off's plot is a spoiler beyond the most basic summary

plot: a baseball guy has to purify things, and you (the player specifically, you name yourself and are a story entity) help him

baseball guy is the main character, sweater guy is the shopkeep

Holy shit.

There are literally Halo fans in the youtube comments cheering for the new competitive microtransactions in the game.

What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?

This is a real actual thing. Microsoft made this to show off the microtransaction system, to uproarious applause. It is not a joke.

It even brings up my points against losing to a 10 year old throwing a bitchfit until his dad's credit card wins him the match. Doesn't even defend itself, just going "if you disagree, you clearly don't get how it works so shut up."

Jumping ship to Tabletop rpgs.

I already prefer Fantasy Flight's 40k over what GW produces.

I am retreating to my dice and imagination.

I mean, I guess their core audience doesn't care about microtransactions because they are 12 year olds with disposable income and impatient parents who will happy spent money on a game to keep them quiet long enough for them to shut their eyes and pretend they didn't have kids.

In that regard it's perfect.

Also, today I learned that Tom Hanks and Woody Allen are not the same person.

Toy Story is somehow to blame.

Its' pretty much unneeded.

The Halo formula was fine without the ability to literally spawn a tank because you chanced on it.

If that video was any indication, the pay-to-win element is just giving you more opportunities for a random drop rather than a sure thing.

It's like if TF 2 started to say- "Hey, you want a random hat drop? Pay up."

So even in that regard it's a little flawed, and basically has decided to drop a cash register on the scales.

I'm serious, it was some major cognitive dissonance. For most of my life, I would accept both names as one person, both director and actor, and never noticed that it made no sense. It's because Tom Hanks played Woody and Tim Allen played Buzz and as a seven year old I took that to be Woody Allen and therefore whenever I heard Woody Allen I thought of Tom Hanks and literally forgot that his name was Tom Hanks even when I learned it was Tom Hanks I would forget I ever called him Woody Allen and then I'd be back to calling him Woody Allen in my mind the next day.

I'm not sure quite how you got to that point considering it's two separate actors playing different characters, personally.

Also-

I think this is the best piece of video game music.

Yes, but I've never seen a Woody Allen movie in my life. I only know the name of one of them, Annie Hall. Whenever I heard Woody Allen, my mind went "oh hey, Woody from Toy Story, Tom Hanks" and I would picture Tom Hanks. Whenever I heard Tom Hanks, I'd go "oh hey, Woody from Toy Story" and forget that I also thought that his name was Woody Allen.

It's only today, after seeing a picture of Woody Allen and doing some actual research that I realise just how deep this rabbit hole fifteen years in the making goes.

I....was actually wondering if Halo 5 was any good.

Got my answer thanks Norm.

Looks like Destiny is all we have left.

Ahahaha, Destiny is like a lolly that has a bit of sweet powder on top but stops being enjoyable to suck after about ten minutes but you can't stop even though it is bland as all hell.

Lovely aesthetic, a compelling story, fluid gameplay controls. All let down by the fact that the aesthetic of your enemies gets really cut and paste, the story is non-existant in the physical game and the gameplay is repetitive as all fuck. I played that game feeling nothing for my character, nor my achievements, nor my opponents. There's just no impact.

Gave the game to my little brother, who no doubt regrets he doesn't have somebody lower on the rung to shunt it off to.

I would get into it mostly for the lore.

Which I should probably go to the website for.

You took out the best part of your game Bungie!
