Don't you guys have phones? will live rent free in my head as one of the funniest on stage failures ever.

Word.

Borderlands 2 had my best game memories beating Vermivorous the Invincible with 3 friends, me playing as Maya. First of all getting it to spawn is tense.

Gay Tony died for this

It's going to get worse. Getting the people behind Fivem means it's going to go to the next level with VI. It's going to be Roblox meets the current GTA streaming RP stuff.

They made it into in A button simulator lol.

I only ever played DPP and BW/2 a long time ago, but I then happend to jump to SwSh when it came out and it literally became a live joke between my sibling watching me play to see how far we could go through the battles by only mashing the A button.

I think we made it to like between the 7th and 8th gym before I had to actually change my attack/pokemon using the c-stick.

Blizzard is a corpse being puppeted.

It's just Activision. Has been for years.

The Bungie Halo era games had problems, sure, but overall were a masterpiece of a series. Everything since then has been ok at best, and borderline insulting at worst.

So much retconning, characters with zero arc, contempt towards the fandom, and build up with no onscreen payoff.

From what Halo Studios has announced regarding Campaign Evolved, and how they've dug in their heels in response to fan feedback, I wish I were as hopeful as you.

In my opinion, Halo should have always remained a Bungie property with connections to the Marathon universe, and neither series should have ever been a live service game.

Halo

The games? Yeah, eh, one of these days I'd consider Infinite single player if it's like $10.

The series? I can't remember if people said Season 2 was...watchable...but that makes me sad...

I remember liking the books, though. The books were rad.

343 hasn't come close to knowing what the fuck they're doing

Wait, what’s wrong with Super Smash Bros? Is it just the DLC characters?

Pokopia is great, though it was made by the dragon quest builders team, not game freak.

Otherwise, can't argue

I bought FFXVI and both VII remake games on PS5 because I was still holding out hope that they could reignite the magic of the previous games. I mostly enjoyed them, but they didn't feel remotely like the Final Fantasy games of the past. XVI was more Game of Thrones than Final Fantasy, and the VII remake games were more XV/Kingdom Hearts than Final Fantasy.

I feel like the writing was on the wall as far back as X. There is very little variety in the combat, it's very much a hallway like XIII, the "world map" is a list of locations in the order you visited them, and there are multiple long stretches where you can't backtrack.

I've also tried playing Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey in the hopes that they would scratch that same itch, but I haven't been able to bring myself to commit to finishing them. I haven't played Fantasian, but I've heard mostly positive things about it.

Halo. We're never getting another real one.

Planetside 2 at its peak was such a cool and unique experience. Shame it's withering and dying
