Spoiler:

New category for Yahtzee so you can't really compare it to last year's awards, but yeah, Halo 5: Turdians was named the blandest of the bland for 2015. It shares the title with games like Assassin's Creed Syndicate, Rise of the Tomb Raider, and others I can't remember and can't be bothered to watch the video again to see because, well, bland.Interestingly enough, my two favorite games this year, Elite: Dangerous and Undertale, made number 2 and 1 respectively on the "Best of" spot.And I hear you, raging fanboys angered by this topic's very existence ruining your 343i-teet-sucking-session, Yahtzee is a PC gamer above all and Halo is just the sort of big franchise title that's so very easy to bash from a PC gamer's perspective-- but as someone who's not a PC gamer and has played every single Halo and has mostly enjoyed every single Halo (up until now), I have to agree. The game does very little to add something new and refreshing to the franchise, just rehashed gimmicks from other FPS titles. Not to mention the content that made Halo, well, Halo, and not Space Call of Duty Advanced Armored Sociopathic Space Marine Warfare, is oddly missing from the game. More than half the gametypes that worked very well with Halo's sandbox have gone missing without so much as a "Have you seen this gamemode?" label on the side of a milk carton. Plus you can throw any idea of this Halo being another Halo with couch co-op or LAN parties into the crapper, because it has neither. Oh what's that? Your internet down or Lizard nerds being Lizard nerds again? I'll just play Forge until--- ohhh wait nevermind it's online-only.My friend started sounding like a parent worried about their depressed teenage child, because he keeps telling me "It gets better." I'm having a hard time believing that though. Every time I look at 343i's recent business practices I don't get a sense of "We hear you," but instead "I can't hear you over the millions you already gave to us, suckers". We get free monthly updates which basically means "This game was not finished at launch so we're adding stuff over time and calling it free," but even those updates feel hollow. People have made list after list and "demand" after "demand" on things the whole community would like to see come to this game in the future and we've gotten very few of it. Instead we get a fix or two here and there for things like the atrocious aiming or file sharing, but the bulk of these updates seems like things they've planned for a while and don't actually fix any of the problems with the game. Several of the 'new' maps were shown pre-release either as concept art or promotional material (I'm looking at you Battle of Noctus), and I'm sure more "remix" maps are to come which have nothing to do with the lack of gametypes or social aspects that the game sorely...well...lacks. More randomly-"earned" cosmetics and weapons instead of actual requirements and ways to get them (I'm looking at you Achilles Armor; a step in the right direction but we need a lot more done like this and not just for the new stuff going forward).Voice your blind defenses with the age-old "That's just your opinion" line or agree with a smash of that like button. And discuss if you agree with Yahtzee or not and why, and please try to use common sense with your responses.
