As a die-hard Halo enthusiast,
who simply loves the franchise
(and here's a little secret for you, halo was the first actual console game I ever played😱)
I didn't start gaming until I was 4 months away from being 40 years old,
I can definitely say without reservation: that Halo is in the top 10 franchises of all time,
and certainly the top 5 to 10 shooters of all time...
to each his own brother,
and it'...
no.
because you're lying through your teeth.
"struggling to play it, because of how bad it is?" you're full of shit and you know it.
what's bad about it?
the way that it operates?
the story?
come On son, give me some specifics about what it is you don't like?
you formed your opinion based on what you've read, and what others have said, you haven't played it on Game pass, or anywhere else.
...
..... Except that they do see the picture, acknowledge it openly,
And, have already released a couple of patches.
the most major one being within the past 72 hours, that address game issues...
but not all games are the same type and style of game.
some games are meant to continue go forward, and have continuity and continuance,
and Microsoft has focused a great deal on that style and type of game.
so they are eating more shit for it.
step back and look outside of what you normally expect things to be, to what maybe being built as an ongoing experience someone else would like it to be, and see it progress.
we're st...
That's a really solid,
objective, way of putting it.
Sometimes developers and publishers get it really, really, wrong.
but you know what?
sometimes the community does too, it's hard to grow something, especially when it's a whole different approach to doing it and delivering it.
The predatory, crappy practices, stop, when we decide they stop.
And the business model exists because everybody wants different kinds of things.
some of us want these big open-world continuously added on itrated on and content driven games.
what's the best thing you can do, is just to make sure that you have an open mind when you do comment about situations like this.
try to drive where it's going, and what you're doing.
the game communities for things like Destiny, the division and a couple o...
oh yes you do,
you have a lot to worry about.
the perception and the response of people that only know one way to look at things,
and "that's the way that it's always been" Well guess what?
the world is changing.
games are changing.
the way content is delivered and experiences are built and delivered is changing.
and there's a whole lot of negative, ignorant bias out there, against it,
...
The term "a day late and a dollar short" comes to mind,
but there's so many other terms like: you're a full of shit uninformed little clickbait biased kid, that come to mind, well before that.
because it's not constructive criticism,
A lot of the comments sections nowadays it's just a fucking hate attack.
and I'm sick of seeing it in every forum thread.
especially from people that haven't played it.
and there's a huge majority of people that want to Savage games that haven't played it, and winds up giving the offerings that are out there, really low scores...
which in turn influences developers and publishers...
I'm not "for" buggy problematic games at launch either.
but being realistic?,
every game,
every.
single.
game.
that's released nowadays needs a patch.
and adjusting, and iterating on, and I'm with you, in that people want all these features all this functionality all the advances that games can offer,
to stay right in line with their PC counterparts...
well guess what? it takes time and it t...
it's not the censoring that the debate was about previously,
it's about how ridiculously unrealistic the tit physics were to begin with.
but that's their bread and butter, or else no one would pay to shits to anything Dead or alive.
what they need to focus on is making it a better game, period.
But I share your view as far as the censorship.
you want to bitch you about how a game is made?
complain about the ...
Phantom pain...
another one that I'm completing, so VERY slowly, it's ridiculous...
but then again, there's so many directions to go and so many things that require completion, that it's ridiculous. .
it just seems to be another one of those games like:
homesteading in assassin's Creed 3, God I hated it so much.
forward bases in phantom pain.
the base camps in Red Dead Redemption 2.
there's so much in the game that seems like a damn grind...
Could it be I'm just not enjoying it... ?
And what's funny is there's so much that's Good, and I really like about that kind of game.
its is kind of, seems like, rage,
but God...
I've stopped four or five times now...
Appreciate your balls, brother,
as far as just stating simple(what should be glaringly obvious by the amount of it) fact.
"There's no bias or hate campaign"
Bull-shit.
only people with their head in the Sand, or up there ass,
don't know that n4g is a Sony-centric, leaning site to begin with.
vg247 used to be that way,
but they've mellowed out quite a bit, this site is horrendous For it.
No that's not the point.
the point is everyone bashing it on here, (also metacritic) that are individuals bringing the score down, much like people as yourself,
the majority of people that want to cite the reviews, and say "oh it's a bad game/ look it's a bad game, aren't people that have played it.
and that's my point.
I've said a lot of things in comment sections, little things here and there, when people want to cite...
