About what about Reach, 4 and 5? I haven't played any of those yet!

I think you're exaggerating with the £1.99 bit, @NEStalgia .... Especially with 10 games! Although I'm curious which ones those would be for either next console?

@Dezzy Reach is strange in that when it first came out it was loathed. I mean Paper Mario and the Thousand Sticker Door level loathed.

And then somehow it's noe everyone's favorite Halo. I haven't actually finished it yet... And i got it launch day... . But it plays different from 2 and 3 and odst. I'm not sure I'd say it's"not linear" but it's more open, yes.

4 and 5.... They're 343, not bungie. It's not that they're bad, it's just that they're.... They lack that bungie pizzaz that's in the others (and in destiny, just beneath the Activision ponzi design.)

Personally I'm looking forward to getting back to reach... I've always felt guilty for not finishing it back on 360!

@BruceCM just a bit........

Well if plus and gold are any indicator, the 10 ps5 games would be ps4 exclusives that everybody already bought for $15 and some dlc with window dressing. For XSeX, the games would be a bunch of indies nobody's ever heard of plus , crackdown 3 enhanced edition and 3 months of gamepass ultimate.

@NEStalgia

Where's best to play Reach? I was gonna go 2->3->ODST->Reach->4->5

@Dezzy That's one of the best approaches (the other is Reach before CE).

Lols, you so cynical, @NEStalgia .... Still, I'll get both next consoles if they're £2 each!

@Dezzy It's a personal preference thing. I personally like to play series in release order... That, to me, is how the writers intend it, where you come to the game with certain knowledge and assumptions and they play on that. Plus with games, the gameplay changes assume that as well.

Otoh some people prefer chronological story other.... Which means you should have done reach first, it's a prequel to the series

Release order means play it 2, odst, 3, reach.

Edit: plus odst has Nathan Fillion making it, objectively, the best Halo.

ODST was definitely after 3.

2 - 2004
3 - 2007
ODST - 2009
Reach - 2010
4 - 2012
5 - 2015
Infinite - 2021 or later

Chronological order:
Reach
CE

ODST (occurs during Halo 2, start of ODST is just after Halo 2's Metropolis)
3
4
5
Infinite

ODST was after 3? Huh, I swore I remember the order being reversed.....faulty memory, I suppose.

Don't forget to buy your Halo Infinite Monster Energy Dink a year before Halo Infinite exists! time travel isn't just for Animal Crossing anymomore...

Well, game was named "Halo 3: ODST"...

@Justifier

"Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes"

Doesn't automatically mean it's after the main game.

Anyone getting Forza Horizon 3 before it's taken off digital stores? I bought it for the Hot Wheels dlc, but it turns out the base game is also awesome.

Why are they taking it offline?

Octane

NEStalgia

@Octane Brand licensing for the cars (and/or Hot Wheels) expiration. Forza games always have fixed availability of, what, 4 years? 5? Something like that. It's Horizon 3's licensing limit which is why Horizon 4 released last year. Motorsport 7 should expire next year which is why Motor Sport 8 is being made now.

They tend to sell them at ridiculously low prices and/or give them as freebies on Gold right before they discontinue them, so you can always count on buying an old Forza game for peanuts if you don't care that it looks remotely new anymore.

Wonder why there's not more online disapproval about Forza games getting delisted so quickly. Plenty of other racing games with more cars that are older can still be purchased but the forza games only get a few years. I bought the FH3 bundle a couple of weeks ago on the off chance that I'll one day have a device to play it on one day. Just weird there's not more backlash but ah well.

Been playing a bit of Recore last few days and it's a fun little game. Definitely starting to get pretty repetitive but I'm enjoying it for the most part. Wonder if they'll do a follow up to it.

So, just in case anyone was hoping for anything on Series X|S at Tokyo Game Show ..... They've tweeted to say there won't be anything for those
