@Ebab117@Mixmaster226 Yes. I agree. They are bad HALO games. But are they bad as standalone video GAMES?
Probably not.
If H4, H5, or Infinite were your entry to the franchise I would think you would enjoy the games.
Pinkchyu and the Goth House girls show off the $9 MILLION mansion that Drake bought for them to turn into the GOTH House, revealing that all four of them will be dropping content together.
“Goth girls do it better, so Drake put us in a goth house. He loves us.”
So here’s the thing about this prediction.
It’s never going to get retconned. Not after 4 mainline titles spanning across nearly a decade with an entire generation growing up having the 343 games their introduction to the franchise.
My honest prediction? Activision will probably create a new timeline for Halo similar to the Silver Timeline from the TV series.
As a fan since Combat Evolved, retconning everything after Halo 3 and starting fresh would immediately reignite my interest in Halo.
Unfortunately, I don’t think the corporate thought process will go there. And that’s a shame, because a true soft reboot after Halo 3 could be exactly what Halo needs to come back.
@Pattyfromtheno2@MillerDakotaJ You think AI has gotten better because people were not interested in it’s earlier iterations?
The result is what people strive for. Never gaslight yourself and others into thinking the journey matters more. You can make infinite promises that all lead to nothing meaningful
Stealing implies taking someone else’s composition without purchase and reproducing it.
AI output is not comparable to the art used for it’s training. Therefore it’s not theft.
When you use gen ai you are actively stealing from someone that got their hard work trained by ai so no I will not support people using ai generated assets in their games
@Pattyfromtheno2@MillerDakotaJ No its the same thing. You just measure value in the process, not in results. Which is a categorical error.
Bad ideas are bad and should not be valued.

It’s crazy that artists want money from the very people who turn to AI
Then turn around and act like they want nothing to do with you if you used AI even one time.
Normalize calling anti-AI artists bullies.
Normalize calling anti-AI artists gatekeepers.
Normalize calling anti-AI artists hypocrites.
Normalize calling anti-AI artists opportunists.
Normalize calling anti-AI artists grifters.
Normalize calling anti-AI artists harassers.
Normalize calling anti-AI artists entitled.
Normalize calling anti-AI artists abusive.
Normalize calling anti-AI artists vindictive.
You can politely explain why you used AI, and some will curse at you or even wish you dead. That’s not criticism. That’s harassment. Nobody owes you a commission.
