I’m not even going to comment here, because there is nothing for me to say.

Maybe for you, but a lot of people have roommates or friends who live close enough to play in person (which is definitively the better experience, even with a smaller screen). If I were still in college, I’d hate this news. As it is, I play Mario Kart with coworkers on my lunch break at work — I’d be devestated if…

Terrible decision. I want to play with a person who lives with me? Better get another XBone, and hook them up on a decent TV. Uh-oh, I only have one HD TV in my house. Guess I’m not playing it with family or friends AT ALL.

Though it’s not outdated amongst people who have irl friends.

My girlfriend and I have been sitting on the couch playing through each of the Halo campaigns together, partially in anticipation of Halo 5. This killed one of my major fun factors for the game.

Splitscreen is still entirely necessary for people who like to play with their friends in the same room. I’d hardly called having local friends “outdated”.

Na... there is something magical about sitting next to your sibling/friend and head shot him right in the face. Local multiplayer isn’t going to disappear. The fact that sports game are so popular still is an evidence of that.

This is a major bummer. Splitscreen is the reason I buy things on consoles instead of on computer, and honestly I would buy the PC version in a heartbeat if splitscreen was included. It’s even more of a bummer that a game with a long history of splitscreen no longer has it (and yet even more of a bummer to hear people…

No, Halo fans do not “win” the lack of any real local MP is a terrible and ridiculous blow. How can I justify paying $60 for a MP heavy game if I cant play with my friends?!

They’ve explicitly said it’s not.

So they turned an ordinarily boring and hard to pay attention to in-flight warnings and educational video into something that people will action pay attention to.

Quit your bitching, they did a good job.

Waiting for some obnoxious dude with a 10TB HDD to come in and be like “lol optical discs”

My personal favorite:

Beadle is aces in my book. She made fun of it initially, decided to give it a chance, wound up liking some aspects of it, then cracked a few jokes about it.

I’d agree that the tech specs are miles behind what should be acceptable in 2015, but dammit if I don’t love my Wii U. Nintendo’s lineup is way too good to pass up. It may be basically a machine for first party games at this point, but I’ve had more fun with it this year than I have with anything else.
