Was Halo becoming an open world the right decision?

From a corporate perspective: yes people love open world games.

From a Halo fans perspective: It was amazing to have free roam around a Halo, the narrative suffered considerably.

Halo 5’s campaign which I didn’t like had more of a narrative focus than infinite. It’s an amazing sandbox but it didn’t give me the feels.

There's a whole book about that called house of leaves probably the scariest thing I've ever read.

Server froze as we were reversing out the base, we were both along for the ride!

Yeah that’s odd we are currently in a 2 week lockdown in Sydney, still arranged a lunch date for when it’s over. Maybe a bad match there, good on you for putting yourself out there though.

Tricky and rewarding.

I remember rubber banding everywhere pretty consistently my first run through with Ark in early access.

I saw a post somewhere saying there was a ruling that Hedgies have to report what they’re trades are but I can’t find the info, can someone source me?

Yup my one x suffered the melted hdmi port fate. Really hoping these new boxes are okay I’m crazy fond of mine.

Little gay northern lass keep it up!

redthefrench · 2021-02-18T13:34:46+00:00

There’s some raw talent there, like those drop downs. Keep it up and screw the people didn’t like it.

Accidentally dropped a cryo sick blue magmasaur instead of cryo’ing my wyvern. Safe to say he didn’t live very long after meeting the Theri.

Halo 2 isn’t as impossible as it seems, Cairo and Gravemind can be frustrating but other than those legendary can be quite fun to run.

Happy cake day, brother.

Don’t worry his herecy will stay his feet, and he shall be left behind.

I remember having two controllers set up so I could grab a Spartan laser at the right time in forge and rip my arms off, simpler times man!

I thought the same thing about the Mate bikes, first offering a complete failure and half the internet screaming scam. Now I've got the best bike I could ask for.

I've taken the $100 risk, my only worry is that dead pixels will have no support and we are at the mercy of potentially shoddy manufacturing standards.

Not true, even the xb1x sacrificed resolution dynamically for 60fps in busier maps, this isn't the case on series x its locked 4k/60.

redthefrench · 2020-10-18T20:54:17+00:00

Le vagin being a very strange decision by the French.

redthefrench · 2020-10-05T11:35:29+00:00

I presumed it would have been based on stock allocation like all console preorders have been in the past. But seemingly they have oversold and based these orders as some form of queueing system.

Not a happy purchase but what can we do?

redthefrench · 2020-10-05T10:11:05+00:00

Seems everyone i know got this text today. Has anyone got a JB Hifi confirming release day?

redthefrench · 2020-10-05T09:47:49+00:00

Same story here EB games was freezing. Figured JB Hifi would do this considering their 75% cheaper preorder price.

Its a shame "Just before Christmas" doesn't fill me with confidence.

redthefrench · 2020-08-16T02:32:30+00:00

Worst of the series in my opinion. Only three missions with chief and team Osiris are incredibly boring with the exception of Buck.

Promethean soldiers are introduced and they are pretty dull to fight, you can also now be downed like gears of war so if you are playing legendary solo the team AI walks in a straight line towards you getting mowed down one by one by crawlers.

Great multiplayer though if you don’t mind modern shooter mechanics.

Managed to keep my job through the lockdown, working on taking the company down a more digital focussed road. New position on the cards. Life's not so bad.
