This Is Halo Now

You've only played PlayStation games your entire life? Dude I'm so sorry to hear that.

Halo is dead.
But just wait until Gears of War: E-Day shows its gameplay—or shows off all that "woke slop." it's an inverted pyramid that will culminate with Fable being the worst among them.

Mainly yes. But I've owned the following:

- NES
- SNES
- Sega Saturn
- Nintendo Switch
- Nintendo Switch 2


But 95% of the games I've played, have been on playstation consoles. FYI, did you know they also play 3rd party games too.
 
Halo was primarily known for its multiplayer. I can't say I have much desire to revisit the campaign of CE.

The first Halo didn't even have online MP.

The game was celebrated for it's SP campaign. I agree that the SP went downhill after Halo:CE, and it became more about MP then. But the series roots began in a stellar SP that was transformative for the genre on consoles.

Most games at the time didn't. Goldeneye and Mario Kart were also known for their multiplayer, yet the N64 didn't even have online capabilities.

Maybe I heard the wrong discourse, but I played the campaign a few years after it came out (like 2 years later on PC) and it was alright. It was most certainly no Half-Life. I remember it for the split-screen matches or LAN parties
 
the game sure plays like a old fucking game
Shit pathing
Shit controls for warthog
Cringe as fuck dialogue

I honestly don't want to play anymore and at the end of the second mission lol.

It looks alright but it all hangs together with paperclips

It's a 6.5 at best.
Whoever rates this an 8 is fucking high
SP 8
Coop 10

corvette deal with it GIF
 
Sorry if posted already, didn't want to derail the OT either but man... not even 5 mins into the video and it's insane how much of the original's charm is completely absent.




I'm sorry but people who gas up this slop (and yes I said the S-word) deserve all the bad the industry peddels them imo.

Yeah I called it before the game release about a month ago

At first I thought 'Campaign Evolved' was going to be the goods until I looked more into the official published videos and realized it just looked really bad.

The majority of people I know where playing the campaign in split screen co-op I know I did when it launched... Then MP mode kept the gaming otherwise. Campaign was a one and done deal.

The PC version had online PvP. Fun times

eh i mean... some of those complaints are a real stretch to be upset about.. I can drive slightly further out of bounds in the original.

major criticism seems to be audio for me but i also don't know how much this youtuber is "editing" to suit the narrative.

the objective markers are wank though, i hope you can turn them off.
 
I enjoyed the video, thought it was going to be more nitpicking about the aesthetic and sound of the game but the creator of the video brought some valid arguments and concerns. If "Halo Studios" was supposed to be a turning point to get the franchise back on track after 343 Industries fumbling it, and this is all they have to offer then it clearly shows that Microsoft has not learned their lessons or they just simply don't understand what made the original titles so special. It seems like Microsoft still wants Halo to be the next Star Wars. The game even has the Star Wars opening crawl when you start the bonus missions.
