"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.
Already discussed in the general. The only valid point he makes is something that everyone and their mother said a week ago once again proving that he can't do anything except for scream like an angry retard unless he has material to steal from other people.

Also the unwarranted sense of self importance is real in this video.
Which valid point is that, because there's plenty of things he's not wrong about.

Also going to point out that Joe says "If you do good you'll get maybe 900 points per match". I guess Joe's definition of doing good is a .2 k/d because that's what shows up in the background. A normal warzone round for me nets about 2k req points.
Players that are pulling in 1k/2k a match will still need to clock in 400 odd hours required to complete every cosmetic. Joe explicitly takes a caveat to his playing ability and the capacity to earn req points later in the video. The system is deliberately implemented to have you spend more money than required, which was his entire point. It's predatory, and it's bullshit.

I'm not sure why you come crashing into these threads unapologetically slogging the corporate phallus and their bullshit business practices. I've seen you do it for Battlefront, and it's honestly just laughable. I wouldn't be surprised if EA kept you on their payroll.

But go ahead and continue to hand wave off legitimate grievances with "hurr he's just a bumbling retard that has no idea how the industry works" if you actually want to continue reciprocating the standards that us as consumers shouldn't have to put up with.

Preach it, brother.

If you count all of Osiris' Meridian missions as one and all of their Sanghelios missions as one, then it's 3 blue team versus five osiris. Even then, the remaining three missions for Osiris total a similar play time to Blue Team's.

They get equal amounts of time, but osiris missions are split up by three non-combat missions where you get to just wander round, listen to conversations and generally experience the world more.

Is it really that fucking complex of a concept to expect a boss fight between the two characters that have been advertised to be at odds with each other for the last year or so?

This is why you shouldn't watch trailers like me, people.

And that the gameplay has changed to appear a blend between Halo and other shooters like CoD.
Also, that the campaign was short.
There's also the comment on the set pieces and atmosphere of missions being well done, along with the visuals in general.
Also, that the story wasn't something a new player could jump into without being very confused.
Also, that the story was marketed as something different than what it turned out to be.
Also, that the splitscreen being cut was a dumb decision.

But still, how would a spartan IV beat a spartan II, I didn't need a boss fight because I know that Master Chief will kick Lockes ass.

Don't bother. For some reason LC has this terrible bias against AJ. How someone could harbour such disgust for a random person making video game reviews on the internet is beyond me.

S4s and S2s are mostly equals. Hence why the gameplay stays consistent regardless of which team you're playing on.

I mean, the fight ended in a near draw between the two. Locke literally had a pistol locked on Chief.

Even if the canon somehow details how wrong I am, the entire game leads you to believe that these two protagonists are on even grounds.

If I'm going to waste my time talking with idiots that aren't likely to change their opinion about things at all, or until well after the argument, they might as well be someone other than myself.

I used to love AJ, but the past couple of years it seems like he's been letting his success go to his head.  I've noticed in some of his reviews this year, he hasn't done anything of his research and has actually made several false claims, such as single player aspects in BFH not transferring over to the Multiplayer.  He's also gotten fairly lazy I think, as he promised more content this year but passed over several games because "what's been said about them has already been said."

Also, looking at the Halo 5 review he seems much more salty and was such a fucking asshole during his REQ rant.  It actually turned me off from him pretty damn hard.

Nah, they're pretty much equal minus the experience and training the S2's have. Even still, S2's have gotten eviscerated before through being unlucky or outplayed. Chief and the rest of Blue team got taken down by Insurrectionists and kept prisoner until one of them that broke off before the ambush came back to save them.

I agree with many of the criticisms against Joe, don't get me wrong.

It's just that LC is so adamantly against this guy like he fucked his wife while wearing his Corporate Commander outfit and laughing like an a deranged racoon.

And I mean at the end of the day, clearly Joe isn't the sharpest tool in the shed. He's just a guy you play video games with. I'd probably be friends with him IRL tbh.

See, Deathstroke? It's not unreasonable to expect some sort of confrontation between these two "equals".

And I particularly enjoy the intros with him dressed up as characters with Other Joe and tries to reenact things that happen in the game. His Rambo, Ride to Hell, and Godzilla reviews are hilarious.

Yeah he does seem like a good guy to hang out with.  Hell he's accepting of creepy ass Delrith.

But as a reviewer, he just seems to be riding off his success.  I'd hate to be associated with him business-wise.

I used to find them really boring or cringey but I've come to find them endearing.

And yeah, his Ride to Hell review had me in tears at several parts.

I can see where you're coming from, but still.

A rookie (Osiris Team) vs Someone who has experience (Blue Team), I just don't see how Locke can take on someone like Master Chief.

Team Osiris is anything but "rookie" status. It's established very early on that all the members are highly skilled or experienced -- Locke in particular has a pretty long record.

emigrate or degenerate. the choice is yours
I never said you did, however Reach is another widely played Halo game that had a similar level of character customization that had to be unlocked through play time. Therefore it is an apt comparison when discussing Halo 5s cosmetic content and how much time must be sunk into the game to complete the cosmetic armory.
Okay sure, it's an apt comparison, but I'm not sure what the comparison achieves intellectually. Both are horrendously designed systems that require virtually no skill. A chimpanzee playing Reach could get to Inheritor provided he had enough time, and likewise, a rich chimpanzee could unlock all of Halo 5's cosmetics.

What exactly is your point here? That bullshit designs like this should be acceptable?
Quote
The fact remains that in a game with a paid short cut you can complete your much larger cosmetic armory in less than half the time without paying a single dime than another game in the same franchise without the option for a paid short cut. This is not at all predatory.
Haha what? "You can get to level X in this bullshit system faster than this other bullshit system provided you have the money to pay for it. This is not at all predatory."

Are you even listening to yourself right now? You are comparing dogshit to cowshit my friend. You still haven't addressed my points on why we should have micro-transactions as consumers. Reach had a shitty system. We know. Again, why does adding micro-transactions to the shit heap aid anything?
Quote
This fact alone shows that the games economy was not in any way altered to make the paid option most viable option to receive content.
I'm not even sure what this sentence is trying to convey. The pay-to-receive content option was implemented because consumers such as yourself and the Halo community in general became apathetic to the notion for some reason.
Quote
You meant he same CD Projekt Red that's selling season passes and charging 25 USD individually for their expansions? Great double standard there m8.
My contention doesn't lie with season passes or expansions m9, provided they are supplied with enough content, which TW3 most certainly has. Straw-manning my argument doesn't achieve much.

Whether or not you like the system implemented is irrelevant. We're talking about a supposed "predatory system" that coerces people into paying money to achieve in game rewards. When you take into account that it's actually much easier to achieve more content in a significantly less amount of time in Halo 5 than it is in many other games that utilize the same system and forgo a paid short cut the notion that this paid short cut is predatory and coercing people into paying into it is pretty silly.

I was also under the assumption that you knew why a micro transaction short cut was implemented considering it's been well publicized for months now. All of Halo 5s post launch DLC is going to be free as a result of these micro transactions. A significant portion of the money made will be going back into the game, and because of this the majority of Halo players have no problem with it.

Halo 5 also has plenty of content already in the game with months worth of free content planned over the course of the games life time. What's your point? The only reason I brought up the season pass in the first place is because you brought up me saying that season passes aren't inherently a bad thing in a battlefront thread and used it as an example as to why I "suck the corporate cock".
