IIRC the force lightsaber thing is more that force makes it easier to wield a saber. On account that the blade has no weight to it so you can't get power behind a swing, but the force helps with judging where to put the blade.  It makes jedi/ sith better at using them but anyone can use them, albeit not as easily.
I used a flashlight like a sword and I could get power out of my swings easily. Really how much power do you need behind them when this thing can melt through almost anything?

I dunno. That's what they said in RC. I imagine that having the ability to react a lot faster would help in a sword fight though, or when deflecting blaster bolts.

For the Stromtroppers are they going to be all human or are they going to include non-humans which makes sense since there's more non-humans than humans?

Imperial Remnant factions (In old lore) used aliens and women because they couldn't get enough recruits, but the original empire was very human-centric. So I don't see why not, we've already got Brienne of Tarth (From GoT) playing one of the stormtroopers.

Gaming / Re: The worst maps you've ever played on

Lockout
Midship (and all variants of it)

Complex (That btb map from Halo 4 that had no vehicles)
Half of Halo 4's maps, actually

Lumphini Garden (BF4 Dragon's Teeth) is an example of why you should never design a multiplayer map based off a real life location

Any TDM/ Domination/ Squad map from BF4. The game doesn't work at smaller player counts and I wish they'd stop trying and focus on the 66 player warfare.
Any map on Titanfall that has sub-par parkour routes.

Yahtzee.

Though, I watch him more for my own amusement than for advice on what to buy.

^^

Otherwise, I tend to do my own research before getting a game. Generally actual gameplay videos to get a feel for the game.

I think that was from the Republic Commando books so I guess it's canon status is dubious, though. I don't see why it can't be canon but ehhh

I'm most likely stereotyping but I take it the majority of the people on that site want Halo to be built exactly how they want it and nothing built for the non-competitive population?

Pretty much. They think that Halo 2 is literal perfection and that the 'casuals' shouldn't be allowed to play the game.

I wonder if Dare will show up in Halo 5.

Probably not. She's an ONI mission handler. There's not much reason for her to show up now, considering there are still anti-Insurrection operations going on all over UNSC space. If anything, she's likely in charge of whatever squad that Romeo is in and/ or in charge of the Huragok from ODST.

The Flood / Re: Who has the better singing voice, men or women?
« on: October 17, 2015, 03:25:19 PM »
Depends on the music. Men tend to fit better with rock but women sound better than men in pop. Mainly because guys who sing in pop are teenagers who sound like women.

I still think 343 missed a golden opportunity to make Buck, Mickey and Dutch their own spartan squad - fireteam Firefly.

In don't. And unless you shift perspective to Blue during Orisis missions how can you see his as a positive change? I'm fine with Osiris having more missions but 4/5 more? MS and 343 are needlessly dragging on Chiefs story which was to be expected. When they said the reclaimer trilogy is now a saga this is probably what they had in mind. Trust me, I want chief's story to end sooner than later and I don't want to have to wait twenty years because we only get three missions a game as him.

Do you understand a mystery isn't a mystery if you see it from the POV of the guy who does it? A murder mystery from the point of view of the killer would be shit. The whole point is that we don't know why John is doing what he's doing, for once the player knows as much as the characters do (or don't, in this case). If you don't understand that, you're missing the point of the entire fucking story.

Great edition of the gamer, £5 more then regular but has an artbook and CD with it
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B013B6H7R8

I'm getting that. Can't wait.

5840
Actually it doesn't even matter if Chief dies at the end of H5 because if it were up to 343 we won't even play as him in the next game lol

Have you always been this retarded or is it a recent development?

5841
You guys are hypocrites. You praised 343 for making Chief more human in 4. And now that he's finally being fleshed out and given more characterization we only get him for three levels, and you're completely fine with it. I'm not saying I don't like Locke, but it is terrible for him to have a 12:3 ratio to Chief.

So by this logic, you can make dog shit taste better by putting ketchup on it but you're a hypocrite for saying it tastes shit.

You're an idiot

5842
Well to be honest that does sound a little gay. I would have expected a little more camera time with Blue Team.

They couldn't have added, what, just even two more missions?

To be honest though, I wouldn't be surprised if theyre going to use that void to write a book/comic set during the time frame so we know more about what Chief and Friends got up to.

We've already had Last Light and Escalation #8-#10 for blue

5843
Do a lot of sidequests, the game is really really huge. You can do the main quest but I find an early aspect of it difficult at first when you go in this one building with these guys to get a dish.

I don't understand why he couldn't get his own bowl of stew.

Boo hoo you don't get to play as the blandest most boring character in the series.

Stop crying.

If you must get destiny, get it pre owned and don't support bungie.

If you've got a PC then there's not many games that would be worth getting on XB1aside from Halo.

None. I've never seen why taking somone (with different tastes) elses opinion would decide if I enjoy it. Unless it's like, a universal this is amazing/ this sucks. I prefer to watch YT videos because then I can get somewhat of an impression of how the game plays.

Dino Crisis 3 deserves a maximum of 0% but reviewers gave it positive integer scores

Holy shit where have you been the past 6 months?

Thanks for keeping everything in spoiler brackets

It still feels like yesterday when we saw the first piece of concept art and the E3 13 trailer, and really weird that we'll have played it this time in 2 weeks.
