I think you've summarized the biggest problem with Halo currently. Even if you enjoy the game, its one if those games you play for a while, maybe beat the campaign and then move into other games.
It just doesn't feel like a flagship title anymore. And if it wasn't for the Halo name it would be even more forgettable then it is now.
I was a big fan of the settlement building in Fallout 4. Was one of the mechanics that kept me coming back for later playthroughs and made the world feel less static and that I could actually have an impact on it. Especially instances like seeing one of the supply chain NPCs from one of my settlements walking around in the world.
I really hope they fix the case sensitivity on kbin soon.
There is at least a decent advantage in the flip phones of having the screen protected when the phone isn't in use. I could see them potentially becoming more popular over time if they are improved upon and become cheaper, if only for that reason.
Arm-chair babbling idiot who plays too much video games here, I am one hundred percent convinced that it has nothing to do with visual fidelity and everything to do with that asthmatic engine they've been dragging since Morrowind.
Code doesn't go bad with time, that's not really how it works. And game engines tend to be a Ship of Theseus situation, where just because it's still the same "engine" in theory, doesn't mean that large parts (or all of it), haven't eventually been replaced or refactored over the years.
Unreal Engine has been around for 30 years at this point, would you also consider that an "asthmatic engine"?
Scaling up as a game developer (or any software company) is hard, but not "it takes a decade and half a billion dollars" hard.
Is this the part where I refer to people worried about pre-orders as "basement dwelling losers having nothing in their lives worth caring about other than whether other people pre-order games" and then we trade insults for a few comments trying to get the last word until one of us gets bored?
I mean, that's what we would do on Reddit, but not sure if that's the case around these parts.
Always important to remember that lots of opinions people are posting online are just things they read somewhere and are repeating.
The people that preorder clearly aren’t listening
Or they are listening and just don't care.
Why are people preordering a DIGITAL, BETHESDA game?! It’s still the Creation Engine (Creation Engine 2 so hopefully they fixed it!) so it’s probably gonna be a buggy mess at release.
Unlike many online gaming communities, there are many people in the world that enjoy playing video games. So, when they see a game that looks fun to play, they buy it or pre-order it.
Kingdom Come is a solid game, but it's also still a very narrow game compared to Skyrim. You play as a specific character and the "sandbox" nature of the game is much more limited.
It's more like the Witcher where you can roleplay slight variations on one person, rather than Skyrim where you can role-play as a vast array of potential characters.
The title feels a bit off. I doubt very many of the subreddits have actually "relocated". As the site itself states, these are just lists of alternatives that provide topics that match existing subreddits.
Most of the subreddits mentioned are still going to be active (especially in comparison to their alternatives) for the foreseeable future.
