Milking a completely dead franchise for money from kids (because realistically the only people stupid enough to buy the shit cosmetics are children) in a singleplayer game is hilariously 343/Microsoft. At this point Halo should die, they’re clearly struggling to come up with anything new, retconning established lore left and right, can’t maintain a pro scene, can’t release feature complete games, solely rely on the community for maps and game modes, outsource development, chase trends poorly, and when they do take steps in the right direction a la Infinite, its like 2 years post-launch, and everyone has already left. Being optimistic about Halo in the current year is sheer stupidity, especially if you experienced any of the OG games by Bungie.
@GhostOfSparta1_ Just accept and consume product, must consume product, who cares if the development was outsourced or if they’re charging you for skins despite saying they wouldn’t just keep consuming good boy
@HiddenXperia@Turbofurby Its actually not the classic Xbox skin, they’ve again bunked it and used the low-poly PC port one, rather than OG Xbox (apparently fixed on MCC)
I love when ppl whip out doom eternals millenial unicorn skins as a defense as if that wasnt in a content rich, anticipated and well recieved new release - not the second outsourced attempt at remaking half of a 25 year old game
I understand your Microsoft overlords are the ones most likely pushing the skins thing in the CE remake, but I’m genuinely concerned because they not only are immersion breaking (I get it they’re optional), they look awful. Resources dedicated to selling slop could be allocated elsewhere, and appeasing your real fan base is how you’ll make money. Your community is entirely too small to milk microtransactions from because of the lost faith garnered by 343s Halo releases. Just strange direction and I’d genuinely suggest moving forward from whoever is telling you this will work. We just want a good game feature complete for once, already not looking hot with no multiplayer in the remaster.
@dazztrazak@Electro_Voice I’m so stoked for the big boy tier list 😂 such a funny concept. I like the logi opticals, but the dang coating peeling makes me sad. I’m almost positive the coating is different on my SS
