[normal owl]

Doesn't seem entirely covert.

[soft ravine]

I have 2,000 games in my steam library and I've played maybe 40 of them.

Aviary attorney is a masterpiece though

[hasty zinc]

same, this is on steam alone

then add every other service I have games on

[trim saddle]

its just a cover-t

[soft ravine]

Have you tried achievement hunting?

[hasty zinc]

only a handful of times

not huge on achievements

[trim saddle]

the only numbers some people care for are the ones in our bank account.

[soft ravine]

Work through your backlog by just trying to get as many achievements as possible. It gives you a reason to play the shorter shovelware and makes other games a treat

[valid portal]

mgs5 ground zeroes is quite easy to 100 percent because of how short it is

[soft ravine]

You're a dad with a mortgage payment. Go band for band with me rn.

[trim saddle]

I own my house, no mortgage.

[soft ravine]

I see you're not a millennial

(It's because he owns his home)

[hasty zinc]

https://tenor.com/bGhdH.gif

[soft ravine]

Millennials can't own homes. Once they own a home they're promoted to gen x or gen z

[trim saddle]

does a birth year of 1986 make me a non millennial?

[hasty zinc]

it makes you one

[trim saddle]

Oh, well than theres our answer lol

[hasty zinc]

yeah that's why I put the gif lol

I knew your birth year

[trim saddle]

-gasp- he likes me.

[hasty zinc]

https://tenor.com/bU5Dy.gif

[soft ravine]

He's spiritually gen x

[trim saddle]

-gasp- he tolerates me

Animation is so hard. Props to any game studio that animates well

[trim saddle]

i still have 4 more hours until i can leave work and play halo -sigh-

but nooOOoOoo i gotta stay and make sure everything is running as intended.

[soft ravine]

What do you do for work?

[trim saddle]

IT Support / 3D CAD tech

[soft ravine]

NICE.

I design boxes now and got into CAD. I've been working on some models and audio for a game in my free time.

You a bench or network tech?

[trim saddle]

im more network but my boss is all the above. we grew up dabbling in computers and he went to college for it and i joined the military (boss is my older brother) and now im doing this for my career.

[soft ravine]

What branch and specialty?

[trim saddle]

Army, Military Police. Home unit was Detainee Ops but I deployed with guys that did PTT missions. It was a lot of learning experiences for sure. It grew me up because i was a brat when I joined right out of highschool basically.

I’m a 35M (formally 97E), so we would’ve worked with y’all

[trim saddle]

Mine used to be 31B but now i hear its something different? lol Were you around Tikrit 08-09?

[trim saddle]

oh yeah you werent too far away. I dont think we did any missions out that way.

[rare cedar]

Ya it was quiet where we were

[rare cedar]

That probably explains why MW3 isn’t on console for campaign, as it says it’s for the Cloud

Shucks

[obsidian wyvern]

if it's for cloud it should be on Xbox too

cloud runs off of an Xbox iirc

[rare cedar]

Oh true

[hasty zinc]

@normal owl

[normal owl]

The very definition of a keepsake 🙏

[trim saddle]

I actually just bought that today.

[hasty zinc]

I think I might grab it

[trim saddle]

i kinda want 343 guilty spark for a tree topper.

[hasty zinc]

buy and build the mega construx spark

[trim saddle]

[hasty zinc]

https://shop.mattel.com/products/mega-halo-343-guilty-spark-hrr69

[trim saddle]

i saw that at the store recently too but i cant spend anything else unless its for the kids lol

[hasty zinc]

anything Christmas is for the kids

https://tenor.com/YCdz.gif

[trim saddle]

nono, i cant make excuses for myself. thats lying to my kids.

[hasty zinc]

do they believe in santa?

then you're already lying to them, what's one more little lie gonna hurt

[obsidian wyvern]

fallen asleep on the bus every day this week, I'm actually gonna get robbed

[trim saddle]

Santa needs to come through and making excuses to buy myself things makes santa less inclined to visit lol

[hasty zinc]

show them Halo 3 and that spark dies and that he went to the great beyond and now guards the christmas tree

[trim saddle]

maybe take out that light block and shove a tree light in there lmao

[hasty zinc]

see

you got this

[trim saddle]

i mustn't succumb to the dark side even if they have cookies.

[hasty zinc]

just have to be creative with your deceptions

we put flour on the floor near the door entry like santa came into the door and left snow footprints

when my daughter asked why the snow wasn't cold, we just said it was Canadian snow

she just shrugged

@fossil skiff

[graceful inlet]

so. new quests are out so where is the odst mode? 😁

[elder hedge]

https://tenor.com/view/spider-man-peter-parker-hey-everyone-open-door-entrance-gif-20955069

[trim saddle]

👋

[hasty zinc]

there has to be a way to fix this

the grain is so bad

I can barely see people I'm shooting

[forest lagoon]

Bazaar sure is looking more lively these days!

[hasty zinc]

I'm going to have to join a COD discord 😦

[forest lagoon]

Nothing in the game settings for adjusting visuals?

[hasty zinc]

oh there's plenty, but nothing that affects the grainy stuff

I've found plenty of reddit posts on it already

[forest lagoon]

[untold yew]

How come nobody is talking about Helljumpers?

RIP Halo 🦗

[fickle drift]

😔

[forest lagoon]

I didn't know it was out yet?

[elder hedge]

So what do we normally talk about besides our love for Halo?

[trim saddle]

there are plenty of different channels for various topics, this is just a general chat. multi purpose room of sorts.

[elder hedge]

Ok

[elder hedge]

Love your bio 😂

[graceful inlet]

i was asking where the mode is. new quests are already out and i know that when new daily quests come out, new other things as well

or?? im probably wrong

[untold yew]

I really enjoy fighting alongside my fellow spartans in PvE

[arctic kayak]

Next operation is called great journey

Its halo 2 themed

Halo 2 btb maps would rule

[hasty zinc]

@elder hedge can't talk about that here

[elder hedge]

Ok sorry

[steady jolt]

Adidas went and done it again

[vapid siren]

https://tenor.com/view/thats-it-yes-thats-it-that-right-there-omg-that-thats-what-i-mean-gif-17579879

[granite sky]

guiz does operation great journey mean elites

[steady jolt]

Dropped brand new merch, made it a stupid draw so you only have a chance to actually buy it. Which means once the draw is over, 90% of the purchases are going on ebay for 4x the price :/

[vapid siren]

they literally said its h2 themed

its for the anniversary

[granite sky]

yeee??

[normal owl]

I'm sure I'm missing some big piece of understanding, but I am so weary of all of these promotional gaming/gaming-related items that are flashed around but then put behind a sweepstakes wall. "Here is a nice warm coat for chilly days like this...but only 1,000 of you 1,000,000 can buy it!"

[steady jolt]

It's so frustrating. It's merch for the band Korn, they did it for their last merch drop as well. Didn't win the draw then sadly, probably won't win this one

[vapid siren]

afaik some of that's down to scale and cost

definitely annoying tho for a number of things

[graceful inlet]

so.. whats with the new helljumper mode? i thought it was today i dont want to be annoying, just asking

[hasty zinc]

xbox does the same with their promo controllers/consoles, it's very annoying

at least they made the starfield controller not super limited. Was very happy to get that

and the 20th

[storm lily]

Remove weapon motion blur. This game is god awful for anyone playing pc mnk

[hasty zinc]

I have both weapon and world motion blur off

[storm lily]

Then there should be an option to reduce 'film grain' under graphics. But its in the sub options called 'view'

[hasty zinc]

no film grain option

trust me I've been looking since this morning

[storm lily]

Tf

[hasty zinc]

it's so annoying

I think it has to do with shadows/transparency

[storm lily]

Can u try go to multiplayer and play a custom game? If it does the same its god awful

[hasty zinc]

I can try

look how bad that is

[storm lily]

Im so glad i dont pay for games anymore. If it aint free it aint worth it

[storm lily]

That's abysmal

[hasty zinc]

normally I can overlook this stuff, but it's legitimately affecting gameplay

[steady jolt]

Is that meant to be freckles or a disease? 0.o

[hasty zinc]

hair lmao

[steady jolt]

WHAT

[hasty zinc]

YUP

[storm lily]

Unfortunately its been like this since modern warfare 2. Dunno why the devs added this. Makes mnk impossible to play

[graceful inlet]

tripophobics won't be happy😅

[storm lily]

Id also recommend u to switch to controller unfortunately since target acquisition is a little easier

[jade gust]

I have so many questions

Like, what?!! Huh?!!

[hasty zinc]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[civic valley]

anyone else get that @halo0.55 scam#

[normal owl]

Yes, literally today Google served some article waxing nostalgic about how nice the Halo Infinite XSX console is. Thanks a lot for reopening the wound of not being able to get one while the scalpers did! WSJ did an article on scalpers, and one of the interviewed one's pictures had his inventory stacked up behind him, and there was a Halo Infinite XSX console and immediately I was completely against his point of view.

[steady jolt]

Report the messages to Discord, their enforcement team will clean it up

[storm lily]

I love my google phone but the jate to google 😭

[sturdy mauve]

the TAA!

[graceful inlet]

Good Night Spartans!
(And Our Little Cute Marines. 🫂)

[arctic kayak]

Halo game fuel is coming back in november but its wow themed for both flavors citrus cherry and mystic blackberry

I still have 2 cases of halo infinite and 2 bottles

[hasty zinc]

could you elaborate?

is it using like forced TAA?

[trim saddle]

im down to try the mystic blackberry for sure.

[hidden prism]

is hell jumper out yet?

[trim saddle]

i dont think so, they mentioned it in their latest update about it coming soon.

[hidden prism]

ok thank you

the new infection is so good

[molten pelican]

oh my gosh stop sending these photos

Its upsetting

[graceful inlet]

Like I said tripophobics won't be happy😅

Its people who Are afraid of Holes etc.

[normal owl]

Halos are holes, really.

[graceful inlet]

[molten pelican]

I had the same thought until I played Donut County and now I have a severe fear of holes

[normal owl]

Just play a golf game and you will love them.

[graceful inlet]

Personally, I just have a phobia of spiders. But only of those that are alive, Toys, Pictures etc. don't bother me. Only if it's a real alive spider.

[hasty zinc]

I recommend Cursed to Golf

[normal owl]

Is that one of those par-tee games?

[hasty zinc]

it's a golf roguelike lol

[scarlet nova]

Hey

My mom and dad lived in the two dimensional game era for the most part and now I live in the 3 dimensional era imagine we live to the 4 dimensional era of gaming 💀

[cedar turret]

Already there

[errant canopy]

Imagine I live to an era of gaming where it’s common to have to have a quantum computer to run halo 😂

[cedar turret]

fourth dimension is time. Time is an element of games going back to pong

[errant canopy]

Oh

But you know what I meant

🤷‍♂️

[cedar turret]

No, I only know what you wrote

[errant canopy]

Alright Einstein 😂

Ur definitely smarter than me

[young sage]

Don’t get me wrong I love the ornament, I have one still in its box for Christmas

[tardy radish]

Please 343 remove the match composer. Just put each mode into its own separate playlist.

The game shouldn’t have 1 minute plus queue times.

How are you texting then

[molten pelican]

I have tines

[fickle drift]

👍

[wheat ridge]

yes

[fickle drift]

Hi any call of duty players here????

[wheat ridge]

what is call of duty

[prime kestrel]

ew cod

[fickle drift]

a game with guns and stuff

[prime kestrel]

offbrand halo

[fickle drift]

reason I ask is cuz I'm trying to find my sens in it translated from Infinite

[wheat ridge]

call of duty is boring all you do is kill

[fickle drift]

ur a boring

[wheat ridge]

use a ruler

[fickle drift]

Here

[fickle drift]

i meant thje nmumber

[fickle drift]

do u use controller in both ?

[fickle drift]

Shotgun my beloved

[wheat ridge]

use a ruler and see your sensitivity

[fickle drift]

idk what a ruler would do

[fickle drift]

Yes

[obsidian wyvern]

I think theres a website for that

[wheat ridge]

do a 360° and see how many inches

[fickle drift]

@wheat ridge your pfp looks like my cat

[wheat ridge]

nice

can i see?

[fickle drift]

Perhaps

[fickle drift]

where can i share pics

[fickle drift]

im using controller

[wheat ridge]

maybe see how many seconds to do a 360 with a stopwatch

[obsidian wyvern]

you aren't helping lol

[fickle drift]

360 no scope?

[wheat ridge]

idk it's just how i would do

[fickle drift]

wowza

[obsidian wyvern]

pumpkin are you playing bo6

[fickle drift]

yeah

[obsidian wyvern]

when I played the beta, I stuck at the default sens and it felt like 4 in infinite

[fickle drift]

No idea

[fickle drift]

i dm'd my controller sens

[storm lily]

thats every shooter game then i guess halo is boring too lol

[wheat ridge]

but cod is only killing and buying season pass

halo has more gamemodes

[storm lily]

cod has game modes too? They also have custom games, but no custom games browser.

[storm lily]

halo infinite has a battle pass too. I dont know what u r trying to point out lol. No one game is better than another

[wheat ridge]

but these two games are very different

[storm lily]

thats my point LOL u missed the entire point and saying some game is boring is just subjective

but theres a reason why a game has more players than the other

[wheat ridge]

because activision has more content

and people moved on to other games when halo fell off

[storm lily]

but didnt u just say cod was boring?

flawed logic

[wheat ridge]

yes

having content doesn't mean not boring

[storm lily]

but halo was touted as boring when it launched due to a lack of game modes and content lol

the whole community had the same sentiment. U sure u dont have personal problems with cod LMFAO

[wheat ridge]

im talking about halo in general not infinite

[storm lily]

cod in general isnt boring either. Ur comparing two giants of PS and Xbox. Like i said ur opinion remains an opinion 🤣

[wheat ridge]

the new cods sucks and are boring for me

[storm lily]

but ur comparing a singular game to a whole series. That is not an apples to apples comparison. New halo and new cod equally suck

[tardy radish]

I just use chat gpt premium to set my sensitivities for games like Halo and CoD.

Took 3 years to find the perfect combo.

[wheat ridge]

cod is trash and it's my opinion

[fickle drift]

This is true

[fickle drift]

u just found out what cod is

[hasty zinc]

alright, I think we should stop here

[fickle drift]

ur a towel

[storm lily]

same applies to halo

[hasty zinc]

thanks

[storm lily]

hows the new cod treating u btw?

[hasty zinc]

I like it

campaign is a blast

[storm lily]

heard good things about the campaign

[wheat ridge]

i don't like you

[fickle drift]

im just trying to find my sens for controller from halo

[storm lily]

heard that the campaign was the best out of modern cod

[fickle drift]

im 4 look accel and 6/6 XY

[storm lily]

okay?

[fickle drift]

let's be nice please

[storm lily]

it was a normal discussion. U just took it personally. If u dont like what i have to say u dont have to reply and move on.

[fickle drift]

Now get me some of your custom drinking liquid so I can boil my teammates in it

One of them actively seemed unable to swap weapons, and the fact one missed three shots with a skewer on a STATIONARY WARTHOG should tell you everything you need to know

[fossil skiff]

I try not to get annoyed but with all the sweat lords playing that playlist any time of day, I know this game can easily make it 12v12 of people like me but doesn’t want to

Idc what playlist I'm in, a bronze /silver player shouldn't be with a diamond / onyx level.

Thoughts so far? Would you recommend?

I haven’t played a black ops game in 14 years, might be time to change that

Are you guys hyped for finally getting some content on the flood.

[errant canopy]

What kind of truck? Cybertruck?

[hasty zinc]

welp

I just lost all my campaign progress

apparently the game is having issues saving

[errant canopy]

I blame Elon

[hasty zinc]

now I'm mad

all that work..

Apparently there is a whole thread about the issue

[errant canopy]

Some would say it’s just pixels but in reality you actually do still have to pay the electric bill and now there’s nothing to make it worth your while 😞

The reason I quit gaming (on a regular basis) was because a friend of mine has a bunching bag installed in their room for things like this 💀 But fr if you need to go bunch something I absolutely do not judge it all!🙌

hey I don't judge, everyone is different

[cedar turret]

try beating jurassic park for the snes with it's lack of any save system

[errant canopy]

I kinda want to go to one of those rage rooms at some point ngl 😅 I don’t think I could actually break anything but it would be fun I think

[trim saddle]

Punching bag was an idea I had but now I just do pushups and crunches if I get flustered.

[hasty zinc]

yeah that's probably why I can tolerate this

not JP specifically but Ninja Gaiden on NES for sure

[errant canopy]

Heck yeah I did 100 pushups (not in a row) the other night 💪

[novel tiger]

did they nerf the assault rifle awhile ago?

the video i saw 3 years ago showing it can shread people at decent range and distance

[worthy ginkgo]

Ya it doesn’t feel as good as it did before

[novel tiger]

god dam..why?.....

[hasty zinc]

pretty sure if anything they buffed it recently

[novel tiger]

accuracy? or damage?

sorry im new to infinite

[hasty zinc]

I honestly don't remember

but I'm pretty sure they buffed something

[novel tiger]

wish bloom reset faster tho so bursting is more rewarding

[worthy ginkgo]

They changed the bloom on it so it doesn’t really respond to pulsing anymore it just goes to the max bloom after a few rounds

Now there’s no reason to pulse it now

It’s still the way it launched in campaign if you wanna compare it feels way better

[novel tiger]

ha....i guess it gonnna just be another las gun than

[cedar turret]

Minimum five and a half hours game time. 11 or 12 if you want all the things. No battery back up, no passwords, no nothing. And you have to figure out where to go by trial and error without a map function.

[hasty zinc]

sounds fun

I'm giving up on this tonight. Maybe it'll all work out tomorrow

[cedar turret]

It's one of two snes games I own that I've never personally beaten and that included a group marathon attempt in the dormroom that ended in a power outage when we were at the helipad.

[eager mango]

gn playin halo

[restive vortex]

Hello everyone. I used to play halo. Long time ago. The one with the firefight with infinite waves on it. I forget which one that was.

Is infinite as good as that one or better?

[meager linden]

Good morning Spartans

[errant canopy]

Morning it’s 1 am but my sleep schedule has been so bad lately that it feels like it’s 4 am so basically I just mentally told myself I’m not going to be conscious tomorrow and I can stay up as late as I want 💀

[tawny osprey]

Can we get a uhhh playable brute

[novel tiger]

forerunner

or precursor

halo : the flood war

[tawny osprey]

my brother in christ playable precursors would break the game

[novel tiger]

with flood just like...yo...nice ship you got there ...sucks that i have STAR ROADS

[novel tiger]

throw galaxy at you why not

[tawny osprey]

Can we get a uhhh Halo Planetside

[novel tiger]

actually would be cool as heck

just you playing as regular marine

and max suit is you turn into spartans

[tawny osprey]

Imagine dropping into battle as a ODST

Side note: I wish they didn't make Halo Multiplayer related to canon because that apparently prevents us from having playable elites

They could have had it as like, a joint SOS-UNSC training thing for Spartans and Elites, but least we have 2, 3 and reach

[vast pilot]

i heard halo is moving to unreal. thats unreal bro

[signal wedge]

we need playable grunts

[tawny osprey]

Grunt with a gravity hammer

oh my goodness I just noticed that the Cannon Fodder in Halo Wars 2 are wearing the Heretic Grunt harness from Halo 2

[novel tangle]

is this jotunn map made in forge?

[gaunt lance]

Halo is dead am I right guys or what

Sloodnis enabled lmao

3,2,1 take this thang up to my head and twist it

What, what, aye, aye, what, what, whooooooo?

[tawny osprey]

what is bro yapping about

[gaunt lance]

Idk bro did you just randomly think about your ex like I did

[gaunt lance]

Merty what are you yapping about bro

[faint mantle]

Game updates

[gaunt lance]

If you don't mind me asking, is it the art you're using as your profile picture that you're trying to share? I recognise the artstyle

[atomic pike]

Fomo is making me consider Blops 6. Not sure if I'd regret it

Might just do a month of GPass

[rare cedar]

Not a bad idea

It’s like renting the game from Blockbuster for a while

[worthy ginkgo]

That’s what I did it’s fun enough for a game pass game

[atomic pike]

Yeah I think you're right boys. I'm sure it'll be fun for a month. $20 is better than $70

[obsidian wyvern]

enough time to complete the campaign at least

[rare cedar]

^

gunna start that here soon

[obsidian wyvern]

there's no coop for cod games is there

[worthy ginkgo]

I actually thought the mw3 campaign was pretty fun not pay full price fun but play it on game pass for a little bit fun

[jade gust]

I think they experimented with it for Black Ops 3? But don't know about co-op being there for others

[obsidian wyvern]

I remember there being splitscreen but idk about online coop

[normal owl]

Good morning! Are you a fan of Call of Duty/interested in checking out Black Ops 6?

[meager linden]

No

[graceful inlet]

I heard there's supposed to be a halo collaboration for some call of duty. If there was, I'd probably download some call of duty and buy the halo dlc.😅

[restive vortex]

hey

i am but i cant afford it

[obsidian wyvern]

it got cancelled

cod ruining their look with all these collabs irritates me ngl

Thank you

[signal wedge]

Halo - Beyonce

[obsidian wyvern]

been years since I have so id need to relearn it

[amber mirage]

Shoot zombies. Don't die

Learn as you go

[obsidian wyvern]

I don't think it'll be too hard to learn if it's like the older games

[normal owl]

You playing BO6?

[amber mirage]

Not for a while

Probably around the start of next year

[obsidian wyvern]

Tomorrow is 9th year anniversary when Halo 5 are released

[jade gust]

I'm gonna be having a fancy meal tomorrow (It's a celebration meal for my mum's birthday)

[livid trout]

Have you guys seen the new Kat figure from Sideshow Collectibles? I think they forgot something

[hasty zinc]

who knows

it's a rampant issue

I lost 6 hours of campaign saves

[eager sorrel]

How's the new cod look 💀

[tranquil sleet]

cod bo6 is actually fun

[eager sorrel]

It looks like the same game from last year except worse

[tranquil sleet]

what was the last years game? i forgot

[jade gust]

Well it's set in the 90s this time round

[eager sorrel]

Mw3

[tranquil sleet]

1991

[eager sorrel]

Being set in the 90s isn't very innovative

[tranquil sleet]

oh yeah
no this isnt that, its got all the classic multiplayer mechanics, good story, great performance and its zombies is VERY fun

[eager sorrel]

Doesn't it take like 300 hits to die to zombies now?

[tranquil sleet]

no..?

[eager sorrel]

I saw a clip of a dude getting swarmed and survived somehow. Barely tried too.

[granite sky]

maybe if he was last standing i think some get overshield

[tranquil sleet]

takes like 3 headshots in later rounds

[eager sorrel]

I'm saying for zombies to down you

[amber mirage]

I like how you haven't played the game and are commenting on it's quality

[obsidian wyvern]

bruh

[eager sorrel]

Who said I haven't played it 😉

[tranquil sleet]

whos the main character then

[eager sorrel]

Game was available in beta

[amber mirage]

Implied from this

[tranquil sleet]

yeah beta 💀

[jade gust]

Your question about how the game looks implies you haven't played it

[eager sorrel]

Frank in a wheelchair

No one cares about the campaign

[tranquil sleet]

no

main character is william

[eager sorrel]

Wow what a great black ops character we all know and love. Maybe bo7 will have him too.

[tranquil sleet]

no, you will know him by his codename

[eager sorrel]

Ok who actually finds the new cod story's in 2024 interesting.

[tranquil sleet]

i found bo6 interesting

[eager sorrel]

I'm pretty sure most people don't even get the first achievement in the campaigns if you look closely.

[tranquil sleet]

it was more down to earth and realistic

[eager sorrel]

Was it 2 hours like mw3?

[tranquil sleet]

0.08% had it when i unlocked it, but i got the achievment like 20 minutes after launch

[eager sorrel]

All I know is that multiplayer was not fun

[tranquil sleet]

took me 7 and a half hours

[eager sorrel]

So wait did you buy it or gamepass

[tranquil sleet]

but i rushed through, didnt get collectibles or explore or anything

[tranquil sleet]

obv gamepass

who buys games in 2024

[eager sorrel]

Uh everyone

[tranquil sleet]

nuh uh

[eager sorrel]

So you're telling me no one buys physical copies of silent Hill 2

[tranquil sleet]

i got 2 free multipayer skins and a weapon for playing with gamepass

[tranquil sleet]

never heard of it

[eager sorrel]

Oh bro

[tranquil sleet]

jk

[tranquil sleet]

i was making a joke btw i do buy games

[amber mirage]

This is the part where you learn that different kinds of people exist and painting in broad strokes isn't accurate most times.

[tranquil sleet]

i bought 3 games in the past week

[eager sorrel]

I still don't see the appeal to gamepass but like 90% of the games I own physically or digitally because they're super discounted all the time anyways.

[tranquil sleet]

[tranquil sleet]

because i can instantly download games with no payment

[eager sorrel]

What about the payment for yearly gamepass

[tranquil sleet]

bo6 is a £60 i got for dirt cheap

[tranquil sleet]

CDkeys sells gamepass codes for cheeeaappp

[eager sorrel]

Wait so you did buy bo6 💀?

[tranquil sleet]

no? gamepass costs a bit of money

[eager sorrel]

To be completely fair I think it makes sense to buy bo6 over gamepass

[tranquil sleet]

helldivers 2 is a legendary game, but you are a traitor.

[amber mirage]

It's like Netflix or other streaming services. You pay and get access to everything on the catalog instead of having to buy each and every thing.

[eager sorrel]

Buying a game for dirt cheap over paying a continued service makes more sense

Plus ownership

[tranquil sleet]

so buy one game rather than pay £3.99 a month for over 100 hundred games?

[candid solar]

Oop

There's swears in that

[tranquil sleet]

"Ownership"

[candid solar]

MB

[tranquil sleet]

discord is 13+ we can handle some light swearing lol

[eager sorrel]

Well yeah, I physically own most games on gamepass for 360 Xbox and one so I don't need a service

Digitally for the arcade games

[candid solar]

It's against server rules :>`

[tranquil sleet]

devs still take away games even if you "own" them

[eager sorrel]

Not if I have the physical copy

[tranquil sleet]

you buy a licence to play them, you dont buy the game

[amber mirage]

Physical copies are still just licenses

[regal palm]

Yo vvd

[tranquil sleet]

ubisoft did it twice with The Crew, even if you own it physically you cant play it

[hasty zinc]

discs nowadays are physical license checks

[eager sorrel]

Sure for maybe games like cod or the crew where they specifically do that but not for games made by quality devs

[tranquil sleet]

or for collecting

[hasty zinc]

yea

[tranquil sleet]

ubisoft still make alright games tbh

[eager sorrel]

Their stocks disagree

[tranquil sleet]

uhh ok

[eager sorrel]

You do know about their three recent failures right?

[tranquil sleet]

im not a business man so idc about stocks

[tranquil sleet]

star wars outlaws was mid but other than taht no

[eager sorrel]

Ubisoft boutta go bankrupt if they don't pull a Rayman

[eager sorrel]

Skull and bones and xdefiant

[tranquil sleet]

just release AC shadows and they make money, its actually a good game

[eager sorrel]

Far cry and assassins creed mid

[tranquil sleet]

xdefiant had ALOT of players pal

[eager sorrel]

They're going to shut it down if it doesn't get more

[tranquil sleet]

we arent allowed to swear here. so i wont.
AC is not bad.

[eager sorrel]

AC is pretty cookie cutter

[tranquil sleet]

if they are about to shut it down why did they just release a huge event and update?

[eager sorrel]

Probably to get players back

[tranquil sleet]

shadows isnt, its refreshing and its actually a good one

[eager sorrel]

One man's trash is another man's treasure I suppose

[tranquil sleet]

I played ac shadows and trust me AC is so back

[eager sorrel]

You ever play rdr2 or God of war?

[tranquil sleet]

rdr2 is kinda mid
I dont have a playstation for GoW

[eager sorrel]

And you think assassins creed is good?

And you like bo6

[tranquil sleet]

yes? better than rdr2

[eager sorrel]

😭🤣

[tranquil sleet]

no i enjoyed it but i wont go back to play it, its not that good but its a fun time for a bit

[eager sorrel]

I'm sorry like I said before. Trash treasure.

[tranquil sleet]

rdr2 is so realistic its bad, everything is slow, boring and not worth my time

[eager sorrel]

Do you like metal gear

[tranquil sleet]

metal gear is great

[eager sorrel]

Use deadeye more idk

[tranquil sleet]

except survive that was...

[tranquil sleet]

no i mean to play the actual story 90% of it is walking on a horse for 20 mins to start the mission 💀

[eager sorrel]

You know you can fast travel right?

[tranquil sleet]

no?

[eager sorrel]

In red dead yeah you can fast travel

At camp or campfire

[tranquil sleet]

wait rdr2 has basic features that make it a somewhat functional game

[eager sorrel]

Horse goes with you too

[tranquil sleet]

what camp

[eager sorrel]

Um yeah it literally is one of the best selling games ever made

97 on metacritic

[tranquil sleet]

wait im meant to return to that camp?

[eager sorrel]

If you want. It's very immersive and you decide what cowboy does

You can meet a time traveler too

A robot an alien ship

The saddest story ever told

[tranquil sleet]

that doesnt matter, they gave alien isolation like a 10/100, those guys votes and critics are crap

[eager sorrel]

Alien isolation was critically acclaimed

Getting a sequel game too

[tranquil sleet]

ign gave it a 10/100
metacritic gave it a 27

[tranquil sleet]

yeah after 10 years because the devs thought everyone hated it 😭

[eager sorrel]

Metacritic gave it like a 79 or 80

[tranquil sleet]

yeah they updated it now but at launch they were terrible

[eager sorrel]

The reviews are based on when it launched

[tranquil sleet]

yeah they re-reviewed it, they gave it a terrible score at launch

[eager sorrel]

27 is like ride to hell retribution bad

[fickle drift]

Is 5.9 meant to be 10/100

[eager sorrel]

I'm also not mentioning ign just metacritic

[tranquil sleet]

yeah they do it out of 10 i do it out of 100 force of habit

[amber mirage]

Math ain't mathing here

[fickle drift]

Okay so 5.9 out of ten doesn't mean 59 out of 100

I'm lost but okay

[eager sorrel]

Ok but do you like souls games and elden ring

Because if not then some things making sense here

[fickle drift]

Not batting for IGN or anything given their reviews are all over the place but like, lets not be hyperbolic

[eager sorrel]

Ign doesn't like water in games either

[tranquil sleet]

"frustrating ai"

"Loses the fear"

IGN is stupid

[fickle drift]

Well yes you can't spell ignorant without ign and all that.

All I'm asking is where is the 10/100

[tranquil sleet]

the AI is actually fair and realistic for an xbox 360 game and the graphics and dlc is good

[tranquil sleet]

I DONT KNOW OKAY

[amber mirage]

IGN isn't a monolith. It's an assortment of different reviewers, each with their tastes.

[tranquil sleet]

ign is a massive company

[eager sorrel]

That's why you have to look at the whole market reviews because going off one non peer reviewed review is dumb

[tranquil sleet]

their spread is big

[amber mirage]

Reviews aren't peer-reviewed

[tranquil sleet]

im gonna play rust

[amber mirage]

They're not research studies

[eager sorrel]

I just mean someone fact checking them

They are very wrong with reviews for TV shows too

[jade gust]

Some people have different tastes

[fickle drift]

iirc their Nier Automata Review only considered up to the first ending which is hilarious

[jade gust]

Like, reviews shouldn't be taken as a be all and end all of if something is good or not

[eager sorrel]

But they miss facts a lot of the time and make it part of their review and the rating

[jade gust]

Oh that's actually really funny

Like, that's not even half of that game completed

Do they not understand the insanity and genious of Yoko Taro?

[eager sorrel]

I really doubt they even wanted to finish it

[fickle drift]

But yeah given the broad range of reviewers leading to a lack of consistency, hyper-focus on 'mainstream' titles, and need to rush reviews out as soon as possible, they're not ones I seek out for an opinion personally.

[eager sorrel]

For all they care cuphead is unbeatable

The best place to find game reviews is from the community itself imo

[hasty zinc]

idk about that

have you been here for long?

[jade gust]

I like to see reviews as a way to set my expectations, but ultimately, whether or not a game is good or fun or bad and horrible is dependant on personal experience

[eager sorrel]

I mean ign gave blops 3 like a 9.2 but you ask anyone who plays bo3 and they'll tell you it's the worst campaign outside of bo4 with its no campaign

[hasty zinc]

the only review I trust is my own

[eager sorrel]

The only reviews I don't trust are definitely ign reviews

And some others

But like if you asked me to review an assassins creed game you know I'm going to give it a low score you ask ign they'll probably give it a high score

[fickle drift]

I tend to prefer more mechanically involved reviews tbh, it takes a while for me to get to most games so I have the luxury of waiting around for that

Recent example would be AC Mirage, which I was interested in until I saw Whitelight's video.

Conversely you've got Shadow Generations which has been fantastic if a bit short.

[meager linden]

Good night Spartans

[jade gust]

From what I know of AC Mirage, it's basically trying to fit mechanics that work better in the RPG open world games into a more traditional Assassin's Creed

[eager sorrel]

Ok you have to admit the Ubisoft+ subscription service is literally something no one asked for

[hasty zinc]

so I uninstalled COD to reinstall and see if it helps

can't even reinstall it

[eager sorrel]

Would you like better hearing with that for an extra $20?

[obsidian wyvern]

the multiplayer still sucks

[eager sorrel]

That much I knew from the beta

[fickle drift]

Halo fan bias smh 😤

[obsidian wyvern]

and zombies seems bad

[eager sorrel]

Yep

[jade gust]

We all know the best Halo is that one Mountain Dew promo game they made to promote Halo 4

[eager sorrel]

Gta VI is the only game from a corporation that I'm looking forward to

[jade gust]

Hey, better a game that's short and fun than long and terrible (Oh how I wish Scarlet and Violet weren't as horrible as they were)

[grave rapids]

Gta 6 probably wont come out

[eager sorrel]

Gta 6 completely cancelled. Sorry fans.

[grave rapids]

Somehow my name got me a warning☠️

[eager sorrel]

We've waited too long

[grave rapids]

10000 years later: YAY TRAILER FOR GTA 7

[eager sorrel]

I mean given their track record they can get a pass but it better be the best game ever

[meager linden]

Halo 5 deserves to be transferred to PC

[eager sorrel]

Who's gonna play it?

[grave rapids]

Not me

[fickle drift]

[eager sorrel]

Yeah not me either

What we really need is halo 3 anniversary

[fickle drift]

I'd play it to get the last two achievements I need

[jade gust]

I want Halo 5 on PC purely for campaign mods

[obsidian wyvern]

[jade gust]

And yeah, no H3A, it ain't needed, even if the faces have started to show their age

[eager sorrel]

I wouldn't even play halo 5 again if you put a plasma rifle to my head

[obsidian wyvern]

okay

[jade gust]

Cool, I don't need that kind of motivation to replay a game

[eager sorrel]

Halo 3 cutscenes by blur studios is definitely what the fans want and graphical overhaul to match the old art style

Definitely what the fans have been voicing for years too

[jade gust]

The old artstyle it already has?

[eager sorrel]

Halo 2 anniversary overhauls the graphics and matches it's original art style

[jade gust]

Yes but it still has differences from the original game. Some assets are also reused from Reach and Halo 4

[eager sorrel]

Ok so basically you're saying no the fans don't want the halo 2 anniversary treatment for halo 3. That's a cool individual opinion for you to have.

[jade gust]

You're putting words in my mouth, I speak for myself, not for the whole community

And there's plenty I've spoke to who would rather not have a H3A

[eager sorrel]

Right and it's cool for you to have that individual opinion

[jade gust]

So why claim I said that no fans want a H3A?

[eager sorrel]

You said it ain't needed, it's needed

Games get remastered all the time even GoldenEye 007 had a remaster like halo 1 and 2 did

[fickle drift]

Which was abysmal

[obsidian wyvern]

it isn't needed

[eager sorrel]

No, the Xbla unreleased GoldenEye remaster is amazing and basically completed

[fickle drift]

Oh so you're not talking Reloaded, ig that'd qualify as a remake moreso anyway

[eager sorrel]

Yeah referring to the Xbla unreleased remaster that had ce anniversary elements to it

[jade gust]

So what's your reason for why H3A is needed? Genuinely, what about Halo 3 in MCC necessitates a full remaster akin to H2A?

[fickle drift]

The only argument I've seen is Blur cutscenes which are expensive af to produce.

[eager sorrel]

Oh no I really hope the corporate conglomerate can afford it

[jade gust]

And Blur are too busy these days working on Sonic films or doing stuff for Disney

[fickle drift]

Unless you, want the Jerry-can Warthog in H3 which I don't myself

[hasty zinc]

they should just leave the old games alone

[jade gust]

But I like my jerry-can warthogs...

[hasty zinc]

they've been through enough already

[eager sorrel]

I mean halo 2 anniversary is amazing

They're definitely not going to just leave them alone either

[fickle drift]

It let us play H2 on modern hardware so for that it's cool.

[hasty zinc]

I'd rather resources go to new adventures

[jade gust]

Maybe some resources can go towards Unggoy Farmer being made

[eager sorrel]

Why not have a team remaster and a core development team make new adventures then like any other franchise would do?

[hasty zinc]

nothing says they can't

[obsidian wyvern]

just put the resources to a new gameee

[hasty zinc]

I would just rather they didn't

[eager sorrel]

For how long we have waited and the quality that has been delivered there is no reason they couldn't have done that

[obsidian wyvern]

I don't wanna play CE again in new graphics, give me a new storyyy

[fickle drift]

I don't deny some folk would want to play 'insert old game but newer'
Many of the same folk who would also say 'why did they change X 343 Halo Studios ruin everything'

[eager sorrel]

Everything is pointing in the direction of a ce remake and I'm not really wanting that necessarily. I think that would take too long compared to remastering halo 3

[fickle drift]

They already have remastered H3, they just didn't layer a worse performing graphics engine overtop like they did with the past two

[jade gust]

It's not like Halo has the luxury of a franchise like Resident Evil where the remakes were made to improve upon aspects of the originals (To varying degrees of success) while also developing new stories like RE7 and 8 (With 9 in development currently)

Like, Halo remakes wouldn't really serve a meaningful purpose

[fickle drift]

Plus what would they do for the multiplayer, throw remakes into Infinite which...they already did

[eager sorrel]

I mean that would be cool if it did the re remake thing

No more infinite please

Please

[jade gust]

If I recall, back when CEA released, people hated the multiplayer being just Reach's with CE maps remade for it

[fickle drift]

Then it'd be what, remake all of H3's MP in Unreal 5...at which point how is this less resource intensive than the CE remake

[eager sorrel]

It's either they remaster 3 anniversary or they will just catch up to remaking 3 after ce and 2

Either way I think we are repeating a cycle

[fickle drift]

Christ remaking the whole trilogy, that's even worse

[eager sorrel]

Well yeah and I agree

[jade gust]

At that point, I'd rather they just use those resources to make the new game's resources

[fickle drift]

This is both 'stuck in the past' while baiting the innevitable 'why did they change x'

[eager sorrel]

Like if we just got a halo 3 anniversary maybe we wouldn't have to worry about remaking an entire trilogy

But at the same time I see the points

[fickle drift]

Right but I'm saying what do they do for the multiplayer

[eager sorrel]

Isn't it obvious? Monetize the absolute heck out of everything we know.

Battle pass it up!

[fickle drift]

No resource wise I mean

[eager sorrel]

Oh lol I was just kidding. Probably unreal engine

But yeah I really hope we don't have to wait 9 years for a trilogy I'm already familiar with to end again

[fickle drift]

It just sounds like a complete waste of time, because it isn't moving the franchise forward nor will it appeal to die-hards because of inevitable changes

Nor is it needed because we can already play H3 as is on modern hardware

[jade gust]

Last thing Halo needs right now is to be constantly retreading its past

[eager sorrel]

They should unironically make a mega block or Lego game I'm dead serious

Actually release it this time

[fickle drift]

I mean hey any spin-off would be better than another drought

[jade gust]

Like, cool, the Mark V looked awesome in the UE demo, but it was very clearly the asset from Infinite and used for the demo

[eager sorrel]

And the flood was just environmental not AI or anything

[jade gust]

I wanna know what the Endless are and see them in a fight

[hasty zinc]

my call of duty broke so bad I might have to reinstall windows

[eager sorrel]

We need to see a lot more

[eager sorrel]

This year sounds incredible. Hopefully I get the same effect on the ps5

[eager sorrel]

Remember when cod tried to revisit a trilogy by doing mw over again. Remember how that turned out.

[jade gust]

The new MW trilogy isn't a remake, it's a reboot

And if I recall, people loved MW 2019

[eager sorrel]

I know but for all we know the ce remake could be a reboot

[eager sorrel]

Just the campaign not the mp trust me everyone hates it

Star Fox fans know the struggle of having to go through reboots

[jade gust]

And you're using the MW reboot as evidence that a rumoured game is a reboot?

[eager sorrel]

No? I'm just saying no one wants a reboot.

We want new

Telling the same events again is not what I want unless obviously remastered cutscenes from blur with h3

I'm just saying the halo remake could be a reboot it could tell the events but do some negating to events at the same time

Just even more confusing for fans

[obsidian wyvern]

did u not just say u want a h3a lol

[eager sorrel]

New cutscenes tho

New graphics not new game

[granite sky]

yea it was a bummer. there is a good mod for H3 ODST that looks exactly like CEA multi shouldve been, only 2 maps tho. But Halo 1 pc had some sick maps like Danger Canyon or Infinity that were never remade. Infinity would be decent for Infinite bc larger lobby but it's oversized map

[obsidian wyvern]

same thing

[eager sorrel]

Ok but that's not anywhere near the scale of rebooting a series

[jade gust]

It would still be retreading the past when Halo needs to move forward

[eager sorrel]

I mean that's ok sometimes but it shouldn't be the main focus like a reboot is

[hasty zinc]

alright, windows wipe time ttyl

[jade gust]

Aye, I've seen that mod and agreed that some of those CE maps deserve to be remade at some point

[eager sorrel]

Like I said the GoldenEye Xbla remaster is a good example of preservation to an already good game. It gives you an option. Ps studios remasters PS4 games and they sell well so I don't doubt halo fans would buy a halo 3 anniversary

Now is the horizon remaster actually worth it well that's up to you

Or the until dawn remaster

But you see horizon or the last of us getting these remastered games and continues to have a franchise. Why can't halo do the same.

The point is I don't see a problem with halo 3 a but I don't want a reboot

Also halo has moved forward since atleast 2015. It's obvious the reason we don't get more halo games is because Microsoft management is too afraid to take risks and chances and shuts down ideas like the mega block game or the helldiver's type game. Maybe if we could do that we can move forward even more and still get some of the old stuff remastered.

[tawny osprey]

hello

[eager sorrel]

Halo

[eager sorrel]

Yo 420 guess what I'm doing rn

[tawny osprey]

Smoking that brute pack

[eager sorrel]

That stench... I've smelled it before

[tawny osprey]

GAME THEORY: Do brutes have the best packs? (And not the formation)

[eager sorrel]

Those grunts got that wacky pack. Makes my lungs feel like plasma grenades going off

[tawny osprey]

YO ZAPPAP, PUFF PUFF GIVE, THATS THE RULE.

COUGH COUGH COUGH

[eager sorrel]

That master kief do be hitting

[hasty zinc]

Dang it's over guys /s

[tawny osprey]

Why is every mf saying Halo is Dead showing Master Chief with a rainbow visor or something like that

[meager linden]

Glad that I never read news from Google

[fickle drift]

It’s joever 😔

[obsidian wyvern]

who's it by

[tawny osprey]

I like old halo more but I think I'm going crazy seeing all these "Woke Bad!" videos now

[eager sorrel]

This

[hasty zinc]

Idk not clicking it

[obsidian wyvern]

[hasty zinc]

Ok fine

[jade gust]

Some people think that people who are different to them don't deserve to exist. Those people who think that are not worth the time

[hasty zinc]

November hotel whoever that is

[obsidian wyvern]

never heard of them

[jade gust]

And like, Chief would absolutely support people who are LGBT+

[obsidian wyvern]

anyway enjoy Google recommending more of them to you

[hasty zinc]

Nooooo

[tawny osprey]

He don't care if your gay

[hasty zinc]

You tricked me

[tawny osprey]

There is a actual war going on

[eager sorrel]

I mean most socioethic problems today wouldn't be issues in the halo timeline since they're ahead of us

To blame the whole series over LGBT issues is stupid

[tawny osprey]

I just want the game to be FUN

[eager sorrel]

Exactly and apparently inclusivity isn't fun for bigots even though it's there for individuals to choose to have in their profile or something like a calling card

[boreal dragon]

hello chat

[tawny osprey]

This Culture War bs has gone too far. I am against some things like shoving meaningless politics in games, but simple representation is something I could care less about

[boreal dragon]

do you think chief could win a fight against apple'd sportacus

[eager sorrel]

Well the funny thing is most bigots haven't actually met a gay man or a LGBT person or even people with other types of identity

[tawny osprey]

I dont want to worry about that, I wanna play the game where I am a big guy in armor fragging aliens

[jade gust]

Have you ever played Metroid? You fight aliens in that series as someone in armour

[eager sorrel]

Apparently people forget that Samus is a woman

[tawny osprey]

Nah, but I would love to play Metroid Prime

[jade gust]

I haven't thankfully

[tawny osprey]

Even as a Christian myself its not about hatred, its about spreading love, not hate.

[eager sorrel]

Lol if you say so. I say it's about social control.

You can be a great outstanding person with no faith

[tawny osprey]

That is true, and I don't treat others differently based on their faith

[eager sorrel]

My biggest problem with Christianity is that they think I owe their God something even though I'm not Christian

I think I'm more of a covenant follower than a Christian tbh

I personally think our existence is meant to activate the ark but hey we all disagree

[boreal dragon]

even if someone isnt a christian themself 'love thy neighbor' is honestly a pretty good way to approach life in general i think

[eager sorrel]

I mean why else did they just leave artifacts and arrays around the galaxy

I'm going to activate the rings

[tawny osprey]

I'm tired of Hate man, everywhere rn is hate, hate, hate like AM just got made manifest

Why can't we all just play Halo as homies doing CTF matches man...

[eager sorrel]

What's scary is hateful people vote

[boreal dragon]

especially with election season over here in the states people are so much more nasty to eachother it sucks to see

[eager sorrel]

The election can't come sooner my guy

Stressin

[tawny osprey]

Evil is not born, it is taught. These people have been brainwashed into a world of hatred and lies

[eager sorrel]

I think evil is an opportunity that anyone can take. It can be taught but some people exploit others to get to the top like corporate powers that rely on inequalities in our policy making.

Good people turn bad every day and it's because of cumulative disadvantages or inequalities

The question is how do we move forward instead of wanting to go backwards

I personally don't find the past nostalgic if it means others suffer

[tawny osprey]

I do want to become a Politician in my later years so I can help others, but I worry that power will come to my head sometimes.

[eager sorrel]

Just remember there are two sides in this country and you don't have to agree with both but you can make decisions to get us forward

Politicians are a good example of good people that can turn bad. They can do things behind her backs because they have special privileges

[tawny osprey]

I view myself as a Moderate

[eager sorrel]

I view myself as progressive

But I also like to see change for the better

Change is scary for humans too

And you think about how change can affect one group but then it negatively affects another.

It's important to just see both sides but to definitely think what do we do to move forward instead of conflict and going backwards

[tawny osprey]

I want to help my people, help bring fourth a era of unity and enlightenment, progression to reach beyond our system, and explore the other stars in the endless sea of space

[eager sorrel]

If you want to help people exploring the stars shouldn't be a big priority just saying because it does cost a lot of money and the payoff is what you think it'll be

We have to focus on earth because that's where we are now and with the way things unfold it can change or stay the same.

But you can do it. You will be president Spartan 420. I'll be sure to vote for you by Nov 5th

The biggest issues right now are regarding policy addressing inequalities. So you would want to think about how to address poverty and food insecurity and welfare dependency.

Politics ain't my thing so I'll let you do all the thinkin since I'm on the grunt wack pack

[rare cedar]

What in tarnation is going on here

[eager sorrel]

We were talking about hateful people and it turned into policy politics and soap boxes

[obsidian wyvern]

[tawny osprey]

I think we should talk about halo in the uhhh. Halo Discord

[eager sorrel]

Halo

[tawny osprey]

The Arbiter missions are the best missions in Halo 2, fight me

[eager sorrel]

Halo 2

Mister halo

[tawny osprey]

John Halo fights Keith Arbiter

[eager sorrel]

Noogie 6 has to go down to the planet to save John halo. His feline friend and his meal done make it.

Happiest ending ever

So when boble 7 saves green Mario they go to the pillar of August.

[faint mantle]

No politics, y'all. Remember that.
