I would love to see an almost early access style release for AAA games. Not in the sense that you buy a beta though.
Say for example the multiplayer was complete, but they were still working on the campaign. Why not release a digital version of the game containing the multiplayer then release a free update containing the campaign when it's completed?
Because of the massive increase in digital downloads in lieu of physical media.
That said I do agree that a physical release should be feature complete, at least for any mode which doesn't require the Internet.

By Ragnarok Flames Go To PostWhy the hell shouldn't it be on the disc? What is up with people being okay that shit is not on the disc. This wouldn't fly in any other generation but this gen.

I think it has to do with the fact that until halfway through last gen, DLC and downloadable updates weren't huge on consoles.
Forge is bottom tier for what I want to see from a new Halo game lol. I mean, I'm definitely not lessening it's value or level of fun... Because it's both valuable and fun!
Just the least of my concerns. :p

Screwing around with Forge and making cool custom modes and maps is an amazing feature and without it Halo 5's lifespan would be shortened. I think you guys are under-valuing/under-appreciating it because in recent games it hasn't lived up to its potential in terms of the ability to share the content you create.
By Fahzgoolin Go To PostI really want destiny now…oh no. noooooooooo!
Have you played it or the DLC's?

It's almost an entirely new game, given the changes they've made. It looks fantastic.
They've made it much easier to jump into, including a one time character leveling boost. Plus the entire base game gets the reworked quests and missions and new ghost VA and rejiggered stats for armor and weapons. If any time is the time to jump in, it's TTK.

Probably should have taken the week Staycation for MGSV too, don't know how much of that game you can do in a day.
By Fahzgoolin Go To Postis your enjoyment dependent on co op? is solo miserable?
I've played a lot of destiny lol... But the breakdown, I'd say, is 70/30 leaning towards how much coop I've played vs solo. It's been fun either way.
Some stuff you can't do solo (raids, some nightfalls, etc) but the majority of the game is entirely fine for solo play. In TTK, nightfalls aren't as punishing, so that's a boon for solo players as well.
I mean, the game is definitely designed to be played with a friend or two, but it's no less suitable for solo jaunts.

I'll have plenty of time for MGSV. I figured I'll be playing that game here and there for a while anyway. I'm almost done with Dishonored'sDLC- should finish that up today (didn't play the DLC on 360, but it's really great!). Then I'll just play MGSV until The Taken King arrives.
Just a reminder to all that we have a Support and Updates thread here: http://slaent.com/thread/79658/
We also got a slew of new features in the works (Private Messages, redesigned Menu, improved Search), so be on the lookout.
On a sidenote, I've been pretty impressed with how active and a good community everyone here has been. Glad to have you guys on board!

I think as time goes on the idea of "On Disc Feature Complete" will become the exception not the rule. Today we are seeing larger and larger day one updates and I don't see that coming to an end or even slowing in the near future. Game features like Forge which are great and do add a great value to the game, aren’t that great of value to a majority of people unless there is some type of online component in which creations made using forge are able to be dispersed to the masses. So I wouldn’t consider Forge a less important feature if it wasn’t included on the disc, I would just assume they made the call to relegate it to a download because the vast majority of people will want to share their creations online anyway. Those features which are more associated with single player would take precedence on being “On disc” I would think anyway.

By Fahzgoolin Go To PostMP isn't that great of a feature. It has a lot of cool stuff on it, but it shouldn't be on the disc, but rather a free DLC.Yes because your mockery of my post makes any sense at all. Look at which has a wider spectrum of ppl using one feature/or mode versus another and it makes sense. Investing so much time and budget on upping Forge takes away from other more relevant things like perfecting the single player experience or the multiplayer experience. Although Forge is an excellent tool for editing and creating new maps and modes along with the Mod community to do what Devs don't bother to do (Halo 4).. it isn't a vastly important thing needed for retail version. But hey just complain about my post and mock instead of considering the facts.
slaent needs Private Messages the most of all those features. my GAF account hasn't been approved yet so I can't contact these fine folks outside of posting in this thread!

Nah I was asking a legitmate question, wasn't insulting Destiny or its DLC's if you took it that way. I would totally agree to buy the Legendary edition to get the full picture of whats been released so far. Its turning into a great game. I've taken a break for the past month or so, but am giddy to get back into it with TTK.
Question about the elite controller, hopefully Frankie can answer or someone who knows for sure. Will we be able to map different actions to different buttons? For example...
Right now (from footage seen) Ground Pound is linked with melee. Will I be able to unlink Ground Pound from melee and say have melee on "B" and Ground Pound on "Right Bumper"? Or is it tied to melee?

Apparently I "need work," better than the 85% avoided I was before I guess. Or was it 92%? I think it might have gone up.
don't know if everyone knows already, I'm sure I'm LTTP, but there's an official dark theme now and it's awesome!
Amused Nathan Fillion: check.
Concerned Tanaka: check.
Vale in any capacity (best new character imo): check.
Sportin Luck: check.

Stinkles says his reaction in this clip is in regards to him being upgraded from an ODST to a Spartan.
It's probably the baldness, but Locke's got to be the most photogenic dude in the franchise. Buck looks like Shrek in that shot.

@ bolded: Haven't you heard, though? We're all super unruly and require crazy amounts of moderation. We're too much work to keep around.

Oh yeah! Chalk that up to the really dumb part of the 360's system. Your avoided number wasn't a percentage of all players, but only those who bothered to leave any feedback at all (which is usually people avoiding). Pretty sure mine got to the 90% or something too.

9pm for some of us. 3am for those across the pond lol

Also cheers Reilo, this place is awesome.
By Wesleyshark Go To PostThat's the shit part about global stuff. Some group is always going to get shafted hahaTo be fair my sleeping pattern is completely fucked up at the moment. So I'm probably going to be awake for it anyway.
By derpface123 Go To Post9PM? 3AM? Wah? What timezones do you chuckleheads live in?I live in the UK.
It comes out at 7PM PST, 10PM EST.
Oh Damn thought it was 9pm EST. 10pm EST for me then!
Here's some Vale for ya Derp
And some surprise Palmer

I hope Vale's armor is unlockable in multiplayer, it's pretty slick.
Hell, I love Tanaka's armor too. Really communicates the engineer/medic theme with all the piping and tech stuff attached to it.

What's super cool to me is how all of Osiris look exactly like their actors. Vale, Tanaka, and Locke's mo cap actors look identical to their in-game characters. Imagine being the face of a main character in a major AAA videogame.
By derpface123 Go To Post9PM? 3AM? Wah? What timezones do you chuckleheads live in?So 8PM?
It comes out at 7PM PST, 10PM EST.
By J-Twelve Go To PostThat armor looks like Samus to me.
When a senior designer from Retro joins your studio, safe to say he's going to bring a little Metroid with him. :p
