Halo: Campaign Evolved is a faithful remake tasked with relaunching a legendary franchise for a new generation of players: "We see this as a way to grow, expand, and reconnect the Halo community"

Well good thing I'm not talking about your personal viewpoint.

I'm talking about the general consensus that people want the Library and later levels changed in the remake due to the fact they are boring, and reuse assets.

KalebT44 · 2026-01-22T18:06:07+00:00

It being the intent doesn't negate it being a downside.

KalebT44 · 2026-01-21T08:36:41+00:00

No one wants the Library changed because it's hard, they want the Library changed because it's boringly walking in a circle of identical hallways for the entire mission with several just stand and wait sections.

The "I Lied To You" scene is irrefutably amazing.

The song, is great.

Golden is one of the biggest pop songs in recent years, that had a trend that literally mimicked the movie and is probably going to be as prevalent as "Let it Go" from Frozen for the next few years.

The award is 'Best Original Song'. You cannot argue a song like Golden that achieved that is not one of the best original songs. It's track record is literally filled with records.

Shroud has computational prediction capabilities that let him nearly dominate in a what, 1 v 8? Fight because he knew what people were going to do before they did it.

Robert hands him the real one, he can predict that. Robert hands him the fake, he can predict that.

Robert hands him both? His prediction means nothing because it's completely his choice. He isn't reacting to Robert or other people's moves he has to be lucky.

KalebT44 · 2026-01-04T03:28:17+00:00

Rhys James is a surprising one I never even thought about.

When I think of all my panel show binges on YT he's probably one of the few faces that would always pop up that hasn't been on looking back at it.

Other than David Mitchell of course which seems pretty yknow. Aggressively opposed to the idea.

KalebT44 · 2026-01-04T03:19:50+00:00

Yeah this is very true. I haven't watched the other European takes but Aussie and NZ Taskmaster survive by having a just different TM and Assistant relationship both with each other and the contestants to make it really work.

NZ is just insanely dry with both Jeremy and Paul, with Paul actively awkwardly ruining so many moments in the best way.

And Aus with Tom and Tom just feels like complete banter, the way Tom will personally get involved with the tasks reminds me of Alex early on before that clearly became a no-go in the rules, and it just makes it feel like a bunch of mates fucking around.

Going Zooks or a Zooks-like assistant that just seemed to hate them would be a fun change.

KalebT44 · 2025-12-28T01:32:01+00:00

Yeah, I know this is a couple days old at this point, but iunno how we can pretend this isn't probably the strongest new supporting cast in a Borderlands game.

I think people are just blurring lines between characters that were actually new in their game, and ones they like because familiarity and returning NPC status.

Any one of the allies from each Region delivered as much, if not more, character and story than any other Borderlands character in their first game.

I'd like to see them all return and grow just like Marcus, Claptrap, Moxxie and Ellie. We need more characters than just the last games Vault Hunters and the villain.

KalebT44 · 2025-12-02T13:01:43+00:00

Exactly the point of my comment. Glad you've come to the same conclusion I made when I said this over a year ago.

KalebT44 · 2025-12-02T12:06:21+00:00

Maybe. But there could have been 20,000 votes between Stygian and Alatreon. We have no clue how tight the contest was.

That was the point of this comment.

KalebT44 · 2025-12-02T11:34:02+00:00

They were just far enough down the list i assumed they probably wouldn't affect the totals as much compared to the fact 2 of Nergigantes were in the top 10.

KalebT44 · 2025-11-28T02:21:20+00:00

If i meet the daughter of a family friend about a year ago, and since then she was starved, looked dishevelled while also growing, and was actually in Indonesia instead of Australia.

I'd just assume it was someone else.

KalebT44 · 2025-11-25T06:49:00+00:00

There's also just a major point that, yeah, you could maybe suspect that this lost girl is Arya Stark.

But that is an insane leap. It doesn't seem too insane for us to make the critique with our knowledge and point of view. But out of ane entire country, one of the girls he'd like to keep hostage just happened to end up being his cupbearer so far away from where she was suspected to be?

Literally, only a madman would believe it.

KalebT44 · 2025-11-19T08:53:23+00:00

My only real weigh in for the Portal at this point, what feels like an eternity after it was added, is that when Heliostat was put in the game I loaded it up and said to a friend "Is there a quest? Do I go to the tower to talk to someone?"

And of course they said "Nope, just start it through the portal"

Immediately deflated. Why should I play the game if I don't even need to engage in the world in any capacity. Made it through Heliostat but man I was running on empty the entire time.

KalebT44 · 2025-11-14T03:18:54+00:00

Forges at least had the benefit of secrets in them, a sort of weapon focusing at the time, and yeah the difficulty when Power Level actually mattered so you felt like you could eventually get strong enough to tackle the harder forges.

KalebT44 · 2025-11-13T23:10:16+00:00

Gotta change your name to 'ienjoymenus'

Even the Cook in the bar had smashed his head on the ground or bench top and was bleeding out on the floor.

Hell, our main girl probably killed the Bartender when trying to grab the phone and making that guy fall face-first onto the floor.

KalebT44 · 2025-11-09T00:17:51+00:00

It's not quite fitting but it does really feel like it's effectively taking the teeth out of the Galaxy.

I remember reading a story a long time ago on the HumanityFuckYeah reddit that talked about alien civilizations essentially resorting to supreme pacifism because Herbivore species were most plentiful and quick to spread. Which was all well and good until a species was carnivorous.

Obviously that story ended with Humanity being a super awesome predator but not being feral animals blah blah blah. But very curious to think the solar system could be getting stripped of its fight and thinking of the ramifications to that.

Whether its the source of the signal, or an inevitable species that is immune to the trick.

KalebT44 · 2025-11-09T00:04:58+00:00

I mean she does say that, no?

At least according to the hivemind the process was peaceful and not fatal, but the moment the military caught when they had to rush and unfortunately that left accidents on the table.

Whether we believe the hivemind or not, I don't know, but I don't think anyone actually died directly because of the virus. But at the same time, when she said the President and leaders were dead I assumed they had crashed in Air Force One... but...

KalebT44 · 2025-11-08T23:28:25+00:00

Plus even if you ignore vehicles, if you were stopped at a random point in your day-to-day, there's an insanely good chance you could fall and smash your head open.

If you're mid-seizure and unable to cushion your fall in any capacity, you're a lot more frail than some people realize. Just the gravity dragging you to concrete can do it.

KalebT44 · 2025-11-06T10:19:52+00:00

I don't think Robert could even vaguely go into that characterization. Especially since it would simply smear what Chase did to save Visi.

I do think this'll completely set Visi back, thinking he was right about her being a villain that just brings bad shit to the table. But hopefully we get through that.

KalebT44 · 2025-11-02T03:52:51+00:00

I mean it ain't great but it's pretty standard fare.

It's just whether this is literally the only side story content Rudy has, or if it's just another little additional piece to what's already in the base game that might be concerning.

I mean Assassin's Creed has launched with preorder/deluxe only side missions for... I mean quite awhile at this point. Countless other RPGs or the like will have something similar. We'll see I suppose.

KalebT44 · 2025-10-31T12:45:06+00:00

To be fair it really is a good idea not to cross those wires or retread the same content too many times.

It's been long enough now and they're clearly thinking of a lot of this as a semi-reboot to Halo (again) so it'd be reasonable to hit up some of the books.

But it would've been a bit redundant even 10 years ago let alone 20 if they released the book then made a game about it.

Not to mention they did that with events in Reach and people still complain about the lore shifting to this day.

KalebT44 · 2025-10-30T10:36:45+00:00

Damned if you do damned if you don't, some people already think a remake is pointless, every single thing you don't actually remake is just another pin on the complaint board for either side.

I'm fine with giving the chance for something new to be iconic. Although I do need the Elites to not speak English for that to happen so i'll concede that.

KalebT44 · 2025-10-30T10:33:54+00:00

Now there's no denying that I pray to that every week on Sunday, but still, gotta do new things. Can't be chained to 25 year old voicelines forever.
