AwkwardKnob posted:This guy acting like Halo as a franchise wasn't created and sustained by dorm rooms full of dudes playing split-screen instead of doing homework. Heady days they were. Ah the halcyon days of a bunch of dudes in a room, several tons of CRT's, and miles of ethernet cable. Even when Live was a thing the LAN was still king (oh you brought a cable? goddamnitt it's not a crossover we told you about this gently caress it lets goto walmart).

Laserface posted:Halo is moving more towards e-sports, I wouldnt be surprised if they ended up stripping back Forge or removing it in the future. Local multiplayer is a relic from the time before Christ, it's obsolete when there's a robust online service with minimal downtime. It's not like they would ship their flagship series with completely broken online play or matchmaking.

MickRaider posted:Halo 6 is gonna happen even if everyone hates the poo poo out of halo 5 because it's still gonna sell millions of copies They've got at least two lovely sequels left until the series is abandoned, then resurfaces as a free to play tower defense game. One thing I will give Halo, there has yet to be an outright bad one, just Killzone levels of mediocrity at worst.

Booties posted:I imagine they reached their story board deadline at the last second, putting lines of shredded paper together like the little child-laborers in Fargo. Ben Affleck is literally the masterchief right now. Slapping poo poo together at the last second defines Halo, Bungie just somehow managed to throw out a great multiplayer experience for the time. Only the third one felt like an actual finished game.

ethanol posted:yea but what if it's good, preordered Compelling viral ad campaign is compelling. I still never understood why anyone expected anything great from Bungie. Marathon and Myth were decent for their time, the original Halo Macworld trailer was pretty neat even though gently caress all from it made it into the finished game, everything else they've done is straight up unfinished or incredibly mediocre.

Laserface posted:they cant do this because 343 already made the MP part of the plot, because that was what fans were craving more than anything - a reason why red is fighting blue. Making a good game is hard, writing some bad Halo fanfiction and tacking it onto multiplayer isn't. 343 has no real creative or artistic vision, just continuing to collect a paycheck from Microsoft is it. I don't recall who originally said that but it summed up MS's in house studios perfectly.

When the last thing you saw of Master Chief was him being "undressed" and this: I've met people that have unironically held such opinions. Excuse us all for not lining up at the media trough and absorbing every last angstrom of dumbshit lore for a disposable consumer product.

They missed a prime opportunity to double dip when they killing LAN/splitcreen. The thing is already useless without live so that's a near guaranteed $60 annual fee already, add that to someone buying 3 Bonetrollers and the quarterly cost of replacement and they could make the division profitable. There might even be someone out there mad with syphilis willing to buy 3 Elite Controllers.

spudsbuckley posted:LOlL is that on the 360? That's being harsh, it's really pretty close to a 2011-ish PC Game like Dues EX: HR. That said, they're clearly putting that dynamic resolution to work to deliver stunning half decade old PC visuals. The ability to climb on poo poo and everything cribbed from Titanfall looks interesting enough, but it's probably not Halo.

I see more binning from Crysis and just adding poo poo for the sake of it than anime. Either way it's pretty lame, but admittedly not as bad as something like Killzone wholesale ripping off the ballistic armor from the Jin-Roh animes (or Japanimation if you will). It's probably the only series more creatively bankrupt than any 343i travesty.

But you see, looking really loving stupid while fighting is canon . My favorite thing is the briefing setting it up like a covert ops mission, drop behind enemy lines and rescue Dr. Taintsmear or something *drops in the middle of a goddamn gigantic battle on a mountain* .

Mick you know drat well they're going to gently caress up all the things that actually matter, the stupid intro is just another turd on top of the dung heap. They probably could have fixed the actual good games in MCC for 1/8th of what that overproduced cinematic probably cost.

Laserface posted:There is no reason why hyper future soldier vs space aliens can't be a story on the same level as TLoU and to dismiss it in that manner is pretty loving shilly. Halo was never Dostoevsky, but under Bungie it at least gave a compelling enough reason for why you were a unique unstoppable killing machine for reasons other than "because you are the player duh." As far as videogame stories go it wasn't terribly pandering or insulting and had a distinct narrative. Completely dismissing that element leaves you with Titanfall, and nobody loving remembers or plays Titanfall despite its pedigree and an ad campaign rivaling the GDP of most countries.

Laserface posted:Lol is there a single unique factor of Halo 5 or is all just a mash of loving 2014 shooters More visors and guns obscuring the screen to maintain the framerate than other titles? It tickles me that they ripped off Titanfall's burn cards assuming that feature would actually be a successful thing.
