Doesn’t really matter because it still suffers from lack of tactile buttons. Trying to play with a touchscreen that offers no actual feedback for its buttons is an awful experience, especially for the crimes against humanity one must commit to press the shoulder buttons.

By “turning America into an unsafe place” do you mean to accuse the Democrats, one of which is behind this?

Nah, they were new bugs, not ones present in the original game. Bugs in the original graphics mode that made some parts too dark and others too bright, for example. Or the wrong texture being used on the wrong surface. That kind of thing.

I don’t mind if bugs from the original release are left in there. IMO, if it was part of the experience back when the game was new and was never fixed, then unless its some egregious error that could brick your console or PC, I think it should be left in exactly as it was. But new bugs that were only present in the Anniversary and later MCC releases, that’s just embarrassing for 343/Halo Studios.

Bugs, for one. So many, many bugs. Bugs that remained unfixed for years.

Also, graphics. I don’t mean fidelity, because fidelitywise they were pretty good for the time. I mean the complete change in art style. Anything forerunner became riddled with lines that made the designs overly busy. The reuse of Reach assets instead of actually remaking the assets to match the original game. Its like at that point, are they even remastering the game? Not to mention how many changes to the environment models were inaccurate enough to cause players to try to shoot through or walk through invisible collision geometry of the original game.

Its so unfortunate that 343 messed up CE Anniversary so badly. But at least they did a lot better with Halo 2 Anniversary (though that is also not without its issues).

Now with a rebrand to Halo Studios, which was 100% caused by their poor stewardship of the series and the ruining of their own reputation beyond redemption, 343 will have to super-over-deliver with whatever they come out with next.

And I pray it is not a CE Remake. They messed it up already once before, just leave it alone and do something different with Halo. Make ODST 2 or some new story about a new Spartan entirely, I am tired of my favorite characters and stories being butchered these days.

Game should be free by now. Who is going to buy this knowing its servers will be shut down sometime in the near future?

I love Elden Ring and the SotE DLC, but Elden Ring should not be elligible for GOTY again. The only reason I can see this is that Geoff wants a redo for Miyazaki after the “reformed Jewish Rabi Joe Biden” fiasco. So if this is the case the SotE will probably get awarded GotY, despite my feeling that it should not qualify for that.

Nintendo is still figuring out how to send emails, so I am doubtful on that one.

World at War was the best one, what do you mean?

Though I stopped at WaW, then played Advanced Warfare (which was cool I guess), Infinite (which I actually really liked), and WW2 (which was honestly pretty bad especially by comparison to WaW).

People are offering to pay as a hyperbole to try to tell Activision how much they want to disable the skins. Nobody actually is willing to pay extra for that. Its like dangling a carrot in front of a corporations face.

“We want to do X so badly, we are willing to pay for it,” which translates to " We want to do X so badly, we are willing to do the last possible option that we want in order to be able to do X."

Is it stealing though? Theft, as it is legally defined, requires depriving the original owner of the thing you are stealing. Stealing a car for example, means the owner cannot drive the car since you have it.

If you could take someone else’s car, but they still have access to their car as if it was never taken, is that really stealing?

Disney’s Aladdin

TMNT Turtles in Time

Stargate

All equally good to me.

Good. I heard this version was pretty faithful to the original and did not opt to censor anything from the original.

That is how games that are remastered or remade should be done: as faithful as possible to the original with the absolute minimal changes necessary.

If developers want to have a remade story that makes a lot of changes, then include it as an alternate mode. As long as the original is faithfully recreated, I have no problem trying out a new way to play. But only including the new way to play rubs me the wrong way. Its like someone in development said “I know better than the original team, and my ‘better’ version is the only one people will get to play.” I steer clear of those.

Resident Evil Deadly Silence did this, where it had its own “Rebirth Mode,” along with “Classic Mode.” Literally all remakes and remasters should have this.

Of course we are using upscaling to mask poor performance at native 1080p. Why did I expect anything different?

I have used it. Played Metroid Prime 3, which is probably the best implementation of motion controls by far in any game.

I still would prefer using a normal controller with no motion controls. I would really prefer a trackball on a controller, but that likely won’t happen.

I would prefer if gyros and accelerometers die off in controllers for gaming. Tilting and shaking the controller is not something I have ever enjoyed, except when the controller is a light gun for a game like Time Crisis or Silent Hill The Arcade.

Too bad its an extraction shooter and will die like the rest.

I would have bought this back when it was a 16 player coop PvE game. Now I won’t touch it wearing a hazmat suit.

OG? This isn’t a tower defense style mode, so how is it OG? New Wave OG?

That seems like a lot of RAM. I mean, I have 32GB, but it still seems on the high side.

I will try it as long as it doesn’t require a PSN account. I enjoy Shift Up’s other game, arcade shooter Goddess of Victory NIKKE, so I am curious to see their other forrays into gaming.
