Have they finally stopped splitting up fireteams into random squads? Various Battlefield games also used to have this issue, and really does destroy a lot of the fun of jumping into a big battle with 3 other friends.

Totally agree. I’ve been at my current company for 15 years. I’ve been taken care of by this company, so unionizing has never been part of any conversation. Outside of a basic understanding of unions, I wouldn’t feel comfortable commenting on the situation with Activision/Blizzard either. Sure, I’m not as high up in…

Ah yes, a car that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars vs a $10 digital cosmetic item. Really doing a great job “applying my logic.” Sigh.

Unfortunately Kinja is shit, and I couldn’t update my post to fix the price.

If the comparison doesn’t apply... why did you bring it up... while accusing me of faulty logic? I’m not making a commentary on how fucked American capitalism is. I’m talking about people bitching about CAT EARS in a video game being “overpriced” when they appear to be priced EXACTLY as they should be based on how…

I will never understand how people can get so up in arms over completely optional cosmetic items in a game. Does it look bad? Sure. So don’t buy it? It’s also pretty ironic that after all the complaints about “overpriced” cosmetics, I couldn’t go a single match without seeing at least one or two cat-ear spartans - a…

Riot Games has expanded its Queue Dodge buyout program

you rock that jacket. i def noticed it while playing the game.

Waited a few months from launch and played on PC - had almost zero issues. It was awesome. It’s almost like the loud, whiny players online are just a tiny minority of the actual playerbase...

You are absolutely right. I ended up starting on heroic and played up to the “open world” starts. The challenge felt perfectly balanced to heroic. Obviously I haven’t gotten to any areas where it ramps up, but I’m looking forward to getting my ass beat a bit!

Very interesting. I’ve always played through Halo campaigns on Heroic, then saved Legendary for the co-op playthrough. I might actually start this one on normal, especially considering the length of this campaign is reportedly 4-5x that of the longest previous Halo campaign. May as well not prolong that even more by…

Heads up it’s Brian Jarrard, not “Jarrad”.

I can’t believe your comment has the most upvotes, but I’m so glad it does. I feel like salty gamers are sllllooowwwlly realizing how dumb they’ve sounded for the past decade or so.

I only listed the products that currently have an official recall in place.

Why not include the list of products in the article? Here they are:

The prices in the shop will reflect what people are willing to pay for it. If they weren’t selling well (and I’m sure they are based on the skins I’ve seen in games), they would lower the prices. That said, I absolutely agree with your first two points. Ari states that “Halo has never been about this stuff” but that’s…

Absolutely this. They released a fantastic multiplayer mode, and even if they didn’t, all the devs would still deserve a break. Progressing on a damn season pass is a minor issue. Is it weird that I remember a time when you just played video games for fun... not for pointless cosmetics?

Not surprising in the least, but like still... what the fuck!?

Huh. Really surprised to see a negative take on this game. It absolutely blew me away, and is slowly creeping through my friend group, doing the same thing to each and every one that finally picks it up. At least I appreciate the spoiler warning, as Inscryption is at it’s best when you go in blind knowing next to…

Good info. It’s really just a matter of devs and publishers releasing games for macOS at this point. That M1 tech is impressive as hell.
