Since when are we supposed to take anything seriously here especially when it comes from proven clowns like you?
Looking at the part where he called in a vehicle made me think the same. Halo without coop is fucked up
Drop that mic you fuckin monster.
Definitely a big step up from the previous showing in terms of visuals, but it's far from the home run I think it needed to be, at least for me.
Before I explain why I think that, I really just have to say: the folks here posting down-sampled, low quality, bit-rate-fucked compressed-to-hell-and-back YouTube screen grabs to make their "points" about visuals are just... sad. Desperately trying to keep the console war fires burning by finding the next Craig meme to spam out of context in every thread the word 'Halo' appears in. A lot of my complaints about the visuals from the original showing are basically all addressed. Check my post history if you need to: I haven't been kind to 343i, and I don't give them the benefit of the doubt - they're incompetent until they prove otherwise. But, they've worked hard to fix their stupidity and it shows. Credit where it's due: if Infinite had of been shown off originally looking like it does in this video, it wouldn't have been delayed, and no one would complain.
Anyway. The things that I'm seeing that are holding me back from being fully excited are:
For me, given 343i's track record, they do not get the benefit of the doubt on any of my concerns, and I'll need player reviews and hands on to tell me otherwise. OG Halo worked so darn well because of its incredible pacing; sandbox moments, that moved into scripted moments, that moved into story moments. And every piece of it was industry leading. Always moving forward, always on mission, always amazing. If Halo Infinite has decided that "Clear 3 Banished Outposts", "Kill 5 Brute Chieftans" and "Active the Relay Tower" are the next big evolution for Halo... then Halo is now just a lesser quality Far Cry with a bigger brand name.
- We've still only seen a single biome for the campaign. Sorry, but we're close enough to launch, and this concern has been echoed enough. I needed an assurance that Halo Infinite was not an entire game built around variations of one environment.
- Halo Infinite seems to have adopted the least interesting part of Ubisoft's design: repetitive busy work. And 343i clearly aren't as good as Ubisoft's best, so I doubt they're the ones to finally make it interesting.
- Destiny-style health bars doesn't bode well for a game billing itself as a "ten year platform". See above note about repetitive busy work.
- The pilot feels like an annoying "I want to go home, I don't to continue this adventure! Stop having fun!" character that grates on my nerves. The Weapon feels like an annoying "Gee wizz, Mr Chief, you must've blown up their favourite tank - the bad guys sure are angry! ^_^" character that I can stomach for about negative five seconds. If these are our primary secondary characters, 343i are close to the crimes against humanity that was vanilla Destiny 2's dialogue and character writing. And this is supposed to be the longest Halo...
Multiplayer is pitch perfect, no argument there. But, campaign feels off note. I really do hope I'm wrong, and 343i have delivered the Halo they desperately needed to.
by comparing halo to Ratchet you just rose Ratchet price to 150$. congratulations, you are real PS PR person!
That's a weird comment to make. Why wouldn't this be $60?
No one reads the Halo blog, man.
I'm considering trading in my dual monitors for this beast, Halo might just give me the excuse to claim it on business -
Did you ever think of going into advertising?
It better have rain otherwise your coat will go to waste.
Maybe just more collaboration between first party studios to utilize their talents.
Did you ever think of going into advertising?
Just got through watching that 2018 trailer and this current trailer feels or seems to look nothing like that game. The only thing that seems to be similar is that master chief is in it and you have one type of tree. Are you trolling? All you said was their is a cave, body of water, gear, and equipment in the world map. I mean I would hope those things would be in an open world halo game. That trailer was simply an in engine cut scene to hype folks up for halo and should be for the most part be ignored since it would just create disappointment.
Bungie screwed marty over
I don't remember 343 hiring him back or even defending him. Isn't 343 made up on Bungie people who were afraid to leave MS?
For some reason Sony fans enjoy calling anyone who likes an Xbox game or product advertisers for that product. It's pretty odd but they keep doing it. Oh well I agree the game looks fun and appealing to people who were never Halo fans but keep the long standing fans would be the ultimate recipe for success. I'm really looking forward to the reviews.
I look forward to playing it especially via Gamepass.
I don’t get it, but learned not to get sucked in. A shame they are still allowed to ruin discussion with their pointless low effort nonsense, but it’s an overwhelming task to control for the mods.
Only a portion of it is, most of the staff is made up of new people, they discussed that in a vidoc ages ago with halo 4’s release. Most bungie people stayed with bungie.
I'm surprised. It's looking much better.
The year delay made a difference atleast.
More like lowered it to a cheap knock off. R&CRA won't see a quarter of the hours that will be played in HI!
Haters and PS fanboys will bash it regardless. It will happen with every Xbox games. These man childs do nothing but look for silly reasons to bash Xbox games. Truly pathetic.
