Last week's game: Dragon Age Origins

Final Score: (10*3+9*5+8*18+7*5+6*8+5*2+4*1+3*1+2*1+1*2)/(3+5+18+8+2+1+1+1+1+2) = 7.69

Because @RWBYGayPride didn't bother to calculate the scores for the games that have been posted since my last thread, I've included the calculations for their scores below.

Warthunder: (10*1+9*0+8*0+7*7+6*2+5*2+4*3+3*1+2*1+1*10)/(1+0+0+7+2+2+3+1+1+10) = 3.63 :marseysalat:

Crusader Kings 3: (10*1+9*2+8*9+7*15+6*5+5*1+4*0+3*0+2*0+1*3)/(1+2+9+15+5+1+0+0+0+3) = 6.75

Game to Discuss?

This week, let's discuss Halo Your roll (1-3): 1 Please give your r-slurred fanboy cope about why this game was good, how Bungie isn't a trash developer, why 343 ruined the franchise etc etc etc... below in the pinned comment.

Idk Halo always felt kinda mid to me.

Yay SciFi FPS #5982

The only reason people remember Halo is because it was the only playable shooter on Xbox.

It was fun for it's time and it was a pretty fun game to play with friends too, whether doing online or campaign co-op

Bungie figured out the formula for making a good FPS you could play with a controller. Everything before handled it poorly, everything after at least took a couple of things from it. I liked the world and the lore, which used to be another of Bungie's strong suits. It doesn't hold up as well as one would hope though, and 343 have done their best to piss on its legacy.

That, slower enemies, less insane weapon loadouts. Weapon switching a huge arsenal with a d-pad is a pain in the butt.

343 hasn't pissed on their legacy. Honestly the biggest issue I have with them is that they didn't get that coop and forge were crucial parts of the already aging formula. But idgaf about the story or lore in these games, I never played the campaigns alone until I tried infinite's for like 2 hours.

Halo 4 and infinite really aren't that much worse than Reach. All of them just made me want to go back to Halo 3. 343 gets shit on for being unable to do the same thing Bungie knew they couldn't do: follow up and build on halo 3. If they'd have kept the IP their next game would've still been Destiny but using the Halo IP.

Having working, kinda balanced vehicles was also relatively novel in an FPS for the time.

Classic game. I always wanted to replay the opening battle and the Silent Cartographer mission. The developers used creative sci-fi weapons and species to give every enemy an exaggerated, defined feel that you're not going to get in a generic military shooter. It was great having NPC squadmates (and it helps sell the spooky vibes when they dry up).

On the flip side, the copy/paste environments get REALLY old, and I always found it pretty easy to get turned around in certain parts. The Flood also just aren't really fun to fight, though I guess they're supposed to be kind of stressful. Also Cortana isn't hot in this one :marseycoomer3:

I never owned a 360, so I mostly remember 3 as a wacky party game I played at other people's houses.

As annoying as it could be to die to missiles or splattering, it was hilarious to do to other people, and it felt like you could still have fun even if you weren't very good. This is something most shooters of that era got wrong imo

Finally, a game I have played in one of these threads.

It's a good shooter. I played it for the first time two years ago on the second hardest difficulty I think, or the hardest, not sure. Had fun, was challenging but not bullshit (Halo 2 on the other hand...). I would say it holds up still, but it's good. Last level is kind of lame though, despite a good setting.

Halo was a good and groundbreaking game. It's funny to see PCtards struggle to wrap their heads around why it was popular.

Great game. Loved it when I first played it on PC in the early 2000s. Then learned about how it was missing tons of things from Xbox version. Glad they added most of it back in the MCC.

The more I think about Halo, the more I realize that people's memories of the game are mostly associated with playing with friends, playing together locally, and not the hare-brained story or the terribly slow controls. On its own, Halo is hardly something worth talking about (especially these days), but those memories might as well last forever. I mean, don't you know someone IRL who still claims to be the best Halo player despite being pisslow? 2001 was a stacked year in hindsight and Halo ultimately owned the casual audience until cod took over. 7/10

this is an interesting take, though I think @Enward_Sahir was onto something in his reply

Even with the clunky things that come with ITS time, still better than any of 343 slop.
