I will if it means I don't have to purchase another Xbox console. I think MS will eventually get the store to a better place.I was really excited when I heard that Xbox One games where coming to PC but I'm not buying games from the MS Store.

I mean, it's sales doubled since they acquired it (50 million to 100 million) which is just 2 years ago, and it is now the second highest selling game of all time. How much more could they have expected?
I dont disagree with you, however sometimes the story that gets approved (as a story) doesnt end up necessarily working particularly well as gameplay, so parts of it gets axed.
Its not always about who approves it.
Edit: Halo is made by a bunch of people, but yes i do agree that whoever is making the decisions is not doing a great job. Just look at BTB. Terrible fucking decision. One of the most played gametypes in halo since its inception im sure is practically dead now.

This would explain Microsoft's extremely aggressive W10 push lately.
I mean they did release minecraft story mode that seemingly did well and they already have a movie in developmentThey haven't exactly done anything new with the IP either - so if they become really desperate, they probably wouldn't have to do much more than release a minecraft 2 and a movie (with new merchandise).

To the point where they are tricking people to installing it

Some of this stuff is probably true like Halo 5 sales numbers not hitting expectations, but until other websites back up this article with sources, I have a hard time believing a lot of this article.

That's not an accomplishment. Making it even worse, that'd be a feat.
When I heard MS would bring their IPs to PC I was happy as well, but I haven't seen a game yet which makes me really want to switch.

Not really.It's also telling how the Halo 5 streaming community died pretty much immediately after the game came out. MS really wanted it to become a big e-sports hit. Remember that god awful fake e-sports section at the E3 presser?
damn i thought phil harrison would've been great for xbox's eu branch
looks like he was too enamored with mobile's games success at the time

Halo 5 is a great game. It's easily provided me more than 200 hours of gametime. Don't play campaigns at less than heroic difficulty and get good in MP. I'm level 98 in MP and it's the best feeling MP shooter this gen. It's arena though, not COD chopper killstreaks so this new generation doesn't like it as much as old school players who love the equal starts and power weapon control.

It took 3 months for Halo 5 to pass the million mark. That is awful for Halo standards.

Please also fire whoever wrote Spartan ops/ Halo 5. Dude is trash and unless something huge happened to the campaign during development he should be a story boarder at the absolute most, since halo 5 had cool ideas but they were expected awfully.
Also trash whoever designed the "big" Locke vs chief fight, because that was the selling point of the whole game and was terrible.
It's a collaborative team effort but the lead writer is a guy named Brian Reed whose previous works include Spider Man comics... You read that right... Spider Man comics...
So are we really surprised that Halo 5's story was basically incoherent?
I really want to know who wrote Hunt The Truth... That was magnificent. If the game delivered what HtT suggested then it would have been GOAT

Pretty sure it was the group over at the Ayzenberg Group who handled #HUNTtheTRUTH (http://www.ayzenberg.com/)
It was awesome, amazing, and I hope we see more. They won a ton of marketing awards for it as well (very deserving).
It sold 1.3m in one week in the US (Physical+Digital).It took 3 months for Halo 5 to pass the million mark. That is awful for Halo standards.

If there's any disappointment with Minecraft, it would likely be due to total revenue, not game sales. I'm constantly amazed at how well the game sells. But 2 1/2 billion dollars is a bunch of money, and they may have had unrealistic expectations about the brand outside of games.
That is not an indication of when Halo 5 sold a million copies.
Halo 5 did over 1M in the first few days at best.
That link says over 1M, at that point Halo 5 was probably nearer 3M or so.
That's really not what the article says, though.
It says :
http://news.xbox.com/2016/01/04/greatest-games-extends-to-2016/#Ocksv1IzTtLk3CP3.99
What?
Didn't it sell like 950K + another 350K digital by October NPD?
Another classic case of "let me google something I don't know about and present it without doing any research"
Bring it to WiiU? PSVita? Bring it to Oculus VR? Bring it to Hololens? Their own Windows store? Keep updating it? Making new mini-games for it currently? Sell 50mil copies?Have they done much, if any, with the IP since they bought Mojang for $2.5bn?
Considering they used the word 'over' means it would have been between 1M and 1.5M at that point. Anything more they would have stated so.
It did under 1M in its first NPD month.
It says sold over 1M during holidays, it also arrived during holidays.
Any links for that?
You know who the info came from right?
You wanna take a bet on whether Rare exists 6 months after Sea of Thieves? C'mon, if you're so haughty about that let's see if you're willing to throw down.
I mean, Stinkles just checked you on that. I'd say maybe don't double down?
He litterally has the receipts.
Wow you're doubling down on that.Considering they used the word 'over' means it would have been between 1M and 1.5M at that point. Anything more they would have stated so.
