Woke is not the overall issue to a video game. But it is definitly an issue. Me and other people wont touch a woke game with with10 foot pole. And people now will not buy the game if it has dei messaging. People dont like the term go woke go broke. But its true

Okay the resaon it's soucks is dysync and code problems, one line of code conflicts with other code. Game ran fine day one. Anyone could pickup any weapon and do decent, after the pro's whined about it, being to easy or balanced for everyone, it got worse. I play on mouse and keyboard and controller by the way. Then you have rumors of the h1b visa employees, using chat gbt to do most of their coding, which was 80% okay-ish, 20 wtf which had to be redone. Which lead to the delays and lack of content. Another thing is the graphics part of the game didn't have, and still doesn't have a limit on resources. which leads to lag and dysync, then you have way fewer servers for online play.

Is getting lmao please like it wasn't since launch

The problem with AAA games is the problem of big company software development. You have so many stakeholders, company politics, developers navigating career advancement, higher ups randomly spearheading some big initiative that makes no sense, etc etc. When a plucky dev chooses to authentically care about what's being built, it can blow back on them if they choose the wrong political hill to die on. So its an inefficient mess, and people that "win" these internal battles tend to be political operators, not always people with vision, ability, or care for the craft. If you're smart as a dev, you keep your head down and wait for you stock to vest so you can maybe buy a house one day. Compare that to a cohesive, small team like Halo-era Bungie that managed to stay pretty independent of Microsoft and not get caught up in all that. Less BS to navigate, more alignment on what's important, sh*t just gets done, etc etc

these games are using microtransactions to make their money back and more. it's wild

simply re-using assets isn't what "asset flip" means. it means buying generic assets and re-selling them with minimal changes or additions, "flipping" them for a profit

Or do like Minecraft and don't put a ton of resources into the graphics of a game. People probably wouldn't care if the graphics aren't pushing the limits of what computers can do visually. I am still satisfied with the graphics of Halo 3 to this day and I play on a high end machine, which makes me picky in terms of graphics.

Games are easier to make then ever. Evident by the booming indie and AA markets. Random Chinese devs with little experience just dropped black myth Games are only harder to make if you’re chasing somthing unobtainable which all these companies are. But that’s their choice. This idea that consumers only want the biggest games with the most advanced graphics is just obviously not true. The largest games on the market are small or started as indie games or don’t have much in terms of graphical and actor performances. They make these large games because they think it’ll make them the most money. That they’re choice yet it’s framed as a necessity and as if we are the cause. No consumers will happily buy AA games. Yeah it may not a Trillion dollars. But it will net profit. The biggest issue in the games industry is that none of these companies know what they’re doing. They don’t have media experience and they’re hiring managers and executives from outside of media. They’re also adopting corporate structures that simply do not work in a creative environment. Further they’re doing things like hiring college grads but the truth is that good artists do not come from college. Most of the these college people don’t have experience and are stringent in their abilities because theyre coming from a pipeline. And I’m not hating on college people, they can learn to become well rounded. Many do. But a college grad who gets hired at Ubisoft will never become well rounded and will instead have a stilted and stringent institutional way of being that isn’t conducive to creativity or game design. Game design requires “jack of all trades” types of people. Yes you need specialists, but everyone needs to be able to dabble in everything. The fallout creator talks about this on his TH-cam channel. How devs today aren’t multi faceted and how they refuse to do simple work and instead rely on a slow moving bureaucratic corporate structure. In the end, companies who produce quality are going to usurp these bad studios. Maybe they’ll be bought out. Maybe these studios will learn how to manage media. Who can say

2:54 It won’t matter we can cope but 343 is full of “ideas guys” not actual visionaries like Bungie so they just have a dartboard way of developing Halo with 343. Nothing of substance looking at bright lights or floating objects with no real story.

done with em

What also drives me nuts is that it gets easier and easier to make games as time goes on, but all this money and talent gets squandered on garbage

They are definitely overspending on their development budgets. Back in the day they made lemons out of lemonade when they had to work with a small budget.

I am not at all surprised because I do 343 has been mismanaged for years and with the recent layoffs that happened in 2023 not that long ago. It looks like Xbox and Halo are gonna completely die.

Absolutely, it’s fun and there’s a ton of game modes and I can get into a match very quickly. It’s one of my go to multiplayer games even though I’m more of a single player rpg gamer

checked out the moment I heard capture the flag is atrocious. that is not even a hot take its a trash one

This is not infection. Its just some dumb brute Ai bullshit. Infection died long time ago in halo reach... This is not infection

The skilled based matchaking and hidden mmr system is really dragging this game for me

Well obviously you never played any other of their games. They just recycled older stuff from other games.

It's waaay too late for a review. Nice try. 😉

It doesn't even play like a Halo game. Feels nothing like Halo. And they removed all the og guns "For balance purposes" losd of bs. I don't like any of 343s "halos"

Good review, although I do think the price for Shattered Space is a bit steep

I don't like that the Bandit Evo is basically the dmr with a scope. We wouldn't call the battle rifle BR75 Evo

The ordinance drops made sense since it's a Halo thing but I felt like the perk option made gameplay unbalanced. It would be nice to have it set up like Reaches multiplayer where we can choose a weapon and armor abilities to loadout with

"The best your gonna get here is a mc chicken 😂"

This is not halo bro

Fr my friend denis still thinks is good😂😂😂😂

Halo 3 and reach are better than infinite

undeniable factual evidence

This game sucks ass! Poor hit detection, boring BTB, and gay ass costumes

I know you didn’t just say Halo Wars 1-2 are the same thing as reading comics and novels, while you’re wearing cat ears on your spartan 😂 look in the mirror no real self respecting spartan would dress like a furry

The Forunners shouldn've remained Human, and Halo 4 shouldve been about a Banished style faction finding Requiem and trying to use the composer as revenge on Humanity.

Just downloaded it and played 4 games on PC.. the MCC shits all over this garbage unfortunately it's just not as active.

"Is it worth to play a game that exploits it's fans and devs who destroy the franchise and spit on their customers in 2024?" "Is it worth to have a stockholmsyndrome relationship with this garbage game in 2024?" No, grow a fcckin spine.

Quick, straight to the point, and a fair/balanced review. I can appreciate this video. Gave you a sub as fellow smaller video game related content creator. Keep up the good work. 🙏

Game is terrible. Both campaign and the multiplayer. Not worth anyone's time.

I mean, there's always Splitgate, which is pretty much classic Halo but with portals... I guess if anyone's interested I could edit this comment and leave an invite code to give a leg up when you join

Halo Finite is in fact not worth the money

Nein 0:19

Eh, on your last point, game devs have a horrible issue with game optimization for pc, vs PCs not able to handle new games. I’ve upgraded my pc several times in the last year and only after my favorite games devs decide to work on optimization did I see the fruit of my upgrades. Other than that good vid

Them sony ponys are gonna be mad

You really believe this is their best game in nearly 20 years?

the issue is and always has been frank o conner when it comes to halos writing. he is so petty and inconsistent with even his own writing that he couldnt commit and settle on a single idea that could just stay in the games so he had to write books and random media posts to justify his own writing.

Honestly.. it just makes me think: Why isn't Escharum just Atriox? It would change literally nothing in the story. We did not need Escharum whatsoever. All he does is trash talk you. Atriox was literally the one who "killed" Chief. It would make more sense for Atriox to be in Escharum's role and trash talk Chief instead of this weird limbo of if he's dead or not. Chief survived somehow, so Atriox wants to finish the job. HW2 was about introducing Atriox. Infinite should have been about you killing him. He killed you - or he thought he did - so you're getting payback. Instead of being killed off-screen.. oh wait, he isn't... oh wait he is.. oh wait.. you get the picture. Regret, Mercy, and Tartarus were introduced in H2 and killed off in the exact same game, and they're still iconic villains. Even Truth was supposed to die originally in H2. Atriox would have had HW2 AND Infinite. Stop treating Atriox like he's Thanos, 343, please. It's ridiculous. Even Marvel had the decency to kill him off in Endgame for good after he got his proper introduction in Infinity War. I feel like 343 is afraid of it's own fanboys. They love Atriox like no tomorrow. They're more afraid of their own fans than they are towards Bungie fans. Bungie fans just want the stories to feel like Halo again. I know I do. HW2 was the closest we ever got from 343, but even then 343 just can't help themselves with stupid decisions they force into that story like attempts to powercreep the Covenant with the Banished by saying they "never even got close" to defeating the Banished even though they drove humanity to near-extinction, literally just like Infinite where they say the Endless is "worse than the Flood" for just no reason whatsoever (not even joking). Disney Star Wars does the exact same thing with the First/Final Order and it's infuriating. This is not DBZ you guys! Or that stupid ending of Anders coming across a Guardian because they were obsessed with their generic AI uprising story. We still have no idea what happened to her by the way. Great storytelling, 343! Halo has literally become as bad as modern WoW lore in how it handles its stories, but they really just need to stop trying to one-up Bungie for starters. It just comes across as desperate and pathetic. I hate this obsession of trans-media. It has killed franchises, and Halo is no exception

I am graced. Good points for sure. I'm still a bit surprised that all of the points of interest are just the same old thing over and over. I feel like if they dropped an update that only consisted of nothing more than a butt load of POI variety, then the game would instantly be amazing. Todd should just say "For the next 4 months, we're going to dedicate all our efforts to POIs. Whatever you were doing before is on hold and you're going to assist the POI teams. We need more variety, more creativity, so we're going to have 4 separate teams just building POIs. To the team leaders, get creative. Go Ham. Go nuts. To the people under them, bring up any and all ideas that you think is cool as hell to your leads."

The books that have come out the past few years, despite being very good books and well written, don't even answer some of the questions we still have.

Good points 👍

They'll just "fix it" like any other major franchise by "adding in" a multiverse.

The thing about reading the books being crucial to the story is that it only applied to H4. H5 and Infinite are just complete asspull stories and have little to no connections to the books that had released before them. Heck H5 wasn't even related to the *promotional material* they made for it. All the books that explain the missing information in H5 and Infinite released after those games.

says the person that has to spend 900 for the new ps6 or xbox 4k every 6 years and has a cough cough 30 FPS LOCK cough cough and pc players and UPGRADE there build and dont have to get a NEW xbox/ps when they want more fps🤣

just say your broke 🤷‍♂🤷‍♂
