I was in the mood for more FPS games after I played through FEAR 2 last week. Thought I'd try out Halo Infinite, and well they've ruined another franchise as far as I'm concerned. I've played about 4 hours of the campaign and I'm not sure I will even bother to finish. Prior to this I've played every Halo campaign at least twice, most of them three or four times.
The SJW stuff I could have even managed to overlook, because I don't care about the story that much. Still, it's noticeable that it's all women except you as Master Chief and one really pussy man that's like a ship's pilot. New Cortana is not only uglier, but she's just fucking annoying. It's a totally different personality and not in a good way.
Open world, no thanks. If I wanted to play FarCry I'd play FarCry.
The weapons suck. Feels like a bunch of slow BB guns and water pistols. I want the Covenant Carbine back. The Promethean weapons were fun in Halo 4, but these "Banished" weapons are terrible. You can't avoid them that much either because in the campaign you have to pick stuff up and they seem to be what's available. Honestly it feels like a game that took all the fun out of the weapons for the sake of some competitive balance that I couldn't give a shit less about for a campaign. I don't want my favorite weapon to be a Plasma Pistol in a Halo game, and I'm pretty sure that's what I've held on to the most.
I haven't tried multiplayer because I'm not interested anymore. I went into the customization and well it's very much constantly trying to separate me from my credit card. Expected I guess.
So that's my rant at least. Glad I didn't buy it and it won't join my collection going all the way back to Halo 1. At least I can still play those if I want.
My condolences. But at least it wasn't FEAR 3. Shame how it went from basically the best FPS ever to something godawful.
The waifu in FEAR 2 was aight, but yeah it's nowhere near as good as 1. You kinda saw glimpses of would could've been a great followup but it fell victim to being developed right in the middle of the COD craze.
I've had it on the shelf forever and never played. I didn't hate it, but it's not as good as the first one for sure. I'm a bit of a sucker for linear shooter games though. I guess it's like a "comfort food" genre for me. Every so often I just want to play one.
Edit:. Fear 2 that is. I never got 3 because I heard it was so awful.
its like a new book. when the gameplay isnt stale, its always fun. i was replaying an old cod lately... g -f did they get hella fucking linear and boring. its practically one hallway after another. in a 'resist ance' mission youre supposed to rescue your allies, but walking through the whole town in a 15 minute mission, its literally a really long hallway. gayshit level design. and some of the levels are rediculously hard because you'll get enemy spam randomly, but youre in the shit level and theres only one way to clear it. its annoying af and makes me want to go back and play H1 from roughly a decade before it. fuck activision
is fear a good recoomendation? And is there any MP or LAN/Modding
I really liked Fear (even the 2nd one). It can come off as boring though, don't try it if you would get tired of trudging around inside an office building. The levels themselves are really well designed though. While there's typically a "start" and an "exit" there's usually multiple ways to go. The game is really built around the atmosphere and good enemy AI rather than eye candy. There is multiplayer, but I've never played it. The levels would be good for that though. No idea on modding.
In my headcanon chief and cortana died in eachother's arms at the end of 3 (makes the whole "we'll make it" thing at the end more impactful), or this is simply a dream he's having in the cryotube.
I liked 4 and Reach too, but 5 was already kinda downhill. They pretty much did with 5 and Infinite what Gears 4 and 5 did to that series.
4 felt like a tipping point but it was playable. The campaign ui drove me insane though, a pretty divisive installment but I understand the appeal. Reach was alright, I enjoyed it and place it up there with ODST.
5 just didn't do it for me.
reach wasnt good for gameplay, it was a good story to wrap up the series and had fun co op. odst of c. wasnt 5 also released without co op? 343 faggy spark is a lazy studio.
How much of the SJW stuff is there? All the unsc is the wamenz? thats pretty gay. chief should have dressed down that pilot for being such a soy faggot, I dont buy him as a soldier in a desperate war for a single moment. you can practically smell the soy on his lines. he sounds like the scriptwriters were hipsters and wanted to self insert into halo. isnt new cortana a different ai? idk too much of the story so far. but making her dress like a nun is pretty gay and was a great indicator that it was going to be woke. imagine getting triggered at a hologram having titties in a war game. Soy CucKoLdS/ are the promethian weapons copypasted unsc with slightly different changes, OP? idk how you could improve on the mix from 1-4. does the plasma pistol act the same as the first few games? same main/alt use? and did you end up using it because of too many different weapon types so you couldnt keep ammo for one wep? the halo infinite sub seems to like it, but I suspect major astroturf on there. i was gonna link this thread later, reeks of astrofags. the mp sounded like a clusterfuck, and with
343Soy spark studios announcing price decreases for IAP (LOL) i can imagine the playerbase has been dwindling faster than chief in a super heavy atmosphere. from the rotating game modes, to slayer not being permanent, to no split screen, and tons of other options missing, no forge. the game sounds like a garbage early access product. I hope MS has to sell off 343 because guilty soy studios is nothing but garbge. H5 guardians and now this should be enough to cancel these gay fucks. I want a VN where you fuck cortana or some shit. fuck these pol correct sois five ways to sunday. halo without splitscreen isnt halo. they should have relased this as a beta product. and $60 for a fucking campaign LOL. its not even a finished one. maybe ill try one day in the gaysterchief Infinite colection for $20, or maybe ill move on from halo until the whole OG bungie is working on it. odonnel and all. only time will tell if that'll ever be something in the future of halo. we really needa revolt against the EA dime a dozen games. let these fucks go broke343 are hack developers who chase trends because they're headed by an SJW women who has no idea how to make a good game, so copying whats popular is all shes got.
I thought the multiplayer was alright, but I only really played for the Game Pass points.
Tell me more of these... GamePass points?
Are those the achievements with the little diamond icon? Are they related in any way to the MS rewards on Bing?
Yeah, they're the MS reward points, having Game Pass gives you opportunities to earn way more.
Awesome. So I can use Gamepass to continue getting MS points to continue getting free Gamepass. ;-)
and also, do these game pass points give you a magical benis, imp? u ▼ –

What are you on about. It's back.
It's 20x better than halo 4 and 5.
It's it as good as 1 2 and 3? Not quite, but they've clearly seen where they went wrong and gotten back on course.
Lmao! Is this a 343 shill in the wild? Its not even a true halo campaign. Its just farcry and halo combined.
theres no co op and this nigga be claimin its 20x better than 4. the story sucked, albeit with a functional co op afair.
not better. and also 4 did not have a soy goonery simp
Lol @ soy goonery simp
I really enjoyed it as well. This is much better than 4 or 5
Try Chernobylite if you still have the FPS itch. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1016800/Chernobylite/
I would suggest modded Mechwarrior 5, but playing that on mouse and keyboard(which is allowed and made for it)is criminal and only true mechwarriors play with a joystick, pedals and throttle hahaha
I tried MW5 about a year ago with my very not fancy HOTAS, but it didn't really cooperate well. It's a flight stick setup and I never got rudder pedals for it. I never really gave it a shot otherwise, but maybe I will.
Chernobylite looks sweet, that definitely made my wish list.
Yeah, setting up a joystick in MW5 is a chore indeed.
I say pedals because my joystick doesn't have the rudder axis. But if yours has, then there is no need.
I recommend Yet Another Mech Lab, VonBiomes, Relux, No tonnage limit, immersive cockpit, as mods.
Also 2nd Chernobylite, Solid lil game thats scheduled to get content through the year.
We need more games like that!
I prefer games that are finished, and release eventual expansion packs. drip feeding expansions is gay (imo)
Because making actual levels requires making sure you're designing things to subtly nudge the player the right way, making sure they have just enough supplies to make it through an area, and considering enemy placement.
Yes, I am calling open world game design lazy. Fuck you.
Another thing the open world killed was the sense of immersion, ironically. The OG games always had set-pieces where you walked into a shitstorm of UNSC vs. enemies. They made it feel like there was a larger battle going on and you were just a part of the world.
Infinite tries to replicate that with the distress calls, but at no point in my playthrough did I feel immersed in the world.
if they have working radios, why are you the only spartan/unsc/dropship troop in the area? are they time limited? if you dont get there in time are they overrun? or is it the same repeating messages until the end of the game?
Their markers stay on the map until you complete them, so there's no time pressure. That would have made it interesting.
Yeah all the trash talking from the grunts is a great little addition
I could overlook the SJW stuff, as it was very subtle. Something about the gameplay just felt off to me. I guess I just don't like the Alien weapons anymore, and those were typically my go-to in past campaigns.
That whole emotional moments forced in just seems to be a new trend in media in general. Sorry, I can't get emotional over characters unless I'm given a lot of time to build an attachment to them.
Halo 4 brought in the Prometheans as a new enemy. I think the Flood was totally out of the picture in that game. Prometheans were a bit of a god-race type thing. I just like the design and gameplay of them myself. If I remember right, 5 still included them at least, but turned into some sort of Cortana gone rogue thing. I only played 5 a couple times and the last at least 3 years ago. I don't remember it leaving much of an impression, maybe I should go retry it.
I think forerunners and prometheans are at least sort of the same thing. But yeah there's a lot of convoluted stuff going on.
what the hell. fuck these money grubbing niggas
