The fact that the fallout 4 patch is taking a million hours to download.

That's probably your shitty university connection right thar.

But I don't go to uni

Also it's been on 99% for over half an hour. Really pissing me off.

We don't have the day off though.

OT: Because the traditional pastime in Britain is complaining about how shit it is to live here. The weather is shit, the food is shit, the people are either toff wankers or pondscum, every other shop in a town centre is a kebab shop and I could go on and on but basically the only good thing about this country is the NHS which is why people get so fanatical about defending it from the privatisation predators.
I too, enjoy getting over the flu naturally before the doctor has time to see me.

Enjoy having a stronger immune system because your own immune system fought off the illness as opposed to antibiotics :^)

No, you're just complaining about shit that doesn't matter. Like, at all.

Unless you also want to complain about how Bungie used a Marathon-Class cruiser for the Autumn in Halo 2, or Blur used the model for Installation 05 for Installation 04 in H2A, or how bungie was too lazy to actually create characters so they made two of their player characters pretty much nonexistent.

Halo 5 has many problems, but complaining about reusing assets that you literally see for half a second total is retarded.
I thought we were making complaints of Halo 5. There isn't much to bitch about, mostly due to the lack of overall content I suppose. If the Promethean shitfest was less abundant and the pacing remained steady around most places, I probably would have enjoyed it more with my friends. The only thing I'm truly pissed over is the "reward" for completing the game on legendary.

There is.

Blue Team.
The Battle of Sunaion.
Spoiler
Locke and Chief.
Blue Team speaking to the Warden Eternal.
To name a few.

None of those things were really all that good. They weren't bad either, but w/e.

Fits in with the Universe just fine.

Based on what the gameplay establishes? No, it doesn't. But "gameplay ain't canon" (which is fucking stupid btw). Sorry for expected what is shown to me to be consistent.

Quote
You're like the biggest whiner ever about MGS4 messing and retconning things.

Completely different, though.

1. MGS4 is a FAR worse offense.
2. MGS4 contradicts things that were established within the actual games, Reach doesn't.
3. The retcons were complete horseshit, Reach is essentially non-canon IIRC now.

Why do you bother trying with him? He has a pretty hard hate boner for anything that isn't mgs. His opinion is about as useful as IGN when trying to decide if anything is good.

Except I don't. I only hate what's shit, like Halo 5's story. But yeah, let your inner fanboy take over.

I'll be the first to admit that Halo 5's story was pretty crap.

But at the same time, someone who has a pretty obvious bias against something is about as reliable as someone who gives everything a 10/10.

If I went to play FIFA and then said it's shit, I don't expect anyone to take me seriously because I don't like football and I think that football games are dumb anyway. You seem to have this superiority complex where you are always right and everyone else is wrong. I can't exactly take that seriously, nor the fact that you play games "but don't like gameplay" but then proceed to praise gameplay.

Have some consistency for once.

It's funny because those saying PSY has shit taste want to play a watered down RTS for babies.
Halo Wars is actually enjoyable, though.

It's not a good RTS though.
No RTS is good though
Ah c'mon. There are some really good RTS's.
Though my strategy seems to be the same for all of them.

Find a unit that is good against pretty much everything
Construct the max allowable limit of these units
Send them out on a rampage
I win
Next level
Repeat.

You're playing some pretty bad RTS games if that actually works for you.
I mean, sure I react to a shitstorm attacking my base while all of my army is out there

and protecting my 'milking' machinery while I ggather resources in the beginning is also part of it. Once all of that is out of the way, I strom.

I played Dune 2000
Warzone 2100
Start craft
End war <- okay, here my strategy is just not possible.

Any player worth their salt in SC would roll you if you tried to spam a single unit. Did you play against easy AI or something?
Well, I would always play against AI. I tried online a few times and I was getting raped every fucking time. When when I would try playing it legit.

Some wanker who clocked 500+ hours into it - of course he would be good.

So.. you boasted about having an amazing strategy that works every time but only if you're not battling something that has a brain?

Okay.

doing some Superman-esque shit (it's all in one-shot) which was admittedly pretty cool, but felt out of place and unrealistic for the universe. Everything else (bar music, again) was better in Reach.
Fits in with the Universe just fine.
Spartans are literally superheros. They're capable of crazy shit that's otherwise impossible to regular non-augmented non-futuristic power armour wearing people.

But you don't really know much about the canon, so...

The biggest problem with Reach was that it broke established canon, but I'm of the opinion that creative freedom trumps consistency.

No consistency brings issues. Lots of issues.

Why not just have a 1-10 like a normal rating scale
i figured he was implying that halo 2 was the best, halo 3 was okay, and halo 4 was the worst

so if you give it a "2", you're saying it's as good as halo 2

uhhh, or something

That's still a stupid system.

Very shallow lore.

Ohhhh


The battlefield kind of story which is only there to fill a check list? Okay.

Never really got how you could tell a story entirely through a bunch of dudes beating the fuck out of each other in convenient 90 second rounds.

Oh cool, there's the quest generation system from Skyrim? Gah, 8 and a half mour hours till unlock.

Each faction has radiant quests. It seems that it's roughly a more quests=less radiants and vice versa.
