I think that at the end of the day gameplay>graphics, no matter the game. The story might turn out to be bad/terrible, H5 already took the franchise in the wrong direction and they'll never be able to revert it, they can only continue from where it left or try to spin it in yet another direction, which might end up being even worse. Graphics might get better, might not, but if that's the price of 60FPS and smooth and responsive controls, then be it, because it's exactly the gameplay what will matters in the long-term, gameplay is why all of the great looking shooters die in less than a month, while Halo (or CoD) still stand tall, no mater the hate they get, people simply have fun playing those games, as they have with Minecraft and Fortnite who are faaar from being graphical benchmarks, and that's what ultimately matters, that's what video games are for in the first place. The guy in the video is IMO on point with the people who complain the most about the graphics aren't the targeted audience, most of those people are not even interested in the game at all to begin with, and many are simply trolling PS guys, (color me surprised). Realistically, Halo is a two-decade old franchise, most of its die-hard fans have grown up and play video games to a limited extent, or don't games at all anymore, so it needs to search for new, younger audience, and this happens to pretty much every long-lasting franchise sooner or later, and the old guards are always upset, but thet's just the way it works. Well as always, time will tell, a year from now we will have a clear view of how is the game doing, how many people play it.
