general-chat

[iron thicket]

I wonder if people in the Halo universe make Saving Private Ryan-esque movies about the Human - Covenant War

[raw crag]

Idk. I just kinda wanted to see chief kill him

[normal owl]

Imagining that made me chuckle.

[heavy steppe]

I was joking. Political and ethical views are a part of the reason people don't like Marty, but I'd rather leave that to rest to not stir anything

[forest lagoon]

Yall would keep going too, I just know it. Ya'll already made it this far

[bright shoal]

And you're telling me at the sight of bodies and what seems to be broken chambers that used to CONTAIN SOMETHING they thought "yeah lets open it"

[restive plover]

But at least we had closure. Many characters' arcs are left open.

[bright shoal]

Halo always had weird writing choices ever since CE

[heavy steppe]

how in the hell could anyone predict the flood, though?

[bright shoal]

the floods introduction was one of them

[bright shoal]

you're telling me only one Marine had the common sense to realize it was a bad idea?

[raw crag]

Halo is the worst franchise of all time. Roblox better

[golden sky]

Yeah bro, 343 had the golden goose, even with the way halo 3 ended

[candid solar]

I always find it funny that people act like they wouldn't act just like horror film characters when literal studies have been done that shows that not only do people act like horror game characters, they're often worse.

[bright shoal]

No thanks 😭

[raw crag]

Everytime someone insults 343 I feel another vein pop in my forehead from anger

[iron thicket]

I feel like most people would just shut down

[naive turret]

I want this for the remake.

[bright shoal]

If there's clear signs not to open something, IM NOT OPENING IT

[jade gust]

Not saying it hasn't, but there is a reason Keyes and the marines was there, and they didn't want to risk the Covenant having better weapons

[restive plover]

Yea, plenty of people that spar are surprise at how lacking they are in a real confrontation. When all the cooperation is out the window and the other guy just wants to smash your face.

[candid solar]

Like I can mindgame all I want about how I'd react to a guy kicking in my door and trying to shoot me, but actually being at that level of preparedness is stressful and stupid.

[bright shoal]

ESPECIALLY if there's bodies and my enemy is fighting harder than they ever have before with desperation

[golden sky]

Well, 343, even if some of you like their games, thay often alienated the fanbase, and the charts always speak for themselves

[candid solar]

You, quite literally, would not be able to tell the difference outside of a fictional setting.

[bright shoal]

weapons cache? all of that for a weapons cache? my heart would drop so fast after seeing the first body

[heavy steppe]

I don't think only one marine thought it was a bad idea, just that the risk the Covenant potentially obtaining a weapon from something that can literally kill every living organism in the galaxy outweighed any possible other threat in Keyes' mind

[bright shoal]

Im putting myself in their shoes, no knowledge of the flood

[jade gust]

The date being incorrect better be kept as well

[candid solar]

I'm not talking about the flood.

[outer prairie]

Hello

[bright shoal]

I'm talking about the flood

[unkempt sage]

hey man

[candid solar]

I'm saying you wouldn't really be able to notice the Covenant 'fighting harder than normal'.

[jade gust]

Dead bodies are bound to be seen in a war

[unkempt sage]

whats up?

[heavy steppe]

yeah, but you're not a marine and they are, they're veterans of a 30 year long conflict

[bright shoal]

considering what happened on reach and how easily they did it

[heavy steppe]

Ciao 🙂

[forest lagoon]

Yeah, and you can sprint in roblox!

[bright shoal]

I dont think I'd let that slip my mind at all

[outer prairie]

Ciaoooo

[forest lagoon]

-# I think... i don't play roblox so I don't know

[bright shoal]

which means they should've picked up on it?

30 years of getting stomped just to see your enemy suddenly start fighting like hell over a random weapons cache is one thing

[candid solar]

Even if they somehow did, that still doesn't mean they'd know that it was specifically anything like the flood.

[jade gust]

Not much to pick up on if your enemy of 30 years opens fire on you from where you think a weapon's cache is

Like, they're still trying to kill you

[bright shoal]

finding an elites body torn from the inside out with broken containment chambers is another thing

[golden sky]

Anyway, I hope the best for this franchise I love deary, hope that halo studios learned from 343s mistakes (there are signs they haven't). All the best for halo nonetheless.

[heavy steppe]

which means the Covenant gaining forerunner weapons from a super-weapon that can kill everything in the galaxy outweighs any potential downside that may occur from breaching the supposed weapons cache

[bright shoal]

AND A HEAVILY LOCKED DOOR IS THE FINAL STRAW

[bright shoal]

yes but you're telling me these marines especially Keys of all people wouldn't move with a ton more caution?

[candid solar]

So other things it could be beyond 'ancient evil' would include; A literal Prophet, a High Value Target, a major religious figure they found, et cetera.

[opal seal]

Anyone see the new IT series? 10 mins in and I’m already traumatized 😭

[jade gust]

A heavily locked door could mean anything if you don't know the context as to why it's locked

[normal owl]

There's only one way to find out who's right between @candid solar and @bright shoal.

[jade gust]

Like, there could've been anything behind the door from the Ark of the Covenant to the last can of Halo Mountain Dew as far as the marines were concerned

[bright shoal]

after seeing a body and taking notes of everything else going on whilst entering this "weapons cache"

[candid solar]

You're already in a swamp, at night, fighting aliens. Your paranoia is already max peak.

Without context of the threat, humans rationalize more often than they don't.

[heavy steppe]

make them fight the flood

[normal owl]

Exactly.

[bright shoal]

Okay you're right

[raw crag]

Make them 1v1 master chief

[bright shoal]

🥹

[opal seal]

1v1 halo Fortnite

[jade gust]

They couldn't risk leaving the weapons they thought were inside to the Covenant. It's not like they suffered lots of losses getting into the facility

[heavy steppe]

what does that mean? You just said names of video game franchises

[bright shoal]

Oh yeah you'd be a spartan alright, but you're assigned to a flood containment fireteam

[opal seal]

Halo skins 1v1 on Fortnite

[candid solar]

There's several conclusions you could draw without assuming the thread is in the cache.

Maybe they're spread too thin, so they're fighting like hell to survive because they can't get reinforcements.

Maybe they're defending a major religious icon they found in the cache they really don't want humans desecrating.

Maybe they are led by a particularly capable commander in terms of troop motivation, or defending a religious leader sanctifying the site.

Maybe the locked door is because of any of the above.

[jade gust]

Master Chief and two Mark VII clad Spartans are in Fortnite

[opal seal]

Was joking

[unkempt sage]

Halo Campaign Evolved??

[heavy steppe]

I know, I have the chief bundle and the energy sword

[golden sky]

I wonder how they are gonna do the cutscene of the flood attacking the batch of marines and the captain. It looked glitchy on the original.

[bright shoal]

pretty sure seeing the body and containment chambers being busted open would tell me otherwise

[jade gust]

Filter over the camera, just like how it was in the original

[bright shoal]

if something is broken open and there are dead things around, clearly something GOT OUT

[candid solar]

The body can be rationalized as a lot-weapons misfire from this weird ancient alien ring, defense mechanism gone bad. There's a lot of weird stuff you don't recognize.

The containment chambers can be rationalized as wear and tear.

[raw crag]

Okay trenchbird and York need to get a lollipop and a propeller hat and fly away together. No more arguing and be happy and jolly.

[heavy steppe]

again, weapons from an unknown high-tech species whose technology dwarfs that of the Covenant isn't something you'd want to risk leaving for your enemy

[bright shoal]

I'm enjoying this conversation

[golden sky]

That mission, if executed well, if about to get 10x horrifying

[normal owl]

Just one lollipop for the two of them? This is a budget scenario indeed.

[naive turret]

Just do a Miranda and crash the Pelican into the containment facility.

[normal owl]

HAHAHA

[candid solar]

Also, there's not much in the actual design of the facility that would indicate anything particularly 'containment-focused' about the facility, either.

[bright shoal]

Idk, combined with what you said previously with the paranoia of the swamp at night combined with everything else

[tired bloom]

To war

[hasty zinc]

IIRC that scene was the devs actually moving the characters around manually

[bright shoal]

hold on you're right

[jade gust]

Can I have the lollipop instead?

[bright shoal]

why didnt Keys just kick his pilot out of the pelican and crash it into the containment facility, is he stupid?

[normal owl]

ok you can have the first 20 licks, but then you have to share with them.

[jade gust]

Ok

[candid solar]

Your paranoia would mostly be centered on how the observable threat (The Covenant) would be operating to kill you, not what they were fighting so hard for.

[naive turret]

https://tenor.com/view/daffy-duck-lollipop-gif-19176469

[bright shoal]

Idk it feels like in Halo, horror movies dont exist

[candid solar]

Combat stress operates in a somewhat predictable way, in that it focuses primarily on what can be determined by senses before what can be determined by intuition.

[jade gust]

Halo isn't set in a universe where horror films don't exist

[bright shoal]

and if they did, a whopping one marine in that squad watched them

[raw crag]

Who wanna play Fortnite all day and eat candy

[heavy steppe]

tooth decay!

[normal owl]

ugh there's always that one "cinephile" person in the group

[bright shoal]

eitherway putting myself in their shoes I'd also have a bad feeling about it

[naive turret]

oi lol

[bright shoal]

not like I can run though, I'd get shot

doomed to space popcorn no matter what

[candid solar]

I wouldn't be happy opening that door either, but that's mostly because it's a long doorway with zero good cover and I'm the most obvious target in front of it.

[bright shoal]

I wouldn't be happy to open it because of all the stuff Im seeing beforehand 😭

[heavy steppe]

do you guys think Master Chief is bald?

[bright shoal]

yeah

[raw crag]

yeah

[velvet bough]

Elaborate

[hasty zinc]

shaved head at the minimum

[bright shoal]

we see in halo 4 he got bald

[candid solar]

If anything I'd be wishing we didn't use all the high explosives on other stuff because I'd rather blast the door open instead of chancing there being a lot of Covenant choosing not to aim at the doorway.

[heavy steppe]

is he walter white?

[raw crag]

Master chief is a lady with long beautiful hair

[hasty zinc]

ok Monty

[bright shoal]

Chief is an old bald white guy in power armor

who got beat up by a big angry monkey in the latest game

[raw crag]

Like the guy from fnaf

[raw crag]

No he’s a lady with long beautiful hair

[bright shoal]

okay whats the first thing you're doing when you see the space popcorn

[raw crag]

Eat it

[heavy steppe]

Chief is actually highly respected Reneissance philosopher John Locke

[hasty zinc]

thank you H8 for getting it

[bright shoal]

would you dart out of there? because I sure as hell would

[naive turret]

Haloid was great

[naive turret]

Saturn is losing it's rings.

[bright shoal]

Son Devouring Saturn

[raw crag]

Don’t remind me

[bright shoal]

wait fr?

[jade gust]

They need to collect more like Sonic

[heavy steppe]

Saturn got killed by Zeus who got killed by Kratos

[golden sky]

Halo 4, touching button simulator

[bright shoal]

man that stinks

at least saturn still sounds like the screams of the damned

[naive turret]

Need the hunters to eat an orbital near it

[tired bloom]

Ive always assumed he’s always been bald even as a child

[raw crag]

You touch a lot of buttons in 4 due to the 360s limited hardware and they would quickly load the level while the scene played.

[bright shoal]

Saturn MIGHT be hell

[raw crag]

And I feel like have a push button animation is cooler than it just telepathically activating

[naive turret]

You need to pour incense and pray to the door first.

[bright shoal]

Praise the Omnissiah

commence the wright of activation before opening the door

to appease its machine spirit

dont need it

I need a halo game where we're the star of the show again

[heavy steppe]

Arbiter is actually Mike Tyson playing dress up

[bright shoal]

cursed halo arbiter killing truth cutscene

[jade gust]

The Battle Royale trend is very much not where it was a few years ago and at this point, a Halo themed one would just be seen as Halo being really behind on the times

Not to mention there's not really anything unique Halo could bring to the genre which hasn't been done elsewhere, like recharging shields or vehicles

[golden sky]

Actually a battle front 2 style game of halo would go hard, with all those classes and vehicles, ooof what a potential this franchise has man

[jade gust]

And just going with the idea of "Hey, it's a BR game with Halo stuff" isn't gonna keep people playing

[stuck snow]

Halo should add Latina marines

[bright shoal]

dont they already exist

[normal patio]

What if the Arbiter was German and instead of being called Arbiter he was called Arbeiter

[stuck snow]

Only males

[jade gust]

I'm gonna be honest, I would just go and play Battlefront II if I wanted a game like that

[heavy steppe]

I just really love latinas, Sonic

[hasty zinc]

wrong, Halo 2

[stuck snow]

Now why would we wanne have a halo game about j*bs

[bright shoal]

could've sworn there was a latina marine in halo 2

[raw crag]

But if it came out everyone would hate it

[stuck snow]

Yea ik but they aren't bad

[hasty zinc]

Michelle Rodriguez played a marine in Halo 2

[golden sky]

Nah I don't think so

[normal patio]

Even the word censored makes me cringe😬

[verbal nymph]

Which Halo was it where the "1th place" typo happened?

[raw crag]

Firth Plath

[hasty zinc]

MCC

[tacit atlas]

Halo mcc

[hasty zinc]

I think

[golden sky]

A br maybe but a battle front style game is on high demand rn

[bright shoal]

me personally I'm more of a men kinda guy

[normal patio]

Exactly what ich denke

[naive turret]

Yes, a Battlefront game from the Battlefront series

[bright shoal]

I like women dont get me wrong but..men..

[steady jolt]

[golden sky]

That too

[jade gust]

I see people wanting Battlefront III, not more games like Battlefront in general

[stuck snow]

I think halo br should be more of like a hunger games thingie and you drop from a drop you choose and it should be like halo infinite mechanics and like map size of danger zone from csgo

[normal patio]

Women are better than men (imo)

[stuck snow]

In halo*

[bright shoal]

I like both so I win regardless

[tired bloom]

GTA 6 battle royale*

[heavy steppe]

actually, Master Chief and Johnson are men, so that's automatically wrong

[normal patio]

I feel like women tend to be more attractive than men, generally just hotter

[jade gust]

All Battle Royale games were inspired by Hunger Games and what inspired Hunger Games, Battle Royale

[heavy steppe]

sangheili thighs 💔

[bright shoal]

And then along came Femboys

Heyoo guys

[fickle drift]

Idk about you guys but I’m so hyped for the halo campaign evolved

[jade gust]

Unggoy Farmer when?

[stuck snow]

Halo 2 and reach energy sword > any other

[steady jolt]

It's not optional

Anyone else get phantom reloads sometimes? Might just be my wack internet though

[molten pelican]

[naive turret]

I don't remember the Phantom needing to reload no

[raw crag]

I left for like 30 seconds what happened

[bright shoal]

also I know you guys kidnap children and turn them into moderators

[stuck snow]

I loved that or the bug that shot U in the air

[steady jolt]

[zinc geode]

Hi Sam

[stuck snow]

Halo 4 ahhh 😭

[jade gust]

Maybe they played a mod where the Phantom needs to have new batteries loaded into it?

[stuck snow]

Btw all of halo takes place in like less and a few.months

[jade gust]

Like, the Phantom uses 16 AA batteries right?

[bright shoal]

Office of Negligent Parenting

[vagrant kettle]

Is this guy for real

[golden sky]

Yo, why not let Johnson live somehow on the halo 3 remaster, that would be something many won't complain about

[bright shoal]

when did this happen

[hasty zinc]

Halo wars and Infinite would like to counter that statement

[molten pelican]

24 AAA unfortunately

[vagrant kettle]

It uses like 10 of those watch batteries no one ever has

[jade gust]

Ah, I only have AA

[raw crag]

I hate being a halo fan

[naive turret]

It's not like the Spirit where you just put a D battery into each side and you're good.

[molten pelican]

Sucks to suck

[heavy steppe]

go to mombasa in wplace

[raw crag]

I get flashed when I go there. I’m good

[misty marsh]

🤝

[stuck snow]

is it jus me or do y'all not find a single halo reach multiplayer match on MCC on pc

[bright shoal]

my cat is purring and demanding attention

[jade gust]

Aye, that's easy to handle and the compartment for the batteries are easy to get into as well

[stuck snow]

Same thing happens when I talk to mari

[molten pelican]

Diesel batteries

[naive turret]

Is that what the Lich runs on

[jade gust]

Nah, the Lich runs on 9V

But then the cannon needs AA for some reason

[molten pelican]

I thought it was a hemi

[bright shoal]

new halo game where you play as grey team and the only mission is where you massacre and nuke innocent civilians

[golden sky]

I wonder how they are gonna remake halo 2, especially the cutscenes, cus of how good the blurr scenes look

[naive turret]

:pain:

[hasty zinc]

that lore is some of the wildest in Halo

[coral yoke]

don't remember what the lich is but if i had to guess it runs on reanimation magic

[naive turret]

it's the big slug looking-

Yeah

[steady jolt]

Battery sizes are weird, man. We talked about them briefly in the Xbox server the other week. I discovered there's a AA½ size

[iron thicket]

Will they even be doing that?

[bright shoal]

halo 2 doesnt really need a remake tbf

[hasty zinc]

I was looking up the reactor type in halopedia, it's why I had that image ready to go lol

[jade gust]

Well, they've reanimated the cutscenes from CE for the remake, so I'd assume they'll just do that again for Halo 2 if it does get remade

[jade gust]

Best Covenant flying vehicle. I need to joyride in one of these

[vagrant kettle]

I find the idea of an innocent sangheili offensive.

[bright shoal]

I mean, you also still have ONI who's apparently allergic to doing anything competent or not Morally grey at best

[heavy steppe]

they're probably going to make it though, since they took out health packs from CE Remake

[golden sky]

Oh for Microsofts money sake it will happen

[naive turret]

That's a first I've heard of them, idk who comes up with this stuff

[jade gust]

Big battery to force us to buy more batteries

[bright shoal]

Sangheili women and children

[coral yoke]

yeah i knew i was wrong from the start lmao

Plenty of games which have had remasters/rereleases have since had remakes, such as Resident Evil 4 and Persona 3

[bright shoal]

Grey team is the only team in lore to have humanity take an L morally

[hasty zinc]

to be fair, they didn't know the war had ended

[iron thicket]

And CE

[hasty zinc]

idk if they knew it was mostly civillians either

[iron thicket]

Like, that point made no sense

[bright shoal]

yes but they are nuking a planet of innocent beings regardless

[bright shoal]

who do you think sent them?

[naive turret]

The UEG postal service.

[hasty zinc]

I mean gray team specifically didn't know

maybe the others knew, maybe they didn't

I'd have to research more

[bright shoal]

oh nvm even worse

[tired pewter]

Good luck in life king go save them fired

[bright shoal]

Grey team wasn't even ordered to do it they just did it

[jade gust]

As far as Grey Team knew, Earth had just been attacked and they weren't going to recieve any updates going forward

[vagrant kettle]

Excellent initiative

[heavy steppe]

comms were cut off while they were already halfway there practically. So ye, they didn't know

[bright shoal]

they didnt know but they also weren't explicitely told to nuke a planet

[jade gust]

They didn't know if there was any other humans left by the time they made the decision

[bright shoal]

what were they even trying to achieve by exterminating a planet

[heavy steppe]

yeah, but they thought Earth had fallen. They went full MAD

[vagrant kettle]

Exactly

[jade gust]

Like, Grey was behind enemy lines to disrupt things

[hasty zinc]

I mean if they had a chance to take out a major covenant ship building location I can see them wanting to not leave anything behind

[heavy steppe]

[naive turret]

They scored / cameo'd in Legacy yes.

[molten pelican]

They made the music

[misty marsh]

Actual interaction we had, he asked me if I knew the song golden, I said yes and then he asked me to guess his favourite song. I guessed golden and he was genuinely shocked at how I knew

[thick furnace]

may need to rewatch legacy,,

[misty marsh]

I've been wanting to, just haven't found the time and I don't like going to the cinemas without a friend lol

[normal owl]

And they went for 2 with the banger Reconfigured LP too. Still love it.

[molten pelican]

It's honestly not a very good movie, but it is eye/ear candy

[thick furnace]

was gonna go through the whole tron series (movies n games) but like nothing has the 80s tron 💔

[misty marsh]

Tron a great movie, it was my childhood 😔

I'm not the most critical with movies anyway. I loved black widow and was then surprised when the Internet decided to completely flame it

[thick furnace]

some movies hate feels so forced

especially marvel

[molten pelican]

I can get on that new marvel hate train lol

[naive turret]

Nah it's largely justified. It's vindicating to see the general consensus come around too.

[misty marsh]

I loved acolyte which I found funny cause everyone and their mothers told me it was a bad show

[heavy steppe]

if I have to look at another M.O.D.O.K. I'm going to die

[naive turret]

He was the actual hero of that film, ironically enough.

[misty marsh]

Marvel has had some pretty big misses. I was completely turned off from them after miss marvel I won't lie

[heavy steppe]

but he looked so goofy and not in a good way

[thick furnace]

i mean yeah i agree but some people just see marvel now and immediately hate lol

[misty marsh]

Thunderbolts was incredible

[thick furnace]

wasnt modok the guy from ant man 1

[molten pelican]

tbf almost all of their new movies have been massively underwhelming with majority of people being critical about them

[misty marsh]

I refused to watch this cause of some clips that were too cringe for me to stomache

[misty marsh]

Ant man 3

[molten pelican]

That movie shouldn't exist blame Paul Rudd or smthn

[tired bloom]

The MCU started to fall off after endgame imo, watching infinity war and endgame at cinemas was an amazing experience

[misty marsh]

Yellow jacket was antman 1

[thick furnace]

its like a 5/10 at best

[steady jolt]

I could not stop laughing in the cinema every time this thing had screen time. Ridiculous 😂

[heavy steppe]

agreed, it wasn't horror. Like it was a fun movie, but the whole scene where they build a fort with the animatronics is kinda out of place

[naive turret]

I'm not a fan of fnaf but the Henson Creature Shop did great work bringing the animatronics to life.

[thick furnace]

iirc he turned into modok

[misty marsh]

I thought people were joking when they said they'd use the magic of friendship. Why were they building a pillow fort

[heavy steppe]

magic of friendship? what is this a brony con?

[molten pelican]

It's so uncanny lol I just can't believe people sat around and thought "yeah this looks pretty good" when releasing the film

[naive turret]

Speaking of which, Dark Crystal: Age of Resistence. Watch it. And the film. They're phenominal showcases of talent and practical effects.

[haughty palm]

Why he look like that

[naive turret]

Because the animators wanted to go home and see their families.

[molten pelican]

He was rear ended by Rev driving

[thick furnace]

they might just retcon ant man 3 at this point lmao
it led up to nothing since they cancelled the whole kang thing

[misty marsh]

I was mostly put off by how far off the lore it was and I didn't like how the spring lock event was executed and I believed the theory that Fitz and the other guy were aliases for Michael. And yeah it just wasn't scary enough but the second one looks like it'll be fun

[heavy steppe]

It's technically an accurate rappresentation of what he would look like in real life, but...

[haughty palm]

No its not

[molten pelican]

No

[thick furnace]

wouldnt mind ant man 3 being that horrible if it led to a kang avengers movie

[haughty palm]

He isnt bald

[heavy steppe]

isn't he just a big head in on that throne?

[obsidian wyvern]

icl ant man 3 wasn't thaaat bad

[molten pelican]

https://tenor.com/view/bait-thats-bait-tom-hardy-mad-max-gif-5055384

[obsidian wyvern]

but it was a waste of time lol

[naive turret]

Rev please seek help for your taste spuds.

[haughty palm]

Thats yellow jacket with a really big head for some reason

[misty marsh]

Haven't even seen it and I'm worried for u

[obsidian wyvern]

people were saying it was like the worst thing ever, that was just not true

like I said, it was a waste of time

[molten pelican]

That's she hulk, this is close

[naive turret]

Nah it's just bad in a funny way, MoM is much closer to that.

[wheat ridge]

If you listen to people everything is bad

[obsidian wyvern]

MoM sucked

[misty marsh]

I loved MoM 😔

[thick furnace]

genuinely cant stand wanda bro 💔

[obsidian wyvern]

UOURE TELLING ME I NEED HELP

[thick furnace]

MoM and wandavision were so painful to watch

[molten pelican]

I completely forgot about MoM lmao

[obsidian wyvern]

ok back to work nvm

[misty marsh]

🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

[haughty palm]

Fr dont put disrespect on my mothers name lk that

[naive turret]

tfw they were writing the second act as the film was in active production.

[steady jolt]

What's MoM?

[naive turret]

Multiverse of Madness

[misty marsh]

Wanda lowkey scared me in that movie gng it's good

[molten pelican]

Multiverse of madness

[thick furnace]

dr strange 2

[steady jolt]

Oh, ok

[molten pelican]

Now wait a minute. That final battle with the musical notes was choreographed to perfection

[steady jolt]

That was alright. Nowhere near as good as the first, but not terrible

[naive turret]

I can't take the existence of that Strange seriously but it is what it is.

'I killed all the other Stranges who got with Christine' bro what

[steady jolt]

Terrible I reserve for that Suicide Squad sequel with John Cena. I lasted like 15 minutes

[misty marsh]

I need to rewatch cause I only watched it once when it came back tbh

[molten pelican]

Im going to go watch winter soldier now (best marvel movie)

[haughty palm]

😔

[iron thicket]

🥀

[naive turret]

Now that's a good movie. The Triskellion stuff is contrived but otherwise damn good.

[misty marsh]

Ive been telling myself ill rewatch spiderman no way home since it came out and still haven't

[haughty palm]

🎋

[thick furnace]

ngl why didnt they just add the what if strange

[naive turret]

Because Marvel doesn't have cross pollination between their writers.

[thick furnace]

❓

[naive turret]

And like I said, self-admitted they were writing the second act while actively filming it.

[pallid ledge]

Good evening all

Or afternoon I mean in Ohio

[trim saddle]

its close to evening in ohio

[pallid ledge]

Yeah

[trim saddle]

actually, when IS the cutoff for afternoon and evening?

[steady jolt]

People are making things up that haven't even been hinted at

[misty marsh]

5pm

[pallid ledge]

After November 2, it is

Daylight savings time end

[trim saddle]

oh then yeah its evening here, has been for 54 mins

[pallid ledge]

Oh I see

[trim saddle]

yarp

[naive turret]

https://tenor.com/view/simon-pegg-narp-hot-fuzz-gif-5407526

[pallid ledge]

Slick ODST helmet by the way

[trim saddle]

I do have one of those, thank you 🙂

[pallid ledge]

Yw it looks well made

[pallid ledge]

You should

[obsidian wyvern]

no way home sucked sorry

[golden gale]

Cortana is the only women whos talked to me in my 20 years of living

[trim saddle]

i would hope so, i bought it lol i made my hayabusa and mk.v helmet

[pallid ledge]

Every minute of that movie is your time in my opinion but that’s just me

[misty marsh]

Andrew garfield was in idc

[raw crag]

Andrew Garfield is handsome

[obsidian wyvern]

sure but it sucked lol

[trim saddle]

i hate to break it to ya, but cortana is a fictional character.

[misty marsh]

Closest thing I'll ever get to a tasm3

[obsidian wyvern]

tasm was actually good idk why it gets hated

[misty marsh]

All these misses 😔😔

[trim saddle]

people say a lot

[raw crag]

No one said that vroski

[golden sky]

Check out x, a lot of reports

[pallid ledge]

That’s a rumor, but it is likely since campaign evolved is coming without multiplayer

[misty marsh]

Halo 2 and 3 will be dating simulators, 343s emailed me to tell me this themselves

[trim saddle]

people yell into the void (the internet) and unfortunately we all hear it

[hasty zinc]

reminder, leaks both real and fake are not to be discussed under any circumstances

[trim saddle]

also, we dont talk about rumors or leaks here.

Oh yeah that aegis said

[pallid ledge]

Right, I forgot

[golden sky]

I mean, it seems quite likely that will happen

[naive surge]

That one was so good though, would recommend giving it a second chance

[pallid ledge]

I must not have read the rules too well lol

[trim saddle]

and yet, we dont talk about things that arent confirmed.

[raw crag]

Halo 5 Dating sim Linda pls

[trim saddle]

[misty marsh]

Best marvel movie is age of Ultron anyways

They should've bought Ultron back, flip dr doom

[trim saddle]

Dr Ultron

[pallid ledge]

That is an interesting idea although I’m pretty happy with Dr. doom but I don’t think it should’ve been Robert Downey still

[naive turret]

I like AoU more than I think is the standard, I get why people think it's too 'quippy' but I still like it.

[jade gust]

Ultron is coming back, in the Vision show that's coming

[trim saddle]

how visionary

[pallid ledge]

Interesting

[misty marsh]

They had little easter eggs hidden around (I forgot them now cause I havent had a marvel hyper fixation in 5years) that made me so sure he'd return and still I'm hearing crickets

[misty marsh]

Theres a vision show???

[naive turret]

Remember when he ate a Galaxy but got knocked off balance by a shield. Wild.

[jade gust]

It's coming next year

[ocean citrus]

With vibration turned up all the way, how much more vibration does an elite controller have compared to a regular controller?

[trim saddle]

ultron ate a galaxy?

[pallid ledge]

I actually will have to test that for you I just bought one

[misty marsh]

Finally my incentive to get back into marvel

[naive turret]

https://tenor.com/view/la-era-de-ultron-ultron-ich-what-if-marvel-what-if-gif-23292083

[pallid ledge]

From what my niece said it’s not much different than a normal one

[trim saddle]

Thats not ultron.

[naive turret]

Ultron / Vision.

[pallid ledge]

Yeah, that’s Galactus

[naive turret]

It isn't.

[misty marsh]

That's Ultron guys

[jade gust]

They honestly should've slowly built up to such a big event with at least one smaller Avengers film before we got these next two. Like have Sam and Carol leading a new team of Avengers against the Serpent Society or a resurging AIM threat or Skrulls trying to invade

[pallid ledge]

Really?

[obsidian wyvern]

I loved aou

[candid tusk]

Really

[misty marsh]

From what if yeah

[trim saddle]

Is this in one of those what if series that i havent seen?

[raw crag]

ultron says "its ultra time" and ultras everywhere

[jade gust]

Also, the best Marvel show is Agents of SHIELD, nobody can convince me otherwise

[trim saddle]

well that makes sense then lol

[pallid ledge]

I guess I haven’t seen the show so I wouldn’t know

[misty marsh]

It's Ultron after he successfully took visions body and then took all the infinity stones

[pallid ledge]

Cool

[golden sky]

I'm enjoying the hell out of bf6 rn

[misty marsh]

Good episode. What if is kinda goated

[naive turret]

The Dr Strange Episode of What if? Is really good, I can't remember wanting to recommend any of the others.

[pallid ledge]

Yeah I am awfully tempted to play battlefield six if I wasn’t so broke

[candid tusk]

The RedSec release is free. Basically the same.

[pallid ledge]

Of battlefield six?

[trim saddle]

redsec is FTP

[misty marsh]

My brother won't get off the pc and let me play rivals 😔😔😔 I just wanna play spiderman and this convo isn't helping

[golden sky]

Portal is free too I think

[pallid ledge]

yeah more games needs split screen

[candid tusk]

Yup. It's the BR mode, but there's a cool other mode that I can't remember the name of as well.

[naive turret]

Use the Web Tripmine to get him off it 😤

[golden sky]

That's a huge W

[golden sky]

Portal?

[pallid ledge]

lol

[jade gust]

I remember hearing that Black Widow isn't great in Rivals, which is a shame, because she's related to my favourite Marvel character (Who Marvel have completely forgotten)

[candid tusk]

Negative. The team based objective round elimination thing.

[trim saddle]

omg a portal BR mode.. thatd be nutty

[pallid ledge]

Yeah by the way random but what is your guys opinion on the new demon slayer movie?

[misty marsh]

My friend mains her so it might just be a player not the character thing

[trim saddle]

people just yeeting everyone into oblivion

[pallid ledge]

Have any of y’all seen it?

[jade gust]

Maybe

[misty marsh]

Not enough, I want to web bomb him

[naive turret]

Haven't seen it. Kind of wanting ufotable to hurry up with Mahoyo.

[pallid ledge]

Yeah

[misty marsh]

Insomniac has prepared me to play spiderman despite the 5 star difficulty it's great

[golden sky]

I think it's possible for halo to make a battlefield type comeback

[trim saddle]

waiting for it to drop on crunchy because i dont want to go to the movies alone.

[candid tusk]

||It was OK. Felt like a season compressed into a movie and overly flashbacky. ||

[pallid ledge]

Yeah i’m waiting for that too

[candid tusk]

Take a neighbor next time.

[pallid ledge]

So far, I just got into season two after the Mugen train movie

[trim saddle]

Im gonna play infinite. Need that career XP.

[pallid ledge]

Yeah I wish more. People paid attention to I mean in

[golden sky]

Infinite was gearing up to be that until 343 basically did nothing

[naive turret]

I did see the Chainsaw Man movie though and really enjoyed it.

https://tenor.com/view/aki-hayakawa-violence-fiend-galgali-chainsaw-man-csm-gif-7994328997898643748

[pallid ledge]

I mean, infinite dang

[candid tusk]

Oh shoot. That did just come out didn't it.

[pallid ledge]

I didn’t mean to say everyone, lol

That’s pretty cool bro

[wild shell]

I love how a lot of reddit is just people taking about how bad Nintendo fans are compared to PlayStation and Xbox. But when you check most Nintendo fans are just really nice people enjoying their games 😭 sorry I know random but had to say it

[jade gust]

Only anime I've really watched this year was Dandadan season 2 and Apothecary Diaries, which I'm about half way through

[wheat ridge]

Infinite was fine in 2023 and almost hit "very positive reviews" iirc, but they stopped updating it because of low population

[wild shell]

Watch digimon

[golden sky]

Wrong, they are as bad as we are, maybe worse

[pallid ledge]

Yeah I recommend solo leveling a lot

[jade gust]

I'm a Pokémon Trainer, I don't do Digimon

[pallid ledge]

It was a pretty fire one

[naive turret]

Watch Neo Tokyo. The Running Man section is peak.

https://tenor.com/view/neo-tokyo-1987-neo-tokyo-running-man-gif-24864760

[pallid ledge]

is that on crunchy?

[raw crag]

halo legends is the only anime to ever exist

[naive turret]

Most likely not lol

[coral yoke]

i can't tell if you're talking about rivals of aether but i'd believe you if you were

[pallid ledge]

Never seen it but I’ve seen like 1 million clips and edits lol

[golden sky]

Yeah baby

[misty marsh]

I was talking abt marvels rivals lol

[coral yoke]

wait nvm just scrolled further down

[pallid ledge]

Btw have ya’ll seen aot?

[naive turret]

idk how expensive the physical release is, I wish a lot of older stuff like that was more accessible.

AoT's @obsidian wyvern's favourite show.

[pallid ledge]

It is literally the best anime of all time and nobody can convince me otherwise lol

[candid tusk]

You've got to watch Angel's Egg.

[wild shell]

I don't know whose worse but things like people are dumb for spending lots of money on a underpowered handheld is silly. I kinda enjoy the idea of Nintendo really being a company about building games around the hardware as opposed to PS5 and Xbox

[jade gust]

I'm gonna have to go find the list I have of all the ones I've watched to see which ones I can recommend now

[pallid ledge]

Yeah

[naive turret]

It's on the list, I swear that looks like a movie that a random channel puts on at 3am to fill a slot and you only remember brief flashes of it in a haze.

[pallid ledge]

Take your time man

[candid tusk]

That's exactly how it feels to watch too.

[wild shell]

I mean at the end of the day the most underpowered hardware sells the best and I def buy them too I think it's mostly cuz many of us just like a slower pace graphically and spec wise

[jade gust]

It's a long list dating back 5 years ago but not been updated since late 2023 due to some stuff

But the list includes other stuff outside of anime since some former friends were introducing me to stuff

[pallid ledge]

Yeah, that’s OK man

[jade gust]

Pretty sure the first anime they showed me was FMAB, then it was Kill La Kill

[naive turret]

Don't lose your way.

[pallid ledge]

Bro I love fmab

That was actually my second anime

[jade gust]

I need to find where I can rewatch it because it genuinely was so fun

[pallid ledge]

Fr

[jade gust]

I know I was also shown Madoka Magica but that was specifically shown to me so I could be introduced to Studio SHAFT since it was around the time their RWBY project got announced

[smoky monolith]

[jade gust]

And then I know I was shown Evangelion and oh did that one really put me through the ringer with how much there was to it

[pallid ledge]

I’ve always wanted to watch evangelion but never got to see

[cerulean sun]

Can onyx 1500 rank play with platinum 3?

[jade gust]

It is an experience to put it lightly

[pallid ledge]

Yeah

[jade gust]

And it will change you

[naive turret]

The Witch's domains in that show are amazing, I love the use of mixed mediums.

[jade gust]

Aye, for sure!

[pallid ledge]

Yeah is there a lot of nudity in evangelion though?

[jade gust]

I'm trying to think what else my former friends showed me

I know we started Gurran Lagann and got close to the end but sadly one of the people in the friend group turned emotionally abusive towards me and well... We never finished it

[pallid ledge]

That’s a shame, man

[naive turret]

That's the only of the 'big three' mech shows from the 2000's I haven't gotten to yet.

Seen Code Geass and Eureka Seven though.

[pallid ledge]

I’m sorry to hear that

[jade gust]

I wish I could get back to it but I just can't

[pallid ledge]

Yeah totally understandable

[naive turret]

Sucks when external things like that ruin an experience for you.

[jade gust]

Yeah

[obsidian wyvern]

klk was weird

[pallid ledge]

Yeah

[jade gust]

Worst bit is I was really enjoying it

[naive turret]

Trigger being Trigger lol

[pallid ledge]

That truly is a terrible thing when something like that ruins it for you

[jade gust]

I bet if I go digging through my old Twitter, I could find out when exactly it was we stopped during Gurran Lagann but I really don't feel like trying to find that between all the stuff I posted about in 2023

But hey, I at least found other anime to watch since, like Dandadan

[pallid ledge]

Yeah That’s good man

[naive turret]

D'you know a mecha show that wasn't worth the time, Aldnoah Zero.
Great soundtrack though.

[obsidian wyvern]

🛏️

[pallid ledge]

Never seen it

[obsidian wyvern]

since you've got a jjk pfp, when is the next season coming out? is it jan

[pallid ledge]

You know it’s probably would sounds weird, but would it be OK if I add you on here and eon because I unfortunately have nobody to play with

[molten pelican]

ghosted

[pallid ledge]

Oh sorry I wasn’t paying attention to you it is coming out in January

[obsidian wyvern]

😔

[naive turret]

I'm gonna hve to actually keep up with a season for once.

[obsidian wyvern]

I thought it was coming out late November

[ocean herald]

I’ll be your friend

[obsidian wyvern]

no thanks

[naive turret]

Strange Fake, Ghost in the Shell, JJK...

[ocean herald]

Oh

[pallid ledge]

Yeah i’ll double check for you tho

[obsidian wyvern]

oh I actually have to watch strange fake

[ocean herald]

I’ll cancel the custom friendship bracelets then

[obsidian wyvern]

wait no

[molten pelican]

Il be your friend too

[pallid ledge]

Oh yeah, but there’s a movie coming out I think in December or November

[naive turret]

Archer 👏 Heracles 👏

[obsidian wyvern]

I think you're right, I just thought I read it was coming out late Nov too

[pallid ledge]

It’s called jujutsu Kaisen execution

But yeah any one who would like to add me is definitely welcome cause I’m desperate for anime friends lol

[naive turret]

https://tenor.com/view/jeanne-jeanne-d-arc-guitar-gif-19003629

[pallid ledge]

lol

[topaz flax]

Hey guys, anyone else excited for upcoming remake of CE?

[pallid ledge]

I’m pretty happy for it

[topaz flax]

Im brom balkans so here it isnt that much popular but I personally cant wait for it lmaoo

[pallid ledge]

Yeah that’s cool man

[rocky valley]

It's not exactly something I'd be swooning over but it is a chance to finally have my friend who has never played a halo campaign to experience peak, albeit slightly altered peak

[pallid ledge]

Yeah

[topaz flax]

Same here, many people just have seen an icon of Chief, didnt play any of games. So cant wait to get them all into it haha

[rocky valley]

I think halo can stand separate from Xbox due to character recognition alone

[pallid ledge]

Fr

[topaz flax]

For sure

[rocky valley]

But they gotta build up that respect from the wider game community

[pallid ledge]

Yeah

[rocky valley]

I love halo infinite as it is now but when it launched in 2021 it had every advantage possible

Cod and battlefield were fumbling hard

The art style was back, and halo hadn't been seen in a while

[pliant goblet]

I can't even imagine how much cooler Halo 2 & 3 Remakes will be

[pallid ledge]

Yeah

[sinful raven]

As a parent, having my son dress as Chief and hardly anyone knowing who he was.. was absolutely insane.

[topaz flax]

I mean im 18yo and I started playing when I was like 5 or 6. My dad bought it to me and i've experienced it on win XP. Cant wait to put all my hours into it lmaoo. Hope it will be more popular and ends up like a Big Big success!

[pallid ledge]

Fr

[shell belfry]

Infinite is great, multi is super fun, and customization is peak

I STILL NEED GEN 2 ARMOR

[tight remnant]

Really? As far as I know master chief costumes tend to get praise on halloweens

[trim saddle]

A few more games and I'm to the next rank

[sinful raven]

All the hours spent in that world and it all felt invalid at that point. Hahaha

[trim saddle]

My youngest chose Chief as his costume this year, in a proud father 😁

[sinful raven]

That’s what I was expecting, but that wasn’t the case.

[pliant goblet]

it's never coming back I don't think, only in redesigned pieces

[shell belfry]

So damn sad

[topaz flax]

Can only imagine how flood outbreak on 343 guilty spark will look like in remake like damnn

[shell belfry]

And sadly H5 is dead I can’t find games anymore

[sinful raven]

It’s a strange satisfaction to see your kids love something you hold close. Mine asked for a full size helmet and I had to debate on getting it for myself.😂

[pliant goblet]

unless they totally redesign the base GEN2 suit as well, I 100% don't think it'll come back

[shell belfry]

Yea most likely not

[rocky valley]

I wish Mark VII helmet would be put in the exchange

[shell belfry]

I’m somewhat happy with the Osiris armor we got but it could have been so much more

[left bone]

i can only find custom games so far

[shell belfry]

Yea I gotta try to hop back on

[jovial elbow]

Ngl the halo CE remake master chief armour is up there with the infinite armour it is beautiful

[craggy sigil]

hey soldiers, what do i do after i finished te campaign

[rocky valley]

Which one

[rocky valley]

I agree but halo infinite chief has more detail I think with the green paint chipping off showing the shiny titanium underneath

[jovial elbow]

probably the ue5 blur making the new one look less detailed tbh. Slipspace is clear

[rocky valley]

Ue5 has blur? Is it like downscaled rendering for performance?

Sorry I'm not very technical with game engines

[left bone]

erm what the blarp

[craggy sigil]

well every game

[jovial elbow]

just ue5 has stronger use of TAA (temporal anti aliasing) I believe

TAA is horrible and causes tons of blur

[rocky valley]

You could try running it back on co-op or do multiplayer and custom games. The MCC has a customs browser

[pliant goblet]

I think they'd look cooler if we had stuff like dual hip/utility attachments, belt, back, dual forearms, etc. aaaand if there was an actual proper female body for Vale and... oh yeah, why th did they leave out Tatanka?? 😭

[craggy sigil]

so or replayed or play multplayer, alright

[coral flame]

heyo if you guys need someone to test your new Halo, lemme know!

[rocky valley]

Test your new halo? What do you mean

[coral flame]

yeah, I heard you got a halo 1 remake

[obsidian wyvern]

I'll send you an invite for the test!

[rocky valley]

Oh you meant that to the devs?

[coral flame]

I was adressing halo studios

[hasty zinc]

if Halo Studios decides to to public flighting they will do so via official channels

[vagrant kettle]

I’m having suspicions that my Alexa is conspiring against me

[obsidian wyvern]

no they do it through me , just a small fee of £600

[rocky valley]

Security to the kitchen, Alexa has gone rampant. Taken her down boys

[viral dune]

Revvvvvvv

[coral flame]

you take bitcoin?

[obsidian wyvern]

yo

[viral dune]

We're losing progress on Oshaune

[obsidian wyvern]

no cold hard cash

[obsidian wyvern]

tragic, what's up

[hasty zinc]

he also takes CragCoin

[rocky valley]

Is Crag Craig's alter ego

[viral dune]

Been diving all morning, haven't got past 21% and now it's at 20%

[obsidian wyvern]

I've got uni work to do tonight so I can't play

[viral dune]

I understand

[obsidian wyvern]

I'm off work tmrw so maybe

[viral dune]

Idk if I'll be fully free tomorrow

[fast flax]

Wsg

[viral dune]

But I'll be playing in my free time

[obsidian wyvern]

ping me whenever

[viral dune]

@obsidian wyvern

[obsidian wyvern]

I'm not playing with you tomorrow

[viral dune]

[viral dune]

NOOO WAIT I was just kidding bro

[rocky valley]

Haven't played helldiver's in a hot minute, I remember hearing that not only PCs, but some consoles got bricked

I know they put out a patch

[obsidian wyvern]

that was like made up completely

[viral dune]

I've only heard of PCs

[shell belfry]

Yea why the hell do we not have legit female body models in infinite? Are the devs sexist? They looked so damn good in H5 wtf happened 😭

[obsidian wyvern]

the guy who said it bricked his pc was wrong

[rocky valley]

Fr?

[viral dune]

Ohhh so not PCs either?

[obsidian wyvern]

he was having issues way before the patch iirc

just in general, not Helldivers. probably wanted to try get money out of it

[pliant goblet]

Idk, they probably over corrected again like they always do with how curvy they were in 5

[shell belfry]

Actually looked so peak in H5 like bruh

[viral dune]

Can you play tomorrow

[shell belfry]

So stupid I hate 343 sometimes, not even curvy tho like legit doesn’t even look like female bodies anymore 😭

There’s 1 that looks ok but that’s it

[rocky valley]

It's not even the curves for me it's just that the Spartans are thinned down and it looks like the armor just hangs off of them

[pliant goblet]

yeah, cuz the armor literally doesn't skrink, they just shrink some parts of the male model to make the other 2

so it just looks off

[worthy turtle]

NEW HALO NEWS

I can’t post links? 🙄 wth

Ok just look up HiddenXperia’s new vid lol

[pliant goblet]

oh yeah, thanks for reminding me

[worthy turtle]

Oh it’s got some JUICE to it

[pliant goblet]

oh hell yeah

[worthy turtle]

New details about the prequel missions with Johnson in it 😉

[shell belfry]

Is it that hard for them to actually make a female model 😭 they could easily still do it it makes me so mad

[broken coyote]

Hello John halo people

[wheat ridge]

The only reason i stopped playing it is because of the file size (140gb)

[shell belfry]

Plus there’s only 3 body types? Give us what we want 343 yall are bums

[broken coyote]

They put the mamdter chiuef in the sofa

[wheat ridge]

m*crosoft does that for inclusivity

[broken coyote]

I see I've walked in at a bad time, oh boy

[shell belfry]

Who tf cares it’s still stupid inclusivity my ass, THATS WHY YOU MAKE MULTPLE TYPES OF BODY MODELS SO WE CAN CHOOSE FROM THEM

[vagrant kettle]

You censored Microsoft.
Is this satire?

[wheat ridge]

but you see killing people in videogames is ok but butt isnt

[shell belfry]

I’ll never understand it

[shell belfry]

This must be satire

But yea seriously so wack

[wheat ridge]

my whole personality is being satire

[shell belfry]

I’m gonna crash out over some butt yall

If you want no buns, then you have the choice, if you wanna be caked up, WE SHOULD ALSO HAVE THE CHOICE

[wheat ridge]

glad i have instant replay to see deleted messages

[shell belfry]

😭

[broken coyote]

Halo discord censoring the f word 💔

[obsidian token]

This is a nuanced issue but I think it’s important to point out that prior to Halo Legends/Reach, there was zero sexual dimorphism in any depiction of Spartans and lots of specific indications that when in the armor, they were all essentially indistinguishable to the layman, and 343i was intentionally trying to be evocative of the artistic choices of that previous era

[wheat ridge]

dont worry the ce remake has marines saying bad words

[broken coyote]

Aw Frick yeah

[obsidian token]

The 4/5 style armor being this form fitting superhero suit was a big departure from the previous design philosophy which was essentially shrinking a gundam down to person size

[broken coyote]

If we're honest with ourselves the only reason halo infinite only has 3 body types (that are all just the same thing with slightly adjusted waists mind you) is laziness, especially for a game with so much customisation

[steady jolt]

Laziness is almost never the reason, no matter what it is

[wheat ridge]

If they ever make another live service halo, i want them to add armor cores. Especially 4 and 5 armors

[obsidian token]

“Laziness” is one way to frame it, I think it’s more likely because the core system made it resource inhibitive to have particularly distinct body types

[steady jolt]

@covert hearth no affiliation / referral links please

[wheat ridge]

It was obviously a scam message

[covert hearth]

Copy, my bad.

[covert hearth]

No, it’s not. I do controller and console repairs.

[wheat ridge]

Just so you know there are better ways to advertise than sending links in random discord servers

[covert hearth]

You don’t say!?! Please tell me more!

[ornate gazelle]

How many +30's here

[shell belfry]

Yea it’s makes no sense

[obsidian token]

I mean, you can’t see someone’s “buns” when they’re in a space suit @shell belfry

[shell belfry]

No way my message just got removed

[obsidian token]

Infinite’s art style is different from 4/5 and even Reach’s

[covert hearth]

Not with that attitude. 🤣

[obsidian token]

Even if it takes most heavy inspiration from Reach

[broken coyote]

None, get back in the nursing home

[wheat ridge]

Just so you know, i saw your message but i'm too lazy to make an answer

[shell belfry]

Biggest cap I’ve ever heard

[covert hearth]

33 here

[shell belfry]

4 and 5 proved that wrong

[wheat ridge]

90 here

[brave prairie]

Bro wants to see ahhhh in halo

[broken coyote]

Yeah, infinites artstyle is more like, mecha esque? While also being cleaner than literally every other halo game ever

[obsidian token]

My point is that GEN2 was a departure from the artistic roots that originally inspired Halo’s artistic direction

[spice pumice]

https://tenor.com/view/chicken-chickenbro-calling-dance-sing-gif-6667284142870503542

[shell belfry]

I just wanna make a realistic Vale/female spartan it’s complete bs

[obsidian token]

Spartans are/were meant to be most evocative of a tank in man form, a miniature mecha

[ornate gazelle]

Old heads play this game more than youngins Dash

[shell belfry]

#thickestspartan

[wheat ridge]

We also need jorge type of body

[shell belfry]

Yep

[shell belfry]

Yessss buttttttt it was peak

[broken coyote]

This isn't about realism at all tho

[covert hearth]

All of us that were kids when Xbox originally came out are the ones playing infinite.

[ornate gazelle]

Love Infinite lol

[shell belfry]

it’s a game about space soldiers and aliens was never realistic in the first place lmaoooo

[ornate gazelle]

I don't mind playing at 30fps tho. Tells u how old I really am

[wheat ridge]

Playing 60fps is hard to me

[obsidian token]

Multiple things can be true at once, halo has a lot of room for different interpretations of the same idea (every game is proof of that) but also there’s production related constraints to consider and you can’t just throw in every single idea that sounds appealing or your game never gets made

[wheat ridge]

75FPS is the lowest i would go

[obsidian token]

I don’t think it’s impossible to have a halo game with multiple distinct body types but that’s an uphill battle

[vapid crypt]

👀

[shell belfry]

3 body types like cmon

Should be at least 10

[wheat ridge]

at least 5 body types

[steady jolt]

^

[wheat ridge]

10? you want stick mans?

[shell belfry]

Like why can’t someone have a fat spartan if they want one

[obsidian token]

I think any number is gonna be arbitrary and to be frank this is never something I’ve cared about personally, I just wanna look like Chief

[wheat ridge]

i wonder what a fat spartan looks like

[pale grove]

The armor would be too expensive to customize to that body type

[vagrant kettle]

Because Spartans are elite super soldiers

Physically superior to most humans

[pale grove]

Also what Hunter said

[shell belfry]

Alright well my point for some booty still stands

[broken coyote]

Answer a question for me, could you beat a sumo wrestler in a fight?

[wheat ridge]

Guys i think this person likes booty

[vapid crypt]

☝️🤓

[obsidian token]

Most Spartans would have to be very lean to realistically fit inside their armor because their proportions are barely different from someone who is unarmored

[shell belfry]

😴

[obsidian token]

You got a lot of thick metal plates, if someone has huge triceps they couldn’t reach over their shoulder to grab their gun

[vapid crypt]

Tbh it was already a miracle to even have the gender selector back in H3

[obsidian token]

Tbf the precedent was first set by Nicole-458 in DoA4

[shell belfry]

Wow

[obsidian token]

As far as “onscreen depictions of female Spartans”

[vagrant kettle]

No, but I don’t think that’s very relevant

[vapid crypt]

Bruh I'm just talking socially lol

[obsidian token]

She was followed up by Maria-062 in the Halo Graphic Novel, who tested Chief’s Mark VI armor right before the events of Halo 2

[shell belfry]

I’m boutta get banned over here for talking about this I give up 💀

[obsidian token]

Notably, she looked visually indistinguishable from Chief in it

[vapid crypt]

To accuse the devs of laziness is way off base nearly 100% of the time

[shell belfry]

Not true

[vagrant kettle]

This guy gets it

[steady jolt]

It is true

[obsidian token]

Even if someone was being lazy, it’s a job

You get yelled at for being lazy

The critique almost comes across as someone failing to understand that making games isn’t the same thing as playing them

[shell belfry]

Well yea

[vapid crypt]

Halo is a real production title. It's designed and developed as a product. So, if you want to stake claim that something is missing, laziness is not the cause. It's money, time, or leadership.

[shell belfry]

Lmaooooo

Can’t say the M word

[shell moon]

Anyways how was everyone’s day

[shell belfry]

Except for me crashing out, eh pretty mid tbh

[vapid crypt]

The goals are set. The time is allocated. The money is committed.

[shell belfry]

Maybe I just need to go back to halo 5 😞

[vapid crypt]

We are full circle friends

[shell moon]

Spartan charge wasn’t a bad idea…

[vapid crypt]

Ironically, Halo 5 is probably the least readily accessible halo now, from a playability standpoint

[shell belfry]

Yep

[normal owl]

Genuinely refreshing to see a reasoned take on game development, thank you!

[shell moon]

Yeah i saw the vision with halo 5 but the sweatiness didn’t help

[obsidian token]

Spartan Charge was in CE/2, you just didn’t know it because there wasn’t any feedback for it

Rather, your movement affected melee damage

[vapid crypt]

Dark knowledge

[shell moon]

I like the being able to Spartan charge a enemy you didn’t expect

[obsidian token]

Yeah it’s something like a 50% damage increase for jumping in 2 which is the same SC does

[vapid crypt]

Halo 2 is a mess of stuff not choreographed in any way for the players knowledge

Iirc brute shot is one shot melee if jumping?

[obsidian token]

Exactly

I believe it’s also the reason melee damage in 2 from NPCs can feel inconsistent

That one lunging blow from Elites does weirdly high damage

[obsidian wyvern]

that melee is bs

[vapid crypt]

Halo 2 feels inconsistent because it's old af and stuff mattered less back then. Or so to say, people cared about less miniscule stuff back then

[obsidian token]

It does have the upside of them having a lot of recovery frames, but it’s not like 2 has a dodge roll with I frames lol

[vapid crypt]

I'm just teasing obv I love H2

[obsidian token]

(This might’ve been fixed if they kept the melee combo system if you could stun lock enemies)

[shell moon]

Yk what be interesting if over-shield gave you the ability to destroy a weapon in order to get a free Кill like a Spartan just used all of his strength to slime 1 Spartan seems tough with his own blick as the cost

I mean chief did it Locke so why not do it other Spartans

[vapid crypt]

What you're looking for is shooting a rocket right into your feet in front of the OS dude

[vapid crypt]

Lol he did break his gun didn't he?

[dense stag]

My roommate just learned that halo has video games and it’s not a tv show primarily

[shell moon]

Yeah watch the cutscene he destroyed a br on his helmet

[merry lily]

Get rid of them

[vapid crypt]

Chief vs Locke would have been much cooler if it wasn't motion capped

[obsidian token]

I think there’s a lot of things that could be addressed, but having the ILM animator that did the intro do that scene may have helped in terms of making is spectacle

I just don’t like the fight because it’s a betrayal of both characters

[obsidian wyvern]

it's such a boring fight

[shell moon]

If i could join halo studios as a creative lead I’d definitely add more fighting moments like chief and Locke just… yk more towards the banished like that one jerome vs brutes moment i think the Spartans speed is so poorly represented in the main titles

[vapid crypt]

Yeah, that's the core issue of Halo 5, is that's it's very hard to really believe the chief is doing anything wrong, and Osiris is literally unbelievable as a serious Spartan team, as we spent the entirety of Halo 4 campaign giving Spartan IVs no credit at all

[ornate gazelle]

I'm sorry for your loss

[obsidian token]

Chief losing his temper and arrogantly engaging in a fist fight when he has no real reason to do so is troubling to watch and they don’t even acknowledge the fact that he’s becoming increasingly prone to emotionally driven behavior just comes across as annoying as there’s no payoff, and I still think it’s a terrible choice to put Locke into the position of having to overcome humanity’s greatest hero in fisticuffs when he has so much more that could be at his disposal

They set him up as this cunning bounty hunter but his plan to capture Chief sucks

[naive turret]

The rest of Osiris just, decide not to help too.

[vapid crypt]

All these years later, it's more and more evident that Spartan Ops fell short of establishing the status of Spartan IVs the way Reach was able to establish Spartan III's

[shell moon]

And most of the time wee see Spartan IV’s field There butt whooped instead of them being yk Spartans and showing off great skill and speed like the locke trailer

[obsidian token]

It’s communicated within the scene that they can’t reach them because of the gap, but like

[ocean herald]

We need qte’s in halo

[obsidian token]

The thrusters are inconsistently depicted

[vapid crypt]

Slide boost, ground pound float, boost again fckn duh

[shell moon]

Explain further?

[obsidian token]

Buck not being able to lift himself up was really silly

[naive turret]

ehhhhhhh

[hasty zinc]

it's bait, feel free to ignore

[obsidian token]

Yeah it’s not really well justified

I think part of it is because it was mocapped and they wanted to preserve the performances by having the actors all in frame

So you have this measly little gap that even without thrusters a Spartan should easily clear

[pliant hatch]

I think they would've watched regardless. it's like a title bout with a champ and challenger.

[vapid crypt]

They should have all gotten after it, like a classic Monty Oem RvB fight

[obsidian token]

Im not against Spartans having grudge matches, but it was the wrong time and place for it

[naive turret]

I think the most annoying part is the armor lock(e) module, which for some reason isn't a projectile, for one
And second has this slow dramatic reveal only for Locke to get locked by the lock(e)

[vapid crypt]

Actually, I wonder how much unconscious bias the RVB fights had when Halo eventually got to doing an official one

[normal owl]

all Lock no Pop

[naive turret]

fr fr

[obsidian token]

It’s worth noting that RvB and Monty Oum were both independently influenced by Halo’s EU material when coming up with certain things, action sequences included

[ocean herald]

🤨

[obsidian token]

For example, there’s a part in Haloid where “Chief” bounces a sniper round off of jackal shields for a ricochet trick shot

[normal owl]

osky? bait? why I never

[obsidian token]

This was directly inspired by Linda’s sharpshooting in First Strike where she manages to kill the pilots of banshees by ricocheting the bullet inside the canopy

[trim saddle]

🎣

[shell moon]

We need feats like this in main game

[ocean herald]

https://tenor.com/view/innocent-face-im-guilty-dog-scared-gif-14754984

[shell moon]

The more YouTube halo edits people can pump out the bigger our audience becomes

[obsidian token]

One thing that I would be keen on is halo shifting to a third person perspective and play closer to character action games

Maybe for side entry rather than a mainline title but there’s something to be said about how it would open things up in terms of what fantasy you can sell

[halcyon mica]

This would not spark joy for me

[waxen rose]

Fred nooo
Dont go into the blue forerunner light

[waxen rose]

The joy economy is at an all time low

[halcyon mica]

Mein Gott, the domain is full of blue women

[waxen rose]

Blue people scare me
Im shaking now

I cant watch the smurfs

[halcyon mica]

I have bad news

[waxen rose]

If there's a blue person in halo I might flip

[halcyon mica]

Fred's armour is blue. Fred is a blue person

[waxen rose]

https://tenor.com/view/backflip-happy-excited-gif-9537902

Im flipping out

[obsidian token]

Just saying, I’d kill for a game that played like Shadow of War but set in the halo universe

[halcyon mica]

Oh yeah, I forgot that you're an Inheritor now

[halcyon mica]

Haven't played it and I know very little about it so I can't comment unfortunately 😔

[waxen rose]

I was knighted and no one showed up to the ceremony

[halcyon mica]

🙇‍♂️

[naive turret]

You were knighted but it was at Camlann.

[obsidian token]

Any of the Arkham Batman games?

[halcyon mica]

Are some ever too fargone to hope for the light of knighthood to grace them

[waxen rose]

Sigh
Fake fans

[naive turret]

Shadow of War's the one with the Nemesis system right?

[obsidian token]

Yeah

[halcyon mica]

Nope. I don't like the feel of 3rd person games very much, which is why my only experience with the genre is Dead Space, some of Mass Effect 1, Monster Hunter, and Helldivers

[normal owl]

The Nemesis System: one of the items that gets me the closest to breaking the rule of not talking crap about game companies.

Just let us have fun with it elsewhere if you don't want to use it!

[obsidian token]

Not sure how kosher it is to discuss but according to a certain leak, apparently Infinite was supposed have similar mechanics that had to be dialed back, which is how we ended up with HVTs

[scenic cave]

Sup

[halcyon mica]

Monster Hunter is an exception to all the others because third person perspective is central to its gameplay. The other franchises could've been 1st person, and I might've preferred them more if they were

[obsidian token]

The nemesis system is just really funny in the sense you get to build a rapport with the enemy you’re fighting rather than blasting through them in seconds without any second thought

Halo’s enemies are remarkable for an FPS in terms of how charming they are, but you still don’t get long to appreciate them as individuals

[normal owl]

It organically created a real rivals system within the player's journey.

[scenic cave]

Fair opinion

[obsidian token]

“Welcome to my tower master Chief” and “spartan not so tough i think” are about the closest we get to the charisma of a random Uruk captain calling you out

I like that the harbinger chieftain has retroactively become a “real” character in the lore but that’s the sort of thing that can just emergently happen in Shadow of War thanks to the nemesis system

[scenic cave]

Saying something like that is like saying legend of zelda would work in first person. Which obviously wouldn’t.

[obsidian token]

Uhhhh

[halcyon mica]

I wish we got to learn more about other alien races of Halo. I've read most of the books, but the Jiralhanae are still overwhelmingly presented as an excessively cruel, violent civilisation with no art or craft that isn't explicitly in service to torture and killing. The most we ever got to see of that side of them was a chieftain attending a peace summit between mankind and the Jiralhanae, which got attacked by Sapient Sunrise

[obsidian token]

You can play Zelda in first person to some extent

Well, the 3D ones anyways

[scenic cave]

That’s just standing on 1 spot looking around. You can’t move while you are in a 1st person viewpoint

Literally no one says there’s 1st person gameplay in loz

[halcyon mica]

Maggruber must be literally no one then

[vagrant kettle]

I don’t see the appeal of 3rd person

[naive turret]

Spectacle and situational awareness

[obsidian token]

Not intended anyways

[naive turret]

Devil May Cry couldn't function in first person.
