Worth it to get Xbox One for Halo?

Satlen

Hello fellow members!  I was just curious to what you guys think of getting a xbox one mainly for halo and other console exclusives.  I already have a pretty good gaming PC so I dont need people telling me to get a PC instead.  I am just a really big halo fan and cannot decide if it is worth it.  I would also get destiny and cod just because they are good console games to chill on the couch and play.  I would still buy story games and what not on PC.

It's up to you. I say go for it though, consoles are better at providing a laidback gaming experience IMO.

 

I am going to get an Xbox One for Forza Motorsport 5, Horizon 2 and Forza Motorsport 6, along with the Halo Master Chief Collection personally.

If you have more of a disposable income, then yes.
otherwise no.

If you love Halo, most definitely, especially for Master Chief Collection. If you're in it for Halo, you'll effectively have 6 Halo games on it. Plus any other exclusive that may come up that interests you.

This coming from someone who currently doesn't own an Xbox One yet.

I gotta say "no not really" personally I had quite a hard time with H4 (The sadness) & after watching some live streams on twitch & videos on youtube about the Destiny & H4.5 Guardians I really think that the interactions in-game are very poor on console. Even every current PC title has poor interactions with in-game objects (Oculus ain't good imo) I digress.

 

We'll have to see whether it's a worth buy when demo's are out.

Looking at the recent trend of "exclusive" titles, especially on the XBONE, it might be worth waiting a bit. Maybe we'll see a PC release a few months after release.

I agree with Antistatic12, only get it if you have disposable income (or a die hard Halo fan), then yes. If you're tight on the budget,  then save your money for something else like the next round of nvidia / amd gpus if you need an upgrade.

I have an xbox one, currently have Forza 5, ryse son of rome, and cod ghosts (for the boyfriend). That is all I have at the moment on the X1. When Halo master chief collection hits, I will be getting it. When Halo 5 is released, I will be buying it. I will also be getting Sunset overdrive, which looks like an awesome and fun game. If you want an Xbox one, I say pick one up. I would be surprised if Halo ever comes to PC again.

If you are a big Halo fan, guess you have no choice, wait until Halo 5 i really dont see the point right now only for Halo remakes.
