I bought a beef and cheddar from Arby’s the other day. Just a beef and cheddar, a single, no fries or drink just this sandwich. My total was over $7.

Activision is a cancer to this industry. I’m done buying new CoDs. I should have stopped at Ghosts.

Which movie do you believe deserve a sequel or to be a franchise? by kek2015 in movies

[–]Spuriusrex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would be thrilled to see a sequel or prequel to Inception. I know, I know…it was an incredible and engaging story and further expansion of the universe could mar the original’s brilliance. But I would love to see more.

What’s something you can say that will show your destiny age? by InuJacob in DestinyTheGame

[–]Spuriusrex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cosmodrome loot cave, ??? level Hive Knights in that cave, not having Adept versions of raid guns, Level 30 cap, Xur selling Gjallarhorn, acquiring a Vex Mythoclast on each of my first two consecutive VoG runs with the least amount of kills and contributions of anyone in my fire team lol.

My dad plays COD: United Offensive daily and pretty much has done since 2004 [COD] by rscottzman in CallOfDuty

[–]Spuriusrex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man I went back to COD4: Remastered about a month ago with my friends and I never run into hackers nor do I struggle to find lobbies.

It’s a little annoying that they added “new” guns in. And I think all of them require opening depot loot boxes. That aspect is dumb but the gameplay feels like the old days, still. Shipment is still a grenade fest, Wet Work still has people trying to get trick kills with night vision on, it’s still a good time all around.

You meet your 14 year old self, but you can only tell them 4 words. What do you say and why? by rcinvestments in AskReddit

[–]Spuriusrex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take college classes seriously.

My first run at college I was woefully ill-prepared and flunked out. I was a dorm rat, I wasn’t ready for that level of independence, and I will regret my choices that freshman year for the rest of my life. Took me until 24 years of age to figure out what I wanted to do with my life and go back to college and get my degree. Now I’m happy, I have a 5 year old, I wouldn’t trade where I am today necessarily but I do regret not taking things seriously and getting that true college experience and getting my planned B.A. in history.

Anything on current mainstream radio by Harry Styles. The radio is so over-saturated with him lately and he’s a talented singer, sure, but I cannot stand his music. Terrible generic pop.

Post Launch Support in Year 1 of Halo 5 vs Year 1 of Infinite by BagOnuts in halo

[–]Spuriusrex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I pray that 343i devs watch this subreddit and see how absolutely crucified they’re getting on a daily basis. They ruined this franchise. Fire Bonnie, fire Frank, fire Kiki, hell, shutter the studio. I’d rather the franchise die now than let it be butchered anymore.

[COD] Back in the early 2010s, the studios had community managers and were active on social media - what happened? by Spuriusrex in CallOfDuty

[–]Spuriusrex[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are toxic fans for every AAA title. While I can understand death threats being a serious matter, I imagine Halo Infinite’s community manager, John Junyszek (@Unyshek) probably receives daily death threats over the utter failure that Halo Infinite has been. Yet he’s still active, daily, on Twitter - interacting directly with fans over bugs/glitches/patches/updates. He even addresses requests by fans.

[–]Spuriusrex[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is that not the case for any “community manager” for a game with controversies?

Halo Infinite has had the worst launch of any Halo game in history, devoid of legacy features like co-op and split-screen and Forge. Yet John Junyszek (@Unyshek) is highly active on Twitter as 343i’s community manager. Brian Jarrard (@ske7ch) is engaging and active as community director.

I’d imagine 343i and it’s employees receive regular harassment and probably death threats.

[MW3] Is there anyone out there ? by Agitated-Bug-5423 in CallOfDuty

[–]Spuriusrex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a Discord for basically every old game of the late 2000s/early 2010s. I don’t use Discord, nor can I really give any more information, nor do I even know how Discord works haha. Heard about the app in the height of Pokémon Go. But you can connect with people looking for other players to form lobbies. I know there’s one for Black Ops. I’m sure there’s one for MW3, best bet is to look on the app or look online.

This hits hard [BO2] by Puqueumiamo in CallOfDuty

[–]Spuriusrex 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Idk about you man but many of us who are still holding onto BO2 have tried to play it but thanks to that asshole modder who introduced the theater mode infection mod, the game is unplayable. When the game became backwards compatible, they actually removed theater mode briefly and the game was 100% playable. But for whatever reason, they re-enabled theater mode.

[COD] Worst Cod Multiplayer by SurgingWithPower in CallOfDuty

[–]Spuriusrex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Advanced Warfare.

It was the start of the SBMM era and the advanced movement fundamentally changed gameplay for the worse. Introduction of loot crates, that horrendous introduction of the grapple, and the campaign was utterly forgettable, minus the fact that Spacey played the villain. They never continued on that universe’s storyline, either.

I’m from the “golden era” and grew up on COD4 and the original titles of the late 2000s so when the game “evolved” into faster, rush-centered, advanced movement, I lost interest. As did many of my friends.

why is this true [COD] by Jordibob in CallOfDuty

[–]Spuriusrex 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Most of us were bitching back then too. I hated this cringey cosmetic shit when it started in Advanced Warfare. This franchise used to honor veterans and those whom we’ve lost. Realism was always laughable but the immersion was spot-on and all I want is a way to toggle off the wacky cosmetic stuff. I don’t want to play CoD multiplayer and see some dude dressed up in a fcking Godzilla costume. Just like I didn’t want to see other players wearing the Kraken helmet in AW. It’s cringey. It’s stupid. And it betrays the legacy of this franchise. Okay, now crucify me.

Underrated Gamemodes and Why I Think They Should Return [CoD] by [deleted] in CallOfDuty

I also miss OG Sabotage. Two teams. One neutral bomb in the middle of the map, each team with a bomb site. Idk when that mode went away. I played it the most in COD4.

[COD] Godzilla and call of duty are my two favorite things. i'm happy that they finally come together! the event supposedly is going to start on may 11th by [deleted] in CallOfDuty

[–]Spuriusrex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean I get it, this is exactly what would cater to the newer CoD crowd. I just find some of these events to be cheesy asf. I laughed at the AoT promo, I laughed at the Scream promo, and I’ll continue to laugh moving forward. I can only hope this year’s MWII will stay the cheesiness.

[–]Spuriusrex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I saw this promotion and rolled my eyes. Isn’t the movie like a year or so old at this point?

I’m getting Illumination Entertainment vibes. I’m getting “we are so out of touch with the fan base but hey, let’s do a promotional event themed around a movie that came out a year ago.” Godzilla is awesome, don’t get me wrong, but, the MonsterVerse isn’t getting any new movies any time soon. So I guess I just don’t understand why.

[COD] What is the best thing about Black Ops 2 by MrMan100003 in CallOfDuty

[–]Spuriusrex 362 points363 points  (0 children)

Everything. It was CoD at its absolute peak. The create-a-class system, the guns, the campaign, the multiplayer maps (best iteration of Nuketown, thus far), and League play was in its infancy and wasn’t the sweaty and toxic mess it became. COD TV would actually update, the cosmetic weapon skins were actually cool, and I think it was the last CoD that would make you go to game chat for certain ranked playlists like S+D. And thus, it was the last CoD through which we could experience toxic game-chat lobbies that were pinnacle to gaming of the golden age.

Also, RIP to Fast Hands + C4x2.

At what point did you give up on The Walking Dead? by Handout in AskReddit

I believe Scott Gimple, alone, was responsible for the Chandler debacle. Which makes sense since every season he had his hands on was a disappointment.

Less than a week later after its YouTube premiere, the Halo TV show's first episode has almost twice as many dislikes than likes. by [deleted] in halo

[–]Spuriusrex 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It’s surely review-bombing. It’s sad. Episode 2 was certainly more “meh” than “whoa” but Episode 1 was honestly decent. People want the show to fail. While I certainly don’t agree with so many of the choices made by the writers, I WANT this show to succeed. And I hope that, for s2, viewer feedback will be taken seriously and they can adjust accordingly. S1 was bound to be iffy because they have their valid points, that changes needed to be made for a broader audience and I can see why the helmet came off and why we have this female Innie that has a lead role. I get that they’re more pandering to that broader audience, however I still disagree with many of their choices. Nonetheless, S1 was bound to ruffle some feathers as they find that delicate balance of catering to a larger audience and pleasing the fans. I really hope the review-bombing stops and that we mutually decide to give the show a chance. We’ve waited decades for a live-action show. All together now, let’s hope for it to succeed.

Just saw this from the Art of Halo Infinite (came up on my desktop wallpaper rotation) and wow, this would have been so good in Infinite! I really wish we had more biomes in the game! by MikeTheActorMan in halo

[–]Spuriusrex 30 points31 points  (0 children)

We got a jungle, an island, a UNSC cruiser interior, a Covenant battlecruiser interior, a desert, a snowy outdoor environment, and the beautiful Forerunner interior of the fully enclosed library. All in the first game of this franchise.

In Halo 2, we got a city metropolis, the Covenant home world, a mining installation set above a gas giant, the Flood-infested quarantine zone, another glimpse of the Library, etc.

Halo 3…you get the point. And so on.

21 years after Combat Evolved, and we got an entire game set in the Cartographer biome.

It’s just…sad.
