yeah, is all the actual gameplay talk in the community forum these days? i feel like it's all news/industry talk in the main forum these days. I go to fucking gamefaqs for gameplay talk.

To speak for the Halo shit, yes. The OTs in Gaming Side are always awash of fucking stupidity even if they do talk about gameplay. Everyone wants some carrot on a stick CoD clone.

You'll also get less kiss assing in the community threads. Of course since people found out we had devs in ours every once and a while some brown nosing little shit comes in to tell us how to post.

Haven't touched Halo multiplayer since H3, since I didn't have a working Xbox the past few years until last month. What did they fuck up with H4?

Oh god where to start. Well basically they decided to take Reach a step further and not only have paper, rock, scissors nonsense with loadouts but they gimped shit you could do in previous games in order for you to select them as various personalized options. For instance you cannot pick up nades anymore, you have to pick "resupply" or whatever the fuck it's called in the menu to be able to do so. They also added flinch (you get shot it's harder to fire back), random weapon drops (ordinances), personal weapon drops (for when you hit a certain amount of kills or whatever) and shit like camo isn't a pick up on the map. I basically stopped playing after dealing with a team full of camo snipers.

Oh and there is promethean vision which gives you the ability to see through walls and instant respawns with slow shield recharges. So basically people can just respawn on top of your ass after a battle, dash over to you and take vengeance.

this place has an overly zealous affiliation with that machine. sure, it's a nice little piece of kit, but calling its marketplace situation "doomed" would actually be complimentary. it's past doomed. it is not facing doom, it is has arrived at doom. it will remain in a state of doom until the universe is consumed by oblivion.

Interesting info since i've been hearing around that Halo 4 multiplayer isn't that good.

I'm just in it for single player tbh.

I should correct something, you can pick up nades that are drops on the map but not off dead bodies unless you have resupply. Still, dumb.

I thought the single-player campaign was amazing, but I haven't gone online with it yet. I still think the reason Bungie or 343 have never just given us Halo CE online multiplayer is that that's all anyone would ever play if they did. Every change they've made to Halo CE multiplayer, IMO, has just made things worse. I laughed my ass off when I read that Halo CE Anniversary used the Reach multiplayer component.

They wanted more personalized stuff this time around. Me thinks they don't realize what made Halo special in regards to other FPSes.

Nope. And there's other shit like that in game. Want a decent shield recharge? Gotta pick it in the menu. Want a decent amount of ammo or hold more? Gotta pick it in the menu. They basically gimped your ass so that you could "personalize" your strengths. Fuckin' stupid.

MIMIC · « **Reply #35003 on:** December 25, 2012, 09:12:53 PM »

I like Halo 4

(the multiplayer, anyway). I hate the horrible UI (like the stupid player cards they use during match-making) and the campaign. Maybe I like Halo 4 so much because of how much I hated Reach. It was for opposite reasons: I loved the campaign, hated multiplayer. Armor locking? WTF. Once I got the achievements, I shelved that game permanently.

Halo 4 IS a lot like COD these days (I don't play it, I just watch my brother). But you get used to it; Reach was basically the prelude to all of this. Once you get all of the customizations, it's pretty fun.

Halo 3 was perfect though. None of the nonsense.....just good ol' fashioned killing

Shadow Mod · « **Reply #35004 on:** December 25, 2012, 09:21:28 PM »

Halo 4 is a piece of shit that wants to play like CoD but with shields. It's an exercise in fucking futility. If you're an exceptional player in Halos there's no point to this game for you given there's weapons that kill in one shot that people don't even have to aim properly with.

Karma I guess. Back in 2007-2008, Sfags were creating those threads all the time about 360. You had concern trolls saying "Well, after Gears of War 2 comes out, what's left for the 360?" Of course those threads devolved into circle jerks about Infamous and Killzone 2 and how the 360 was as good as dead once those AAA+ titles were released.

On my first GAF account, I used to argue about systems and stuff, but it's a losing battle. All it takes is the wrong mod browsing the thread while in a bad mood, and you're done for a month. I think one time I got banned for a month for saying that GT5's graphics didn't look much better than PGR4's; the comment was something like "You've been warned about trolling Sony before, next time is a perm."

But...that's true. Although both obviously look nothing like the misleading GIFs that get posted every graphics thread.

Again - it's a situation that people should NOT get themsevles into as both people found themselves in the following cul de sacs :

"I'm right, prove me wrong or i win"

and other than revealing "I wrote that engine" and getting fucked by their place of employment there is no way to progress the argument.

This is why games industry folks are retreating from GAF - gobshittery is a protected right, so games devs have actively kept away.

How can one get bothered by knock off soda? I drink Vons' Refreshe brand and it's cola is just as good as Coke. The lime version is slightly below Sprite. I save tons of money on these. The more knock offs, the better. Variety is the spice of diabetes.

To be fair, knock off soda is kinda weak in flavor compared to the name-brand stuff. It doesn't bother me if someone buys it for a party or something, but it's definitely something that can be "felt."

At the time, Evilore was fiercely protective of his little Sony ponies. I remember one of the GT5/Forza war threads ended up with a Sony employee or something getting banned and Evilore sat the board down for one of his little fireside talks. And reversed the ban. Of course.

They really should just make garbage dump threads for that like the Bish GT5/Forza 3-4 thread. Make it mod sanctioned you can "threadshit" in there but threadshitting with your console war opinions will get you banned elsewhere. Would stop some of the "Vita doomed" threads, I'd wager if it was "3DS vs Vita shit thread."

The iPhone is not the most user friendly device ever. In fact, "wow it was the most non user-friendly device ever."

So basically, he's dumber than most people's grandmas and parents who can operate iPhones with no problems.

People who scream and wail about spoilers ruin discussions.

I remember Che Chou (Turn 10 community manager at the time) constantly shitting up the Forza 3 thread in the run up to that game's release. You could not have an honest discussion about that game without him rushing in.

Well, looks like blame space was banned 2 weeks ago. Wonder if it is permanent.

No he's just saying it could take less steps. Which means it's easier to teach other people.

Seriously, this sentiment has really gotten out of hand.
I just tried out an iPhone for the first time, and wow it was the most non user-friendly device ever.
Oh, look, there's a wifi icon on the top of the screen, well, let's swipe it down and see what network I'm connected to.

"Nope. Of course it's not that obvious", the phone says.

Instead, I have to click on a "Settings"-icon, and navigate my way to Wifi settings.

What?

Total bullshit that an iDevice would somehow be easier to get into than, say, a Google Nexus. I let the owner of said iPhone play with my Galaxy Nexus, and she was amazed by how smooth and high-tech of a phone it was (the panorama feature was particularly impressive, as well as the way Android spotify was laid out in comparison to the iOS version). This holds true across the board from my short and unpleasant experience with the offending "smart"-phone - in comparison to Android the iPhone OS looks like something out of 2005.

Anyone else feel the same way?
It just baffles me that Apple products being more user friendly is such a widespread sentiment.
