Even then, the DS is pretty specific for its dual screen setup, and makes playing on anything that isnt a DS or similar form factor feel pretty unapproachable. Have you tried other consoles, like the PSP? Since it only has one screen, and does not have touch support, it can feel like it was designed for normal console style play.

Its only a suggestion, there may be other reasons he doesn’t play. Maybe the games just don’t interest him?

I really liked LotR Conquest. Its a shame they never made a new one.

Also, LotR Vol. 1 on the SNES was GOATED, and it saddens me immensely that Vol. 2 was never ported to the SNES.

To be fair, playing a DS game with touch screen buttons feels pretty bad compared to playing Fruit Ninja or whatever that was designed specifically for phone touch controls.

I’ll be honest, maybe it would be better if they didn’t have creative control anymore. They haven’t really been all that creative these past years.

Okay but Black Flag slapped. Maybe not as an AC game per se, but Black Flag was still a greater game.

In CE Anniversary, they reused a lot of Halo Reach assets and generally destroyed the art style of the original game.

In what they have shown of Campaign Evolved (actually comically stupid name), they have added Sprint (which hilariously their own gameplay showcases that sprint causes the player to miss a music cue that Martin O’Donnell specifically placed), removed Health Packs in favor of recharging health, removed the tree that prevented the Warthog from being used to fight the two hunters completely trivializing the fight, and they reused a lot of assets from Halo Infinite as well, which I really hope are placeholders but I fear they are not. Also the forerunner tech is too clean and shiny.

From just 13 minutes of gameplay, I already see a lot of problems.

343 hired people that hate Halo when they were developing Halo 4. I believe it was Frank O’Connor that said this himself in a video interview around that time. 343 literally could not wait to make Halo into something it was not. They tried for three games and each failed spectacularly. They failed so badly that their studio reputation had become so bad they needed to rebrand as “Halo Studios” to trick consumers into buying their next game.

Now that 343 has destroyed Halo’s future, theyre going to destroy its past. As George Orwell said “Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.” By remaking Combat Evolved and changing that game, they can distort the playerbase into thinking it was always supposed to be that way.

343 is literally attempting to come in and add new additions to the Mona Lisa painting. Or chiseling new stuff onto the David sculpture. Literal vandalism. The original was already perfect, and only needed a visual upgrade. CE Anniversary did that so badly they need to do it again, but seem convinved it is impossible to make a new Halo game without sprint or other features that mean level geometry and bullet speeds need fundamental redesigns.

In case you couldn’t tell, I have a lot of contempt for 343. They could not have mishandled such a monumental franchise any worse. They ruined one of my favorite franchises, and it was literally so easy for them not to.

Classic Dexerto, making a headline that gives a wildly inaccurate impression of reality.

The headline made it seem like she won a tournament on the likes of EVO, not some small local tournament that could have just been among family members. Its cool she did this, but the author is REALLY trying hard to live up to their name (Virgina Glaze ).

I too have been looking for something like this, for quite a while actually, and have been unable to find anything that is suitable. The 8Bitdo Micro looked great except it didn’t have thumbsticks, and anything else was either way too big to be pocketable, or didn’t have the proper amount of controls. Also, I would especially prefer something that keeps the device horizontal.

I did look at the GameSir Aileron X4, which seemed like a decent option but it seems too big to fit in my pocket. Has anyone tried this controller before?

I shall watch this thread closely.

• Peter Jackson’s King Kong: The Official Game of the Movie

• Goldeneye 007

• Alien Isolation

• Star Wars Episode 1 Racer

• Star Wars Episode 3 Revenge of the Sith (the game)

• The Chronices of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay

• Mad Max (2015, the game)

• Robocop Rogue City

• SpiderMan 2 (2004, the game)

• Basically every LEGO game

Halo 4 and 5 are just more examples in the massive pile of “why appealing to a wider audience is almost universally bad for video games” games

I said basically the same thing and got downvoted for it.

Hopefully the catch is nothing, but you can never be too sure.

Nah, Pierre deserved it

But weren’t the layoffs for white collar positions like HR and marketing? Did it hit their game studios as well?

This isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Sometimes people want the same kind of game with a different flavor. Maybe they don’t like the PUBG art style and would rather play Fortnite instead, or perhaps they don’t like Overwatch because of Blizzard and are okay with Marvel Rivals from NetEase instead.

I don’t believe that games should exist with no real competitors. That’s how you end up with games like Dead by Daylight, where community sentiment plummets but the developers have no real reason to do anything about it because where are the players going to go?

Let me guess… you watched Angel Beats or Danganronpa and didn’t like it?

While there is a lot of school themed anime, there are plenty of scifi and fantasy themed anime as well. Options become less limited the farther back in time you go, because the 80s and 90s seem to have more scifi and fantasy than school themes, as they were more popular at that time. Unless you like slice of life, in shich case you have like, three shows tops and they’re all from the last 4 years.

I like Evangelion specifically because most of it wasn’t intended to have a meaning. Anno just put it in the show because he thought it looked/sounded cool.

This is similar to why I like games from Hideo Kojima. Its just filled with stuff he thought is cool. It doesn’t always have to have a meaning or explanation.

For me? Frieren.

I am still gonna try two more episodes, but episode one was boring and underwhelming to me. Not that anime needs to have action, because I also like slow films (one of my favorites being Rear Window), but episode 1 of Frieren did not hold my attention that well.

At the end I said out loud “this is what everyone is hyping about?”

Maybe I change my mind by episode 3, but if not I guess I will just have to leave my enjoyment of it to the memes.
