10 Biggest Video Game Disappointments Of The Generation
10. Halo 5
Halo 4 was a good, mostly safe, first step for new developer, 343 Industries. So expectations were high for the incoming sequel, especially because the marketing material depicted an epic clash of ideologies between Master Chief and Spartan Locke.
Instead of that epic showdown between Spartan leaders, we got another by-the-numbers Halo game, unlike anything in the marketing. Of course, gameplay was as tight as anyone would expect from the franchise, but that was about the only thing that made the game worth playing. If you're a Halo fan who loves the story and the lore, there's not much drawing you to Halo 5.
It's worth mentioning, Halo 5 is not a bad game overall, but it is the very definition of a disappointing one. If you harbour any doubts about this stance on Halo 5, just take Halo: Infinite as proof that it was not a success.
