"how should i play games then"
Maybe you should stop asking people like a robot and just play the game on whatever difficulty you're comfortable with and if you're the type of person that enjoys a challenge play the harder difficulties.

The artist's vision is whatever difficulty they developed for the game. Bungie made all those difficulties because people are different. Some people suck at games but still have fun on easy, other people play a lot of games and enjoy the challenge of legendary.

Also normal is obviously the default difficulty lol... it's called normal for a reason

How do you go from consistently making good points that I agree with to annoying

It has a scope and is so powerful you almost don't need any other weapon.
so it's unbalanced

this is a bad thing
Quote
Really? I haven't seen the Assault Rifle type of design in any other game.
it's a generic machine gun

every FPS game has one

the only thing is that it has a goofy little display showing how many rounds you have left, which is just stupid
Quote
That design and sound is "generic" to you?
extremely

the only interesting thing about it is the night vision, which isn't even possible in MP

Quote
Again totally original and cool design. It's a rocket launcher, it can only be so different without becoming wacky and overly cartoonish.
so you agree with me that it's generic, thanks

Quote
>it's called a plasma rifle so it's generic
nope, it's generic in general

the only thing that isn't generic is the plasma mechanic itself, which isn't really saying much

Quote
It's practically the same design as the plasma rifle
nope you can charge it up and it's satisfying to rapid fire it
Quote
>thinking a crowbar is cooler than the energy sword in Halo
it's not, but you can't even fucking use the energy sword in halo 1, which is what we're talking about

Quote
>literally a real life revolver

WOAH NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE
it's fun to use and has a satisfying reload animation

more than can be said about any of halo 1's weapons
Quote
Again, crossbows exist. There's no creativity here.
it fires red-hot metal rods

that's fucking sick

Quote
Again, no originality.
originality can be sacrificed as long as the weapon is fun to use

none of halo's are

Quote
You can't say you think lasers make things cooler and then say you don't think Halo has cool weapons.
i just did

the laser isn't being used as the weapon itself, it's being used to control a rocket

it's the tactile sensation of guiding a missile that feels real and fun

halo lacks this in pretty much all of the games, even when they added guided rockets, it's not nearly as satisfying

Quote
>a boring 9mm is more satisfying than Halo's pistol

😂😂😂😂😂😂
x10000000

Quote
Borderlands is literally the same 10 or so guns reskinned millions of times.
and?

Quote
You realize they designed Legendary, right? They spent hours of their lives to design Legendary difficulty. They want people to play it.
it's obviously not intended for you to play it first

Quote
No offense but you're probably autistic. I'm not insulting you, but it'd make sense.
not even close

from my observations, you're probably more autistic than deci is

also, enemies?

what does halo 1 have

grunts, elites, jackals, hunters, flood

i can't think of anything else

half-life 2 has all sorts of shit
Every enemy in Half Life is either a human, or a very basic type monster/alien. It's something you've seen before, that's why Half Life never catches my interest.
still better than

>alien
>big alien
>zombie

You just described Half Life enemies.
so you have to look at their designs more specifically

i can't think of any way to describe halo's enemies other than "big dumb alien monster"

half-life's enemies are iconic

>powerful guns are boring
very

Quote
Again, no other game had the same design or noises the Halo AR has. Knowing how much ammo you have left isn't stupid lmao, if anything it's exactly what futuristic weapons would have.
probably because no other game would design a weapon so boring
Quote
Show me examples of mother games where the sniper looks exactly the same and sounds the same. You can't. If anything the night vision is something that other snipers have in other games.
none of this matters because it's still a boring weapon

night vision is cool and it doesn't matter if it's in other games
Quote
I think if you learn to read you'll see where I said it isn't generic while not becoming too cartoonish.
therefore it's boring

the more cartoonish it is, the more fun and memorable it is
Quote
There's nothing generic about it. Most movies games have this bulky black thins that shoots red lasers, this shoots balls of bright blue plasma with a believably alien design. It's the furthest thing from generic. In fact it's so original to Halo I have yet to see anything like it in other games or movies because they could probably be taken to court over using Bungie's design. That's how original it is.
it's extremely generic and by far the most boring weapon in the game
Quote
Design =/= mechanics
i'm talking about both shithead

Quote
It'sl still there, being wielded by an actual alien looking alien with pretty good AI for an old game.
doesn't matter, can't use it myself

Quote
It is fun to use. A revolver is fun to use in Rainbow Six Vegas, too, but that doesn't make it any less generic.
i don't care

my issue is that halo's guns are both generic and boring to use

you can be generic all you want as long as you're still fun, and that's what saves a lot of HL2's weapons

Quote
That's fucking generic.
XD

Quote
Again, even you don't believe this.
i 100% believe it

halo is probably the worst shooter i've ever bothered to finish and i never want to play it again

i'll play half-life 2 right now
Quote
I know what laser guided is lmao.
are you sure
Quote
Again, being a contrarian. Guiding a missile is not more or less fun, it's a mechanic that allows you to kill easier. Honestly I preferred it where you couldn't lock onto Banshees etc.
it's extremely fun

Quote
Wrong
wrong

Quote
That means there aren't 8 billion guns or whatever it was they used to say to hype the game up. It's the same guns, boring guns with nothing special.
"i have not played borderlands"

if you expected the game to actually have a million unique guns, you're a retard

i mean you're a retard anyway, but you know

having many variations of the same gun is good for personalization and is exciting, because there's a gun out there that's just for you
Quote
What does that have to do with the fact that they want people to play it?
the fact that if you're going to play the game just once, you probably wouldn't pick legendary

i wouldn't, because that's not how the game was meant to be played according to bungie

Quote
>I NEED TO PLAY THE GAME THE WAY IT WAS "INTENDED" OR THE THE GAME IS RUINED FOREVER

Hmm, I disagree.
because you're an easily-entertained moron

I've played both and apart from the face huggers none come to mind, and eve that is basically a ripoff of Alien.

An Elite, Hunter, Brute, Jackal, or Grunt is easily recognizable and you know exactly what game it's from.
and how boring they are

you're like 19 or something and you're this senile

It's funny

I enjoy Dark Souls simply because it doesn't hold your hand and actually requires you to think a little

but for that same reason I curse games like Elite Dangerous

They don't have any distinguishing features or really anything that makes them stand out from any other game. It's funny, now that I think about it Half Life is honestly one of the worst games I've ever played.
i don't care about your shit taste, why do you feel the need to let me know about it

They're the same gun almost design wise and the onky difference is you can charge the pistol so it isn't just a shittier version of the rifle. Come on man think a little.
>onky

plasma pistol is better and only a retard would disagree

Quote
I suggest buying Halo 2 and 3.
we're not talking about those games

Quote
They're neither generic nor boring. Halo is popular because it's an extremely fun game.
they're the most generic and boring weapons i've ever seen

if you're an easily entertained dumbass with shit taste and a tiny brain

lowest common denominator

Quote
You don't.
i do, because there's literally no reason why i wouldn't

you're a fucking retard dude

Quote
Ok?
kill yourself

Quote
wrong
wrong

Quote
I mean you'd have to be retarded to enjoy borderlands. I don't play dress up so I don't give a fuck what the weapon looks like lmao. The game was hyped as having tons of weapons, and it's just reskins. Plenty of people complained about this. I could play 1 or 2 for longer than like 10 hours before uninstalling.
anyone who complained about it is a retard, because it should've been obvious from the start

the game obviously doesn't have a billion different guns, they're the same types of guns with small tweaks here and there

and that is what makes it a cool game, and better than halo by default

Quote
I mean if you could read above preschool level you'd know that normal means normal and if you wanted a challenge Heroic is before Legendary so you'd probably pick Heroic. But hey, if you're illiterate you're illiterate.
except you're illiterate because heroic says "this is how halo is meant to be played"

which takes precedence over normal, because the game is literally saying you're playing the game wrong if you play on normal

so again, kill yourself you sad worthless cunt
Quote
Maybe if you stopped being a little Nazi that needs his fuhrer's instruction on how to play the game you'd enjoy life more.
fuck life

Quote
Because I'm not a dumbass that does what other people tell him to do.
wow what a free thinker

what an independent mind

you're so special, you should totally not kill yourself

If you know, you know.
I love what Max Payne did. The first two games had dynamic difficulty that changed depending on how good or bad you were at playing it. So it like adapted to make sure you are always challenged just enough.

Does anyone also resort to stealth when playing on higher difficulties? Avoiding encounters makes the game easier.
