Delaying Halo 5 is a good thing?

I bet it was rough for a lot of Halo 5 fans to hear that this game will be delayed and will now launch in 2015. Especially when first they said that the game will launch in 2014, I guess some people already had doubts but when the developers say it will launch in 2014 then you have a bit of faith in that. But now the latest news is that the game will launch in 2015, which means a lot of disappointed fans. Which seems quite understandable, but is it really such a bad thing?


More time to develop a game means that it will be better? That´s what you would think and I do think that it´s safe to assume that, eventhough it´s not always true. But I do have faith that 343 will make the most of this extra time and make Halo 5 an epic game! Why do they need more time? Well they said that they want to make the game as good as possible for the Xbox One and since this will be the first Halo game for the new console they want to bring the maximum of capabilities to the table, so the game will be everything you´d expect from a next generation title! I guess we´ll have to wait and see if that´s true...


Not everyone is happy about this news, which makes sense of course! But a lot of these negative voices come from people that hate Halo 4 and bring that same negativity to Halo 5, they want things to be like Halo 2 or 3 as if those games are the greatest games ever. News flash, they´re not! Oh sure those are great games but not the greatest games ever, but anyone is welcome to think so. The problem is that what some people think is true then suddenly has to count for everyone else. Another news flash, that´s not how it works! I do think a lot of people that are looking forward to Halo 5 understand why the game is delayed and will be patient about it, I just hope that it´s not going to take that much longer because it would suck if we have to wait till September in 2015 for the game to launch!


The game is now called Halo 5 Guardians and what that means is still a mystery to me, but I do think that the new and enhanced Master Chief might have something to do with that. If you played Halo 4 then you know that Master Chief got an upgrade, so maybe he´s now more than your average mortal? Ok as a Spartan he already was that, but I think this upgrade made him even more than that. So the Guardians were a group of warriors that protected something or maybe even someone? Maybe this upgrade will make Master Chief the first human in a long time to be able to become a guardian? Ah I´m probably thinking too much about it and seeing things that aren´t even really a key in Halo 5. Anyway I hope that the game will be awesome and until it will launch we´ll just have to be patient!

Button bashing

It seems that more and more games want you to smash on the buttons of the controller, which seems like fun but knowing that this weak piece of plastic can´t handle much it´s not the smartest way to handle your controller. In the good old arcade days I could smash on buttons, ok nothing too crazy but at least those machines had a lot more resilience than these weak controllers we have now. You have to pay a small fortune for one of them and they fall apart with the slightest bit of force you use. After smashing a couple of controllers out of frustration I learned to be careful with them, but when games force you to be an agressive button basher it doesn´t really help. Button bashing is nothing new but I do seem to see it in more and more games, even games that could easily do without this abusive way of treating your controller. Instead of button bashing people came up with the idea to press a certain series of buttons in a sequence, I first saw this in God of War which was fun. But s...

Movie Monday: Mr & Mrs Smith

There are movie that might not look good at first, when you hear about it, but once you see the movie then you know that it's a fantastic movie. What really made Mr & Mrs Smith so good was the acting of the two main stars in the movie, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. They had so much fun making this movie that it's an absolute joy to watch the movie. Which is good news for people that are looking for a fun movie to watch! Married to a spy? The story of Mr & Mrs Smith is pretty simple, a man is a spy and marries to a woman not knowing that she's a spy too. Apparently both of them are unaware of eachothers activities until their paths cross in their spy life, which leads to a lot of fighting and explosions. It's really not the action that makes this movie so much fun to watch but it's the humour. Mr & Mrs Smith is the type of movie that shows that a movie can be ten times better when the actors are actually enjoying themselves making this movie, instead ...

Sinful Sunday: Why are you so serious?

When I play a game I don't want to be serious, I just want to have fun and relax. Honestly real life is serious enough and I don't need that in games. Who cares who wins or who loses, just have fun and that already makes it great! Unfortunately there are gamers that take certain games way too serious, so serious that they literally forget to have fun which is quite frustrating to deal with. These kind of players are so serious that they probably left the fun behind when they started the game. Sigh... Serious gamers are lame gamers? There is nothing wrong about being serious, but I think there is a time and a place for everything. When I play a game with my friends then I'm not being serious nor am I serious when I start up some random multiplayer match. Sure it's nice to win but it's not everything! Things become more serious when there is something at stake, for example in ranked matches or during a tournament. I understand that things are more serious there an...
