for shooters i'm reluctantly retired. like a no more dunking joe johnson tbh
By reilo Go To PostExcited for Doom on SwitchI mean, at least Doom is a genuinely great game. Wouldn’t touch the Switch version with a barge pole tho.
Thinks GoW will be trash
Nintendo boyzzzz

You mean you weren't excited to see the logo of a half decade+ old game built with 512MB machines in mind, appear on the switch 3rd party list?
I'm just here to tell you the good word about Halo, friends.
Halo 2 Anniversary in 4K and Halo 6 in 2018. What a time.

They're fixing MCC and enhancing it for the X. Fixing MCC is a year effort in itself.

Smash is enh to me as a fighter, but there's no denying it's got a pretty high skill level at the top. It's not about execution since the moves are so simple, but hyper-quick reads across a larger play area. I'm not going to argue it's on a VF/ Tekken level, but it's not just the dumb kids' birthday party game I used to think it was.
Nintendo doesn't put up prize money for stuff. I think the Arms players at Evo Japan are basically playing for free.
By W Go To PostJust went to look and the highest prize money at any Smash event was $83k? Lmao yeah, that is a competitive game by the weakest of standards, in the same way that the cookie game is.

By HottestVapes Go To PostShit’s fun, can’t complain.Skyrim is the opposite of fun. Never played a game that fucking tedious before.

By Smokey Go To PostI don't think Halo 6 is coming in 2018 tbh343 isn't doing the MCC X patch themselves and Halo always has a three year cycle, so I'd be pretty surprised if it's not this year. Plus, that's something that I see as a stepping stone towards 6. Rebuild the good will, get the people back that were burned by 4 and MCC, show them Microsoft still cares about the series enough to fix their broken four year old game.

I think they'll do a reveal, beta, and release in the same year. I don't think they can do another holiday with just a Forza game to sell their box, either. (Even if the Horizon games are stellar.)
By W Go To PostMy friend who worked on The Order is working on this new GoW. He told me it's going to be amazing, just like he said about the order.
I'm that guy who mostly liked The Order. Still in the running for best looking game this gen, that zeppelin scene. I just hope it's written by someone whose writerly credentials go beyond "watched The Dark Knight like, four times bro."

It's not even on the list of the top 10 000 most tedious CRPGs. Brown Dungeon Mapper II: Spreadsheet of the Ascii Art Wizard awaits you.
halo 6 is coming
question is will they innovate or just add more maps and a new trash campaign to an admittedly stellar MP

all i wanted to do was play MCC online with 4 local players. connected to one game, barely was able to finish it with all the lag and couldn't connect to anything else FOR HOURS AT A TIME. still a huge fuck you to microsoft for releasing that buggy POS game
Naw. 343 knows they gotta deliver with 6. They did with the MP, but the content that's available for 5 was not available at launch for months.
Let Halo 6 try that microtransaction bullshit again after Battlefront and Destiny got clapped up. Woooooooo
If MS don't release Halo 6: Return of the Chief as a cross-gen game to support the release of their next platform they're truly lost. They practically invented that trick with Halo 2's scalability. It's saved Nintendo's bacon with cross-gen Zelda twice. It's really their only chance next time around.
By Smokey Go To PostNaw. 343 knows they gotta deliver with 6. They did with the MP, but the content that's available for 5 was not available at launch for months.Damn, you're right. I forgot that 5 launched without BTB, Forge, Warzone Firefight, etc.
I would accept an early 2019 date if it meant launching with all these features and no more map "remixes." When you promise new maps, you should deliver new fucking maps and not just take an old map and add lava. Map variety is literally the only downside to the multi.
Some things are so good they need to exist in perpetuity. Halo 2 was that kind of game. At some point you're literally trying to make Chess 2--it's a disservice to everyone and quite frankly a waste of time. And Halo is getting to be that way--where it should just be taking the best mechanics that everyone can agree on and the best maps of the series and start selling hats for that shit ala Team Fortress. Update it every five years with new graphics and call it a day.
Being by far their flagship title for Xbox, they should be aiming for something completely different mechanically with 6 imo.

when they did the interview with the lead guy, he started droning on about "so yeeeehhhhh i had a kid so i wanted to put that father/son dynamic in a game because being a parent is soooooo deep and spiritual" or some shit along those lines.
The kid puts me right off. I care less about virtual kids than i do other people's actual real shitty kids. Fuck off with that shit.

They really gotta get the shit right from jump. And Halo isn't answering game. It's either fall 2018 or fall 2019 and somehow tied to next Xbox as cross gen.

They tried something different mechanically with Halo 4 which was absolute horse shit, but would probably be the best fps on Nintendo console. Some aren't happy with the direction 5 went in MP. I am. It's good. Some say they focused to much on esports. Others want BTB as main focus.
There's no pleasing people. They need to pick a direction and fucking stuck with it. Halo 4 was basically call of duty aliens. Shit was a disaster.
By Xpike Go To Posthalo 6 could be the best shooter of all time it still wont move x1s off the shelves
True. That thing is unsellable.
I loved GoW 1 and 2, 3 was aight but 4 looks like trash. Who asked for Uncharted GoW with feels?
Also loved Halo until 4. That series is dead. 343 doesn't have the talent to figure this out.

I think Halo 5 is as far as that kind of gameplay can go. You can *probably* think up some cool new ideas for primary weapons, but it's already being stretched too thin as is. For example you can argue that the Promethean guns are by and large redundant sans the grenades. I would package the Halo 5 mechanics with the very best maps the series has to offer, put it Windows Store and Xbox store (and even Steam personally), and start making cosmetics. I'd put a dedicated live team on it that will fix patches, offer a new map on occasion and some quality of life features, keep the e-sports stuff going, and call it a fucking day. It's done man. It's just done. You can't do anything else with that specific style of gameplay.
It's honestly the same thing with Smash and Mario Kart too, but Nintendo can get away with relaunching because of their lack of a persistent online environment.

I'm sure they're gonna kill the kid too for dramatic effect, the problem is that last time people actually liked a partner was Half-Life 2 and that's because the game was designed really well. Cutscenes of Kratos bonding with the kid will do nothing for the player.
By reilo Go To PostSkyrim is the opposite of fun. Never played a game that fucking tedious before.I generally enjoy tedium in RPGs. I’ve got my complaints about Skyrim on the whole, but I can still enjoy it because I like the exploration side of the game and the music.
It has absolutely awful combat, but I don’t expect DMC4/Bayonetta levels of complexity from an open world RPG.

I will say, the beating 343 took on 4 war games turned into 5 arena. I think the really harsh criticism surrounding the 5 campaign is going to lead to 6 being the complete package. All the collective lessons they've learned in one.

I think it slammed into the wall at Halo 3 tbh. its been downhill ever since.
Bestheda rpgs are really annoying to me because people disregard basic gameplay stuff and QA to excuse those games.
A lot of the faults are deal-breakers and get awful shit from players and press in any other game, but because it's Fallout or TES people don't give a fuck and sweep all those criticism under 'well the player can do anything an the world is huge'
even 4 was not good, it's just that the cortana/chief angle was well done

Fam, I could write essay for each Beth RPG on all the things they’ve done poorly over the years.
From the badly scripted quests that can be broken far too easily, to the bad writing and voice acting, the awful combat and the amount of game breaking glitches.
Yet despite, that I’ll still play and enjoy them.
bethesda rpgs are fun modding platforms for about 20 hours
but even with that it's just a small bandage on a gaping puss-filled wound

I hope Kratos finds out it isn't his kid and he still has to pay child support.
Every scene after will be him seething with rage at every little thing this little fucking shit whines about. At least we could laugh at it.

The exploration side of it mainly. It’s one thing that Bethesda do get right, their overall world design is very good.
That and there’s no other game in the same genre like it that as good or better than it.
By that I mean first person open world RPGs with character creation.
The Witcher 3 by all rights is a much better game that anything Bethesda has put out, so is Dragon’s Dogma, and Dark Souls 1. None of them tick all the same boxes though. Bethesda RPGs just fill a very particular niche that more talented developers haven’t tapped into yet.
If by some magic, a game came out that had the combat and character creation of Dragon’s Dogma, a world on par with the Witcher 3, and the RPG system of Dark Souls, but played out from the first person perspective and had mod support and an active modding scene too. It’d tick all the boxes and I’d never play another Bethesda RPG.
Just finished Steamworld Dig 2.
Much better than the predecessor which I found dull after an hour of playtime. Enjoyed the story and the metroidvania aspects of the game.
