Microsoft Xbox news and discussion thread
Re: Microsoft Xbox news and discussion thread
I heard that Obsidian is supposedly revealing a new IP at this show, and there will be more news on Bleeding Edge as well. I assume the former will more likely be just a tease for something launching on the next gen, but it'll still be interesting to see what their first Microsoft-owned game will be.

Re: Microsoft Xbox news and discussion thread
Rumours are Halo Reach is launching later today.....
Re: Microsoft Xbox news and discussion thread
The main numbered games do have a narrative through-line, but story had never been especially important for enjoying the games. I'd say 3 and 5 might be kind of confusing if you haven't played 2 or 4 respectively, so those might be ones to avoid starting with. Reach might be a good place to start, being a prequel. I would say that at least 1-3 should be a priority though. The newer games aren't as well regarded, especially 5. The campaign of 4 isn't bad though.
Re: Microsoft Xbox news and discussion thread
I thought 5 was better than 4 myself, but yeah, ODST and Reach are the ones to play if you’ve not fussed about the through line.
More spoilers for later...

ODST I think, is my favourite Halo game.
It’s darker and grimier than the others, with a more engaging story I feel. I went back collected all the audio logs a while ago and found it padded out that story fantastically.
Then Halo 3 and Reach for me.
Halo 5’s MP is stella.

Re: Microsoft Xbox news and discussion thread
ODST is another that expects you to have played 2 to understand what the hell is going on. I like that one too, but I'm not as crazy about it as others. It's a neat off-shoot that tries some different things and has a really cool mood to it.
Re: Microsoft Xbox news and discussion thread
Reach is my favourite. I already have it so has it been GWG at some point?.
ODST was great too. Never played 1 or 2 finished 3, dabbled with 4 and never played 5.

Re: Microsoft Xbox news and discussion thread
Yakuza is available on Xbox? I always thought it was PS exclusive!
Re: Microsoft Xbox news and discussion thread
That's cool. There is getting less reason to go Sony next gen every time I hear more about Gamepass.
Re: Microsoft Xbox news and discussion thread
In no way justifying being an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate to myself the Games With Gold for December is pretty decent:

Jurassic World Evolution is great fun.
