@patrician_tv Standard weapon durability isn't the problem. Its when it becomes weapons as ammunition. New Legend of Zelda's make their weapon durability so low that activities that rewards weapons become wastes of time. Then there's games where its just not relevant. Rarely is it balanced.
Everyone yaps about how game companies deserve to be in ruins and that they're going to fire people for making nothing but shit for the past decade, but its rarely the people that are actually responsible for the that crap that actually lose their jobs. https://t.co/BmYG97KssX
Like okay, this is Larian the "We don't know what friendship is" studio. Because every god damn time I try to be nice or friendly I end up getting porked by my companions. The Epitome of a relationship is not sex, nor is that for a friendship. They DO need to diversify their relationships.
Less Romance, preferably no Romance. It often feels forced and Reddit-esque. Focus on strong relationships of brotherhood and camaraderie.
It's what made the Lord of the Rings or still does anyway. Brotherhood, Love. Love does not equate to sex, it's something beyond the baseness.
I guess I just want substance, in my companion characters ya know.
False, Bungie and Ensemble Studios devs claim they were human.
The book that retconnd them was written in collaboration with 343 not bungie.
As they had entirely different plans on what to do with the setting, one of the reasons Bungie and Ensemble studios rebelled against Microsoft. Microsoft did not respect the vision of the ips they own.
It's a universal constant across almost every ip under their umbrella.
Look at the state of Halo, or Gears. Almost everything is afflicted with the same incompetence.
The Halo TV show was merely that manifestation reaching a new height.
They don't care about halo. They are just greedy corpos. It's a philosophical development issue.
When you have a company that cares you can see the passion the soul dripping from the project.
Right now halo is a desolate wasteland devoid of any memorable quality. Just triple a slop.
