Destiny 2 is a very good game. The trick is not to listen or believe anything Bungie says and just take the game as-is.

Gez the latest halo game came out Feb 21 2017. They need to stop beating a dead horse. Like just let the series die for a few years and then revive it.

Like just let the series die for a few years and then have a few devs break off and crowdfund a spiritual followup to Halo that ends up being a disappointing mess, and they never get around to releasing the Vita version they promised

you can probably pin that all on the xbone failing, it's easier to forget what did and didn't come out when it's on systems you have zero intention of every buying

MGS1 was special in that way that makes you question the nature of reality.

MGS3 was special in that way that makes you feel very bad for the runner. But afterward there was singing and that kind of made up for it.

This isn't all vehicles, just this level. They're at, uh, I think like a rebel human faction base? I'm trying to remember the story but seriously it sucks and has boring non-combat hubs for no goddamn reason

So is there even a halo in this game? I thought the halo blew up or some poo poo after being used on the flood.

I'm pretty hazy on the story of halo these days.

periodic update: despite being only two thousand behind earlier today, we are now a whopping $40k behind agdq 2017, but $20k ahead of agdq 2016.

probably not coincidentally, the tetris block just finished at this point in '17, which almost assuredly fueled a bunch of donations.

Yeah, it's all the same poo poo with hardly anything new. I've played through 5 of these and they're so god drat homogenous I can think of various parts of each game in my head by couldn't tell you at all which games they're from. Like, if Halo scratches that itch you're good with what they release but if you want something that changes up the formula, Halo ain't the series to play for that.
