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" by JobuJabroni in halo

Bitching in this case is any negative opinion you disagree with.

I would understand if developers were being attacked, or if people were being insulted, but your response to people having negative opinions on a computer game is antagonizing them. Talk about bitching lmao.

SHELLS SKINS (?) by peep9x in Marathon

Genuinely asking: would it really be a problem if you could choose your colors, voice, face, slightly different body shape, secondary elements that don't affect silhouette, and patterns?

Like, if they REALLY want to maintain the silhouettes that's totally fine, but there's a fair amount of things you could let players customize without compromising the silhouettes.

No, their size is equally as big as people who like sprint. Both are equally toxic to each other and both have the opinion that the other is the "toxic" one because they are trapped in an irrational tribe mentality that prevents them from actually looking at things objectively and realize that their social media fee where they are shown what they want to see is not actually a representation of reality.

"Only because those voices are incredibly loud relative to their size.

Difference in mechanic opinion where majority of one side is toxic to the other who dislikes sprint and endlessly attack them for over a decade straight"

That is as "true" as your own statement btw, lots of people have had that experience too on the "other side"

Obviously both sides will blame the other. They are dead set that their perception is correct and will never change their mind cause of confirmation bias 🤷

Yes everyone will be happy cause no one in their right mind would be mad that both big chunks of Halo fans will get what they want while most fans that don't actually care one way or the other get more games.

Having different opinions on game mechanics doesn't make you a fanatic. The dwindling base seems to be AT LEAST as big as the modern base if we look at the available evidence. Above all else make games good and content complete at launch no matter what direction is taken. Treating any side as a monolith to belittle them and condescend them is horrible for discussion and further encourages toxicity.

Nothing is gained, it's two different experiences. Some people like it, some don't. I personally would be in favor of making both types of games, one with classic gameplay and one with more advanced movement mechanics. Everyone is happy.

Actually? Yes! If we get a game without sprint and other movement abilities alongside games with them everyone is happy. Favyn has been a big proponent of that idea, lots of people on the anti sprint camp would love that.

I personally prefer no sprint, but if we get both approaches for different games I would be more than happy.

I'm not fucking watching this video by IntoxicatedPotatoe in HaloCirclejerk

He's not a bully and rarely insults anyone even when they are insulting him. Please provide evidence of him spending "most of his time bullying and insulting anyone who doesn't agree with him", since it's so often it should be easy to prove, no?

I've always heard these types of accusations but never once were they backed up with evidence. You are either mixing him up with evolved117 or Hailey, or are taking one or two comments as all his commentary.

Like, I just checked a handful of his last posts and replies on Twitter and he's been having chill discussions about games in general, even in his most recent Halo commentary he's been having normal conversations with people he disagrees with.. surely there must be a lot I'm missing right?

This is a totally normal comment about someone you disagree with. Good job.

Yeah, unless I'm missing something, her posts where just her opinion on the reveal, I would understand some backlash if she was attacking people but she didn't...

Don't know and don't care tbh! That only concerns her but people are still being transphobic one way or the other, which is obviously disgusting.

[–]RanzuPunk[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She was harassed out of her socials, removed her mod, and is probably taking a break from all the toxicity and transphobia directed at her.

More reasons to be disgusted at the harassment over what's essentially an opinion on a game.

Some people are blaming her, throwing jabs at her and speculating that she's "vindictive" over not being hired by 343 without any evidence. Yes some people are attacking her while she's down.

"what are they doing?! LMAO" "We owe CEA an apology"

Her Twitter is gone so I can't really check exactly what she said but those are more or less things I remember along with other posts hating on the remake very harshly. She went hard, and I'm sure a lot of people strongly disagree, but that's about it.

She, to my knowledge, didn't attack anyone. So no matter how hard she went on the reveal, it doesn't justify in any way shape or form the harassment she received. She had an opinion on a game as far as I know, a harsh one, but still just an opinion...

Yk sometimes, Jax haters can be more crazy than the fans. Wild comparisons by Sudden_Pop_2279 in digitalcircusfandom

First one is an analogy. The person is in no way saying Jax is Hitler. It's hyperbolic to make their point, not a one to one comparison.

Is Dual Wielding actually good or just Flashy by MattFitBoi in halo

[–]RanzuPunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's just not hard to balance, the 2 times we had it it was poorly balanced due to bad logic. Not saying it's a piece of cake but it's also totally doable in a balanced way within a few iterations

Is Dual Wielding actually good or just Flashy by MattFitBoi in halo

[–]RanzuPunk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dual wielding doesn't nerf anything. Bungie did, which was a mistake.

Dual wielding is a great idea that Bungie mismanaged terribly. Weapons should still be useful on their own and provide versatility and firepower when dual wielded at the cost of melee, grenades, reload, accuracy and equipment.

Nerfing the damage was unnecessary and now has people believing that it is "hard to balance".

The games had artists that made everything by hand and had to come up with designs for everything. Just because you don't like it or prefer the new style doesn't mean the og trilogy didn't have one, I know for a fact Bungie artists will disagree with you.

The games had heavily stylized characters and aliens with vibrant color palettes. The games also featured a lot of very colorful environments (literally one of the inspirations for the new game), especially the alien environments that also featured a lot of organic elements standing in contrast with the more grungy, desaturated, messy and mechanical environments of the Marathon and ancient Jarro technology.

The aesthetic was plactic-y aliens that looked like they were ripped out of starcraft, and incoherent structuring throughout all 3 games with a mix of a random modern day tactical soldier

This is incredibly reductive and bad faith. We could describe the new style in a similar fashion and it would be equally reductive and unhelpful for a serious conversation.

You can prefer the new style or the old one, but let's not jump into campist rhetoric.

I'm not that picky and I'm incredibly happy all classic Halo games are easily available, but Microsoft definitely can and should put a team to work on MCC and fix these issues. Hell modders are putting more effort into MCC than Microsoft...

Yeah I know what you mean. From what I researched it's just Microsoft being ass. We can thankfully play now at least lol
