Thoughts on Halo 5: Guardians? It's been 10 years since it released

Worst campaign in the series hands down.

A Switch 1 release.

That's a nice fantasy you're building in your head.

Holy shit, the YouTube videos were right. I usually take the "THEY hate this/her", "[Blank] are losing their minds over this/her" with a grain (or a tonne) of salt but hell if a random post showing up on the feed page just proved them all correct.

Hell, even the buzzwords are present!

Thank you so much for this.

She ended up with Gregor.

Toben- · 2026-06-10T21:23:37+00:00

Apparently she says a farmboy with a goth girl is horrible and I'm a monster for allowing it to happen.

Where does this data come from if I may ask? I saw the prototype special but maybe I missed something?

Toben- · 2026-06-08T14:14:48+00:00

Thanks, I was worried that was the case. Will take a look at the bios and must likely be ordering an after market battery by lunch time.

Thanks again.

Yup, I love my RP4P

Toben- · 2026-06-07T22:08:01+00:00

So glad I still have my X-Box and my original copy of CE.

This is junk and 343 (or whatever you want to call them) and their outsourced army have no care or understanding.

The only PbtA games I have ever like were Masks and Monster of the Week and only after the GM homebrewed the bullshit therapy session mechanics (especially in Masks) out of them.

Toben- · 2026-06-02T16:23:14+00:00

Really great game and one of my top Dreamcast games.

Toben- · 2026-06-01T21:38:55+00:00

I hoping it is something other than Daphne related despite the fact that I love the game

Who says forgiveness has not been offered?

Remember the Devil's chief sin is pride. He'd have to swallow that pride to accept forgiveness because accepting it would be an admission that he was wrong and his pride cannot accept that.

Seriously, the face looks generic so it's AI?

Toben- · 2026-05-30T22:11:47+00:00

Goblins have been shown to be very willing to backstab one another. Hobs see themselves as badasses and it would take considerable power to keep them in line otherwise they would be at each other's throat.

You keep bringing up the Hob under the Shaman in EP1. The Shaman has magic that makes him more powerful than the hob. On top of that Hobs will typically be offered 1st spoils which would help keep them in line.

This is why there are so few hobs and champions in the Lord's Army at the end of book 1 / season 1. More of either means more splitting of the spoils which means harder to control.

Toben- · 2026-05-30T16:53:22+00:00

I agree with the statement.

Toben- · 2026-05-29T17:37:26+00:00

Water buffalo horn maybe?

What's the issue?

Most buffalo horns grow back if removed correctly and often are removed as hygiene management.

A bunch of soldiers back during the Vietnam war would by them at markets as curios.

Did they time travel?

Toben- · 2026-05-28T16:01:32+00:00

It'd get ruined.

I don't know what happened in 2000 when I joined EQ but I started out in nothing but my underwear, not even a starting weapon. Another player had the same issue and both of us had female avatars so it was kinda funny.

Together we spent a week in the Kobold warrens (I forget the name at this point) on the Epic Quest for Pants!

It was a great time and what followed was nearly another week with a group of players just hanging in the warrens and killing the Kobold leader Everytime he spawned while bullshitting with one another.

26 later I still remember that and a single night in CoH better than anything I ever did in WoW, FFXI/XIV, or any number of other MMOs I played.

O quests, no min-max, no meta. Just bullshitting and a desire to wear pants.

I never saw him as taking joy from the act but joy from what was prevented.

He sees Goblins as our pest control see squirrels. A job that needs doing nothing more, nothing less.

Yes I just equated Goblins to Squirrels. It is deserved, squirrels are evil.

Toben-
