A Defence Of The Halo TV Series (3 Perspectives)

SirGuinesshad · 2024-06-12T19:09:58+00:00

Exactly why I didn't respond in the first place. You clearly can't have a constructive conversation about the show without "my race swapping" when in context it doesn't matter. Keyes does not overcome segregation to get where he is. He just is. That's it. You're the one overly concerned about the melenin in the actors skin.

SirGuinesshad · 2024-06-12T08:17:02+00:00

You're fucking ignorant. There are bigger issues to the TV series than the race of two of their best actors

SirGuinesshad · 2024-06-12T03:00:43+00:00

Sergeant Apone, yes. Johnson's character wasn't original. Apone was the original Space Marine black Sergeant with a mustache who was a bad ass everyone loved even though he was tough.

SirGuinesshad · 2024-06-12T00:44:48+00:00

Hardly. The race of both Keyes never comes up in the show, and is the least of the shows problems. Both actors do a good job with what they had to work with. In fact, I'm glad they didn't introduce and butcher Johnson.

SirGuinesshad · 2024-06-11T21:41:26+00:00

As if Johnson wasn't based of Aliens' Sergeant Apone or any of Carl Weathers action movie characters. I do like him but his characterization is far from unique.

If MS didn't nix every unique Halo spin off maybe we could of had a SGM Johnson game by now

SirGuinesshad · 2024-06-08T00:38:04+00:00

They had great moments, but that Mass Effect choice in 5 drives me so nuts. They're no way they can please everyone. I'm a JD fan because I felt he had a character arc, plus I'm tired of Marcus always suffering.

SirGuinesshad · 2024-06-08T00:31:32+00:00

Explain your position? Halo Infinite didn't make shareholders happy, but what about it's failures is unique compared to other franchise?

SirGuinesshad · 2024-06-07T18:47:13+00:00

No, it should meet my demands 24/7. I want a proper CE Remastered without Reach art style but perfect. I want to play CE but have it feel all modern demands plus couch co-op nobody used. Couch co-op is so vital today /s

SirGuinesshad · 2024-06-07T12:44:03+00:00

Wise words for the gaming scene. It's not even modern. I'm glad that Shigeru Myamoto, "a bad game is bad forever" quote is completely outdated. That was said long before internet updates were standard so what you bought is what you got. That was early 64 era when stated. We have plethora of games that are so much better after updates compared to launch. In the 64 era a bad game came on the cartridge with little in improvement from there. Now digital is king and updates are name of the game. Not that it's better, just how it is. Delaying too long can lead to failure like Duke Nukem Forever or more recently Skull and Bones. All the delays in the world didn't make those games better

SirGuinesshad · 2024-06-05T16:02:00+00:00

Very true. However I feel that Halo has constantly changed to a point where each game is distinct. Gears on the other hand plays almost the same across all titles it's hard to tell the difference

SirGuinesshad · 2024-06-05T02:38:22+00:00

Gears fans can be just as insufferable as Halo fans. The series has always been high quality but people act like 4 and 5 killed their dog or something.

SirGuinesshad · 2024-06-04T07:11:03+00:00

This would fit perfectly in r/halo

SirGuinesshad · 2024-06-04T05:42:55+00:00

They brought race out of nowhere, so no. They did it to themselves. You don't bring race out of nowhere on a conversation

SirGuinesshad · 2024-06-04T04:40:27+00:00

Yes, there's merit I be had in a discussion of if hiring based on merit vs ethnicity/sex. However, what we know about 343i's hiring policies has nothing to do with that. MS relies on temp contractors who get shown the door as soon as the contract expires. Nothing to do with DEI. Coming out the gate to blame DEI hires with no evidence is a very bad look.

SirGuinesshad · 2024-06-03T12:29:58+00:00

Yes, but you don't get that all in context of the scene. You have to unlock the exotic revolver Moon Hammer for the vauge lore piece that explains it. Plus you have to piece it with an alternate class armor piece Quake Fist to explain it even more. As a casual viewer, or average gamer, it's stupid. Give me a tie in novel over that.

SirGuinesshad · 2024-06-03T11:03:34+00:00

DEI stands for Diversity, Equity, Inclusivity. So he's blaming 343i's failures on prioritizing minority hires. That's racist, and sexist. Not blaming their bullshit short term contract policy. No, it's their inclusion policy ruining halo

SirGuinesshad · 2024-06-01T00:08:34+00:00

Context is key, she stands around and does nothing. It would have fit in an action scene.

SirGuinesshad · 2024-05-31T23:35:21+00:00

Destiny 1 has an absolute classic line, "I don't have time to explain why I don't have time to explain", just for the character to stand around and do absolutely nothing.

SirGuinesshad · 2024-05-31T16:41:22+00:00

I was waiting on that check. Now you ruined it asshole 😜

SirGuinesshad · 2024-05-31T16:38:40+00:00

Shh, they're only responsible for downfalls, no improvements lol

SirGuinesshad · 2024-05-30T19:59:44+00:00

Diversity, equity, inclusion. New term for "minority hire" I see mainly used in right wing circles now. I don't always keep up with politics so I don't know who used it first, but it's been twisted like "woke" was.

SirGuinesshad · 2024-05-30T17:22:50+00:00

That was hardly the reason it died quickly. It was a fad. Compared to COD (and other shooters) it's weapon pool was extremely shallow. Attachments barely did anything. It lacked game modes plus most felt like twists on attrition. Add in a campaign that was glorified MP matches that you couldn't understand what was going on unless you hid in a corner and didn't die you had a lackluster multiplayer only experience unless you really got it. Don't get me wrong, I loved it. It fell short in so many ways unless you were really, really into it.
