They really ruined Halo. I loved Halo so much bros. I used to play it with my older brother before he an heroed. He got me into it with combat evolved.
Sorry about your brother, anon. Your post made me go hang out with my little bro and play some vidya with him for a little bit. And yeah, they’ve somehow made an ip as huge as halo into a complete joke, it’s pretty impressive.
they aren't even that bad compared to most game companies in the past few years. at least they can deliver a playable game it's just painfully mediocre.
jagex and ggg have the best games in the genre, so you are mixing up development with your personal Black personisms.
Bethesda and modern bioware are fricking giga shit 100% fact.
I should have added Riot as well. They all have 1 game they inherited 10+ years ago that makes 100% of their revenue. Jagex in particular has tried to make many non-Runescape games and every one of them has crashed and burned. The only reason Runescape is successful is because the Gowers made a kickass foundation 20 years ago. As a developer Jagex is disgraceful.
GGG is less worse, but they can't go 3 months without breaking their game and they exist in a permanent state of crunch which is a symptom of incompetent management. I still remember the patch they switched their sound library to FMOD and it hard crashed people's sound cards because of how shit their implementation code was.
I'll always have love for the Bungie era. I still buy some of the action figures. Didn't even bother buying infinite. Game passed the campaign. No hope. Phil gave up and said great games won't fix Xbox woes.
You are braindead. They have killed an entire franchise so big, that it was the mere selling point of the 360 within 3 games they produced.
Their capabilites are low indie tier game and not even good indie games, yet somehow get to develop AAA games.
Fricking infuriates me to no end that there are STILL gamebreaking bugs that not only weren’t in the original games, but have been present for over 5 years now. About a month ago I went through odst again and the bug on kizingo boulevard where an enemy spawns in an unreachable position is STILL fricking present. Absolutely mindboggling that these morons still have control over one of the biggest and most iconic IPs in gaming history. I say it in every halo thread I see, 343 employees and their fans should be brutally tortured to death
Other than id there isn't a single studio here that made a game that was relevant in the last decade. The only title here that wasn't memory holed was FO4 but only because of how shit it was.
Uhh it’s clearly Nintedo? Like, do you even watch Charlie?

They are the absolute WORST company, why can’t they be cool like Rockstar or Sony?
Ironically enough..
Destiny and Destiny 2 have been abject failures and the only people who have been able to stomach it are genuinely drones on par with blizzard and bethesda fans.
>Destiny and Destiny 2 have been abject failures
This isn't true in the slightest lmao. Both games have been massive money printers.
Form your perspectives through reason and evidence, anon. Don't just curate your ideal version of reality.
But not enough so they miss 45% revenue targets. Firing veteran staff along with inclusivity deflection shields and community managers to save the higher up’s asses; that they will 100% be owned by sony if they fail to reach future profits with TFS and 3 other live services games isnt a good sign for a money printer
They made best cortana, and Halo 4 in general had good designs, which is most of what matters.
Degenerate devs, who are infinately worse:
Bungie
Valve
Rockstar
Sony
Nintendo
Capcom
Remedy
Bethesda
Epic
There are plenty and not worth talking about.
If 343 made a sequel to 4 about Cheif piecing Cortana back together i'd play it. 5 could have been good, but I don't like poop. Lowering animation frames and such for a higher framerate is probably a good thing. Makes aiming easier. But res is too high.
As I understand it 5 is about MC thought to have gone rogue and become a threat.
That would be cool if it was due to risking servers and ships to restore cortana.
Infinate seems to be a backstory. Or something. Looks fricking stupid and is a step back.
TLDR Inlike 343, they should not listen to critics and their pathetic patrons, spend all their time on making good designs to see. Hiring people who make great functional looking hardware like combat suits, mechs, buildings etc. Use Halo or some game as a showcase of them. Make games about such stuff put to use.
MS kind of sucks though. Killed off Lionhead, introduced 480p and 720p. And probably forces Direct x on their consoles, which don't even include windows.
Controllers suck too.
Hope they don't kill off 343, though putting Infinity Ward to work in making a Halo could turn out well. Be cool for all the studios they aquired to work on one good game at a time, or add to games untill they are finished.
Halo became a good concept with 4. Before that it was sold on advertising and wasn't worth your time. Copy paste everything. Bland barren world. No effort. No results.
Didn’t play 4 but I liked 5 and got onyx. The built in spartan dodge was nice and if they never added sprint 343 would be called master devs. Infinites good too now but I can’t stand the ranked matchmaking, too many subhumans now but that’s just a symptom of the times
>Fire the girlboss woman >Fire inclusivity hires (roughly half the company) >Move a dude who loves the games and has passion for them to the helm >The game slowly but steadely improves
Uh, funny how that works.
I don't have hopes for Infinite, I don't think it can be saved so far into its live. But I'll allow myself to feel just a modicum of hope for the next one.
>>The game slowly but steadely improves
All the things thay have addded were already being made since release, it's not like they suddenly decided to make them after Bonnie and her goons left
luckily the average Gankertards are too young and dumb to remember me as unlike their older siblings my next game will blow their mind with all the good press hype by the way it will be with nfts loaded redditors will flood the boards for me for FREE [spoiler/]
Kojambo was a million times worse than him, at least he was involved in some great games in the past, and he was pretty great at managing teams.
Kojimbo only had moronic ideas and pretended to be a Hollywood director and never made a good game. If you think any MGS is good you are the cancer killing vidya
not even close, OP.
These motherfrickers managed to frick up a series that has NO COMPETITORS.
We seriously have to consider nuking canada, what a fricking waste.
Meh it's not really their fault, they were owned by THQ which had massive financial problems and finally went bankrupt in 2013. I played the shit out of Dawn of War and Company of Heroes.
I'm talking about after they got bought by SEGA, literally every game they made sucked (coh2 was only okay after 6 years of them trying to fix it, and they started developing still under THQ).
But relic now is completely gone to the shitters, full of women and trannies
Halo 4 upset people because it was true to the books.
Halo 5 upset people because it had amazing multiplayer, that bungiefans and nostalgiagays were to old and decrepit to competently play. crushed by the skillgap.
Halo Infinite is Halo 3 2, and people realized how fricking shit that game actually was.
Halo 4 upset people because they raped the artstyle to hell and back
Halo 5 upset people because they raped the artstyle back to hell again
Halo infinite upset people for more reasons than my keyboard would survive typing out
and all 3 of them because of sprint
>super sci-fi techy skinsuits with pieces of metal slapped onto it rather than armor that was basically a wearable tank . >The departure from military industrial aesthetic with the occasional railgun or Gaussgun in favor of basic b***h sci-fi designs >Designs becoming more overcomplicated and ugly >Basically changing shit that really didn't need to be changed purely for the sake of changing them. >Overtly detailed (Yes this is a bad thing)
You cannot fricking tell me that the forerunner designs in 4 and 5 were anything but shit.
I honestly don't know who I hate more, 343 or nu-Bungie. 343's incompetence has been well-documented in the thread already. But Destiny 2 managed to be one of the few games that I actually passionatly hate.
I went in expecting a cool campaign with Bungie's trademark amazing encounter and level design. Massive disappointment, nothing in the campaign measured up to their Halo design (the raid was cool though).
The "live service" feature implementation was terrible - shoving paid loot boxes in your face and then expecting you to grind for time-gated weekly free loot boxes to hit level cap.
New content implementation is incomprehensible. If you quit the game and come back, nothing is properly contextualized. New NPC characters just appear in the hub and expect you to know who they are and what they do.
They crippled the top-tier guns I grinded to make and had been keeping relevant with their gear feeding system when they reworked the gear attribute system.
Then they have audacity to delete the campaign I paid $60 for. Just strip it out of the game and make it unplayable. Nothing offered in compensation - I have to buy the DLCs or stick to shitty matchmaking modes to play anything.
Bungie's current layoff crisis is 100% deserved and I hope Sony absorbs and digests them completely.
Starfield was worse than Infinite.
Infinite wasn't very good but it had some semblance of care put into it and mexican bro moments reminded me of the original trilogy.
Yeah, Me.
Every western entertainment company. Yes, EVERY ONE.
youre implying that 343 is better than all those companies
They really ruined Halo. I loved Halo so much bros. I used to play it with my older brother before he an heroed. He got me into it with combat evolved.

Thanks anon. Last one I got to play with him was 4. Probably 343's best one and it had sexy Cortana at least. Glad you have a bro to game with.
Grim. I was hoping he didn't have to see 4

Has a studio ever taken a beloved franchise to such mediocrity as 343 has though?

True. Idk anything about bioware but you're track record supports this claim.

LOL
Probably not. Halo went from the #1 gaming franchise to shovel ware
I'll always have love for the Bungie era. I still buy some of the action figures. Didn't even bother buying infinite. Game passed the campaign. No hope. Phil gave up and said great games won't fix Xbox woes.
You are braindead. They have killed an entire franchise so big, that it was the mere selling point of the 360 within 3 games they produced.
Their capabilites are low indie tier game and not even good indie games, yet somehow get to develop AAA games.
The Master Chief Collection took years to be in a playable state and it's still not perfect.
1-3 aren't even positive let alone perfect. 4 at a higher framerate is the only thing it has to offer.
Fricking infuriates me to no end that there are STILL gamebreaking bugs that not only weren’t in the original games, but have been present for over 5 years now.

Game Freak are beholden to the Pokemon schedule, 343 had a blank cheque and 7 years to make a Halo game that was just okay at best
not even close. Gamefreak is AAA compared to 3v4 industries

Not bad developers per se. Just the money grubbing execs who told them to add P2W weapons.
>Not bad developers per se

>we accidentally made the patch using an older version of the game so the bugs we fixed in the older patch reappeared
At least they haven’t betrayed their fan base yet and their games are still good despite the flaws such as bugs and stuffs.
Bethesda
Yeah?
Starbound is one of the rare games where you can actively say that the game got worse with every single update.
those devs are such a fricking joke it's unreal
easy.
I wonder what they all have in common.
Other than id there isn't a single studio here that made a game that was relevant in the last decade. The only title here that wasn't memory holed was FO4 but only because of how shit it was.
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe
Halo fans on Ganker are delusional.
#1 Game? Halo 3 wasn't even on the top 5 selling Xbox 360 games.
Uhh it’s clearly Nintedo? Like, do you even watch Charlie?
