Halo4 is really weird. Forerunner design became all busy and plastickey (the plastic aspect is due to the material/shader and the business comes from stark changes in the design language). The new enemies are not interesting in terms of behaviour and the new weapons are literally the old ones with a slightly different appearance. Also for some reason the game starves you of ammo and weapons dropped to the ground disappear after a few seconds, which makes legendary… a legendary slog.

Yet they did something really cool with Cortana and Chief. But that’s not nearly enough for me to ever want to replay it again, which is a terrible thing to say about a Halo game…

In co-op though it must be fun, I never tried

Zahille7,

You kinda need to play it with bandanna to enjoy it. But even then, anytime you die after you’ve gotten some nice weapons from enemies, you have about 10 seconds to run over and pick them up before they’re gone.

I don’t mind the loadout system for Spartan Ops, but I can see why they’d be a pain in the ass to deal with in multiplayer.

zikzak025,

The updated Forerunner architecture designs seem directly lifted out of Tron. I can’t imagine it’s a coincidence that Halo 4 released just 2 years after Tron Legacy.

Speaking of the weapons. I absolutely despise using the forerunner weapons. Like. The UNSC Weapons and majority of the covenant weapons control fine, hell, I’d say a few of them control really well. But then the Forerunner weapons feel like they have no impact. It’s some sort of combo of how the Forerunner enemies are and the lack of any sort of haptic feedback.

Maybe it’s just a me thing. It did take me a while to figure out the needler actually needed the shields to be down to explode. So maybe I’m missing something

I’ll have to replay Halo 4 at some point. I remember liking it more than most people seem to, and I probably would have rated it like a solid 7/10. Not amazing, but not quite mediocre either.

Then again, I haven’t played it since it first came out, and I was far less critical of games back then.

I imagine I sounded a bit harsher than I meant, but I did somewhat enjoy Halo 4. It’s not the scum of the earth I hear people say it is. But it’s definitely no Bungie Saga either

How could you say that about my husband

Ballas from Warframe (at least they gave him the ol’ snip)

RizzRustbolt,

I suspect Wally is pumping him up for a crossover.

NihilsineNefas,

I’m not gonna lie the old peace kinda threw me off in terms of what the lore is, feels like I’ve missed something between the hex quest and the old peace

I remember seeing this screenshot before the game came out and thinking there is no way graphics could ever get better than this.

It’s crazy to think where we’ve gotten so far. I know there’s a lot of points to be made about how we need upscaling and stuff to reach some of these highs, but damn, they still do look really impressive

Hau and Hop from Pokémon Gen 7 and Gen 8 irrationally piss me off every time I have to deal with them. Hop is better by a lot, but the bar is on the floor.

I miss when rivals were complete assholes to you. Not morons.

Also just the general conversation between JD and Del in Gears of War 4. The characters are fine. It’s just that every single step forward is met with some snarky little quip or joke. Every time. It takes so much of the seriousness away that made the first three games, and Judgment, feel so much more immense.

It’s been a while, but my impression was that Hop’s entire character design was “what if Hau got really depressed after losing a two or three times?”

How about the most loved ones instead?

Katana314,

There’s an unfortunate dilemma there. When someone makes a Darth Vader or Joker character, many people like them, but some like them without a trace of irony, and genuinely feel that the Empire should kill those horrible rebels and that chaos should reign in Gotham. And that gestures America.

andros_rex,

That would be fun if you wanted to make a new thread!

I stopped being a graphics whore around the mid PS2 era, mostly because my computer couldn’t run the more realistic games like GTA Vice City 😁

I unironically love seeing newer indies with PS1/N64 style 3D graphics

Back when 16 bit graphics were cutting edge, we thought they were getting close to photorealistic. It’s crazy seeing screenshots of games that I thought looked amazing at the time.

Until it can be actually photo-realistic and cross the uncanny valley, it’s best to just have a stylized aesthetic anyway.

Ironically, modern pixel graphic games would struggle t to run on the hardware I wanted realistic graphics from.

good graphics have replaced good art direction and style

Disco Elysium what?

I replayed Neverwinter Nights base campaigns again not too long ago. Replayability used to be the standard, and for $20. I’m not paying $60+ for a 30hr game that lacks the compulsion to turn around and start up another play through. Granted, D&D 3.5 character builds are compelling on their own, but I digress.

Civilizations III vs whatever VII was all about.

I wanted photo realistic games when I was younger, and now I get to enjoy playing them. I also enjoy playing 2d games. It turns out fidelity is just an artistic choice which does little to predict the quality of a game 🙄
