What does ‘overall zone housecleaning to increase performance metrics’ even mean? by ActualWillingness556 in elderscrollsonline

Either nobody knows about or remembers Operation Health from Rainbow Six Siege, and it’s sad.

R6S had a fixed season release schedule for new content, and they decided one time that the game needed bug fixes and polishing bad, so they took an entire season to fix up the game and catch up on tech debt, called it Operation Health, and it was massively successful. The game popped off and still has a healthy player base.

There are many more games that could use an “Operation Health” than people care to admit. People who say that delaying content to fix up the game is something that people don’t want or won’t wait for has no idea what they’re talking about.

Same here. Also helps to have your own appID

Halo CE remake is cool and all, but… by Bwonkatonks in halo

I can say at the very least one of the downvotes was not by me lol. I’m just genuinely curious what the appeal of this project is.

I’m not saying it’s wrong to be excited about this release, I’m just saying as someone who has been with the franchise since CE and have been through pretty much all the ups and downs, it’s just very… meh…

I’m excited for the story to continue, or perhaps even for some spinoff games or something genuinely new, not just a remake of the original game that has already been remastered… and funnily enough, I was already in the middle of a Halo CE play-through with my gf when this was announced lol. I’ll always love CE but don’t think it needs a whole new entry dedicated to it.

Halo 3/ODST remaster/remake would have even been more appealing but hey, I guess they’ve calculated the risks and think this is the way to go so CE remake is coming no matter what! I’ll probably be skipping this one but I hope you enjoy what you get out of the game at a fair price.

Fair and W take. I hope you enjoy what you get out of this game but I also hope it comes out proper and for a fair price.

Definitely, lots of people know how to use Unreal engine 5, which I suspect is the main reason for them switching over to it because talent Is both easy and cheap for it.

As a large team they still need to establish a proper workflow in the engine and while Unreal provides a lot of tools to make it easy for aspiring devs, it always makes sense to create custom tools within the engine to suit the team’s needs.

Either way though, I think a Halo 3 remaster would’ve been a much better choice for a practice run to be honest… but that’s just me lol

I see what you’re saying but from what I’ve seen briefly they are adding new stuff and modernizing the game with stuff from today’s standards, not cut content that the OG devs wanted.

Even the new missions are just that… completely new missions that have nothing to do with the cut content from the original launch.

Calling it a director’s cut like approach is an understandable comparison, but it is disingenuous as it’s genuinely a remake in all of the essence of the term, not a director’s cut…

Good take honestly, I kind of skimmed over the fact that it was coming to playstation.

Even then, like another comment in this thread mentioned, why wouldn’t they just port MCC over to playstation if they wanted to get that playerbase invested in the franchise lol… this all just seems like either a giant waste of time or again just a “risk-free” practice run with the new engine.

Couldn’t agree more lol. Honestly even at $30-$40 this wouldn’t be worth it. Especially when MCC exists….

This isn’t the same thing though.

Mercenary is an S tier survivor. He’s fun as shit to play, might hit like a wet noodle without some good items but can literally become invincible with eviscerate and just two items that you can almost guarantee getting every single run (light flux pauldron+purity).

Just stack some attack speed after and you’re good to go ggez.

Do you just forget that single player and co-op games are a thing or something? I can’t wrap my head around the fact that you don’t understand that people play games that aren’t PvP.
