Yahtzee uploaded his review of halo 5

Pretty funny

Not even. between the blatant misinformation and his already very clear bias against the FPS genre in general, (especialy Halo) I found myself wondering if he's even played the game at all


You have seen his videos before.... right?

How else would I know about his massive bias against FPS games?
you don't need to sperg out about it.

How did I do anything of the sort?

Practically crying because someone satirised something is a good way to start.

Crying in what way? I said he provided misinformation an was heavily biased, to the point that I doubt he even played the game before judging it, how does that constitute as "crying"? Explain right now it looks like you're pulling some #Destiny tier shit.

In what ways did he have misinformation? Because he didn't want to pay for online multiplayer?

"There's no new guns or vehicles"
"No new enemies"
"Gameplay hasn't changed at all"

He's not exactly wrong. The plasma caster is just a fancy concussion rifle, the hydra is the same role as a grenade launcher. The Phaeton is more or less the same as a hornet in function and the soldiers act pretty much how the knights acted in Halo 4.

For someone who isn't a die hard fan of the series who probably forgets half of the stuff anyway after playing, it's easy to see why someone would think that way. And the gunplay is largely the same as any other game in the series. The thruster pack has essentially been in for two games now, so it's easy to get an impression for the campaign that nothing changed much.

From the perspective of someonenwho plays all the games all the time, the details are noticeable. To an outsoder who has a week to play a game then write a satirical comedy review of it, the differences don't amount to much outside of the multiplayer department.

That's besides the point anyway. He does 5 minute videos about a game every week. It's not like he's going to do a 20,000 word essay on how Master Chief's visor now reflects the sunlight using a precisely calculated mathmatical model or such.

One of his favorite games is Painkiller, though.

When one watches Yahtzee's videos, one shouldn't expect some well-rounded review, that explains a game's pros and cons and comes up with a conclusion at the end, but rather a 5 minute long, satiric expression of opinion that shows the shit aspects of games and emphasises on how shit they are and illustrates why they are shit.
Usually the stuff he lists being shit are indeed quite shitty - in that regard he isn't wrong.

But whether you enjoy a game or not is up to the indidividual.

You will find out who you are not a thousand times, before you ever discover who you are. I hope you find peace in yourself and learn to love instead of hate.

It's not team objective though and that's what he was asking for.

But I guess in the end -- Sort of feels like everyday its harder to stay happy where you are. There are all these ways to look through the fence into your neighbor's yard.

Why even risk it? its safer to stay distant.

What happened to locking armor behind achievements?

Making everything random just turns every game into a grind, and ruins them

"flaming nipple chops"-Your host, the man they call Ghost.

To say, 'nothing is true', is to realize that the foundations of society are fragile, and that we must be the shepherds of our own civilization. To say, 'everything is permitted', is to understand that we are the architects of our actions, and that we must live with their consequences, whether glorious or tragic.
Is that the Mk. 4 or are they making Mk. V have the weird Halo 3 visor?

I fucking really loved playing Mass Effect 3's mp with somebody who found something ultra rare like the particle rifle 10 times to max it out to full power or who spent 100's o hours to unlock the ultra rares in general.

And then there's me opening the same random packs and getting shit equipment even after I maxed out all lower teir weapons.

Like septy and his scout hogs.

I don't dig the slot machine approach to items.

The only people that do are gamblers that have yet to go broke from buying REQ packs.

I can do it. I believe.
