That’s it we’re banning players like “yamumsadog”

I don’t know if I can ever recover from the teabag ban

[forest lagoon]

If it wasn't for h3 crouching upon kill I may have never gotten married

[livid oyster]

I didn’t even have time to give my last teabag

[smoky token]

really?

do tell

[ocean herald]

Maybe if we rebrand the teabag into a more family friendly thing it can be unbanned

[forest lagoon]

H3 was how I met my husband. He kept stealing my kills (and there weren't assist points at the time)

So I kept trying to use him as bait and id taunt him when he died

[livid oyster]

I think this ends the debate that h3 was indeed the best halo

[fickle drift]

It is not

[ocean herald]

I bet halo reach caused some divorces

[forest lagoon]

(our dad's worked together and we met through squadding up in a party)

[livid oyster]

Love the story

[smoky token]

cute

[fickle drift]

The best halo is the one you enjoy the most

[livid oyster]

Skyfi just confirmed it. The debate is over

[ocean herald]

Idk finding a life partner/spouse is a pretty high bar

[fickle drift]

Spartan Assault is the best, I do not care about lovey dovey matchmaking stories!

[livid oyster]

Not lovey dovey, that relationship was founded on anger

Did I mention he corrected my grammar?

well, for the most part

some prelates are still around

but for the most part all the san’shyuum either fled or were executed

[lapis ivy]

Were some of san'shyuum good or all bad?

[cedar turret]

There was one legendary prophet who was both good and deserving of worship.

[lapis ivy]

Like not all the prophets had anything against humanity for example

Except for truth mercy and regret

[smoky token]

those were hierarchs

prelates were augmented san’shyuum who were hooked up to chemical injectors

i just realized skewer is a gun that just shoots giant nails

literal nails but comically large

It’s probably the slowest weapon to use I think

and it cant even one shot a jackal shield

Good Morning Spartans!

[fickle drift]

Are there any recommended servers for MCC ranked like, at all?

[fickle drift]

Due to all the layoffs and contractor work the team has to basically move over to infinite to help support it as the newest halo game, while mcc has a skeleton crew which maintains bug fixes and performance issues

At least that’s my interpretation, whoever is on the skeleton crew for MCC might as well be a skeleton because the game is on its deathbed lol

[snow kindle]

bunch of trashcans in this server

[wary dove]

All I need is halo 5 in mcc so some people will come online to play the game

It’s impossible to find a game in servers for Asia

wtf is that spartan

[obsidian wyvern]

that i dont know lol

wait the visor is cracked, never seen that

[brave prairie]

Last level of odst is so annoying on LASO. Glad I got it done tho

[meager linden]

The only cracked visor I saw was from Halo 5 master Chiefs visor, Kate and Noble from Reach, that's all of them

[meager linden]

Looks really good
It's even weird to see a cracked visor

[obsidian wyvern]

turns out it was summer faze visor

Looks like Kat wasn't the only one who got lobotomized.

Too dumb an action right??? Just cant find them. And maybe some of you here knows...

[civic walrus]

how did you get that attachment on that helmet?

Hmm

[candid solar]

They just softly backend patched it so you could.

[wild sleet]

[candid tusk]

It's needle time. 💪

[obsidian wyvern]

i expect to see kat cosplayers everywhere

[pulsar cobalt]

People play btb to have fun I wouldn't take that mode seriously

[round laurel]

There's also the issue that BTB has looser skill matching, so bad players just get stomped by good players grouped up.

[obsidian wyvern]

thinking 40d js better is wild

i dont believe you can hsve fun dying 40 times in a match ngl

i dont understand how some youtubers who are at a much higher level than me get lobbies like that when i almost never do lol

[candid solar]

Flashback to the time where I was like 20 feet from mowing down Mint with a mongoose only for an entirely random enemy to hit me with a dynamo.

I'm not salty (She is)

[obsidian wyvern]

a name comes to mind

[ocean herald]

I avoid playing btb solo because it’s always such a mixed experience. Either my team is just goofing off and/or you have 2-3 people just hunting for kills instead of playing the objective

[obsidian wyvern]

if you have me on your team you still have somebody goofing off lol

[ocean herald]

With a team at least you’re in on the goofing off lol

[normal owl]

Same. If it's a social game, then it ain't that serious.

[obsidian wyvern]

aye

[ocean herald]

With a squad btb is a lot more fun

[obsidian wyvern]

we should get the group back together this weekend

[ocean herald]

I’d be down. When does the infection mode thingy come out?

[obsidian wyvern]

"in a few weeks" 2 weeks ago. maybe next week?

i assume itll be before the next op, so sometime within the next 3 weeks

Via: @MatPiscatella/ Circana

Twitter · May 14, 2024, 5:09 PM

why is it exceeding expectations, no one is supposed to be a fan of it

[fickle drift]

is this a phone combined with a controller cut in half?

[obsidian wyvern]

worse really

[ocean herald]

lol I’m one of the few that bought it

[candid tusk]

I could see families getting it for when people want to game and watch something on TV at the same time.

Or play in bed.

[ocean herald]

I tested playing from my mom’s house (my ps5 is on a wired connection at my house) and it worked pretty well

[candid tusk]

Oh. I hadn't realized it worked even off of a local network. That's interesting.

[ocean herald]

The biggest benefit honestly though is being able to free up your tv if someone else wants to watch tv and you want to game

For me at least

[candid tusk]

Yeaaah that was the first thing to come to mind.

[ocean herald]

You just need a good connection on both ends so there’s not bad input lag

[obsidian wyvern]

200 for something your phone could do better is wild

[candid tusk]

I appreciate your "not bad" qualified. lol

[ocean herald]

I do question why even invest in such a thing instead of just producing a fully fledged handheld like the psp

[obsidian wyvern]

every time we sold one at work wed laugh

[ocean herald]

I know you can stream ps games to your phone but I thought that library was limited. Could be wrong, I don’t remember honestly

[obsidian wyvern]

im like 100% sure remote play is on ps as well

[ocean herald]

Yeah you can. It’s the ps remote play app

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah so isnt it just all the games you have, same as the portal?

[ocean herald]

You can buy the backbone if you want a handheld experience or you can just use a ps controller

[ocean herald]

Yeah I think so

[round laurel]

Dads.

[obsidian wyvern]

which is why i dont understand the product lol. shouldve just gone with this aa u said

[obsidian wyvern]

there was a shocking amount of teenagers that came in by themselves to buy it tbh

[ocean herald]

Yeah it’s demographic is very small

[fresh turtle]

Good morning everyone!

[ocean herald]

I like it over using my phone for a few reasons but if I was strapped for cash I wouldn’t advise getting it

[round laurel]

I can see the appeal if you're sharing a TV with your siblings or something.

[obsidian wyvern]

i guess, but then again there is your phone lol

i have a feeling a lot of people also thought it was just a ps version of a handheld console, not realising it was just remote play

[candid solar]

I'm hoping that they aren't taking the lack of people apparently buying the weapon models as a sign that people don't want weapon models.

Because like, the only reason I've never bought a weapon model for this game is the fact I think the bundle arrangements involving them are ridiculous.

[round laurel]

Well, what do people say when they return them?

Or do they have a low return rate?

[obsidian wyvern]

i didnt work at the shop long enough to find out lol, i think i stopped working a week after it came out

[round laurel]

Oh right lol

[fickle drift]

Wild that they went from the Vita, with the best form factor for a handheld imo, to this mess.

[vapid siren]

it looks like a bird that a kid draws in a class art project

mcdonalds logo lookin aahhh silhouette

badabaabaabaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[obsidian wyvern]

i cant find the tweet again but i think to buy like all 5 of the banished guns, itd cost you have $100

https://vxtwitter.com/exclamation_mok/status/1790620736199012669?t=8mRrQqaLPaqymaAJ6n4UYw&s=19

also that br barely resembles the br lol

[shy mantle]

is there a place where i can join clans and stuff

[fickle drift]

#1076334026090094602

[fickle drift]

There’s an argument to be made I think that when it looks like an entirely different weapon, the design might’ve gone too far.

[obsidian wyvern]

yea i agree, i think it wouldve been better off as the dmr

[candid solar]

I kinda wanna write like, how the models would be different from the base model if that sort of thing were implemented.

[worldly sedge]

I mean you don’t have to buy them

[candid solar]

I mean, sure, and that's fine, I don't mind purchaseable cosmetics.

[worldly sedge]

A DMR is a DMR

[candid solar]

But the high cost and awful choice of bundle setup is frustrating as hell. I want the BR model but I hate the armor it comes with.

[obsidian wyvern]

yes? what point are you making lol

[candid solar]

So because I don't want the armor at all, I can't get the weapon model I want, because it's bundled with armor that, to me, looks crappy, and that I know I'll never use.

[worldly sedge]

Everyone still gonna use the BR lol it’s a to-go weapon

[obsidian wyvern]

i cant wait for this to flop

343i claims to be 'woke', yet they still have not released the Trenchbird core. Really makes you think.

then we can talk about your core

Imagine the horror I could wreak upon the Prefect core. Delicious.

matchmaking have been soo much worse lately than like 2 weeks before

anyone else experience this? im either getting into massively unbalanced or huge ping lobbies

[candid solar]

It's because you're European I'd assume

Sharks must be eating cables again

[muted plaza]

yes

but like 2-3 weeks ago it was fine, now Im having to leave every second or third match because half my team left or because im getting into huge ping lobbies

[fickle drift]

what do you mean it's because you're european

we should have better internet than the americans, there are more people with a level of wealth similiar to USA's one

ah wait i forgot

we're still pretending america's the only western country, sorry

Their unlimited shrimp deal as a permanent menu item is insanely awesome. Having all the Walt's Favorite Shrimp I wanted was a heavenly experience.

[candid solar]

No? It's an American game that's more popular in America, of course you're going to end up on American servers with all the issues latency brings.

[vapid siren]

bro really got offended when its a pop distribution issue

Halo is not played in Japan like... at all those guys might be lucky to get a custom game going

EU yeah its annoying but the game's historically always been NA centric. Hell we only NOW are getting a major LAN in the EU and its been what 20+ years?

You gotta look at it in perspective @fickle drift

[muted plaza]

it sounds dumb but it actually has something to do with how american people are used to the "american dream" of going to a 9 to 5 for 40 years, paying off your school debt and buying a house

much more ppl in america think thats a good life compared to europe

this is much more apparent when looking at games like league, in na everyone plays safe and consistently while in eu everyone takes risks

and it may have something to do with halo being a "consistent" game as in most games play out similiarly

[candid solar]

They're always really weirdly defensive about crap I say lmao

[obsidian wyvern]

this took a turn i did not expect

[muted plaza]

it sounds dumb but istg its true LOL

I first heard this argument when comparing league eu vs na but istg it makes sense

[obsidian wyvern]

I'm upset realising Connor may be from the same country as me

[candid solar]

all i can think of to how out of pocket that just was

my insurance is morenthan double my car price

[muted plaza]

I mean its understandable to some degree, the healthcare/school prices are awfully high and because of that if people try to take risks without any kind of backup to their finances it can be devastating

[candid solar]

That said, ops tempo between US and EU players is well documented.

[muted plaza]

wdym ops?

[candid solar]

How you function in a game.

Amusingly, the opposite of your example was true in Mechwarrior Online-US players were often aggressive to the point of recklessness.

While EU teams generally coordinated well and were more cagey.

[left bone]

maybe i should stop being aggressive in games

[candid solar]

I've always found that focus on survival over kills is usually a good way to get more kills and die less.

[muted plaza]

in league eu is generally considered better even tho na players play safe usually

its apparent in pro play as well 💀

[candid solar]

There's such a thing as playing too safe.

[left bone]

i only have two play styles

1. stay back and fire from afar
2. KILL EVERYTHING

[candid solar]

I mostly existed to be my friend's battering ram when I played Rocket League. We'd play Hoops and my entire job was getting Demos.

Like, that was the entire job description. To tilt the enemy and keep them from doing anything.

[obsidian wyvern]

i hate hoops

[left bone]

me too

[ocean herald]

The “American dream” is def an older generation mindset. I think most young/younger people today don’t really buy into it like their grandparents did

[left bone]

i barely play rocket leauge bc

[obsidian wyvern]

it was mostly a skill issue on my part but i really struggled to have fun with that mode lol

[candid solar]

I mean they also literally can't, lmao

[left bone]

i already got the stuff i wanted
(bought the collectors edition disc before the game went free several years later)

i hate epic

[candid solar]

I actually prefer hoops. I'm not good at Rocket League but Hoops players are easy to tilt into uselessness.

[livid oyster]

It’s called the American dream cause you have to be asleep to believe it

[muted plaza]

its still a thing current generations still

[obsidian wyvern]

i hope that one day my batmobile cars from rocket league make it to fortnite

[muted plaza]

more so compared to eu

[left bone]

epic has a long way to go to port all of my 400+ stuff into fortnite

that warthog is still not in rocket racing

like i paid good money for that

i recently decided to 100% the game but realised i cant get the trading achievement anymore :(

it makes sense why they disabled it but id like that achievement

Something like 'Viceroy' or 'Gilgamesh'.

I like to go to a bookstore and get ones without smushed corners

it soils the experience if it comes damaged 😦

[ocean herald]

i think i got mine through target back when it came out for full price. and yeah you never know if they'll damage it in transit

none of the halo books are discounted that much. i think new blood is the best deal i've seen so far. it's 7.99 rn

[livid oyster]

I once had a funny run in with an opossum at night. It’s led me to believe they are not the sharpest creatures

[candid solar]

They aren't very smart, no.

[hasty zinc]

their claws are though

[livid oyster]

Fair point

[obsidian wyvern]

isnt that its normal price

[livid oyster]

I was walking down a path and seen this thing about 100 or so feet down walking towards me, I thought it was a cat at first. And as we get closer I see it’s an opossum and it’s still walking towards me, I then notice it had its head down. And when we’re about 4 feet away it slowly raised its head and made a slight jump and just stood there frozen

[ocean herald]

according to amazon the regular price is 16.99

all other other books are like 2-3 bucks cheaper

[obsidian wyvern]

woah

yeah ours is always at this price

[ocean herald]

oof. the american dream (buying cheap halo stuff) is truly dead (more expensive)

[normal owl]

Reading this made me go "MMMHM!" aloud. Too right.

[obsidian wyvern]

the only one i can really see that high is ghosts of onyx

[normal owl]

Those are awesome names, love them! Especially Gilgamesh: an epic name.

[obsidian wyvern]

i can see trench naming it megatron or smthn lol

[candid solar]

The more over the top the better

[normal owl]

That is so cute. "Sorry to scare you buddy."

[candid solar]

"Destructuloid; Devourer of Souls"

[normal owl]

or just Neymar, for playing dead.

[candid solar]

I also considered getting some Amazon Milk Frogs.

[normal owl]

"wow, Ronaldo, that's a fancy name!" "yeah because of the flopping." "what?"

[obsidian wyvern]

https://vxtwitter.com/DiscussingFilm/status/1790775676380811562

[normal owl]

Been waiting for this!

[livid oyster]

It was. We just stood looking at each other for a few seconds and I expected it to play dead but it just scampered off into the bushes lol

[ocean herald]

What’s the conversion between dollars and pounds

[left bone]

the west has risen

[obsidian wyvern]

didnt realise it had gone up

[left bone]

millions must invest and save

[obsidian wyvern]

thought the first dude would stay as a villian

[thorny glen]

when can we switch to halo credits as currency 😔

[ocean herald]

So we’re not too far off your prices

[arctic sedge]

Best way to level battlepass?

[normal owl]

It's a neat way to have both playstyles available: stealth vs combat.

[round laurel]

Play better.
Complete challenges.
Use double XP boosts.
Buy the premium pass for an extra challenge slot and bonus XP.

[obsidian wyvern]

i think btb heavies gives extra xp rn as well

[granite solar]

Here's some Halo machinima nostalgia

https://youtu.be/aWKUTCX48IM?si=QBJLqkzx3Vdu6ZI5

[tight remnant]

Oh yes Yasuke! If it's mixed protagonists that sounds great

[normal owl]

Ubisoft: "You decide whether to play a Shinobi or Samurai. Approach quests with whichever character you prefer, as each possesses their own respective progression, stats, skills, and gear."

Reading through Ubi's product page, I'm now super curious about the respective skill trees.

[arctic sedge]

Can you still upgrade the original season one samurai armor?

[ocean herald]

Trailer looked sick. Didn’t love the music choice that starts around 2:50 (didn’t think it fit the vibe/era).

[obsidian wyvern]

https://t.co/2x97xckTox

new book

[steady jolt]

Was that announced before or is this the first announcement? Feel like I've heard that title before

[floral pollen]

I scrolled past this quickly and thought it was a trailer for Tenrai IV
then I read it and was minorly disappointed lol

[hasty zinc]

was announcedd like last year IIRC

[obsidian wyvern]

TRUE

[floral pollen]

Fully agreed
a bouncing projectile just doesn't seem right

[hasty zinc]

reminds me of those dam busting barrels they drop from planes

except they're just dropped, not shot out of anything

[covert escarp]

how the hell am i supposed to get past that club part in new alexandria (REACH)

there are a bunch of those super buff covenants

[hasty zinc]

shoot everyone until they are dead

[jolly willow]

Have you tried watching any walkthrough videos?

[obsidian wyvern]

shoot everyone until they are dead

[covert escarp]

ah yes the amazing default rifle

[obsidian wyvern]

theres a few dmrs in there

[bold sparrow]

I think they mentioned it at HCS.

[obsidian wyvern]

and theres a jackal with a needle rifle iirc

[covert escarp]

needle rifle has like no ammo afaik

[jolly willow]

in fact, you might not have to kill all the enemies.

Often times that's the key - take out the ones you need to, run past the ones you don't.

Although I don't remember if for the club part you need to take out all the hunters etc. or not.

[obsidian wyvern]

i think u have to kill the hunters

[hasty zinc]

343 add flying hunters to new game plz

[obsidian wyvern]

but there were rockets

[jolly willow]

yeah those help

I typically try to take out the smaller enemies first, hunters are pretty easy to avoid.
Then once the adds are gone, you can focus on hunters.

[smoky token]

what was this quote referring to in the first place

[obsidian wyvern]

im guessing the fuelrod

[smoky token]

probably

[obsidian wyvern]

i didnt watch rvb so idk

[fickle drift]

Yeah it was the Fuel Rod.

[hasty zinc]

want to see what caused the recent aurora?

[obsidian wyvern]

oh yeah i saw a basic video on that, looked wild

[hasty zinc]

space is crazy

[normal owl]

I guess this is now such a crazy deal that they had to have it pass committee and then a franchisee vote.

[hasty zinc]

lmfao

[normal owl]

Inflation makes me Grimace.

[obsidian wyvern]

sounds good

[normal owl]

Thank you for chip-ing in with that info 🍟

But seriously, I do not think that would actually be a complete meal that fills you up. Just 4 nuggets and a small fries with the tiny McDouble?

[obsidian wyvern]

that sounds about right for a meal here

[hasty zinc]

that's barely a snack

[worldly sedge]

Yeah the reason why the food in USA is granted safe and small is because of that Supersize guy

When he condemned the fast food industry and made Geneva conventions that it’s illegal to sell such grand food

[normal owl]

ha, and that's why we are absolutely crushing you...in obesity.

[normal owl]

$5 Tease, they should call it.

[hasty zinc]

you know how McDonalds could settle this whole thing? just bring back all day breakfast and nobody will be mad and the world will be at peace

[normal owl]

mannnnnnnn if only!

[hasty zinc]

stupid covid

ruining all day breakfast

[normal owl]

It must be slimmer margins or something that is an extraordinary reason to forego the insane business of selling McD breakfast at midnight.

[hasty zinc]

5 years of bliss

[normal owl]

that was Halo 5.

[hasty zinc]

sometimes it's just like 10PM and I want a sausage egg and cheese mcmuffin

[normal owl]

I'm sayin!!

[obsidian wyvern]

are hashbrowns limited to breakfast

[hasty zinc]

yeah

[obsidian wyvern]

criminal

[pulsar cobalt]

most of my time playing infinite now is just in the customization menu 😂

[normal owl]

The location near me used to be staffed by ne'er-do-wells that would constantly say their credit card machine was down during late nights so that they wouldn't have to work. So I just started a habit of withdrawing cash every month specifically to get my food from them when I wanted.

[obsidian wyvern]

playing barbie sim

[normal owl]

100% same

[obsidian wyvern]

most of my time in infinite is in the menu looking for games 😔

[pulsar cobalt]

I personally think they should just bring back the 10 tier events instead

and bring back seasons i feel like this is what infinite is missing

[obsidian wyvern]

wait what lol

[pulsar cobalt]

Something about operations is just not it

[normal owl]

Yeah a common thing [at least in my area] is that kids staffing a late night shift at a fast-food restaurant will say the credit card machine is down to reduce drastically the amount of work they have to do, but for a reason that won't look like they're disobeying work orders.

[obsidian wyvern]

lowkey smart

[normal owl]

yeah but also lazy and crappy.

[hasty zinc]

I always see videos of employees waving food trays out the drive through window to bump up the numbers

[pulsar cobalt]

only seen a few people use this helm thinking about it

[obsidian wyvern]

attorney made a neat bumblebee with that

[pulsar cobalt]

Oh no bendy mirage beneath the shoulder haha 😂

that looks good though

[candid solar]

The forehead plating kinda makes the armor look like it's for goobers.

Like, it'd look good with an extra plate of metal there.

[pulsar cobalt]

Alot of helmets look like they was planned to have attachments but never happened

[obsidian wyvern]

got 2 crosscore helmet attachments yesterday, can see more and more coming

[pulsar cobalt]

i wish they made notus rebreather thing a attachment

[normal owl]

You are incredible. I was literally just looking through my Xbox app (not there) and then all the photos I could never dig through, and just accepting I would never find it.

[obsidian wyvern]

i gotchu 🤝

[pulsar cobalt]

😂

[candid solar]

I always feel bad for Halo's many, many scuba armors.

[candid solar]

It literally is for underwater fighting lmao

[normal owl]

That is the highest honor that you would say that. Donnie Yen is one of my idols. He is 60yo and has been kickass for the last few decades straight.

[arctic sedge]

Are you still able to upgrade the Yoroi armor?

[obsidian wyvern]

60?????????????????????

[normal owl]

Right??? Isn't that insane given his physicality in movies?

[obsidian wyvern]

he does not look 60 wtf

[normal owl]

I guess all that exercise pays off lol

[pulsar cobalt]

I know haha

[pulsar cobalt]

Upgrade yoroi armour ?

[obsidian wyvern]

wait is he actually blind, now that i realise hes in rogue one too

[normal owl]

No that was his character.

He has made some astonishing movies. He's outdone Jet Li in terms of action movies that continue to be made.

[obsidian wyvern]

it was just that he was blind in both star wars and john wick so i thought he mightve actually been. pulled them both off really well

[normal owl]

The blind fighter/swordsman is a huge thing in E Asian films, particularly wuxia. Also someone who is old/supposedly weaker easily dispatching someone who's stronger and thinks they're easily overpowered.

[arctic sedge]

@pulsar cobalt get the more detailed pieces.

[frosty siren]

I WANT CURSED HALO for there 100% noraml warthogs

at the most you might need to put a disclaimer saying the names are the intellectual property of Microsoft or something

but honestly unless you make a million bucks off it i don't think MS will send lawyers after you for a school project

Remild me of thr RvB franchise

[lapis snow]

how likely am I to launch an xbox disk on an 360 xbox ?

[dreamy stirrup]

i had a couple options for this one

went with the safest

[elfin glacier]

probably unlikely

[amber mirage]

Depends on the game. There's a list out there of all games supported.

[frosty siren]

How many smart A.I did the UNSC have?

[smoky token]

they should add a medal or achievement for getting a killing spree with coils

[lapis snow]

halo 2

[obsidian wyvern]

safest huh lol

[amber mirage]

That works

[normal owl]

Do I spend $280 on a collector's edition...

[lapis snow]

nice

[obsidian wyvern]

for what

[smoky token]

chat do I buy the $250 Tarkov Unheard edition

[obsidian wyvern]

ooh

[amber mirage]

If you've got the money

[normal owl]

the creed on the scroll and sumi-e paintings are awesome extras.

[pulsar cobalt]

That's up to you

[hasty zinc]

oooh, I'll have to show the wife this

[elfin glacier]

shill

[normal owl]

Usually just the statue is cool in CEs, but the other stuff in this one are super cool too.

[elfin glacier]

you should give me money instead

[lapis snow]

are there any improvements on anniversary version of CE for 360, like optimizations, QoL, etc.
Or I can just buy a disk for the first Xbox and launch it on 360, and basically get the same game (Im not interested in anniversary graphics)

[desert basin]

Love that Assassin's Creed shadow's trailer was 4x the views in an hour than Halo infinite's trailer in a week.

[obsidian wyvern]

tbf new game vs simple update

[candid tusk]

That's hot. If you'll get your money out of the game, why not?

[hasty zinc]

yeah a new highly anticipated game vs an update trailer

I would imagine it would get more views lol

[normal owl]

It's going to be a lonnnng six months.

[candid tusk]

We can count it down together.

[elfin glacier]

me when i false equivalency

[obsidian wyvern]

i was really looking forward to the chainsaw man movie this year but realised it was 2024 and not 25 😔

[normal owl]

Tempted by this great last gasp of Gamestop to entice me to use their cobwebbed store.

[amber mirage]

Is that a Gamestop exclusive?

[normal owl]

Are you also playing it?!

[elfin glacier]

apparently they've slashed benefits and staff count so you have only 1 overworked peon in store at all times

if they need to take a break they have to lock up the whole store

[normal owl]

I bring my location ice cream or donuts every time because they are so nice yet so overworked.

[obsidian wyvern]

yes

[elfin glacier]

it sucks for the employees

[frosty siren]

LoL cortona killed the OG Infinity ship A.I

[normal owl]

I have every steelbook since Unity except Mirage...and it looks like the only way to get Shadows' is via CE.

[obsidian wyvern]

oh i only just realised what this was, neat

[hasty zinc]

where's the rest of the sword

[obsidian wyvern]

thats what im thinking smh

[frosty siren]

So did the URF take down any UNSC ships that had a smart A.I on it

[normal owl]

3,600 Helix credits

[hasty zinc]

sorry I'm saving that for the invevitable fire horse

[normal owl]

Yes! and unicorn

[obsidian wyvern]

..wait

season pass?

more and more single player games going this route hm

[fickle drift]

Seems about right, it is a modern Ubi game

[hasty zinc]

it's not a real AC game until you can buy a fire horse

[normal owl]

Yeah they're doing quasi-live service like they did with Valhalla.

[obsidian wyvern]

even outlaws has season passes

[amber mirage]

Season passes for single player games are like a 15 year old practice now

[elfin glacier]

revenant has a season pass

[obsidian wyvern]

ive never actually noticed lol

[desert basin]

They been going this route sinnce 2016

[amber mirage]

I remember when Borderlands 2 released, people complained it didn't have one.

[elfin glacier]

can't wait for the new revenant dlc

[normal owl]

I think it's actually more transparent of them to call it season passes instead of "expansion pass"...and then have Ragnarok afterwards.

[hasty zinc]

expansion pass is separate lol /s

[normal owl]

You scared me!

[desert basin]

Ragnarok was like an actual expannsion tho, that game was just another game stacked on the original

[normal owl]

True, and a great deal content-wise.

[hasty zinc]

https://tenor.com/Egox.gif

[pulsar cobalt]

Pretty much new story dlc

[normal owl]

I am hoping beyond hope that the Infinity hub will allow for cross-spend of Helix credits.

[obsidian wyvern]

oh

[pulsar cobalt]

Valhalla got a few

[obsidian wyvern]

i thought it would just be like in game bonuses or whatever

[normal owl]

Yeah Valhalla got seasonal themes and a pretty steady drip of story content.

[pulsar cobalt]

It will most likely be like this

[hasty zinc]

I'm excited for FO76 expansion next month

[frosty siren]

Guys if master cheif was never was conscripted into a spartin 2 do yall think he whould of became a spartin 4 after joining the O.D.S.T.s?

[fickle drift]

There’s a number of visual and audio downgrades in CE:A as it uses the 2003 PC port as a base.

Only tangible benefit now that Reach has sunsetted is having P2P co-op and achievements.

And 3d functionality if you care about that.

[amber mirage]

CE:A includes subtitles for the first time, which is the only QoL improvement that doesn't require special hardware.

[hasty zinc]

also you can yell at the game to do stuff

reload etc

also CE in 3D on a projector was dope

[amber mirage]

I made sure to specify "doesn't require special hardware" for that

[fickle drift]

Oh right the Kinect support, so there’s the Library feature as well with lore entries

[hasty zinc]

that's where the fun is though!

[amber mirage]

Library mode was fun

[pulsar cobalt]

Looking at the rak concept art again and wondering why can't we have the option to take off kneepads

[amber mirage]

I never had the Kinect for myself, so i only got to try it briefly at a friend's house

[fickle drift]

Ours didn’t work very well, didn’t like the accent. 🙃

[obsidian wyvern]

i only used it for kinect adventures

[normal owl]

is this $280 usd?
not worth it for all the stuff you get then tbh

[tight remnant]

Before the insurrection, the UNSC nuked Far Isle, a colony which rebelled against the UNSC

[hasty zinc]

maybe not worth it for you

[normal owl]

Your opinion will matter when you buy one lol

[worldly sedge]

GameStop is bad these days

[fickle drift]

As oppose to when

Intriguing premise, I like it!

[thorny glen]

just looking at everything you get for it, $280 for all of that is not great
i think the Ultimate edition is better for just $130, you still get the 3 days early access, season pass, ultimate pack stuff

paying an extra $150 for a
steelbook video game case
art book that you'll probably find online for $30 later on
replica metal tsuba of the in-game shinobi one

just doesn't seem worth it for the extra cost

[amber mirage]

The statue alone would probably go for $150 separately

With the CE, you get that, plus the other stuff

[round laurel]

Seems fine.

[thorny glen]

you'd be surprised, video game statues like that don't go for big money at all

[candid tusk]

Sometimes it's not about the money. It's for the love of the game and having a physical reminder of it.

[thorny glen]

if you're gonna sell it later yea they don't

[frosty siren]

Halo needs to make a movie with the plot line i made

[amber mirage]

I would be surprised if that went for much cheaper on its own

[normal owl]

Agreed that the physical items' value are subjective to the individual purchaser. For most CEs I've found them to not be worth the cost, but for this one I personally especially like even the side items, like the scroll and sumi-e lithos.

[thorny glen]

not talking about the money involved here anyways

[thorny glen]

i personally think the best thing out of that list is the replica tsuba cause it's actual metal

if your a cosplayer of any sorts turning that thing into a functional sword would be pretty neat

or even just wanting to use it with a real sword, still neat

[normal owl]

I'm most excited to have the creed on the scroll. But again, the value to me will be totally different than to someone else.

And much like a beautiful face, I enjoy getting The Package altogether vs just valuing the individual items.

[thorny glen]

i have a Halo 4 Xbox 360 console so lol

[normal owl]

Well that is scientifically established to be objectively an excellent item so... [not sarcasm; it was gorgeous]

Didn't that come with the then-new twist d-pad controllers too?

[obsidian wyvern]

wtf have i just seen after typing that

[normal owl]

HAHAHA what in the. You have to have a PSN account to buy that controller?

[thorny glen]

Idk what you mean by this

like the d-pad is different from normal 360 controllers? sort of yea

[normal owl]

^ The then-new and fancy version at the time.

[thorny glen]

yea it's raised

[worldly sedge]

Found this on Jason Jones’ Wikipedia:

After the release of Halo 2, Jones took a sabbatical from Bungie, not knowing whether he wanted to continue making games. As Jones returned, his involvement with Halo began to diminish, as Jones tended to 'dislike' sequels. He desired to build a new intellectual property.

What

[thorny glen]

i find it really weird xbox went backwards and returned to the original d-pad design

[obsidian wyvern]

i like how they just cropped out each part and laid it over one another

[snow kindle]

anyone wanna play

[hasty zinc]

that's the Halo 4 UNSC 360 special edition controller right?

[obsidian wyvern]

bungie didnt even want to make another halo after ce iirc

it looks cool, ive never seen it before

[worldly sedge]

Yeah that was from what I heard from one source but hearing it from Jones himself is a bit perplexing considering that he’s the founder of Bungie

Maybe I wasn’t deep into the mind of the company at the time

[normal owl]

I still have a 360 controller with that twistable d-pad in camo new sealed. Why I thought it'd be cool to keep I have no idea.

[snow kindle]

so no one wants to play?

[hasty zinc]

the twist d-pad was legit

[pulsar cobalt]

they didn't want to make anymore after halo 3 actually

[hasty zinc]

what a BEAUTY

[obsidian wyvern]

explains why reach was so bad, no care put into it

[normal owl]

Yeah that was one of the most gorgeous ones.

[pulsar cobalt]

they didn't wanna do odst or reach

[obsidian wyvern]

and odst happened to be the best campaign story 😁

[pulsar cobalt]

they wanted to do there beautiful destiny

[hasty zinc]

this is pic of my actual controller when I got it lol

[fickle drift]

2 happened because CE was so successful.
3 happened because they didn’t finish 2.
ODST and Reach were contractual obligations, and there’d have been a third if Wars didn’t happen.

[obsidian wyvern]

woah ok thats really raised

[hasty zinc]

I think I have a pic of it in the box somewhere

[pulsar cobalt]

This sums it up perfectly

[normal owl]

The detail is awesome, like the bottom bumper and the Xbox button lights.

[hasty zinc]

lol

[obsidian wyvern]

where was that from

[hasty zinc]

no clue

[amber mirage]

It's what replaces the birth certificate for a Spartan

[frosty siren]

Ok i forgot the endibg

[hasty zinc]

Added ending*

[obsidian wyvern]

[candid solar]

Whew. One more step towards transitioning down, another few dozen to go.

Weird that telling my leadership was actually one of the hardest steps so far.

[steady jolt]

[frosty siren]

[hasty zinc]

midnight release

[obsidian wyvern]

yes star wars

[frosty siren]

So why think thows 2 are friens where rhere on 2 diffewnt unverses

[candid solar]

I think we should start calling Halo 'Big dumb space Object' instead of Halo

[normal owl]

Is that from the sweet story you told before about her waiting in line with you?

[candid solar]

Because every game is about another big dumb space object

[frosty siren]

Nah juah call halo Circle

[steady jolt]

Hula hoop

[hasty zinc]

yep! she pulled my name randomly to win those dog tags!

[normal owl]

[normal owl]

It's very pretty in person.

[steady jolt]

I found mine in a local store, on discount, because no box 😄

[normal owl]

Lucky!

[candid solar]

I wonder how Marcus Fenix would react to knowing how the Spartan IIs were made considering what he found out COG did.

[hard crane]

This is something I can admire

[hasty zinc]

my favorite thing is the Halo 4 Lithograph that came from best buy

[amber mirage]

I still have mine

[steady jolt]

Reminds me, I still need to get my Isabel print framed

[hasty zinc]

I still can't find the pic of the controller in the box

[amber mirage]

The sleeve thing my lithograph came in is all banged up

[hasty zinc]
