It’s mostly done because the Shock weapons now EMP instead, so 343 wanted to reduce weapon redundancy.

Yeah it’s a bummer that the Plasma Pistol doesn’t EMP anymore, but considering there’s a whole new class of weapons designed to EMP it makes sense from a balance perspective.

The market for GaS titles is also saturated now, sure you can occasionally have a breakout hit if it lands in a genre that hasn’t yet had much exposure in the GaS space yet. But another issue is that service games are designed to monopolize players time and keep them coming back. This makes it incredibly hard to split…

I would like to add Warframe to that list as well.

I wish there were some version of Anthem that stripped out all the bullshit and repackaged it into a linear co-op action shooter, the one thing it did really well.

I’ll take No Fucking Shit for 800 please.

Yeah, my biggest issue with OW2 (other than the switch to 5v5) is how prematurely they announced it.

I really don’t understand this take that people keep trying to make. Yes the multiplayer is being merged, but you’re also getting a whole campaign along with co-op missions, along with an updated engine and several more years of updates.

You nailed it. I went from playing solo on recruit and breezing through missions to playing on the 2nd lowest tier of difficulty with a premade team with coordinated card decks and barely scraping by each mission.

Another month where my decision not to purchase a game pays off.

It is honestly incredibly the amount of abuse Nintendo fans are willing to put up with.

I think you mean Grifball.

I mean they always turn the difficulty down for gameplay promos. If they set it to Legendary the trailer would just be a montage of the player dying.

Yeah, the biggest issue story wise with the 343 games is that all seem disconnected from one another.

I’ve always maintained that the actual mission design in Halo 5's campaign was quite good, it was the story that was ass.

She had clothes in Halo 5 as well.

Far Cry 4 had the cool little treasure hunt dungeons, and probably the best villain in the series (yes better than Vaas).

This will complement the KFConsole nicely.

This man needs help, and unfortunately all he has are enablers.

It threw me off guard that Debra Wilson’s likeness is being used for another character she’s playing in a video game.
