yeah I never really liked the other Halo games but I loved infinite. The gameplay loop of “zip over, throw in all your grenades and scanners and then go in blasting” was so fun

they said it was gonna be a GAAS to cover the fact that 343i are extremely inept and the game will never be finished

Probably a price mistake but people are getting them delivered with no issues as of 2 min ago. Sadly none in my area but worth a shot if you want an extra controller

I dunno if it's true but apparently SoT is one of the biggest games on Steam which I find hard to believe but considering they're still supporting it the game must be a huge success? Rare must be really happy they finally got to do their own thing and it's taken off the way that it has.

Halo Infinite support is frustrating though, they just need a steady flow of new multiplayer maps but we've only had two so far and it's a shame 'cause 343 can make incredible maps (Halo 4 managed quantity & quality) and they've nailed the gameplay and sandbox now so it just needs more levels to play in but support's really slow. The Battle Royale mode is being handled by another developer so I dunno if they're focusing heavily on co-op or Forge but just a steady trickle of new maps (and toys e.g. new weapons and vehicles) would be great. There's plenty of old maps that they could just remaster as well so the whole situation is confusing. They made a winner and gamers voted it GOTY and since then they've just gone completely silent aside from the new season not long ago. It's a weird situation. There's so many maps that they could port and just give a visual upgrade and everyone would be really happy.

Also just impulse purchased Sekiro because it was on sale which is super rare so welp. Maybe I should get BC Ninja Gaiden 2 as well for maximum pain.

Been waiting forever for TLOU2 multiplayer and now it looks like it's gonna be a BR and they're remaking the first game again and removing multiplayer lol it's like they hate the fanbase. Same happened with Uncharted too. Hyped as heck for Nathan Drake collection until it turned out all the co-op and multiplayer had been removed like I know their multiplayer team had sex pests and abusers but they could have replaced them rather than stripping all that content from the games because the multiplayer was great.

AC : Origins is not bad, but it's exactly the same game as Odyssey or Valhalla, apart from the setting. It's a perfect game pass game.

they did good post release support for tennis aces but not as well for golf which is weird because I'd have figured golf was a more popular title

New Armored Core game is gonna be amazing (I wonder if it will be revealed at Tokyo Game Show this year?) but I'm curious if Elden Ring will get any DLC ever since there were rumors of it being announced recently but none of the shows had it.

It's incredible and the only real "next-gen" thing currently on consoles. Very hyped on all the new planes and copters coming. I genuinely do not understand/pity people who can't get at least some enjoyment out of it. Also this post reminded me of a real bad post I saw-

univbee posted:

Forza Horizon 5, Gears 5, Sea of Thieves, Halo Infinite and Microsoft Flight Simulator all have a pretty heavy emphasis on online components with most having a microtransaction/gacha component to them.

Forza horizon gives you so many cars and in game currency 99% of people will just have millions sitting around and a half full garage in a few days after just drifting and crashing into cactuses. SOT also is very generous and the only poo poo you can buy is cosmetic and very easy to get free. Flight Sim gives all the world updates away for free and after the huge starting plane line up continues to give away badass planes for free. The DLC is for turbonerds with 3k flight stick setups and it's like modeled airports in east Austria and planes you've never heard of. The point being is you chose a bunch of awful examples, in fact you chose games that are using GAAS in an excellent way by providing the vast majority of the player base continuous awesome updates for free. I don't think you know what Gacha means.

There aren't any microtransactions in horizon 5. I have the game on game pass and bought the dlc bundle for 45 dollars. That gives you everything. I guess there is the 2 dollar map thing you can get that shows the bonus boards.

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

I'm pretty sure some ex-Naughty Dog person talked about how a good chunk of the people who have the experience to actually run a studio have been burned and moved on to somewhere they don't get paid like poo poo

I'm sure there's a fresh crop of project managers being nurtured though...

Flight Sim is amazingly fun and I like just flying around over areas I’m already familiar with and seeing how different the map is with regards to where it sticks buildings.

Also there is an aircraft that is like one of those octocopter drone things and it is super fun.

My favourite is the ICON A5 amphibious one I can just land wherever.
