All MS want to produce are sequels to their tired franchises. Does anyone even buy Halo anymore?

[–] cyborganism@lemmy.ca 3 points 6 months ago (17 children)

Halo wasn't even all that great to be honest. It was popular because it was an accessible, easy to play FPS on a console during a time when those types of games were mostly played on PC.

That's certainly one of the takes of all time.

Mine personally is that all past Reach were garbage, I'll never forgive what 4 did to the lore, humanity being around and a spacefaring race back when the forerunners were was fucking stupid

What if I told you that 343 didn't make that decision. Ever wonder why Guilty Spark called Master Chief reclaimer? Though I agree with your point, 4 was the last halo game I bought.

[–] Kedly@lemm.ee 1 points 6 months ago

All of the lore snippets we got before 4 kind of hinted that Humanity was chosen as the next tech bearer because they were on the verge of a sentience level that the rings would exterminate, but not fully there yet, the fact that the forerunners would choose to pass the mantle on to a race they were actively at war with INSTEAD OF SAVING THEIR OWN RACE, is BEYOND stupid

I have a similar bad take as OP about Goldeneye 64 tbh

[–] ramirezmike@programming.dev 2 points 6 months ago

goldeneye 64 was pretty innovative even compared to its pc competition at the time. It suffered from performance issues, but the xbla remake or just good emulator settings fix that and really make it shine
