Amazed at the timeliness of this thread. Despite diminishing returns over time, I have always considered the Bungie Halo titles to be absolutely top notch in their genre.
I picked up Halo infinite for $20 a few weeks ago. I’ve put maybe 6 hours in to the campaign, and when I went to bed last night it really hit me that while Halo is not dead, it will never be a fraction of what it was during the glory days again. I’m sure many of you came to this conclusion after one of the previous middling 343 games, but Infinite was the 3rd try and I’m utterly bored of this game like the last two.
It also made me wonder why in the hell it is taking Microsoft so f’n long to bring an absolute killer app to the system. The 360 was my second favorite console of all time, and I’m old.
Wasn’t a Genesis man, so I don’t have a history with Sonic, but I’ve heard all the stages of grief regarding the franchise. I would agree with the Halo Sonic comparison, but the crazy thing is Frontiers actually has my attention for the first time.
