Use bonemeal

[molten pelican]

oh yeah

It back

I actually do have a fake tooth irl lol

[viral dune]

[obsidian wyvern]

goated

[molten pelican]

Aura.

[viral dune]

Really

[trim saddle]

oh nice!

[dense stag]

When I come back home winter break first thing I’m doing is getting helldivers

[trim saddle]

its worth it

[dense stag]

Do I miss out on a lot of stuff for joining that late

Idk how helldivers works I just wanna jump in blind

After hearing its rep

[obsidian wyvern]

you miss events in a sense

like you missed the fight for super earth for example. the cities that they made for that event can still be played on but you missed out on saying you were part of that event

thats really it

[dense stag]

There will be more significant stuff tho right?

[obsidian wyvern]

everything can still be earned/bought like the odst pass

[obsidian wyvern]

right now we're pushing the bugs home world so thats a pretty big event

i think my favourite was actually when the xbox players joined, all 3 factions were pushing against us really hard

[ocean herald]

it's sort of a "forever pve" campaign that is shaped by the success/failure of the game's major orders (liberate x planet, kill x amount of this enemy type, collect x amount of samples)

it's never too late to join, but you do miss out on the events/"story lines" that the community/devs craft as things are happening

[dense stag]

Wait that’s so cool. The game itself is just an ongoing story? And you play missions at a certain time when they’re live and that affects and changes the game map?

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah an ongoing story

[drowsy coyote]

Fortnite reference?

[dense stag]

And the story is more interactive than other games just doing cutscenes in a new season

[obsidian wyvern]

they set us missions, the story changes based on whether we win/lose

[heavy steppe]

when did you start playing?

[dense stag]

I was thinking about that. But what you do actually matters in this sense?

[obsidian wyvern]

like there was one time where you could choose to either save this/that planet, and i think they chose the factory world so we got mechs as a reward

[obsidian wyvern]

start of this year

[heavy steppe]

dope. I wish I had a system powerful enough, lmao

[obsidian wyvern]

fortnites story is pretty much set in stone, helldivers is reliant on us

[dense stag]

So what the community does actually affects the story

[obsidian wyvern]

yeaa

[dense stag]

Now I’m sad I missed out this much

[heavy steppe]

The legend of Malevelon Creek...

[dense stag]

So like what happens in between these events? Are there like regular matches or somethn? Or is there always something going on event wise

[obsidian wyvern]

every week we get a 'major order' which is what the community needs to complete, but most arent as significant, or theyre just building up to the big event

[heavy steppe]

wasn't there one for cleaning up a planet to make a new boot camp for Xbox recruits?

[obsidian wyvern]

yep

[dense stag]

I see. I have no choice but to buy it

[viral dune]

I can't wait for the day we go to cyberstan

[heavy steppe]

Remember Beach

[dense stag]

I hope all the interesting things don’t happen before my winter break starts

[trim saddle]

Ah yes the beach divers

[viral dune]

Nahh dw, most of the really cool stuff takes some time to like actually happen

[obsidian wyvern]

well since we cant exactly just remove a major faction, i assume the bug mission will last ages

[trim saddle]

they really do act like bugs, just crawling everywhere.

I wonder if theyll ever add a new faction?

[viral dune]

Is Oshaune their homeworld btw

[obsidian wyvern]

there is supposedly another faction

and no

[viral dune]

Ohh

[obsidian wyvern]

i dont look into the leaks because i actually want to see it through the story line

[viral dune]

Hope we get fighter jets

[obsidian wyvern]

they actually wanted to make an eagle 1 game

[molten pelican]

Yeah had it shot it out with an Airsoft gun lol

[viral dune]

They should

[viral dune]

Ouuuuuuuuuchhhhhhh

But also nice shot

[molten pelican]

It was pretty funny

[viral dune]

Only getting one tooth instead of like.. multiple of em

[obsidian wyvern]

how the hell

[molten pelican]

It didn't fall off at first but hurt like hell so I thought I was okay to continue playing and then afterwards I went to rip off my glove and my tooth went with it

[molten pelican]

No it was someone else lol

[viral dune]

Ohhh

Thought you accidentally shot yourself lol

[molten pelican]

Yeah I'm only stupid enough to play without mouth protection, not stupid enough to actually shoot my self

[heavy steppe]

is the fake made of gold?

[viral dune]

😂

[molten pelican]

Vibranium

[heavy steppe]

yarrrgh!

[trim saddle]

i dont think we want anything vibrating in our mouths/

that would be annoying

[rare cedar]

toothbrushs are good for that

[trim saddle]

Ive never owned one of those. My kids have them but I dont.

[molten pelican]

I will refrain

[normal owl]

Would truly love to see that. (And thank you for being considerate with not pinging me. If it's not inconvenient for you, feel free to leave ping on for me. Just don't want to miss your messages as they're worthwhile, but don't change up your routine just for me.)

[heavy steppe]

bri'ish, innit?

[molten pelican]

Panda how are you before sad

[trim saddle]

nope, i just floss and brush multiple times a day.

[molten pelican]

Japanese

[signal hinge]

sup yall

[paper sun]

What up

Why is there a 15 sec slowmode

[signal hinge]

idk man

[paper sun]

I had the roughest night of sleep. Was catching a cold or something. Took NyQuil and woke up in the middle of the night drenched in sweat and drunk from the medicine lol

[signal hinge]

Get well soon

[paper sun]

Yeah. Seems to be going away.

[robust spear]

is the halo discord icon gonna change when there's a new halo infinite update because lowkey this icon is the best one we had so far imo

[steady jolt]

It changes through various social beats. Next time there's an event or an update for Infinite for example, it will likely change

[hearty flame]

Yes expect that next time it changes, it will be different

[hasty zinc]

be thankful you’re not on the ground in oshaune

[dense stag]

Yeah, I'll learn what Oshaune is soon....

[balmy kraken]

love that planet tbh, my favorite time other than fighting for super earth

[balmy kraken]

i assume we’ll have liberated it by then and it won’t be playable

[dense stag]

does super earth have a new mombasa

[meager linden]

Good evening people of Halo

[dense stag]

I can't walk around on the planet during its aftermath?

[balmy kraken]

i remember when they tried to take York Supreme on memorial day weekend

[balmy kraken]

no, once it’s under our control you can’t deploy to the planet

[dense stag]

wahetev there'll probably be another cool planet

[balmy kraken]

there are always a ton of planets that are able to be worked on/contributed to

usually some have different types of enemies and in oshuane’s case it’s just the most methed out bugs known to man and also hive lords

[naive turret]

Just never a moon when you want to farm SC 😔

[safe summit]

hello there

[balmy kraken]

hive lords being completely exclusive to oshaune (where they debuted) but i assume we’ll see them as we move into the gloom

[balmy kraken]

fenmire my beloved

[ocean herald]

the game is centered around missions. you do have some ability to free roam but not in the way you're thinking

[dense stag]

I see

Helldivers is pretty unique never seen another game do something like this

[balmy kraken]

it’s very worth it

[dense stag]

Wait this is helldivers 2. I forgot there's a helldivers 1

[balmy kraken]

very different game

[candid solar]

I HATE BUGDIVING

[balmy kraken]

traitor

[naive turret]

give the bots time it’ll happen

[candid solar]

IT'S THE BIRMINGHAM OF HELLDIVERS

[dense stag]

I searched it up it looks like an RTS

[balmy kraken]

oshaune has genuinely been the most fun experience of my diving career tbh

it’s so stupidly difficult and i love that

[candid solar]

If I'm not fighting bots I'm not happy

[naive turret]

https://tenor.com/view/tidal-wave-transformers-transformation-ship-robot-gif-21644653

[obsidian wyvern]

i find bots to be too eaasy

[naive turret]

this guy

[balmy kraken]

flame corp has entered the chat

[obsidian wyvern]

the railgun just counters everything lol

[candid solar]

I run sword and board against bots

[balmy kraken]

me when i get touched by two pellets of a flame shotgun and i immediately burn to ashes in .2 seconds

[obsidian wyvern]

flame corps got nothing on me with a railgun and a supply pack

[balmy kraken]

from 35m away

[trim saddle]

flame corps cant do much when youre tapping them from a distance

[candid solar]

I've stabbed whole pods of those chainsaw dudes to death with the funni flag

[naive turret]

At least it’s not the squids

[balmy kraken]

that shotgun does NOT abide by the laws of distance, or physics

[trim saddle]

only abides by the laws of democracy

[balmy kraken]

the shielded shotgun bots are my kryptonite i hate them so much

[candid solar]

I love fighting bots because of all the cheap things in the game, they feel the least cheap

It's like how I was utterly miserable during the invasion of Super Earth because I absolutely loathed the Illuminate

[balmy kraken]

we showed em what for

come to MY super earth??? glass MY mars???

show em why us american divers don’t have free healthcare

[candid solar]

I started building my setup explicitly so that I had to do the least fighting with Fleshmobs humanly possible, and it eventually devolved into dropping with a Car, Supply Pack, Precision, and 500Kg just to kill as many dropships as possible and not actually have to kill squids.

I absolutely detest fighting squids.

[timid roost]

Bots do have a bit of trouble tracking the player moving out of their LOS so i understand

[balmy kraken]

my loadout is pretty set for bugs rn, i’m just running strafing run, orbital napalm, warp pack, and emancipator exo with scorcher, ultimatum, and thermites

[timid roost]

They dont really chase

[dense stag]

How hard would the game be without multiplayer co-op? I just remembered I’d need live

[balmy kraken]

god the bugs chase like no end though lol

[candid solar]

That's mostly why I hate bugs.

Which is also why I hate Illuminate.

[balmy kraken]

love em

[candid solar]

It's chargers, fleshmobs, and the damned flying overseers.

[hasty zinc]

https://tenor.com/b1WP8.gif

[balmy kraken]

i get very burned out on squids tho, i will admit

[dense stag]

What about the drones in halo

[naive turret]

There's not enough enemy variety, and the ones they do have are all different flavours of irritating.

[candid solar]

At least drones die fast.

[candid solar]

I swear to god, acidbug seeds make me want to put my head through the nearest wall.

[balmy kraken]

plus in the good halo games they’re kinda stupid so

[candid solar]

And then they made them burrow.

Why.

[balmy kraken]

congratulations!! you’ve won acid on your location right now!!!

[candid solar]

This is a specific anti-Trenchbird discriminatory action.

I'd rather have burrowing Stalkers than acid.

[balmy kraken]

god i hate stalkers

[candid solar]

See I can deal with Stalkers and Predator Strain

[balmy kraken]

they hit so hard for no reason

(i wear light armor)

[candid solar]

It's a giant lizard-bug-mantis thing with claws bigger than a Helldiver's torso, them being an instakill is reasonable.

[misty marsh]

Heebie jeebies ngl

[candid solar]

They're kinda cute

[balmy kraken]

not very democratic, let me tell you

[naive turret]

Seven of them deciding to go after me at once was very cool

[candid solar]

Trenchbird's hatred of chargers leaving them when an acid particle effect enters their screen

[candid solar]

Oh yeah, I literally just had a match of that lmao

Three Stalker nests in close proximity

[balmy kraken]

every single stalker on the map manages to launch a coordinated attack on my face

[obsidian wyvern]

stalkers in caves are so much fun

[bright fjord]

Still getting the grey box at login even though i tried cloudfare, different wifis and reinstalling too

I am getting so sick of this, why can't the stupid thing remember the login

[hasty zinc]

better than at your window I always say

[misty marsh]

Just looked at a stalker for reference honest to god my spine shivered a bit

[analog knot]

There are two fixes, the simple one is to Alt+F4 the gray box; is that working?

[bright fjord]

It closed the whole game when i did that

[analog knot]

Yes its supposed to 😄

[bright fjord]

Ive tried reopening and closing a lot

After i put my password the grey box just reappears

[analog knot]

Its not about reopening and closing, its specifically about Alt+F4ing on that gray box

If that doesnt work I have more for you, but you should post to #1075989764026675210 so that we dont dominate the conversation here

Can you get the demon badge more than once in a match

[junior kestrel]

Specifically the newest addition.

[trim saddle]

if you die and get it again yes.

[junior kestrel]

If the score threshold is high enough.

[dusty yew]

Okay

[junior kestrel]

Just play with what I'm setting down.

[trim saddle]

I get demon multiple times a match in firefight -if- I respawn.

[junior kestrel]

Please.

I worked kinda hard on it and would like it to actually be read and have some feedback.

[trim saddle]

People will give feedback naturally, dont worry.

[junior kestrel]

Ok...

[trim saddle]

Im not invested into the lore of halo that much so Im not interested. There are some that are invested.

[jade gust]

I just think there's not much to add to the whole "Were Humans and Forerunners the same thing" discussion

[analog knot]

@bright fjord Glad we could get you logged back in! What are the plans in MCC today? 😄

[jade gust]

Like, at some point the idea was they were one and the same, not everyone agreed to it within Bungie and ultimately thanks to the terminals in Halo 3, we learn of them being separate

[candid solar]

"It's not bait guys! I swear it's not bait! I swear! I'd never make bait!"

[trim saddle]

🎣

[naive turret]

That being said it's there for people who care so

[candid tusk]

Can we really trust the terminals though? Too many bit flips over the years, that data's clearly corrupted and spouting out nonsense from a rogue AI.

[normal patio]

I wonder how many years it's gonna take to roll out CE, 2, 3 and then 7.

[naive turret]

Did they ever expand on the ship that Spark found in one of the terminals

[trim saddle]

whaaat data doesnt degrade after time youre crazy /s

[candid tusk]

Absolutely not.

[candid solar]

Data is tasty and crunchy

[jade gust]

Considering that we have more concrete confirmation they're separate, that doesn't matter anymore

[jade gust]

Where did you hear we had more remakes on the way? That's news to me

[normal patio]

Mintblitz

[naive turret]

Good, actually. I know the 'I want mystery' can be a meme opinion but I like that being kept vague.

[candid tusk]

It's very possible that this whole time we've been lead astray by an unreliable narrator.

[jade gust]

https://tenor.com/view/ah-doctor-who-9th-doctor-oh-welp-gif-18126988907287634047

[trim saddle]

that explains a lot.

[steady jolt]

Nothing like that has been confirmed or even hinted at

[normal patio]

...

[candid tusk]

Same. Some stuff can just ~exist~ out there. Doesn't need every rock's underbelly to be explained.

[normal patio]

Is he lying?

[compact herald]

I heard about it as well. I've seen 2 posts about it yesterday and today and it's what I predicted a few days back💀

[jade gust]

I imagine if there was remakes of 2 and 3 coming, they'd stagger them between Halo 7 (Or whatever it's called) and whatever else is coming

But since CE is the only one getting remade, no point worrying about hypothetical remakes of 2 and 3

[obsidian wyvern]

he does that all the time

[compact herald]

They might do it like this, 1st remake then new halo, 2nd remake, then new halo, 3rd remake then new halo back and forth

[steady jolt]

The remake of CE has been announced for 3 seconds, it's waaaay too early to even be thinking about this

[jade gust]

Indeed

[compact herald]

I agree lo but people seem to be excited (as far as I've seen)

[naive turret]

He's got motivation to spin rumours and hearsay since that drives engagement.
And folk aren't coming to him for the montages on fresh players, lol.

[jade gust]

I forgot that was what he did back in his early days

[trim saddle]

halotubers have no information so they just sit on rumors and throw a video together and people just eat it up 🫣

[compact herald]

Who?

[naive turret]

The, subject of the current conversation? Mint Quitz

[candid tusk]

It's actually more like 843,310 seconds.

[steady jolt]

The issue with rumors like this, is that people start taking them and spreading them as fact. Then they get mad at the studio when it turns out it's not a thing

[normal patio]

Ah okay. I watched the video and he got the info from a twitter user named "Halo Leaks" but like.. there's no evidence

[steady jolt]

[compact herald]

Wait when did mint splitz mention it?

[jade gust]

Unironically, I probably could convince them Halo is crossing over with Doctor Who by sharing a blurry screenshot of Master Chief fighting a Dalek in Unreal Engine

[naive turret]

Shout out to General Heed though, guy's always finding new and cool stuff to dig up and showcase.

[jade gust]

But I'd need a 3D model of a Dalek for that

[trim saddle]

oh i know they exist.

[compact herald]

Would be funny to try and have it work

[normal patio]

I'm sure it's hard as a Halo content creator - the game is barely popular anymore.

[jade gust]

Aye, I just don't have one on hand and I don't trust my 3D modelling skills to do one justice

[naive turret]

The Time Strategist did a funny one day-

[jade gust]

Exactly

[candid tusk]

That's what day jobs are for.

[steady jolt]

The answer to that can't be spreading misinformation though. Plenty of Halo creators out there that are getting by not doing that

[normal patio]

Damn u right😭

[obsidian wyvern]

which is nighterlev which means it's completely unreliable

[trim saddle]

sensor that name please lol

[obsidian wyvern]

idc if he sees me calling him out this time lol

[trim saddle]

we mustn't summon it

oh well then thats fine lol

Is there any solid news on what's happening with Halo besides the release of CE which.. I kinda wish they decided to release 3 first but yk

[candid tusk]

The most solid news available is on HaloWaypoint.

[obsidian wyvern]

we don't know anything more than the CE remake and that they have multiple projects they're working on

[steady jolt]

There are multiuple projects in development right now

[trim saddle]

none that Halo Studios has said, besides that theyre working on multiple projects.

[jade gust]

I hope Unggoy Farmer is one of the projects. Let it be a surprise release before the end of the year

[timid roost]

Elite dating sim you mean

[trim saddle]

I want this so bad, and the halo megablok game.

[compact herald]

Kinda impressive that a small studio is working on multiple projects and still managing to deliver

[timid roost]

They havent delivered yet gotta wait n see

[jade gust]

Nah, that's a separate project and we need Unggoy Farmer first

[trim saddle]

i want to play spartan survivor too

[dim cave]

A lot of them

[jade gust]

To be fair, the Megabloks game was a real thing, it just was cancelled before finishing development

[ornate sequoia]

I would like for halo studios devs to work 1 extra hour every day. from 7 hours to a full 8, not including lunch.

[candid solar]

The guy who constantly insists he knows how netcode works despite constantly needing to be corrected on the subject of netcode because he doesn't actually understand how it works? That Mint Blitz?

[trim saddle]

I know, but i want it. I think thatll be SO much fun.

[candid solar]

I would like Halo studio devs to receive an increase in pay roughly equivelant to one extra day of work a week without actually increasing their hours.

[molten pelican]

I want game studio devs to be paid more to work less and I'm NOT kidding

[steady jolt]

4 day week gang rise up!

[ornate sequoia]

nice constructive

[robust spear]

just finished a mission, it was hell

[timid roost]

But think of how fast they could make games with a 16 hour work day and no lunch break

[jade gust]

I'd rather they not be forced to work extra hours if they can help it. Game devs already have enough going against them as is with the expecations from higherups or fans of the games they make. Not to mention how hard it is to even find a stable job in the industry these days

[molten pelican]

7 days a week no holiday leave

[timid roost]

If they didnt get paid the games would virtually be free 🔥

[trim saddle]

me when i look at my bank account

screw it, take away their chairs

[candid tusk]

Corporate America: You mean four twelves, right?

[steady jolt]

You dipped in here looking for people to work more with absolutely ZERO reasoning, so...

[trim saddle]

[ornate sequoia]

untrue

[jade gust]

So long as there's a dungeon to play games in as well

Halo 5 campaign is actually a bit underrated, it was picking up steam near the end, just needed 3 more levels.

Kill 40 Wraiths with smgs this time. 🥴

[candid solar]

NGL, a new Spartan Strike with customization, better loadout systems, and more options would be neat.

'That time my Pelican crashed and awakened an ancient evil, but it's okay because these cool robots want to help me'

Plotting and scheming

[molten pelican]

What do they sound like?

[obsidian wyvern]

this is unfortunately something you'd actually find

[candid tusk]

Has to have orange lettering.

[naive turret]

The twist is the robots do not want to help.

[trim saddle]

things are silent when theyre plotting.

[molten pelican]

Star Trek is very boring

[obsidian wyvern]

so true

OG Star Trek is unintentionally really funny lol

Its very important that the robots are chill until the very last level bc they arent the most fun to fight

That'd probably be the Gravemind

[ornate sequoia]

oh yea lols

[obsidian wyvern]

guardians may be taller

[hasty zinc]

100%

[copper storm]

Halo

[naive turret]

Ahhh tru tru

[jade gust]

I disagree, the Prometheans are purposely different to the other Forerunner constructs we've encountered to hint at what they truly are. It's why they also have the skulls under the faceplates of the Knights

[obsidian wyvern]

just maybe

[timid roost]

I mean you can just sorta scale up a gravemind and have it be taller than a guardian though right, like a keymind is dwarfing a guardian (though we might not be counting books here)

[obsidian wyvern]

pile all the humans and elites into a tower

[vagrant kettle]

Replayed a halo 3 mission, the dirgesinger helmet is NOT the graveminds face.
The real gravemind has a funny demogorgon flower mouth, and the helmet is just mandibles and inner jaws

[jade gust]

Stack every Elite on top of one another in a large Elite ladder

[naive turret]

Lancer Artoria's plan unironically

[obsidian wyvern]

🤨

[jade gust]

Dirgesinger is based on how the Gravemind looks in H2A's cutscenes. We also don't see a "face" for the Gravemind in Halo 3

[ornate sequoia]

top 5 halo villains
cortana with guardian
didact
gravemind
atriox
jackal sniper

[timid roost]

But wait, if the didact is 11 feet tall, why are some forerunner doors so short? Is he just a really big dude by forerunner standards?

[jade gust]

Didact wasn't originally that tall is the best way of putting it

[vagrant kettle]

I meant halo 2, sorry
I’m planning on playing halo 3 later today so I got confused

[tired bloom]

I hate halo 4

[timid roost]

Im sure lol he got the boss treatment its just funny to think ab

[hasty zinc]

that's perfectly valid. Not everyone can have good taste!

[naive turret]

He's just wearing platforms.

[ornate sequoia]

halo 4 on unreal would be amazing actually, because like halo 1, it's the start of a trilogy

[obsidian wyvern]

right I can't stand this place lol

[tired bloom]

Only thing i found decent about 4 was the story

[hasty zinc]

I mean to be fair, if you boil it down to the basics it's just CE lol

[molten pelican]

It's a very depressing city I don't blame you

[jade gust]

Being the start of something doesn't mean it needs to be on Unreal. I'm not really sure what you're trying to say here

[hasty zinc]

Wake up on UNSC ship that's being attacked by aliens > flee ship > crash land on ancient forerunner installation > awaken ancient evil > "destroy" ancient evil with big boom

[molten pelican]

But halo 4 is essentially CE

[timid roost]

What halo 4 did to the art style i cannot forgive, the warrior helmet and elite zealot helmet are the only good additions to the existing factions

[bright fjord]

beating halo reach in one sitting

[tired bloom]

I always thought halo infinite shared a resemblance to ce

[jade gust]

It definitely parallels, I'm just not sure why Mudila was bringing up Unreal Engine as if that's somehow important to starting a story

[ornate sequoia]

Sounds good to me

[bright fjord]

currently did nightfall

[molten pelican]

Because

[ornate sequoia]

Halo reach movie would be spectacular decision by hollywood

[naive turret]

It's the conversational equivelant of blind darts.

[jade gust]

Ok, so they're just saying random things for the sake of it

[naive turret]

We got that nine years ago btw, it was called Rogue One.

[hasty zinc]

yeah that's usually what they do lol

[molten pelican]

lol true h8

Need to rewatch r1, great film

[candid solar]

Personally I want to see a Gravemind take over a Guardian and use it like a flying evil rotbird thing

[jade gust]

Rogue One is better now thanks to Andor (It was still good without Andor but that show really improves it)

[molten pelican]

Andor is better because of mullet

[vagrant kettle]

Watching rogue 1 after binging Andor was the best thing I ever did

[naive turret]

I'm happy we got to see more of Melshi, what a lad (no bias)

[jade gust]

https://tenor.com/view/true-correct-dwight-schrute-rainn-wilson-right-gif-23822659

[jade gust]

It was great to see more of him, I just wish there was a way to change his fate (Same with most the characters in Rogue One and Andor honestly)

[molten pelican]

Time travel and a multiverse

[jade gust]

Let me see if I can steal a time machine then

Granted I have other things I'd be changing first

[normal patio]

I liked some aspects of the art style in 4 and 5 but everything felt too bulky and flashy. And some of the Spartan IV's armour looked less angular and militaristic and more alien. And the elite redesign sucked.

[tired bloom]

They should make a cinematic halo movie or series

[normal patio]

But there were definitely good parts of that art style. I prefer the Halo Infinite art style more though. Feels more grounded while also having that signature halo look, like CE.

[tired bloom]

Thats old tho

[jade gust]

But it's good

[molten pelican]

For the budget it's fine yeah

[steady jolt]

There's also Nightfall and the Halo series on Paramount/Netflix

[naive turret]

'You're the last survivors'
'In the school?'
'On the planet.'

[tired bloom]

I remember watching halo landfall, when i was younger it was some halo 3 promotional video my cousin had on a dvd

[edgy geode]

Real

[molten pelican]

nightfall lol

[jade gust]

I'd say Infinite took way more inspiration from Reach. Like, the AR is basically just an updated Reach AR and the marines are based on the ones seen in Reach. Plus, plenty of things in Infinite are Halo 5 era designs, like the Wasp, Mongoose, Plasma Pistol, Plasma Turret and Warthog

[hasty zinc]

I remember watching a football game on the edge of the couch waiting for the H3 starry night commercial premier lol

I can't even remember who was playing at the time

[molten pelican]

packers and they were winning

[hasty zinc]

was it actually?

[molten pelican]

idk lol

[normal patio]

Yeah I noticed how similar the AR is to the Reach one

[hasty zinc]

Panthers and Eagles

Eagles won

[molten pelican]

What year did that debut?

[hasty zinc]

2006

[candid solar]

Should've kept the Halo 5 Scorp.

[jade gust]

I agree

[candid solar]

It is nearly identical.

[jade gust]

And the Pilum should've been kept instead of being ditched for the SPNKr coming back

[normal patio]

They went back to the original design with the tall turret

[tired bloom]

I recently completed halo 5 campaign

Wasn’t as bad as i remembered it but it was still pretty bad

[normal patio]

Which looks a bit more like a contemporary tank and has more straight angles. They definitely were making a return to form with the Halo Infinite art style

[meager linden]

Good night people of Halo

[normal patio]

Guten Nacht

[silent apex]

yo guys I bought a nerf needler off of amazon

[jade gust]

What Trench is saying is they prefer the Halo 5 Scorpion over the Reach style one seen in Infinite

[normal patio]

I know

I'm saying they went back to the one closer to the original design with Halo Infinite instead of the Halo 5 Scorpion

Which I prefer, although the scorpion design in 5 was great

[candid solar]

No? Lmao. It's also literally just the Reach tank.

Halo 5's Scorp is the only Scorpion primarily designed like an actual tank, it's why it takes design cues from the Merkava

The rest are more of "What you think a tank looks like after a bender"

[normal patio]

The reach tank is very similar to the ones before it

Compared to the Halo 5 Scorpion

[candid solar]

Not really relevant.

Also doesn't solve my main issue which is, I strongly dislike the Reach scorp

[normal patio]

That's a return to form like I said

[normal patio]

Agree to disagree. I do see what you're saying with the Halo 5 Scorpion though looking like the Merkava, which when I think of contemporary tanks, I think more Leopard and Abrams

Which are less modern

[candid solar]

It also basically apes the design like a barbarian would.

[humble moat]

Campaign Evolved is gonna be a gateway for so many people into Halo. Hope HS hits the mark with this.

[timid roost]

I think the idea with the scorp in not halo 5 is that the elevated turret can shoot over hills without exposing the main body but thats kinda silly for a tank

[analog knot]

This is total rumor based on nothing, which should bother you to repeat it 😄

[timid roost]

Like imagine engaging the enemy and being like oh man how am i gonna survive this i cant find a hill

[normal patio]

Lol I made the same mistake 5 seconds ago dw

[humble moat]

That's... a leak? YouTubers are repeating it as if it's gospel lmao.

[normal patio]

Their thirsty for content

[humble moat]

Odd. My bad then.

[analog knot]

Yeah and I've been told MCC is about to come to PS5 for years now

[steady jolt]

Nothing like this has been confirmed or even hinted at by the studio

[jade gust]

I wouldn't really be saying the main cannon is raised higher on the Halo 5 Scorpion compared to the Reach/H4/Infinite design

[humble moat]

My bad then, I'm usually privy to such misinformation. Must be all the methane.

[timid roost]

Sorry, i couldve been clearer, i meant that the classic design had a more elevated turret whereas the 5 design was more rounded and low profile

[jade gust]

Ah, even then, there doesn't seem to be much of a difference in the height of the main cannon

[timid roost]

I mean Idk, just looking at the pics you sent i can see a pretty significant difference, the classic design has a long ‘neck’

[misty marsh]

I think its more an illusion. The head itself is flatter on the reach design which out next to the thinner neck makes it look much higher

[candid solar]

A neck with exposed movement components and mantlets that do nothing useful.

[pallid isle]

Look up and down farther

[obsidian wyvern]

i like the halo 5 design but i think infinite's is better

[timid roost]

It might be heresy but i think some of the h5 designs look more practical than the classic ones, like with the rocket launcher yeah i think a mag-fed rocket launcher that hits just as hard as a giant 2-tube launcher is probably more efficient lol

[misty marsh]

Personally the reach one looks more like it fits being called a 'scorpion', I also just don't like the roundedness of H5s

[candid solar]

You don't need that much elevation on a tank! That's literally why the 5 version is more useful!

[pallid isle]

Rule of cool sci fi design overrules

[candid solar]

"Rule of Cool" only works if the design is actually cool

[jade gust]

Unless it's a dedicated anti-air tank, you're not typically aiming in the air

[candid solar]

Instead of so stupid that it stops being cool

[timid roost]

The spnkr clears here so we’ll allow it lol

[pallid isle]

I think the halo tank is pretty cool

All of the scorpions look good

[candid solar]

I won't, I'll be a Reach tank hater forever

If it were the 3 tank I'd grudgingly accept it, but the Reach tank specifically is the design I hate

[pallid isle]

Its pretty good for banshees ngl

[odd anchor]

[jade gust]

In game sure, but that doesn't make it an anti-air vehicle

Like, honestly, they should just make a dedicated anti-air Scorpion we can use

[pallid isle]

I say if it aint broke dont fix it

[naive turret]

Something with an mrls perhaps

[pallid isle]

Regular scorpion clears banshees

[naive turret]

Maybe a half-track

[jade gust]

Like, give us the Sun Devil from Ground Command

[timid roost]

Oh i just meant that rule of cool lets the spnkr go on despite being extremely impractical compared to the h5 rocket

[naive turret]

they could name it after a popular marvel character

[odd anchor]

meow

[timid roost]

Wolverine erasure

I loooove halftrack vehicles

[candid solar]

The issue is that it is broke! It's broken because the mantlets were too small to do their job, so now your gun is stuck at a silly elevation! If it can even fire!

[odd anchor]

Halo cats

[royal terrace]

Hello family

[pallid isle]

Eh well as long as its fun to use i dont care much

[jade gust]

Multiple vehicles can fulfil the same role. Plus, giving us an anti-air Scorpion means they can save time with animation and modelling since they'd only need to model a new anti-air cannon for it

[candid solar]

Plus the Sun Devil has quad autocannons so it's dakka

Much more fun than lame missiles

[muted rose]

The way tech is going all we’re gonna get is drones and missiles

[candid solar]

Nah.

[muted rose]

10 million wombats

[timid roost]

Halo wars 2 started embracing the drones as they should

[muted rose]

The UNSC has drones

[candid solar]

MFW I'll never have a personal gundrone in a Halo game because Halo fans are stinky and scream with rage whenever gameplay adds anything new

[timid roost]

The human covenant war wouldve been won pre-schism if they went full ukraine on the drone warfare but the games r old

[muted rose]

More recon and fire support roles then whatever Russia does with them these days

[muted rose]

Guard dog rover for halo? Count me in personally

[timid roost]

This is an exaggeration i know the covenant doesnt fight on the ground like that but still imagine how many cheap explosive drones you could buy for the cost of a spartan

[candid solar]

Finally, a use for those stupid M7s.

[pallid isle]

Why doesn’t halo studios just ignore the haters please 🙏

[muted rose]

They’d be great for a pve game, I have no idea how it’d work for pvp

[hasty zinc]

I never picked it up that this is Kirstin Dunst in TNG

[obsidian wyvern]

why is her brain exposed

[humble moat]

Is that her... brain?

[pallid isle]

The type of haircut you get at great clips

[hasty zinc]

she's part of another species

[humble moat]

Seems like a pretty big evolutionary blunder if your brain's exposed.

[pallid isle]

oh i thought that was just a bad haircut

[pallid isle]

Yeah i dont see the purpose

[timid roost]

Human races have more biodiversity between each other than that

[pallid isle]

Did you know that having 6 fingers is Genetically Dominant and 5 is recessive

[timid roost]

I feel like they couldve went more star wars with their alien races

[muted rose]

There is an abundance of biodiversity in my recycling bin as well

[timid roost]

[hasty zinc]

so are humans having an exposed throat, but here we are

[trim saddle]

Yall think Xbox will adjust the prices if enough people protest?

[trim saddle]

Youll need that to wash down some spartan scrub

Define "protest"

[misty marsh]

Seeing what happened with Nintendo, no cause people will probs just buy anyway

[compact herald]

Not subscribing to the gamepasses, not purchasing xbox products, or any games from the microsoft store

[analog knot]

If they see a significant drop in revenue because of people not purchasing at current prices, yes they would likely respond

Only place worse would be the Roblox discord (if such a place exists)

[misty marsh]

I can't even imagine

I think living with a teen brother and gen alpha brother is bad enough

[trim saddle]

Im glad my 9 and 8 year olds find it annoying.

[analog knot]

Thats so sigma

I will now go wash my mouth out with soap, the kind with grit in it

[misty marsh]

I think the third sentence my baby brother said to me when i got home last week was literally 67

[compact herald]

My little cousin opened my account on the xbox and just went on fortnite playing these brainrot games. I came to find the entire account filled with that stuff and took like a week to flush it down

[trim saddle]

use halo soap.

[misty marsh]

My heart actually broke when I realised it got to him

[hasty zinc]

my daughter does too, but we still say it ironically and then we both go "ugh" after we say it

sometimes we converse in only memes for a good while. My wife had no idea what we're talking about most of the time

[trim saddle]

I think im at the mocking stage of it as well which is why my kids are learning. The tactic of adults joining in usually kills things pretty quick.

[compact herald]

im convinced that its become an actual mental disease

[hasty zinc]

I'm very happy she picked up my habit of randomly quoting tv shows/memes/video when something triggers it in a regular conversation

[misty marsh]

Speak of the devil, my lecturer just asked what to look out for in coursework marking and someone wrote down '6-7 references'

I'll never forget when she made a sniper nest on the lazy boy chair during our Halo Nerf AR living room battle

I was shocked

[compact herald]

can you imagine that today, my classmate since the FACE of the morning until the afternoon , hes been going back and forth with the 67 joke. I got to a point I started saying it just to brighten up the mood because the guy kept making things awkward

[timid roost]

My mother said 67 to me at one point, it kind of hurt my soul (we’re both grown)

[misty marsh]

Update my lecturer didn't get it (thank god) and corrected it to 10 🙏

[misty marsh]

Even joking abt it ironically is getting painful

I miss 21

[trim saddle]

you mean 19?

[timid roost]

You make a good point i guess every generation had a funny number

[misty marsh]

Is this 9+10

[wispy ruin]

I got the reference

[misty marsh]

21, 69 and now it's 67

[obsidian wyvern]

had some kids running around at work shouting 67, was pretty annoying

[timid roost]

Its almost a cycle, we went meaningless-meaningful-meaningless with funny numbers

[trim saddle]

and we used to shout marco polo at the stores.

[compact herald]

my classmate has been at it for 2 weeks straight, how do you think that makes me feel 😭

[obsidian wyvern]

Spocks hair is why I haven't seen it yet

[hasty zinc]

I mean tbh, you can watch TOS, but it's not my favorite. I highly recommend TNG though

[steady jolt]

There is still a year probably until launch, there may be one by then

[wispy ruin]

I hope so, Halo has been Dubbed in Portuguese since 2007, seeing the game come without it in 2026 is, to say the least, VERY Strange, specially considering Halo Studios put effort in Re-Dubbing the English version, which is already good.

Well, technically not quite 12 years ago yet because November 6th is the game's anniversary but you know, it's easier to round it up

[odd anchor]

That's not his full face tho

[jade gust]

It's still his face

[odd anchor]

I meant like

Full face reveal

[jade gust]

Best we got for that is the Fall of Reach animated series, which depicts his 14 year old face

[hasty zinc]

Jarvis, age photo 30 years

[candid tusk]

That's Commander Shepard.

And more like fifty years. lol

[hasty zinc]

nah man, just stress aging

[compact herald]

How old is chief?

[tired bloom]

Thats how id imagine chief to look in his 60s

[candid tusk]

Master Chief has no stress. Locked in, full zen mode.

[tired bloom]

Chief is in his 40s i tbink

[hasty zinc]

49 but physically is younger

[jade gust]

Nah, this is Commander Shepard

[tired bloom]

I wonder if he would still look in his 20s

[tired bloom]

Still gotta finish mass effect 1-3

[compact herald]

pluh my father's older than chief, thats crazy

[jade gust]

It's a fun series

[cloud heron]

As of Halo infinite, master chief is 49 years old.

[hasty zinc]

based on the glimpse in Halo 4, def not

[tired bloom]

Just a grumpy old man

[compact herald]

a question that has kept me up at night..does chief go to the restroom?

[hasty zinc]

so age is 49 but his body is like 45ish

he's a human being

[odd anchor]

Yeah

[tired bloom]

Probably, but im pretty sure if he wee’s in his suit it gets filtered into water iirc

[odd anchor]

... are you serious?

[hasty zinc]

probably not, it's a meme question that has plagued the franchise for decades

[compact herald]

ive legit thought about this for a few days now LOL

[odd anchor]

Why wouldn't he go to the washroom...

[lethal maple]

Isn’t it built into the suit?

[odd anchor]

😭😭😭😭😭

[robust salmon]

in the middle of a fight?

[compact herald]

it just doest feel chief-like

[odd anchor]

Obviously not

[tired bloom]

I mean surely he would still use the rest room when he is rarely out of his suit right?

[candid solar]

Suprapubic catheter implant and highly efficient digestive tract, same answer for IIIs and IVs.

[odd anchor]

Wait you kinda have a point

[robust salmon]

I mean, he could be in his armor for some deployments for weeks at a time...

[cloud heron]

Yeah. If we're taking away his age including cryosleep he's roughly 44/45

[candid solar]

Hence the Suprepubic catheter. That's specifically what long-term catheters like that are for, especially with mobility needed.

[tired bloom]

Maybe he’s just god tier at holding it in

[odd anchor]

What an odd convo

Anyways I'm out

[candid tusk]

Trench just wanted that guy to get some sleep.

[candid solar]

Eh. People just want to make jokes when there is an actual serious likely answer.

[cloud heron]

Maybe we should shift the convo as they're are womenfolk present

[compact herald]

what got deleted lol

[trim saddle]

sorry brother, it'll get better soon. I know it will

[pulsar heron]

you're not wrong

[muted rose]

Funny but true

[robust salmon]

me because of physics

[pulsar heron]

anyway. maybe we should move onto more normal topics perhaps

[trim saddle]

things -are- on the uptick so that was just a joke

[tired bloom]

You guys reckon chief listens to music

[cloud heron]

I was being sarcastic...

[candid solar]

He just listens to the Bloons Tower Defense soundtrack on loop

[compact herald]

i know dw and i replied in a joking way if that was detectable anyways 😭

[trim saddle]

another question that has kept me up at night, has the chief ever changed his underwear?

[hearty flame]

Unlike the Slayer, I don't think John has a soundtrack blasting in his helmet

[hasty zinc]

ok....

[tired bloom]

BTD is some ball knowledge

[normal owl]

He listens to traditional Chinese opera. Helps him to think tactically.

[trim saddle]

Chief probably jams to the doom soundtrack honestly

[cloud heron]

Who said he wears underwear

[compact herald]

there is no way he has used the same pair since OG Ce. absolutely no way

[misty marsh]

It's a basic biological convo lol, gender doesn't matter that much

[trim saddle]

lets not discuss what he wears under the suit...

[compact herald]

wait spartans dont?

[hasty zinc]

let's steer the conversation away from this topic

[misty marsh]

Hot pink spandex 🔥

[robust salmon]

does Chief wear a red or a blue t shirt?

[cloud heron]

I repeat: I was being sarcastic... Learn to read

[tired bloom]

Master cheeks

it's salmon

Black or white tank

[compact herald]

alright i agree. Lets change the topic but an answer would be great. Its the small details that some time matter

[cloud heron]

Green.

[robust salmon]

if 343i doesn't address this in the CE remake Halo is dead

one of those 3 new missions better be an in-depth morning routine of MC

[trim saddle]

343i never will, because its halo studios.

[hearty flame]

If I were John Halo I would probably get Xbox to sponsor me because I would look just like their flagship protag, Master Chief

[cloud heron]

One aspect I really like in the upcoming remake is that if you shoot hunters when they're dead, loads of works crawl out of the main body

[robust salmon]

freaky ahh

[compact herald]

id like to see the chief brush his teeth. He hasnt since CE

[trim saddle]

im sure more details like that will be noticed as we get to play it next year. 🔥

[cloud heron]

Yeah. It makes those who don't know the lore of the Mgalekgolo curious to go research

[compact herald]

does the chief have stomach problems?

[robust salmon]

I wonder what Chief's Reels feed looks like

[cloud heron]

Cortanas cheeks

[compact herald]

woah there buckaroo

[robust salmon]

probably gets UNSC vril reels

[compact herald]

whats his instagram

[cloud heron]

What's your favourite halo game of all time

[compact herald]

reach

[robust salmon]

Reach

[cloud heron]

Nice

[compact herald]

mi bombo

[robust salmon]

lowkey Infinite is prolly my second fav

[compact herald]

see? reach is peak

[robust salmon]

reach is peak art

[cloud heron]

I gotta revisit that game. I stormed through the main story and I think that kinda ruined it for me

[compact herald]

i really want to forget the story and play it over again thinking everything is new. That game is a movie

[robust salmon]

Reach unironically surpasses Witcher 3 as best game story of all time

[cloud heron]

Yeah. Fresh set of eyes world be amazing for infinite

I'm like this with halo 2.

[robust salmon]

I hope H7 has the same open world structure just with more depth

Infinite has a good base but it needs improvement

[compact herald]

Once the new CE comes out, imma lock the doors. Turn off the lights, and put on my headsets at max volume and just play through the game from start to finish at a normal pace, enjoying every second of it

[civic smelt]

I finally found a spartan my size

Oh i cant even send the image

[hasty zinc]

put on my headsets at max volume
you may be joking, but don't do this

[odd anchor]

Man what is this question... 🥀

[compact herald]

Its the small details that Im attentive to ok vro..... 💔

[odd anchor]

No.. just no.

💔

[compact herald]

but please do answer, id like to know ;D

[hasty zinc]

https://tenor.com/bpnlInoFcBL.gif

[compact herald]

google couldnt answer this

[hasty zinc]

well then...

[compact herald]

only someone here can

[candid tusk]

I can confirm, he has IBS.

[odd anchor]

The grunts are just spicy tiny Sangheili

[hasty zinc]

Irritable Banished Syndrome

[compact herald]

thank you for such confirmation sir

[hasty zinc]

shez, is that what you were typing?

[candid tusk]

Absolutely not.

[hasty zinc]

dang

[hasty zinc]

I def thought that was the joke you were making lol

[misty marsh]

Considering he's augmented to be peak human and also has an altered digestive process, I'm gonna safely assume stomache problems dont fall under his umbrella of concerns

[candid tusk]

I was being goofy, but your version of the answer saved it.

[candid solar]

It'd be funny if a Spartan IV had a stronger stomach considering they can apparently literally eat a tree.

[misty marsh]

Delicious bark

[candid tusk]

Source? (Unironically)

[tight remnant]

Halo Initiation

[trim saddle]

its ruff to chew, takes a bit.

[candid solar]

IV Augs go crazy tbh

[misty marsh]

I've seen people make bark flavoured ice cream and it's so intriguing icl

[trim saddle]

Imagine the bubblegut youd get from eating roasted grunt.

[naive turret]

https://tenor.com/view/pinecones-did-ice-iceage-sidthesloth-gif-6317579

[candid solar]

Oh yeah, that guy.

[misty marsh]

That guy indeed

[trim saddle]

worse than the reaction I got from eating roadside food in Iraq I imagine. Very tasty, just not what my stomach was used to lol

[misty marsh]

It just looks oddly appealing

[scenic hinge]

new godzilla movie title drop

[misty marsh]

Roasted grunt is surely rookie work compared to the infamous Egypt tummy

[scenic hinge]

Moa Burger

[timid roost]

ive been to the middle east too, you kinda learn there are some places that serve safe chicken and the rest are to be avoided lol

[hasty zinc]

minus zero right?

[obsidian wyvern]

zero zero

[hasty zinc]

Minus One was so good

[obsidian wyvern]

wait minus 0 yeah https://x.com/Godzilla_Toho/status/1985184471142858942

midus one vs Godzilla X Kong peak cinema

[scenic hinge]

Godzilla: Goo

[trim saddle]

I had sheep, i knew it was fresh because they were in the process of draining it when we first passed by the stand heading out for our mission.

[hasty zinc]

https://tenor.com/jAAlNesSrRA.gif

[timid roost]

i see

[hasty zinc]

I need to make an HD version of that gif

[normal owl]

I still need to watch Godzilla x Kong

[scenic hinge]

godzilla fans have been eating proper these past years

[misty marsh]

Same

[scenic hinge]

though i still need to see my GOAT Jet Jaguar

[misty marsh]

Was Kong skull island part of that universe cause that's the last one I've seen then

[normal owl]

I believe so yeah. It's part of the "Monsterverse". And that part where they fell into the valley of giant bugs haunted my nightmares. Oops, mixed up Peter Jackson's version.

[scenic hinge]

i think it is

[obsidian wyvern]

i got bored watching skull island

[placid raft]

Hii guys wassup

[scenic hinge]

Some of the old godzilla kaijus still haunt me...

Biollante was something

[robust salmon]

skull island is peak cinema

[misty marsh]

I don't even remember it but I liked it enough to watch it at least 5 times

[placid raft]

[hasty zinc]

I'm starting to realize rev has terrible taste in media

[misty marsh]

Hes got his moments

[amber mirage]

Stopped clocks and whatnot

[jade gust]

You only just realised?

[hasty zinc]

I've always had a feeling, but todays events confirmed it

[amber mirage]

Reminds me that I need to continue my trekking through the stars at some point

[candid tusk]

Where'd you leave off?

[hasty zinc]

on the last season of TNG rn

[amber mirage]

Finished the OG series this year. Gonna do the Animated Series next

[normal owl]

I needed this accountability: need to continue my Discovery/SNW plow.

[muted rose]

Was going to say “at least he likes Titanfall” but he didn’t finish cyberpunk so nah

[normal owl]

but it almost snuck by me: new Prime Video series King & Conqueror starring Jaime Lannister came out and I am so excited. Epic historical battle & politics is my favorite genre of all.

[pliant hatch]

engage. haven't watched in years, but it was a great show.

[tired bloom]

The animated halo series was actually fun

[hybrid plover]

i’m leaving tomorrow but i could leave today

[tired bloom]

I remember one of the episodes had a knock off master chief, forgot his name.

[hybrid plover]

somewhere down the road someday

[misty marsh]

Cyberpunks a bit of a drag to start

[muted rose]

The endings are the best part

[tired bloom]

Cyberpunk is one of my favourite games

Slow burn, but the side missions are peak

[misty marsh]

But if I'm not engaged enough to reach those endings whats the point

[amber mirage]

This is true. I haven't even started it.

[muted rose]

And the like, middle and second half just before during and after phantom liberty are awesome as you hit the up curve

[hybrid plover]

u got nerfed in that regards

[misty marsh]

Ive tried twice, done cc and the first two missions, logged off and then never felt the urge to log back on

[muted rose]

If I did this every time I got a game I’d have played maybe 2 games

There’s always a boring part

[tired bloom]

The most boring part was after the heist

[misty marsh]

That's fair but the start should not be where you choose to be boring

[tired bloom]

In the scrap yard

[hybrid plover]

gta 6 campaign better be fire

[misty marsh]

Good writing is meant to hook you in at the beginning, not make you tolerate it with the promise of it getting good later

[muted rose]

The Johnny introduction was peak so I have no complaints

[obsidian wyvern]

cyberpunk sucks tfym

[hybrid plover]

L rage bait

[tired bloom]

Yh im pre ordering ts

[hybrid plover]

me too for sure

[ocean herald]

we gotta stop letting this guy have opinions

[muted rose]

Anything with dex sucks

[obsidian wyvern]

u like reach

[compact herald]

grilled pinecones mmmmmm

[sonic tulip]

Wheres Halo 7???

[misty marsh]

Cyberpunk looks pretty at least

[hybrid plover]

cyberpunk is amazing

[obsidian wyvern]

i have enough hours on it to say its mid

[compact herald]

it came out yesteday

[pliant hatch]

I'm at the part where I finally got to my apt., but haven't played since. I hope we don't have to hang out all the time with the guy who's supposed to be my best bud.

[compact herald]

(i love spreading misinfo)

[obsidian wyvern]

does he know

[hybrid plover]

25 ain’t nothing. that’s one play thro. you just made bad decisions

[tired bloom]

Id probably say halo and gta are two of my favourite gaming franchises

[muted rose]

He doesn’t know…

[sonic tulip]

ok

[misty marsh]

That's the only point I can give for it, even the cc was bad cause I spent ages making my girl look nice just for her to look chopped in the cut scenes

[ocean herald]

i haven't finished the main questline, i stopped to do all the ncpd hustles

[obsidian wyvern]

i havent even finished the playthrough because i got bored

[pliant hatch]

I don't know anything

[sonic tulip]

Day 17 asking for Halo wars 3

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah i was doing the side missions for like the last 5 hours

[hybrid plover]

restart and don’t do what you did before

[compact herald]

CE comes out 2026. MP game has no info on it yet

[obsidian wyvern]

dialogue is pretty cringe as well

[ocean herald]

the open world is the redeeming quality. i did hear that the expansion was actually good though

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah

[hybrid plover]

i’m offended by your awful opinion

[obsidian wyvern]

id only play the expansion once ive got through the main story though, and that seems unlikely

[tired bloom]

Yh the DLC is good, feels like a whole other game tbh

[muted rose]

Probably did Streetkid and tried to max out level before the heist

[ocean herald]

i like the base game. i'm only saying that even if you don't love the story, there's nothing else out with such a cool open world

[tired bloom]

CDPR are usually good when it comes to dlcs

[obsidian wyvern]

ok i did streetkid, and no i always just get sidetracked with sidemissions lol

[pliant hatch]

Once I hit hero rank, I'll play it more.

[hybrid plover]

there’s not one singular story also. that’s like the whole point

[muted rose]

Streetkid life path sucks sooo much

Corpo is the way

[tired bloom]

I always picked corpo

[obsidian wyvern]

i thought youd at least say nomad

[misty marsh]

I checked reddit for recommendations and everyone said streetkid was best tbh

[muted rose]

Nomad gives you cheat dialogue in some missions

[ocean herald]

i started a corpo run but didn't get far. my furthest run is with nomad

[tired bloom]

Female character everytime too

[obsidian wyvern]

the combat sucks as well

[muted rose]

Reddit is wrong as usual

[obsidian wyvern]

its so jank, doesnt feel smooth in the slightest

[misty marsh]

Yeah. Can't argue w that

[ocean herald]

this guy

[tired bloom]

Hell no, gameplay is good

[misty marsh]

If and when I have a third attempt I'll try corpo ig

[muted rose]

There are abilities in the skill tree you unlock that make it far better

[tired bloom]

Especially with mods

[hybrid plover]

don’t take reddits recommendations. take recommendations from friends whom you trust their opinion

[muted rose]

Think edgerunners

[obsidian wyvern]

with mods is a whole different story

[amber mirage]

Don't take recommendations. Ruins the fun of discovery

[muted rose]

You dont have to use a quick hack deck either

Sandevistan or beserk is fun

[misty marsh]

The only person in my life who played cyberpunk at the time I tried to play was my brother and the only contribution he wanted to give me was to make my character an 'abg'

[obsidian wyvern]

ok let me specify, the guns dont feel good

[obsidian wyvern]

🤨

[candid tusk]

That's what VATS is for. Saves all of the headache.

[misty marsh]

Exactly my reaction. I hate 16 year olds gng

[muted rose]

Your at a point where you have low level bad guns, liberty and, I forget the smaller one, all suck

[tired bloom]

Without mods the combat is still good

[obsidian wyvern]

well my 25 hours of gameplay says no. there was just one smg i liked and thats it

[hybrid plover]

he’s only got 25 hours in it. brother knows .1 percent of the game

[ocean herald]

i've started doing more netrunner type stuff. i only use guns to cleanup the stragglers

[muted rose]

Use katanas

[tired bloom]

On my first play through on cyberpunk i was just running around with a flaming katana with max reflex

[obsidian wyvern]

katana was fun on a bike, modern jousting lol

[muted rose]

Level up reflexes or technical ability

Max tech with projectile launcher + relic upgrades is stupid

[obsidian wyvern]

ok but having to pour in hours and hours for a game to start becoming fun isnt a good thing

[tired bloom]

When i was last playing i was doing a netrunner build

[hybrid plover]

it’s hard to give recommendations cause there’s so many factors

[misty marsh]

Say this louder pls

[muted rose]

Being powerful at the beginning sucks even more
