Re: Halo 5 Limited details start to emerge....

: I refuse to pay $250 for a video game, I would almost be able to buy a new
: Xbox One for that price.

That's $75 bucks more than I paid for my XBone with the MCC. And the fact that they've had this preorder open without telling people what's in it? Sheesh... Only a moron would have preordered that at this point, and sadly, I'm sure they have hundreds (if not thousands) of preorders already, so what incentive do they have to make it truly worth the price?

: The only time I've ever gotten anything besides the standard game was for
: Reach and I was highly satisfied with that. Then again, I also knew what
: I was actually paying for in the box.

I didn't regret the Reach statue, because it was awesome and unique, and I still have it above the TV along my other memorabilia. And yet, it was kind of annoying to see stores trying to get rid of it at bargain-bin prices, despite the fact that "this time it'll be super-limited, we promise!"

Then there was the Halo 4 LE, which came with some cheap junk, so my hopes aren't too high for Halo 5's LE.

: After Halo 4 and the Master Chief Collection, I literally cannot take another
: "just trust us, you'll like it" risk with 343 Industries.
: They've got to earn my faith before they'll get anything but the basic $60
: from me.

... So they'll still get your money. Thar'll learn 'em.

: Halo 5 is definitely looking promising, but until I see more on Forge and
: Custom Games, I am not even preordering.

... So what you're... *sigh*

I dunno. The only reason that I am remotely hopeful for Halo 5 is that I need to buy at least a few games for the Xbone, otherwise it'll rot in uselessness like my Wii did (and as my PS3 did for years before good games started coming out for it). I have heard good things about Custom games and Forge (as well as bad ones, such as the inexplicably continued absence of Invasion), and Halo 2's Forge gives me some hope for the future (cue Paul McCartney hologram)... And I'm curious about the gameplay/storytelling aspects of the campaign, even if the Halo story is dead to me at this point (non-Bungie Halo is just really REALLY bad fanfic to me).

But screw that $250 package unless it's a wearable suit of armor, and not those stupid Halo 4 designs either...
