Also removing warthogs being a stupid thing about D1 and D2.

Also removing all the good progression D1 finally patched in. What the gently caress was that. D2 was literally a re-tread of everything Vanilla D1 hosed up that they slowly fixed over like three years.

The lack of multi-player vehicles was just stupid and a big "why?" thing. It's one of the most fun bits of Halo and... just none of it in Destiny. As for the progression stuff, I'm sure it's because of different teams working on different things and some designer going "wait, I know the best way to do this!" and being totally wrong.

Big team battle. It was a staple of the Halo series where you'd have 8v8 and lots of vehicles involved.

Halo with lots of people

I spent more time in BTB and 2v2v2v2 than anything else in Halo 3.

I'm pretty jealous - I had a static of real-life friends at at the end of Heavensward/first few months of Stormblood and doing savage/EX fights in a regular group is by far the most fun thing in the game. It broke up for reasons, and I haven't had the drive to meet new people and get into a new one yet.

plus I'm bad at the game

I raided throughout ARR and beat Bahamut but the static was only like, 4 good people out of 8 and the problems were always the same bad people every time. The good players were a core group of closer friends but like, this was before cross-server parties so there were literally no good Bards on Ultros that didn't already have a static so trying to replace them would have been pointless. Plus trying to schedule 8 people to show up on time every week is like herding cats so we were always pugging 1-2 people and around the beginning of Heavensward I decided enough was enough and just quit. Since then they've added cross-server parties so if someone doesn't work out you actually can replace them. My irl friend just sorta accidentally fell into a static last tier and they were looking for a melee this tier so I was able to get in. The reports of the progress they made in Sigmascape were so rapid compared to the shitfest I remember with my old static in Coil that I'm excited to play with competent players consistently for the first time.

"My brain is amazing! It's full of wrinkles, and... Uh... Wait... What am I trying to say?"
Nice, good luck! Towards the end of my static's run we were having to grab 1-2 pugs and the only day everyone could make it was Monday night so we got some star players, let me tell you.

I love pokemon but boy does it need a "I've been playing the games longer than the target demographic has been alive, cut the tutorial bullshit" option

i don't remember being bothered by the tutorials and slow pace in Moon (skipped XY) but i was also in a big depressive funk at the time so my experience isn't reliable. i do want to play it again tho

jak 3 is weird. everything that's taken from jak ii is a straight improvement, like adding onto the guns and making the mech way less awful to control and generally getting rid of the shittier vehicle missions and making the harder ones a lot more forgiving, and light jak's flight ability is really fun to use

but the entire desert area, is completely miserable to drive around because all of the desert vehicles control like utter horseshit, so any time they ask you to go there it loving sucks. the one time any of those vehicles are fun to use is the one time you don't use them in the desert

i'm also kind of angry at jak 3 right now because my ps3 froze right at the final boss and i don't know if that means i'll have to repeat the whole section leading up to it, which was, a really awful section

Anyone know how you're supposed to infiltrate the military bases in Prototype later on when they have like four or five overlapping virus detectors plus two of the drone things moving around? I can't seem to find any way of sabotaging them without setting something off :(

the funny thing is that i was ultimately sort of okay with jak ii's weird direction cause it at least felt like, new, but jak 3 makes me think that ultimately an actual continuation of jak and daxter in the spirit of the original probably would've been a lot better cause of how much it totally fumbles actually building on its own weird story twists from the second game in a fun or interesting way

and like the best parts of jak ii, at least tonally, were already pretty reminiscent of the first game, so i feel like that just backs me up on this
