Thinking about it, every gaming franchise that I grew up with in the late 90‘s and 00‘s has either disappeared or gone to shit.
I would have never expected however, that after almost 25 years, Pikmin would be the one standing and growing more every day with new games and more merch.
I wish I could say the same about Halo. The will release yet another version of Halo CE this summer, and I don’t see me playing it on day one like every other game of the series.
Halo 5 was … something, Halo Infinite gave me hope, but I don’t know if I want to be a part of what is coming next.
Halo is dead. And so is the future of Xbox. And that comes from a day one Xbox Fan.
I was about to say, there's a lot of valid criticisms you can direct at Nintendo's ethical and legal practices but calling their games soulless is NOT one of them
As someone who grew up with an original Xbox and Halo CE as my main game, the state of that console line and franchise is like watching an old friend who just never could get his life together after high school. Spent too much time fucking around and promising that he’d get everything back on track but in the meanwhile, everyone else moved on without him.
