SO halo work now or what? Havent even tried to play it in over a week. One of my boys just bought a one so he wants me to play. And I finally got to lvl 30 on Destiny last night so I can halo it up until the DLC drops

Its better, search times are much quicker, parties dont break up after the post game, you never get stuck in the post game, etc etc. I havent run into a team split either but idk if thats a coincidence now, but its tolerable. There are still uneven teams, but it happens less frequently because now parties can lock in at 8 instead of waiting for 10 but its not 100%

JRpgs is a smart move, that was a big reason few of my boys was PS heads. I wont be playing them lol but thats a good market to cater to.

They said the next update will deal with the uneven teams.

Yeah I saw that tweet.

I was on Neighbors Twitch yesterday too, and they're gonna be fixing the H3 movement and aiming issues too, which aside from all the things wrong with CE, is the biggest gameplay issue in any of the games, I can not wait for that one.

The Halo 5 Guardians Beta will be 10.27 GB for anyone who cares.

Y'all broke the **** out of MCC and think ibcare for h5 **** you 343

 

[shottadru]

If you really wanted to showed you cared, why not delay the beta until you fixed the product we paid for already?

The best thing that could happen to the gaming industry for the consumer is if we stopped pre-ordering.

Publishers are hitting their profit margins before the game even comes out (and thats with no real benefit to the consumer... Any $$$ after that is just icing on the cake.

There was a time when pre-ordering certain HUGE releases was almost necessary cuz your favorite store might run out of stock on the day of release.

Those days are long gone.

Game publishers are no longer incentivised by the consumer to ship a fully functional, polished, and smooth gaming experience at the launch because the profits have already been made.

Sad state of gaming...

which is why i think we're going to start seeing more and more indy games become successful... developers who ship their own game are generally extremely passionate AND up front with their user base.

Wouldn't surprise me if we saw indy developers start capitalizing on the failures of huge publishers and start advertising "Releases with all features", "No weekly updates needed", or something actually clever..

This dude went off regarding this subject. Everything he said was realness. It was the exact point you just made

cuz they can't actually act on what they may or may not care about... they march to the orders of M$, not the consumer.

Consumer doesn't write the checks, M$ does.

[djyoung08]

Its good aiming wise, but off host you still have to lead the pistol a crazy amount. It'll always be funny until they put the dedicated servers back up, HCE off host is 

, I'm still having fun with it though. I never got to play CE against people often and understand it the least out of all of them. Basically a new game

 

[shottadru]

WOW I didn't realize IGN is scum, i mean we knew that but they had a whole month with Halo, exclusive content yadda yadda and just never discussed the game being broken. Money talks

 

[lamekilla]

Ign has been sketchy since 07/08.

Gamespot's reviews >

 

[djyoung08]

Metacritic.com is my go to

get a much more broad perspective imo

 

[shottadru]

I generally check the majors if I need a review I liked IGN because it posted other content, I could read about shows movies and other ish 1 site at times. Their ads are annoying tho.
