     @coolboymew @ooignignoktoo The main story is okay, not exceptional or great just okay. Well designed levels are better than open world.
     
     Multiplayer is horrible, at launch it was only two game modes and like what 5 maps total?
     
     Halo 5's multiplayer had way more to it than infinite which felt like the beta the released with no new features

     @coolboymew Given that the multiplayer is free, you're buying the campaign, which is the worst in the series. They could pay me a million bucks to play that campaign and I'd still feel scammed.

     @Shadowman311 @coolboymew Are you enjoying the story events where some accent you can't quite place says "I'm a spartan. You're a spartan. Go play multiplayer"? Those scenes are right up there with "To give the Covenant back their bomb."

     @coolboymew Gameplay wise I had fun with the campaign the story was kinda ehh. The real problem is once you beat the game there isn't much post game content to play. With that said it's the easiest Halo title to date to beat on LASO ( legendary all skulls on ) because the game allows the infinite ammo skull and you can exploit the tank gun you can get early in the game. It was supposed to get removed but I think they brought it back after enough people complained.

     There was a photo comparison posted some time ago. As you'd expect old Bungie was ebil White males, and the current team is mostly womxn with blue and pink hair. I can't find that old post, but here's a pic of the 343 team for you.

     @Godcast @coolboymew @Shadowman311 That's increasingly been the case since everything after ODST and Reach. The vidya industry doesn't have the creative types that it had in the early 2000s. I've always wondered if jews held off looting and subverting the industry during those early years because America was fighting for Israel during that time.
     
     EDIT - I'd be interested to look at the demographics of bungie when they made the first Halo and compare it to the 343 team that made Infinite, as well as the bungie team that made the Destiny games. I think that will tell us what happened

     @coolboymew The biggest issue with infinite is the multiplayer was rushed and they fixed problems a little bit too late. The game could've been huge had they really took an effort to work on it but 343i had incompeteent management *cough* Bonnie Ross *cough* who hated fans of the IP and tried to shit on it every chance she could.

     They're there. And working (to some extent.) It's just that turning out the exact same game with a slightly different coat of paint every year has a better RoI than putting out something Yoko Taro or Hideo Kojina spent 10 years and 8 figures making.

     @Nou @Godcast @Shadowman311 @mmmfeet yes, more or less. The issue is that the western AAA industry is more or less once again more product by committee, so there's no real artists or vision behind the stuff because there's too many cooks

     @ChristiJunior @Godcast @Nou @Shadowman311 @mmmfeet definitively one of the man I had in mind. Meanwhile, Japan can push big budget shit but still have a creator at the helm product. Xenoblade, the MGS series, hell, for all the "La creatividad" memes I make about Kojima, Death Stranding is an AAA game that's VERY creator driven
     
     The issue is that all the actual great creators in the west are now highers ups in AAA, are lost within the "games by committee" garbage or are extreme imbeciles ideologues like Neil Druckmann or big pub supported "muh too deep for you indie game about mental health"

There are so many more qualified, more talented and more passionate White men being passed over in order to achieve this level of Diversishit that it boggles the mind.

     I'm with you. I'm tired of most big new games being multiplayer. I understand they're aiming for player generated content, subscriptions, whatever. But I just want good (non-pozzed) PVE content without retards spoiling the experience.

     @Nou @Godcast @mmmfeet @coolboymew @Shadowman311 The exo "body" he was in is replaceable, by my current understanding of lore, his consciousness and ghost aren't. To retcon that somehow would remove any stakes from the in universe concept of character death.

     @Godcast @mmmfeet @coolboymew @Shadowman311 For a game that already had a serious comic book style problem with "does death mean anything", bringing back cayde in any real way seems outrageously stupid to me.
     
     Although I haven't ruled out it basically being a cameo in a dream sequence or something else that is a gigantic juhbait of the entire player base.

     @Robert_Edwardly @Godcast @mmmfeet @coolboymew @Shadowman311 Yeah. That was my thinking.
     I guess maybe "Vex time travel shenanigans allowed us to get back to a point where we found a backup of his consciousness" or else just bulling a Cayde 4 or 5 out of the Infinite Forest is feasible.
     But I really don't want to give these hacks any ideas.
