Mr Bayliss said he was “very in tune with my moral compass, as a person” and the thought that families weren’t able to purchase a games console as a result of his business had bothered him.

Man, it would be a shame if something happened to this guy, huh? Big shame. Really big shame.

“While it’s true that we all live in a capitalist hellscape, labor-added value is usually supposed to add value for… you know, the consumer.”

Is it the players putting the Reddit mods in a difficult position? Or the game devs and publishers who release incomplete and broken games literally every year?

That little worm went on twitter and said we were being unreasonable for wanting things like VOIP, a scoreboard and a working game. He then gaslit then entire fan base and now they’re reaping what they sow. They deserve whatever vitriol that comes their way.

being a dick lol, no it’s about winning the match. I’m not playing for the other players fucking feelings lol.

This has always been in the “spirit” of Halo. Jumping off with the ball in Oddball goes hand in hand with the gametype.

The goal is to be playing with your team and this has been a legitimate strategy in Halo for ages. It’s pretty obvious when the other team is gearing to jump off the map with the skull so if yall actually use voice comms to tell your team the ball is going to reset and to meet in the middle, you can counter it pretty…

FWIW, I think this kind of positional play that rewards tactical thought from good teams working together is what makes Oddball worth having in the game at all.

I’m sorry but this isn’t reddit.

I agree. I have some challenges (like play Stronghold or win x number of oddball matches) and I can go almost 10 games without getting into any one of those types of matches! I just don’t have that kind of time to grind some of this stuff out. If the game had some more customization unlocked from the get go, I…

Same but the lack of dedicated playlists has caused me to put it down. I just want to play Slayer like the old days and I get stuck in these other game modes that don’t interest me.

Whatever. I’m already resigned to the idea that I might as well just be playing Halo 2, playing for fun, and any appearance upgrades that could be gained via progression are mere abstractions.

Um. I wasn’t saying it isn’t? But Honor of Kings is on mobile and League is not. More people have phones than computers, particularly the casual gaming crowd, particularly the Chinese casual gaming crowd. So if we’re talking specifically the mobile MOBA market, Honor’s got a much bigger audience than League with much…

Given how the comments section is filled with variations of “I have never heard of this IP” for something that’s supposedly so popular, I have a feeling its numbers and success have more to do with the restrictive Chinese market than anything else. Remember, China has a population of 1.4 billion and Honor of King’s…

Did you seriously feel a need to write this article? Why? Whether a small development studio is all male or all female or what-have-you does not matter. Your statement of, “So, presumably, the founder had met at least a couple of women who were skilled enough to work at one of the highest-profile video game companies…

I’m not for disparaging ANY group. I’m biracial/straight, as an FYI. Trans people get treated unfairly (being kind) just as many groups do - not saying its right. However, after WATCHING the Chapelle special, having NO dog in the fight, I don’t see what he said jokingly, that warrants a “walk out”. I wouldn’t even…

If I wanted to read reddit, i would read it myself. How about you do real journalistic work if you really want to call yourself an editor in your bio.

“Reddit is a cesspool!” Also these blogs: “Check out this cool thing I’m stealing from Reddit”

I am the thing you describe but I will still get it day one. This generation isn’t like other generations. If I buy it day one and it enhances the performance of my existing library, that’s fine with me until the more games roll out.
