Surprised that there hasn't been a thread about the halo franchise in all the years of this site being up, so I thought I'd make one so that we can discuss it

Not really, the UNSC never recovers and a lot of insurrectionists survived the war and made rival governments, as per Halo 5's item descriptions. But that was something known since Fall of Reach, a lot of rebels were already in deep hiding from the UNSC so they came out of the war pretty good, especially since their piracy of Covenant vessels has given them an edge on reverse-engineered Covenant tech.

If halo 5 wasn't shit it'd be about Chief defecting from the UNSC to those guys and actually being hunted down for it

I've been waiting to play Halo 2, 3 and Reach since I was literally a teenager and at the ripe old age of 28 I finally got my hands on MCC and finished everything but ODST.

I love this franchise so much it's crazy. I feel sad that I missed out on it in its heyday due to being poor as shit and it's also sad to see how the franchise is being run into the ground by people who don't care but man I fucking LOVE this shit. It has injected more happiness into my miserable ass life than anything I have done in a long ass time.

I'm currently on my second playthrough of Halo 2 on Heroic. Is multiplayer worth a shot? I've heard there are a lot of hackers and ridiculously skilled players who have been playing since the XBox live days but this shit is no bullshit like crack to me. I just love all the characters and guns and lore and etc. it's all just gr8 shit

idk what the MCC multiplayer is like but Halo 2 multiplayer is the quintessential online multiplayer game that set it up for all multiplayer games to come. It's also a rare case where an old game's multiplayer gets to have new life that's officially supported - most services eventually close down and the online becomes abandonware/lost media.

Also a lot (most?) halo fans care more about the multiplayer than the campaigns, for what that's worth.

I'm the most hardcore gamer on the planet. Nobody can compare themselves to me. I don't care what anybody else thinks. I only care about myself and my perspective of the world.

Who care about material reality and all that nonsense? When it comes to gaming I'm a serious hardcore idealist who gatekeeps people who I see as inferior and lesser gamers to me who aren't on the same level as me.

I don't care about numbers. Being a hardcore gamer is all about qualifications that only I can fulfill. I don't use metrics such as that to determine my hardcoreness. Also you're a console peasant so you're immediately disqualified because one of my mysterious requirements is that you have to be an member of the pc master race.

I could brag about many gaming related achievements here, and many other achievements that are unreplicable by fake gamers and lesser gamers than me. But I won't. It's just more hardcore to be mysterious like that. There is one thing that a gamer will never leave behind, and that is their pride.

You can list your gaming achievements here to see if you qualify for being part of my cadre of advanced gamers league. Eventually, I plan on creating a micronation called the Republic of Gamers. Are you in? Or are you too casual?

Just because I play military glorifying first person shooters doesn't mean I like the military's actions itself or want to glorify it. It's just a game don't take things so seriously. Even if it could potentially be propaganda, I don't care. It's tacticool and its fun. It just a game just chill out ffs. I just want to turn my brain off and have some fun. It's also the types of games I played growing up.

To those complaining that we are trying to take away their fun in playing these games, let me iterate that we are not trying to take the fun away from you. I love COD and I enjoy playing it. But you need to keep in mind that it is propaganda in terms of how they glorify combat and glorify the US military. Just make sure that you don't let the games of the franchise influence your values and your opinion on things. The games are purely fictional and do not accurately portray or represent reality. I have seen too many people allow this game to influence their beliefs. So many, who at the time didn't care about the military or want to join, suddenly wanted to join because of what COD and games like it showed what the military was supposedly like.

We can't frag n00bs like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to play matches that don't go anywhere, like the time I joined a 24/7 16k 32vs32 no AWP dust2 server in the community browser, which was how you joined matches in those days. I had replaced all the player skins with Touhou and Vocaloid characters, which was the style at the time. Now to buy guns AND ammunition you had to spend money. "!MONEY" for $16000 you'd say, otherwise you'd be playing catchup with a USP and a knife and no armor while everybody was running around with M4s and AKs.
Now where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was that I had installed anime girl decal mods on my guns, which was the style at the time. They didn't have in-game weapon skins cause of hostility to microtransactions. The only thing you could do was download mods off gamebanana…

Thoughts on Arknights?
Kinda surprised there's not already a thread about this, there's so much politics crammed into this game's story I'd imagine people here would have interesting takes on.

Has any game that advertised itself as "your choices matter!" ended up with the player's choices actually mattering? Seems like it's always a marketing thing and the actual system is that your choices give you either Ending A or the slightly different Ending B or C

 No.34574

>>34573
nah, at least the indie games i played they had too many endings, so to increase the replayability.
One of the best "Your choices matter" game was Fallout new vegas, and they did not have many endings, but almost every choice had some form of consequence in the end

I mean there's quite a lot of games with totally different endings based on who you side with, but stuff like 'social' games rarely have your choices matter much yeah

I'll start: I understand and support if Mojang wants the real life animals to teach environmantalism or something, but Dolphin's Grace absolutely dumbfounds me in this context. It incentives the player to swim between 9 and 15 meters of a dolphin, and encourage them to maintain the dolphin's persuit in order to get one of the fastest modes of transportation in the game, especially early game when the player lacks protective equipment.
Polar bears make more sense, they attack if you are within [wiki doesn't specify] meters of a cub. That is their lesson: teach the player not to approch a polar bear cub. This is a good lesson.
They even know IRL dolphins can be dangerous when approached haphazardly, but they balanced out making them cute with having them "steal" the kelp that floats above newly generated ocean ravines. But the whole Dolphin's Grace thing throws that out of wack. I don't get it's inclusion.

i'm pretty sure they don't care about teaching anything, they just thought it was fun (and it fucks over speedrunners which I assume they find amusing)

Surprisingly good story that might be a good intro to American foreign influence if you read into all the symbolism about meat. The games after that have been a steady decline since

EDF 5 is good. To be real with you, they don't add much between games so getting it on sale is a better deal than waiting for 6, especially if your friends havne't played it out.
