Quintus 5,399 Posted November 5, 2015 Author Share Posted November 5, 2015 I lost interest in it years ago. I wouldn't be bothered if it did get cancelled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamTheater 131 Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 I would be more than slightly miffed if TLG ended up cancelled, because I believe this game will be a piece of art, much like its predecessors. Timeless classics they are. Never lost interest, never lost hope.And in other news, some excellent final levels in Halo 5. I had fun, the huge Prometheans sure are worthy adversaries. Pretty intense dynamic combat. Still haven't reached the end, one level to go I think.Will comment on the music when I'm not distracted by all the intense action, flashy visuals and nonsensical story. What I heard was definitely not awful ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A24 4,344 Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Goddamnit, I want the kid to play Fallout 4! Why oh why isn't it released for the older consoles?! Fallout was never about the graphics, the art direction is still superb enough to immerse you in the world. Then what exactly do you mean with 'graphics'?

DreamTheater 131 Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 A game can be graphically not the most cutting edge (using an older engine for example), but can still be visually arresting and unique if the art direction is strong and consistent.Which is why a game like Bioshock Infinite is still going to be a looker in 10 years time because the world design and artistic attention to detail is so stunning.

Quintus 5,399 Posted November 6, 2015 Author Share Posted November 6, 2015 Yes. When speaking about graphics in games people tend to confuse them with the art.When I spoke earlier about Halo's graphics being "shit" I was strictly referring to the poor sub HD resolution presentation, distracting shadow/object pop-in and the engine's mediocre anti-aliasing solution AKA 'jaggies'. Because the art in the game is actually very good, and ought to have been really striking had it not been undermined by shortcomings in the Xbox hardware.

DreamTheater 131 Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 So I completed Halo 5, it was an alright campaign in hindsight, but definitely my least favorite. The storyline goes further away from what the first couple of Halo's did so well... create a strong, deep mythology that was about interesting characters and moments of grandeur and awe and witty banter between Cortana and the Chief. I honestly didn't give a flying f..k what went on in this one, plot-wise... Can't quite put my finger on it, but as 343 took over from Bungie something has gotten lost in the translation.I also played some MP just to try it out, and even though I do find it extremely polished and stunningly designed, I'm not going to continue with it because quite simply I'm not into this kind of competitive gaming against far superior players.

Quintus 5,399 Posted November 8, 2015 Author Share Posted November 8, 2015 On the other hand I've just finish the Elites (Sangheili) homeworld mission and it is easily one of the most spectacular Halo levels I've played out of 7 games in the series I've played thus far. It was pure Halo. For me 343i are no longer in Bungie's shadow, after that. The mission was fun, epic, stirring, gorgeously rendered and rich in sandbox emergence. That's what I need from a Halo campaign. I'm very much enjoying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Call Of Duty: Black Ops IIIPut a few hours into the multiplayer and have been enjoying it as much as one can playing these types of games solo. Something happened between PS3 and PS4 where my gaming friends either no longer play as much or we just don't buy the same games anymore. Destiny has been the only common denominator over the past couple years. Only reason I bring this up is because this game would be ace with a full party of friends. Black Ops II is my favorite COD game, so it's a nice return to form for the franchise. Ghosts and Advanced Warfare didn't really feel like COD. It rips more than a few pages out of Titanfall's and Destiny's playbook, but everything works for the most part. Haven't touched the campaign all that much. I was attempting to beat it on Realistic, their new difficulty mode, but not sure if I can stomach that one. You have to beat the game without getting hit once. Never been a fan of zombies, so I probably won't touch that at all.Trying to rank up as much as I can this weekend before Fallout 4 hits on Tuesday. I also checked out some gameplay of Rise Of The Tomb Raider, and it looks fantastic. The reboot franchise is shamelessly copying Naughty Dog, but if its quality I really don't mind.

Quintus 5,399 Posted November 8, 2015 Author Share Posted November 8, 2015 I have an Xbox but I'll wait for Tomb Raider to hit either PC or PS4 with all the inevitably bundled DLC at a later date. But mainly because it'll look and run like shit on the Microsoft console. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamTheater 131 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 You talk like you've seen it in action already. Crystal Dynamics had all this time to focus on one console, so it shouldn't run like shit. And I don't expect it will.I want to play it, but as I'm into other stuff for the moment I'm in no hurry. Besides I'll want to play the original first again. On Xbox One this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted November 9, 2015 Author Share Posted November 9, 2015 Well for example the previous game in the series ran at half the frame rate of that seen on the PS4. Are you downplaying that drastic difference in performance fidelity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamTheater 131 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Well that was for the previous game (which I played on PC, so I can't comment on its performance on X360).Like I said CD has only one consumer base to satisfy right now (for the time being).

Quintus 5,399 Posted November 9, 2015 Author Share Posted November 9, 2015 To be honest I only ever thought the last game was just alright anyway. I prefer the original Core games over the action packed third person shooter cum adventure reboot which Square Enix thought the franchise should be. Uncharted already fills that genre well enough for me, and for my money in a superior way. Although Uncharted 3 was forgettable (Koray's favourite). I'm in no rush to play The Dark Tomb Raider Rises.

Quintus 5,399 Posted November 9, 2015 Author Share Posted November 9, 2015 I'm waiting for the Digital Foundry analysis to see if it's properly frame paced at 30fps (the presumed lock?) and if they managed a consistent 1080p presentation, just because I find that shit interesting.

mstrox 6,651 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I just finished playing "The Last of Us" and its DLC level on PS3 - very highly recommended. Enough that I'm buying the studio's other games, Uncharted. Since I can't really afford to upgrade to a PS4, I'll take my time getting cheap used PS3 "classics."

Jay 37,370 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Figures Reach is ranked that highly, and its the only one not available on XboxOne The backwards compatibility feature of Xbone will solve that oversight.But it'd be neat to have it redone like ODST was, with the 60 fps.NOPE!

DreamTheater 131 Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 They could orchestrate the major cues (which already exist) for key events in the game and use HQ synth recreations for the minor cues. I'd be okay with that, especially as sometimes I can't tell whether real instruments are used or not (like with Jeremy Soule for example). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
