Funkmaster General posted:Wait, are the Guardians in Halo 5 supposed to be the mysterious force that kills you for going out of bounds in older Halo games? You know, "Killed by the guardians." I think that's where the name comes from but it goes literally no further than that. MickRaider posted:Do they ever explain what an AI "is" As Cortana starts (awkwardly) referring to them as all of a sudden, they're "created". That's all that defines AI in the Halo universe, they have sentience and they were artificially created. How they operate isn't really important as long as they're sentient and weren't born from evolution. Exactly how the UNSC AIs work you'll have to go read some book to find out but its really not important.

It's been a while since I listened to fall of reach but if I recall they make AI by some process using dead peoples brains, which are in some way expended when you do this, the exception to this being Cortana who they made by making a flash clone of Halsey's brain and using that.

So wait, I didn't get a clear answer about defeating the Warden solo on legendary. You can just headshot him a bunch and hope for the best? You can assassinate him...?? At what point is he vulnerable to something like that? Is there a visual or audio cue? I'm so annoyed by this fight.

I know at one point before that there's dialogue that is in the game that directs Locke Halo to aim for the glowing weak spot on another enemy so try that

If you hear him grunt you know you are damaging him. That and luck basically dodging the mobs because he just keeps spawning him, it's best just to put as much damage into him as fast as you can from any direction

I don't know about assassinating him, but otherwise beating him is literally just a dps race. As long as you can put large amounts of damage on him really fast, he'll just get stun-locked and die. But if you let him run around at all he'll just come carve you in half in a second. Make sure you tell your squad to focus on him (because SPARTANs are too loving stupid to attack a boss unless you tell them to first  ) but otherwise just put a ton of bullets in his face as soon as possible.Ignore the adds or turrets and just focus on him immediately without pause. You would THINK that clearing the adds and turrets before engaging him would be a smart strategy, but no, 343i is too loving thick for that. By comparison Destiny's bosses are positively genius.

Its just laughable and it boggles my mind how that poo poo got through playtesting, or even get suggested in the first place.

I'm kind of wondering if they pulled a Revengeance, where one team wrote the original betrayal story, scenes relating to it, etcetera, then when the remainder of Old Bungie left they started from Zero + Some Assets on the singleplayer. Because seriously, the AI sounds utterly abysmal for a series that once prided itself on having smart, unique, and engaging AI.

If you're gonna do big enemies you shouldn't have boss fights - just have ambient critters like the emus and gundarks on Reach. Have alien dinosaurs or something and then they get digitized/floodified or whatnot.

Its not a matter of it "getting through playtesting", playtesting says "does this boss fight work?" answer "yes". That was a conscious design decision because somebody wanted to save money and/or cut time, possibly because they were behind schedule. But yeah, the fight with the one guy at the beginning absolutely should have been a boss fight but it was just a cutscene, but Halo boss fights have always kinda sucked so I was almost okay with that. But then they have us do an actual boss and its the same goddamned thing three times in a row, with one more of them each time. loving unbelievable. BobbyBaudoin posted:The AI is hilariously bad and I feel awful for those of you attempting legendary solo. I'm not even going to try it. Heroic solo is already a massive pain in the rear end. Co-op legendary I'm sure isn't that bad and is probably even pretty fun. You could pull off some clinch rez moves to keep your team going through heavy fire. But with the AI? gently caress Legendary, much less LASO. The campaign in general is pretty dead to me, just going to play a bit of multi here and there until the community completely dies in 2 months.

The Locke/Chief fight should have been exactly like a 1v1 Team Slayer match to like 10 points and it would have been the best boss fight in the entire series + possibly any other FPS as well

I mean really you didn't even mention a carefully crafted cut scene that was made before the game and makes no sense in context

Battlefield campaigns are a joke and comparing Halo to Battlefield really shows how far its sunk over the years. CoD campaigns are pretty forgettable but I do remember the name "Soap" MacTavish as well as Captain Price, and I've only played each CoD game like maybe once or twice. On the other hand I remember Master Chief, Cortana, Keyes, Arbiter, 343 guilty spark, Johnson, Buck, Lord Hood, Noble Team (Carter, Cat, Emile, Jorge, Jun), etc. Bungie was good at that poo poo. But I don't really remember anything from 4 other than the stupid Librarian and the stupid Didact and Captain Angrypants, and from 5 I only remember Cortana coming back from the dead and how extremely badly her character transition was handled

I don't remember the specific name, but Infinitys captain in Halo 4 was a huge rear end in a top hat and got all his marines killed by an annoyed Master Chief to prove a point (I can't stop killing friendlies in campaigns)

I beat the Warden solo on Legendary, hooray! Definitely going to be hitting this one level at a time, because it's just too grindy to put up with for much longer than that. I can only imagine the frustration I'm going to have with multiple Wardens. Other than that, I'm not really having too much trouble on my own, honestly. The squad AI is useless, so if I get downed somewhere, I generally just reboot from the checkpoint and skip right to trying again. That's how doing legendary always worked in the past, and it'll be fine this time. Only difference is the boss fight stuff. Anyway, I'm morbidly curious to see what the sales figures for Halo 5 wind up being. My gut instinct tells me it's going to have a weak release, maybe the weakest of the whole series - but will get slow and steady growth as they release more game modes and maps for the multiplayer. Or Hell, maybe Fallout 4 and the next Call of Duty will just strangle it in its crib.
