After 11 years, Xbox One emulators are finally coming to PC - but they're not actually using emulation at all

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.
It's still important for video game preservation, no matter how crappy the games themselves might be.
Forza horizon 2 is the only game I can think of that I would use this for.
I was a big LAN player in the heyday of the original, even got through 4.
That trash game came with the xbone I bought for my wife and I still couldn’t play it.
343 just sucks at making good halo stories, great gameplay (on infinite atleast), but they just don't know where to take the story. I was disappointed in 4 skipped 5 and infinite was another halfbaked story that just felt empty.
Half of Halo 4 was the best Halo story. The other half of it was the worst Halo story.
343 is okay at making gameplay, but they are not good at making Halo gameplay. I mean, Halo 4 was just Call of Duty with Halo window dressing. And it makes sense because 343 was so proud to announce that they hired people who hate Halo to work on Halo. Well look how that turned out.
They capitulate too much.
As the other reply said, half the (H4) game was good. But they listened to the haters and changed up H5 dropping or rehashing the majority of things from H4. Then they capitulated again and threw everything out for H6 and gave us essentially H7 in all but name.
Years spent bringing everything to a head for 6 with Cortana, the Guardians, even Halo Wars. Then it’s all confined to audio logs.
I want to finish that damn story 343. Not whatever the fuck Infinite was.
Yea infinite was strange because the whole thing was like a prologue
Isn't that true of all Halo games though? I've only played 1 and 2, but the writing in those was just not good at all. I can't imagine subsequent games being even worse.
I couldn't get through Halo 4's campaign when it was released as part of the MCC, nor was I able to get though Halo Infinite's (it wasn't bad, just... meh; nowhere near as good as the Bungie campaigns but not trash either, just not as good). I would still like the option to play Halo 5 on PC just so I have the ability to play the main campaign, plus I've heard it's the best multiplayer Halo? But yeah. Even if I never actually play it, it's nice to have the option.
On a tangential note, I think 343's Halo games would have been considered good if it wasn't for Bungie's Halo. I don't think their campaigns are honestly bad, per se (though again, haven't tried to play H5), they're just bad in comparison to the "OG" games.
Pew pew pew!
