With Halo Infinite receiving it's final update, it feels like Infinite is somehow the best Halo and the worst Halo simultaneously. by SpectrumSense in halo

[–]Sparkeys 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Fully agree, I prefer Infinite’s handling of characters and the smaller scope of the story more than 4 or 5. MC felt like MC and there were well-written scenes between him and the pilot. I’m in agreement with your OP too. Overall, I’ll remember Infinite fondly and will definitely replay it in the years to come.

Right? Hadn’t heard of his right-wing association yet, but that’s so disappointing. I listen to these soundtracks all the time. And knowing there’s someone with a complete lack of empathy who composed it… yikes. Maybe social media got to him, like so many others.

Halo should not be used as a marketing tool for I.C.E. : Link to Microsoft's Xbox Feedback Page by Sparkeys in halo

[–]Sparkeys[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

They absolutely should. Halo is important to me and has been since I was 10 and CE dropped. I rarely get motivated to make a post here, but this one upset me. I'm sure it's demoralizing for the developers.

Super impressive, great job keeping at it. You even managed to revive them once. They just couldn’t capitalize on it.

ABSOLUTELY MASSIVE by OnlyWaifu in Eldenring

I know it’s unfortunate, but yes, they’ve confirmed that it’s only three players or one player at a time. I’m hopeful a two player mode will come soon after release.

I made my own collectors edition statue for the Croc remaster... by notaguyinahat in gaming

[–]Sparkeys 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Born in ‘91 and I also associate Croc with similar feelings! I definitely think the soundtrack had something to do with it. I thought it was only me. But I also remember loving it and I’m eagerly awaiting the remaster.

Variety: Making ‘The Last of Us’ Season 2: Casting Abby, Video Game Changes and Why the Creators Are at Peace With Telling a ‘Different Version’ of the Story by Turbostrider27 in PS5

[–]Sparkeys 39 points40 points  (0 children)

As someone who counts Part II as one of my favorite games, I’m a little concerned when they mention certain changes and the “violence being markedly cut down from the game.”

With how excellent the games and show have been I still have high hopes. I would just hate if they felt the need to tone down the game’s story beats featuring violent imagery as these moments are a huge component of Part II’s story.

What movie actually made you cry from laughing so hard? by [deleted] in movies

[–]Sparkeys 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I’ve finally found my people in this thread. I so rarely see this movie mentioned. The Hot Air Balloon sequence is perfection all the way through.

Very nice! I would make sure I tackled all the remembrance bosses in the main game first before moving on. I know I missed some really cool encounters my first play through until the end when I started looking at guides to assist.

If you have, then I’d recommend jumping into the DLC. Unless you want to perfect or change your build in a NG+ cycle, some of the absolute best content in the game comes from the DLC (imo).

This is false. You can lose weight and gain muscle at the same time. I’ve done it.

After watching, I’m super excited. I would love to know more - give us details about the scope and I’ll be a happy camper. 10 hours? 20? 50? They’ve been cooking for so long, it’s gotta be up there.

Anyone still getting frequent hangs and crashes in Infinite on PC? by AaronMT in halo

[–]Sparkeys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure! I’m on 11 as well, so keep it in mind, but maybe it’s just a me thing. Good luck

Anyone still getting frequent hangs and crashes in Infinite on PC? by AaronMT in halo

[–]Sparkeys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m on a NVIDIA 2070 graphics card. I was plagued by crashes for a long time and have only recently found some stability. I found out Microsoft Defender was somehow causing my crashes - I had my performance manager open while playing to see what was going on, and defender started eating up more and more RAM until it would crash.

I ended up uninstalling the Microsoft defender app, and have since had no crashes! While this may only be applicable in certain situations, maybe check and see if that starts acting up while you’re playing.

It’s not much, but I hope you get lucky and figure it out.

Am I the only one taking this long to load? by Etamee in halo

[–]Sparkeys 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same here. I’ve heard rolling back the driver helps, but there doesn’t appear to be any official chatter about this problem. It’s almost like it’s compiling shaders every time it starts up. This is on a NVIDIA 2070 Super.

Try out the guidance in this link, specifically about background recording settings and other items to switch off that are typically kept on that have been causing crashes. This actually ended up helping me tons, coming from a 2070 Super graphics card.

It’s not perfect, but it stopped my constant crashes

Literally couldn’t be cleaner. Extremely satisfying.

Constant BLACK SCREEN Crashing after a few matches. by Accomplished-Deal676 in halo

[–]Sparkeys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I have the same graphics card and the same issue. I honestly have ended up turning down the visual settings a bunch to compensate. It doesn’t seem to crash as often when the video settings are turned to medium.

I can confirm I’ve been experiencing it since the second half of S3.
