He praises pre-Destiny Bungie as some infallible gods of gaming.

They aren't. But that has nothing to do with his arguments.

Quote
He's always crying about 343, Halo 4, the MCC (understandably) and Halo 5 and every other dev and franchise.

Because those things need to be discussed. 343 isn't some infallible god, either. They have their fair share of corruption.

Quote
His fanbase are a herd of sheep that flock to his videos so he can form opinions for them to echo on the Internet.

That has nothing to do with him, though.

If you know, you know.
But he shits on everything. Literally, not a single video is positive.

I don't see the issue? His channel revolves around that shit. That's not a proper complaint.

If you don't like that, it's fine. But the points he makes in his videos are great and you shouldn't ignore them.
His channel is for angry and frustrated. I watch his stuff but I wish that he would at least do some other type of videos like reviews or something. His points can be summed up in 2-3 minutes

but he spread it out into 15-25 minutes.

Well if anything that makes it more candid and honest. But yeah, my main problems are with his long winded speeches and shit.

Besides the MCC, they really don't need discussing.
Halo 4 is 3 years old. The population tanked quickly. Nobody cares anymore. It's old and irrelevant news.
Halo 5 is shipping without Forge at launch for a legitimate reason. Besides that, there isn't much to talk about.

What exactly are 343 currently doing that is "corrupt"? Oh, right.

"b-but guys you shouldn't pre-order or buy halo 5 right away because DAE halo MCC that wasn't even developed by 343 xD"
He's a moron.

I love you, son.
He could just stop at "pre-ordering is bad" and that would be fine. But no, in EVERY fucking video he has to go on about how people who pre-order are evil and 343i/post-Halo Bungie are the devil incarnate. He also came up with some idea for Halo 5's story which was fucking retarded

He's also arrogant as fuck, a trait I absolutely despise in people.

I suppose my question was more "What is your opinion of his opinions?" But that wasn't clear enough, my bad.

They weren't being discussed, they were being used to hammer home a point.

And yeah, Halo 5 shipping without forge further supports an awful precedent. The game should be cheaper because it's not included.

That's literally why he has a YouTube channel, though. You can't get mad an DefendTheHouse for making mythbusters videos -- "But no, in EVERY fucking video, they go on about busting myths."

It's a stupid complaint.

And he's never really called pre-orderers devil incarnate or anything similar, and if he has, I'm sure it was hyperbole. But you can't honestly sit there and tell me that 343i and MS aren't corrupt. That's bullshit.

Agreed. I prefer Fringy because he makes shorter videos and better ones, IMO. But Dobbins has some good shit to offer.

MGSV should've been cheaper then.

It's not like they're releasing it a few weeks after in a fully polished and finished state completely free of charge or anything... Oh, wait a second.

What would be better? Having it crammed in in an unfinished state just to keep people happy just for them to cry about it because it isn't 100%, or for them to push it back a few weeks to get it in a fully functioning state with minimal bugs and other issues.

I know which I'd prefer.

Halo 5, even without Forge, offers more content than most other games do these days.

Uhh, I agree. Nice try, lol. MGSV should've been $50 on release.

The difference being, MGO isn't a main focus for the Kojima Productions team... Forge is a main pillar of Halo.

That doesn't matter. It gives developers an incentive to release a working product if they don't have the funds for it yet.

Uhh, neither. I'd rather the game be cheaper, with forge costing more later on down the line. AKA, when it's ready.

$40 on release, Forge is $20.

That's true but it's a bad argument. It's not "more than enough". It's about "all". You're paying full price for 2/3's of the full game on release.

It doesn't matter if you're paying $60 for Halo 5 without Forge, because it will be released later. They're not charging you. Do you not see how dumb that sounds? Make me pay $40 for the game, and $20 for Forge when you could buy the game for $60 and get Forge for free a few months later.

"We already have their money, why would we need to put effort into forge?"

It's called incentive. Educate yourself.

The entire reason Forge isn't out on launch is because they're putting effort into it. The only other option is a delay, and there's no point in that.

The reason it was pushed is so they can put the effort in to completely finish it, you berk.

It was either release it broken or delay it for a month.

Uh, there is a point in that, though.

If the game isn't ready, don't fucking release. End of story. How many MCC cases do we need to have before people get this?

You paying for full-price for an incomplete game is a bad practice. Either delay it or lower the price.

And you can't seriously understand which one of those is preferable?

There's a third option too but the developers won't exercise that because "fuck you, give me money".

I know which is preferable - delay it so that it isn't broken, which it would be if it was forced to release before it was ready.

Exactly. The game should've been delayed.

Quote

$40 for the game that's ready

$20 when forge is ready.

But they won't do that because they're banking on the fact that people might only play Halo 5 for a few weeks and then bail. Don't be dumd, Lemon.

How many times have I said this now? 343 don't decide release dates.

Considering how well the beta went, I'd hardly say that.
Is it a possibility? Yes. Like literally every game.

This is a business. $60 up front is a more logical choice than $40 + $20

When he has a good point, he drags it on for 20 minutes longer than it needs to be.
He has zero idea of what he's talking about when he calls developers lazy.  This, along with some of his other bolder and more dramatic assertions, can really drown out any good point that he does have.

He's ok, however most of the time he spews out nonsense "Halo 5 is trying to appeal to the COD fans" WTF does that have to do with anything, what kind of nonsense is that?

He's a lying speglord


he made good points before but then he went full-Kotaku when he realized how much attention rage-clicks got him.

I mean if he didn't blatantly lie about crap like Halo 5 having killstreaks and constantly beat dead horses he'd be tolerable.
