What I always hear is that companies will send C&D letters to small ventures, because it creates precedence. Without that, a company loses the right to sue.

I wonder how true that actually is.

Not a fan of autopilot or subtracting flags (that one really screws with my head). But I like the game!

It’s weird that games nailed fun racing games back in the PS2/Xbox era. Between Burnout, Midnight Club, Need for Speed, all of them peaked. Then couldn’t repeat formula. Then on the PS3 they had Motorstorm. But really there hasn’t been a lot of fun racing games since.

I used to play the crap out of this game. I got a ridiculous amount of stuff without paying a dime too. I had to stop playing because it took too much of my time.

I have that one on the PS2. I don’t know that there is a better Sonic collection.

I thought it was fine. I don’t know about underrated though. I don’t think it’s nearly as good as Xcom.

I’m kind of in a different boat with this. I’m paying for quality, not quantity. Especially since I don’t have as much free time as I did 20 years ago.

So if I can play through a phenomenal story within a couple months over a 20 hour game (which usually takes me 30 hours) at the height of the hype when people are still talking about it, I love it. Give me efficient storytelling.

In fact, if it’s something longer, it kind makes me rethink it whether I want to pay full price. Why rush?

I love playing reach in God mode with infinite abilities just mowing down enemies. Just remember to turn on Grunt Birthday Party.

I really like some of the Halo games for this, especially any levels that don’t involve The Flood. The inventive hit-boxes, slow movements, the vehicles that are fun to just drive around, and the addition of gameplay modifiers, they’re pretty cathartic for me.

Their comment sounds like something you spam on a bunch of posts to get someone to click the scam link.

Yeah, Halo Infinite just skips everything that Halo 5 set up. Everything Promethean is over. There are no more Spartan companions (whether any are still alive or not is kind of up in the air). Humans are on the brink of extinction. The whole game is just telling you that’s the new reality. Not really a lot of plot, just world building.

I just want a sequel to Halo 5 that concludes the Promethean trilogy. The game ended at a great spot for a final chapter, not a fucking epilogue.

I liked the FF8 remaster. The field models are just field models. It’s not like they look like the FMV cutscene character models on the original either. They’re just so distorted that you have to imagine the FMV characters.

Editing out Siren’s bush was a sin though.

Edit: Oh, and getting rid of vibration. I had forgot about that until just now. That was 100% the worst part of the remaster. I hope they’re fixing that, because otherwise what’s the point in the demaster?

Edit 2: Also losing omnidirectional movement since it’s based on the PC port. Same reason there’s no vibration.

I STRONGLY disagree. 5 was a letdown with some bright spots. Infinite is offensively bad with no redeeming value.

Even if you remove Infinite, 5’s combat is better than 4’s in every single way. I would split second worst between those two depending on what aspects you’re comparing.

As far as I know, they gave up on assassinations too. To be honest, by the time I finished the game, the missing features were at the bottom of the list of problems I had with it.

It did not release with co-op. I think they had to figure out how to make it work with the open world map and zip lining. When I had finished it, it still didn’t have it. When they added it, they also announced that they had stopped trying to make local co-op work.

I’ve said before, Infinite feels like the DLC to a Halo 6 game that was never released.

This is my biggest complaint. Halo 6 was set up to be an amazing game. Then Infinite ended up with zero story. The most interesting stuff in Infinite were the little flashback sequences that bridge 5 to Infinite.

I have a lot of problems with it. Between the “story” and the copy-paste map. I would rather the game didn’t exist, because at least then they could make a follow up to 5’s end.

I really don’t want to spoil your fun if you’re enjoying it though. A lot of the gameplay elements are fun to play around with.

Halo 5 had a lot of problems. Bit it’s a damned masterpiece compared to Infinite.

Halo 5 had great gunplay, Warzone Firefight was a blast, the Guardians were a great stand-in for the Halo rings, Cortana was an intimidating enemy by the end of the game, the lootboxes were actually better than the armor cores and marketplace from Infinite.

There are A LOT of negatives in there too. But a lot of positives. Infinite is just a shitshow from the beginning.
