through by the time I uploaded this X3

I figured! I meant I didnt' want to spoil it for anyone else XD

We can talk more about on skoop if ya like!

Sure. I'm actually hoping to get a moment for commissioned art again one of these days 9.9 it's all I can do to art a little bit to stay sane

I need to catch up on those. Last one I played was 2.

I'll say this much; H3 I definitely recommend to play, just to close the story arc and ODST for the characters. Everything after that has a bit of a fan-fic-y taste to it, but apart from screwing up H4, it's still entertaining.

I absolutely love the 'epic space opera'-ness of Halo and 2. Hearkens back to the sci-fi I cut my teeth on as a lil' cub. I had a pile of 40s-50s-60s era sci-fi pulpbooks and the feel of Halo is like that.

I just wish they'd port all of 'em to PC.

I've heard they're considering it for the future. Not sure whether this goes for Halo5 aswell, but I can definitely say it brings back a bit of that Halo 2 feel with its story telling

Ahh, cool.

Is the Potato Sack Spartan better than Halo 4?

There never is a potato sack spartan, so yes X3 it's what I feel H4 should have been.

Me and my friends played it today and we agree that it's not the BEST Halo campaign, but it's much better than the last couple.

Yup, I agree. Not the best, but definitely a good deal up from the last game.

Wish they'd bring it to PC so I could play it.

No way in hell am I shelling out for an XBONE just for one game.

Can't blame you there. I likely wouldn't have gotten a ONE either if there weren't at least a few titles I was interested in.

That's the reason I got a 360, because I wanted to continue the Halo story (played the first game on PC ) but the only way to do that was a game console. Thought "well, there's bound to be more games I like enough to get" and so it went. Trouble is, there AREN'T many games that I like enough to buy for console, I'd rather play them on my gaming PC, since it generally is better in every way (because I overbuild).

I think this time I'll just watch the story on youtube and save the $500 that the game and console would be.

Oooh, looks great! And I totally thought it had something to do with your Si’itians from the thumbnail :)

Heh, I've been accused of similarities before, but I'm not planning on including forerunner floaty elements with the si'itians just yet. However, I have decided that I will include my H4LO head-canon as a story element, once I start working on my sci-fi Universe story

OOoooh. Well, I'm looking forward to that! :)

I don't have an Xbawks but I stopped caring about Halo after 3 came out.

Neat art.

That's well enough and probably the better decision ^^

Thank you :3

So, is Halo #35 worth it? :P The Xbone definitely isn't worth any amount of money IMO with all of its data collection and spying tech (Kinect)...

Seems like Halo is becoming the Final Fantasy of the modern age. Nobody understands what's going on anymore unless you've been a die-hard fan since original release (on the Xbox, since it's actually a PC game that got stolen by the Microsoft Xbox team)

*shrug* Regardless, it's still work more than a PlayStation, but then that's not hard. I didn't get the Kinect extension and I wont either X3

As for it's sequellage; FF still has sequely coming out and is a lot older than Halo, so I'm not sure the comparison applies, but personally I feel there's nothing wrong with a series that spans its story over multiple games, so long as they do it well. Hence why H4 miffed me so bad X3 and it 'was' released for PC.

God damn... the guys on the next gen consoles seem to really be pulling out all the stops lately... far too many games on my wishlists for those consoles now.

They're worth getting IF you really want to be playing them, but unless it's a major passtime, don't bother until they're cheaper

I think Ill be waiting regardless. Money issues and whatnot.

That's a damn fine piece right there.

Thanks Tanek ^^

O_O Awesome/....

Thank you ^^

Hey any chance for a pic on Admiral 117 leading the Resistance from Infinity?

If they keep to canon, they wont go there. Spartans can't be promoted above enlisted ranks, or at least those of the Spartan II Generation can't ... I really hope they don't change that =.=

ANGRY SPACE JESUS IS NOT PLEASED

But seriously, Sins of a Solar Empire beat them to this space craft design like years ago.

*shrug* there's bee numerous itterations of similar craft designs throughtout gamign history, but it doesn't make Sins a game worth playing any more or less

Just watched the intro to this and... Huh. One of these characters is not like the others. One of these characters is different.

Now where have I seen him before? It's on the tip of my tongue...

Now I do have to ask which one you mean, cuz all of them are, to the extent of humans, different to the others ;b

Mr Firefly

XD Yeah, I had to double back and make sure on that too ... funny how the character gained weight, but slimmed down as a Spartan

So... you like it?

Oh yeah, definitely. Enjoyed it a lot more than H4LO at any rate. Got a few nitpicks to make, but I think I'll adress it all in a written review

But one thing that should be on everyone's mind would you take out the master chief or would try to bring back Cortina but doing so will bring destruction.

If they tried to make a good Vs evil or personal Vs important lesson here...
They failed miserably.

Game-play wise is not bad but its the same recipe from Halo 3 and 4, reach spot, kill everyone in sight, move to next spot, kill everyone in sight, repeat.

The only lesson here so far.
Treat your washing machine with respect or one day it will turn against you and try to destroy humanity.

I don't think either of those two lessons are applicable or attempted in any way shape or form, which is a shame, to an extent.

As for the gameplay; that's the formula for every HALO game, ever :b the only thing that changes is your abilities to do so ... like being able to dual wield (not since H3) or the booster engines, etc.

"Everything that promised it would be. "

Except for the trailers where false advertising. The whole "#Huntthetruth" campaign was total hogwash.

Never caught that campaign, but then they don't do a whole lot of advertising over here :<

yeah, Halo games adversiting are always different from the actual games.

However, I actually liked the Series Hunt the Truth. Not only It gives backstory to Jhon to anyone who don't read The Fall of Reach, but it also gave an interesting POV from a civilian.

If anyone is looking for someone to play Halo 5 with, hit me up on xboxlive! gamertag is Lord Falara^^

Dat cliff hanger though... had halo 2 flashbacks...

Aye, definitely, but I'm glad they did that ... and I really hope they don't 'just' conclude it with H6. With a little luck, they can make it work for another two games, asuming they story writers don't screw up again X3

Well, they call it the reclaimer saga now, so it might not end in the next one.

Just hope they get rid of Brian Reed. That guy just don't belong to Halo at all

Well, he didn't screw up too bad this time around. There's oddities and a few canon breaks, but I acredit them more to 343 as a whole than just to a single writer, given that they thought they were a good idea when he was just co-writer.
