The good: Gunplay was the best of new 343’s Halo games. They made the Prometheans fun to fight. Warzone was the only good thing to come out of 343’s multiplayers. The lootboxes which could be earned was better than infinite’s paid season passes and expensive armor cores. They also had probably the only good iconic anything from the 343 games in the Guardians. On top of that, they had the best villain of the 343 games (evil Cortana).
The bad: They brought back Cortana after a amazing send off. The Didact never appears again despite having a teaser at the end of 4. Half the story is you playing a random Spartan chasing John for being “suspicious”. The team dynamic isn’t great and is leaned into. Warden Eternal SUCKS. And then he sucks again. And again. NO SPLIT SCREEN, AT ALL! No real Firefight, but none of 343’s games have had real Firefight.
Anyways, infinite sucks and I wish it didn’t exist. I’d rather have had a Halo 6 close out the Promethean story and do more with the Guardians.
Thanks! I actually just bought one of the those that are delisting soon a couple nights ago. So that makes me feel better. I’ll have to go through this first list tonight.
It absolutely isn’t a legal defense. You’re right.
I’m saying it should be legal. Starting now, since digital is a standard. Nintendo needs to put it out or let people share it. They can have 10 years (or the highest of 5 years from now/10 years from when it was last available). Something like that.
The TV movie standard of everything being available should be the video game standard.
I think there’s a difference between unavailable and limited availability.
There are some old games that may never come back. In many cases, there’s no agreed owner. Imagine if something became public domain after a short period of no use (5 years, 10 years maybe).
And the songs will start to become unavailable to purchase over the next 9 years. I guess it’s a good reminder for me to buy all the songs I want to get.
Simply modding it to have expanded storage is fantastic. I have a PSTV hooked up to my hanging room TV (basically like a firestick/chromecast) since it doesn’t need to sit on anything.
It kinda serves the same purpose as that PS1 Classic, except better in almost every way.
5 was fun. The gameplay was way better than 4. The biggest issues, imo, were making 2/3 of the game “follow MC due to being vaguely suspicious” and bringing back Cortana, even though it was a rampant version of the original.
The positives were Evil Cortana was the best best villain 343 has had, the Guardians were a great replacement for the Halo rings, and the gunplay was fun again. Also, Warzone was awesome.
XIII isn’t in my top 5 FF games. But the interpersonal dynamic is the absolute best in the series. The scene where Sahz discovers why his son was branded is one of the most impactful moments in gaming. Two of the most cheerful characters in the franchise, suddenly broken.
I don’t love how restricted the game is at the beginning. But each of their personal stories are magnificent, usualy leading to their Eidolon awakening.
