play the games in release order. ODST is halo 3 DLC so play it after 3. play reach last, it's a very good send off for the series imo. don't waste your time with halo 4 & 5.


Bu-but Xbox One

Cant play Halo 5 anytime soon anyway with how stupid big it is (96 GB)

4 and 5 are pretty bad imo, with 5 being the worse game from what i played of it.

i really dont think 343 took the series in a good direction with either game. maybe you'll like them, who knows, but 4 & 5 completely killed my interest in the halo franchise


I'll reserve my judgment

People were saying the same thing whenever a new studio takes over a franchise and it's usually not too bad for me

There are too many fucking games that are too fucking big nowadays so time to trim them down

My queue is:

Order 1886 (31 GB)
Injustice 1 (story mode) (22 GB)
Doom 4 (76 GB what the flying fuck)
Resident Evil Revelations 1/2 (20/22 GB)
Uncharted Lost Legacy (48 GB)
Kingdom Hearts series (80 GB)

Total GB liberated: 300

It's nice to have an actual goal in playing; in this case freeing my bloody HDD up

They told me 2TB was plenty

Not when games can get as big as 125 GB (thanks Battlefield 1)

Skyrim and fallout 4 are fine on consoles. They even have some of the quality of life mods pc has.

Uber driver here.

I can't stand it when people sit directly behind me

Not only am I tall and therefore need ample space that will likely be bothering them but I also watch too many movies and assume the worst

I don't mind passenger seat but I usually keep my own stuff on it so I have to take it off all the time


Do you ever feel worried or intimidated by someone sitting in the passenger though?

I mean I tend to do it because I hate giving off the impression like I think I'm royalty, but I also don't want to encroach on your little space either.


Front seaters tend to me more social, which is cool. I noticed it's more common with certain cultures too

I get most nervous when a single passenger is sitting behind me, because that's my most vulnerable position.

You want 10 GB games?

Sure, but lets have mono sound files and music

512x512 textures

Optimise graphics at only 720p

Cheap looking assets

Oh but look now, gamers are going to complain because the game feels like a PS1 game because of it, but hey yall wanted games that are only 10gb large right?

You want 4K quality gaming? Expect large files, theres no way around it. Games have already been compressed

Source: I work in the field

I won't want 4k quality gaming though. Graphics are literally the least important part of a game, and if toning them down means a much smaller game, then tone them the fuck down

Are you sure Halo 5 is 96 GB? That sounds much more like the MCC.


That said, right now, Halo 5 is roughly as large as Halo 3, ODST, Reach, Halo 4, Spartan Assault, Halo Wars BC, Halo Wars DE, and Halo Wars 2 combined. Including all the DLC/map packs. Basically, every Halo game minus the MCC. Give or take a couple gigs ... or give or take Spartan Assault, really.
