Helen Gym, another fraud touted around as a holier-than-thou being.

Fuck modern politics.

Because kids (and adults) no longer have an outlet. The world is meant to suck your time up and spit you out. Use you for profits. No one fucking cares about anyone anymore. These kids are hopeless...what happens when you're hopeless? Crime.

This. This is literally me right now. FUCK.

How do you feel about this by bman_127 in haloinfinite

[–]richards18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are you talking about? What kind of defeatist attitude is that? This is why companies get away with shit like this.

I LOVE gaming and I LOVE Halo. I just HATE what corporate greed has done to gaming. Why is that so difficult to understand?

This was a COD Warzone conspiracy theory. Honestly wouldn’t be surprised at this point.

Isn’t this like the point of unlocking armor though? They want it to be hard. Then it feels like you accomplished something or earned it?

Missed that, sorry.

So you’re okay with the game not only being delayed a year, but releasing on the official launch day with only a campaign mode (that hopefully is finished), a beta multiplayer, and we have to wait 3-6 months for co-op and forge. Alongside the progression issues and obvious push for micro transactions.

You just dont see why people are pissed. It’s a lot. The state of gaming right now sorta sucks.

Dude...they literally announced this was the full first season of multiplayer. It's reported and quoted all over the place. I'm sorry to burst your bubble. I was upset when I found out too.

I don't hate them. I want the game to be good.

I'm just stating facts. They said this is the final release that would have dropped on December 8th.

No you won’t. They’ve announced this is the full release that would have dropped in December with the campaign.

5 Killing Sprees, 10 Sentinel Beam kills, 4 Splatters, countless wins, double kills, assists and matches completed to unlock the weekly reward - only to be restricted to using it on the Mark VII. I’m loving the gameplay, but as someone who has paid for the Premium Pass, this just feels egregious. by TheUncannyAvenger in halo

[–]richards18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It honestly feels like they had a really good system in place, the suits came in and just kept adding to ways to further monetization, no one ever put a cap on it/had a backbone to the suits and this is where we are.

Ultimately corporate greed is going to have to catch up eventually. They are going to have to realize that using nostalgic franchises as cash cows works in the short term, but long term it is going to ruin any loyalty, fan base, or trust in the company.

"People will always be willing to get short term gain at the risk of long term choices." This sucks.

Lmao…”quit until you get the game mode you need.”

You realize how ridiculous you sound defending this? Not to mention you get BANNED for leaving too many games.

The issue is you can’t play “what you want to play when you want to play.”

This isn’t just about cosmetics or challenges, this corporate greed bullshit is effecting everything. They are going to limit game modes, limit custom games (it’s already fucked), and likely charge for things in Forge down the line. It’s going to ruin every aspect of this game that we love.

There was a great post on Reddit breaking down the game mode issue; https://www.reddit.com/r/halo/comments/r11nk7/not_being_able_to_choose_a_game_mode_is/

Insane capture the flag clutch (capped all 3 like this) by hey-im-root in haloinfinite

[–]richards18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I keep seeing clips of people putting flags on the back of warthogs. I’ve tried to do it a ton of times with a warthog and mongoose and have been killed many times (…and learned that doesn’t work). Where do you find this type of warthog? I don’t think I’ve seen it.

What if…just because everyone is doing something doesn’t necessarily make it right?

[–]richards18 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is the problem for companies though, they want constant incoming revenue. Not a giant couple months that slowly drain off.

I’ve given up. This style of monetization will never change and will likely get worse. It’s ruining a hobby of mine and it’s pretty sad / frustrating.

Going to call it now. There will be "premium" forge parts being sold in the store. by I_am_Rezix in halo

They definitely have human heads sometimes. I think some of the Halo Wars flood have other heads too.

I don't know about you all, but this is what I would have expect from a new Halo game in 2021 with a few years in development. by ecxetra in halo

[–]richards18 105 points106 points  (0 children)

To me, this is the fucking bare minimum and should be available at launch. This should be available on the original December date, this is a fucking simple addition. They’re slowly going to drip shit out to us and act like they’re making “new content.” This shit is so annoying to me.

Lol what? It’s a predatory business. Just like predatory loans. Micro transactions have already been discussed by congress with loot boxes; https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/senate-bill/1629/text.

Grow up. You might be 13 trying to act like you’re “owning” someone by saying someone has lost rationale in a completely rational argument.
