    Nobody was missing out on anything. All of 343s Halo games have been garbage, but Halo 5 takes the garbage cake home.

    The translation layer is awesome for every other game though.

      Halo 5 had a lot of problems. Bit it’s a damned masterpiece compared to Infinite.

      Halo 5 had great gunplay, Warzone Firefight was a blast, the Guardians were a great stand-in for the Halo rings, Cortana was an intimidating enemy by the end of the game, the lootboxes were actually better than the armor cores and marketplace from Infinite.

      There are A LOT of negatives in there too. But a lot of positives. Infinite is just a shitshow from the beginning.

          It’s in a more or less acceptable state now and I play it, but it sure doesn’t live up to the original 10 year live service promise.

          I have a lot of problems with it. Between the “story” and the copy-paste map. I would rather the game didn’t exist, because at least then they could make a follow up to 5’s end.

          I really don’t want to spoil your fun if you’re enjoying it though. A lot of the gameplay elements are fun to play around with.

    I can’t wait to play the proper Forza Horizon 2, and Crash Team Racing, curse you Activision for not bringing this one to PC!

    Well, of course not, because Wine Is Not an Emulator. Considering it’s called XWine1, would there be a Linux version too?

      I think that’s called proton (jokes aside yes I know steam wouldn’t do that for obvious legal implications.)

    Why would they, Xbox uses a version Windows and an x86 core + AMD GPU, bog standard parts, bog standard system, it’s easier to tap into the windows component on an x86 system and just use that to run the games. Making a proper emulator for games that would otherwise run on the PC natively just wouldn’t make sense.
