Do you mean when will we get a Too Big remake or when will it be the featured map of the thread?

If it's the former, probably never. It's a PC map which are mostly forgotten and the name is confusing with CO'343's Infinity, the ship.

If it's the latter, then soon I'm guessing. Numberfag is onto the PC maps for the Halo CE rotation and there's only like 5 or 6 of them.

Good character but his importance is overrated, the franchise has gotten way bigger than him and a Halo game doesn't really need him to be good (if you think his absence in 5 was the reason that campaign was so bad, you need to leave right now).

"During this talk she discussed some of the painful lessons learned by 343 in the wake of Halo 5, particularly around the removal of split-screen support in the title. Going forward, expect all future Halo FPS games to include split-screen functionality! This news, along with me previously ensuring that black undersuits are being accounted for, should make a lot of longtime fans very happy indeed."

Another part of it is how a lot of the armours only take up minimal chest space. If you look at the width of the chestpieces on the MkVI and earlier, they pretty much go all the way to the shoulder.

By comparison, a lot of GEN2 armours, to give the shoulder pauldrons additional mobility, look more like harnesses than protective chest armours like 3 and 4 in >>169334629. If you look at the back side of some chest pieces in GEN2's, they're more like loose fitting plates than a full, enclosing, chest piece.

Why do people keep thinking that Cortana is going to recruit the Covenant and Brutes, specifically to fight against humans. Her current aegis is something along the lines of protecting all species, especially humanity if any, by bringing them under absolute control.

It doesn't really make sense that people are suggesting that she'd give preference to non-humans to wipe out humans.
>>
>>169337701
I agree, and I mentioned that in the post I made that I needed the image for.

>What’s your background prior to joining 343?

I grew up in Kansas (RCJH!), earned a degree in Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies (also a Minor in Geology) from KU, lived in Chicago for about a year, then moved here to Seattle. I worked as a Receptionist at Microsoft for a few months before being randomly placed at 343’s former building in Kirkland. It was a weird journey, but ultimately, I’m loving where I’ve ended up.

>It's not just speculation
AI having aliens wipe out humanity will never make sense to me in the context of Halo. I don't think I can suspend my disbelief to be satisfied with it unless Halo 6 has some masterclass, pinnacle of human literature tier writing to justify it why AIs would be fine with xenos rather than the humans they're based on and designed for.
>>
>>169337885
Now that I'm thinking about it, I'd say that the Didact comes back after being composed. I don't remember what happened with his metapod but I'd say he's coming back. This is supposed to be the forerunner trilogy and they didn't kill him off for a reason.

Now, when he does comes back, what if a copy of Cortana comes back too? I know I'm retarded but in Halo 4, Chief and Cortana were composed but Chief had that immunity so what if a copy of Cortana was composed? From what I know she was created from a brain tissue of Halsey.

So when the Didact comes back, the "Covenant" joins back up with him after he kills "bad" Cortana or after "bad" Cortana and Cortana merge which would somehow cost her the allegiance of the Warden Eternal and the rest of the Promethean army.

I really don't know what happened to the engineers and "prophets". I mean they could have been helping the Arbiter build his fleet if elites are so bad at doing that.

I'd assume at the start of Halo 6, Cortana would either send a guardian to stop the war between the Banished and Cutter or she would go there herself to stop it. I don't think Anders would be able to hide her identity from Cortana or the location from which she came. I mean where else could a Halo ring have been constructed? I mean regardless that goes in line with what Bonnie Ross said about telling a simple story. You don't need to play Halo Wars 2 to know about The Banished or The Spirit of Fire, you just need an explanation from Anders.

I think Cortana will lose her control very early in Halo 6 and the conflict will revolve around stopping the Didact again. It would be a hard sell otherwise for the Covenant to just join Cortana since in Halo 4, they only stopped fighting the Prometheans to worship the Didact.

Cortana wants control of the galaxy. She is crazy. She helps out covenant species in exchange for their allegiance for her to complete her goals.

It's slow, it sort of stumbles around trying to get into firing position, it has to go through its little bracing motion before its main gun fires which makes it difficult for it to acquire and fire on a moving target. It seems to keep switching targets without destroying them but that might have been me ordering it around too much. If you have two scarabs it's even worse because they'll walk into each other and disrupt each other's movement and firing.

Been playing Halo Wars 2 and I'm mad at how basic this game is. Even the storytelling/writing is dumbed down to appeal to kids. What happened to the old Bungie days where the writing was on point and there was some level of intrigue? Another thing bad about this game is the scope of it. RTS games feel immersive when you are partaking in massive battles but since this thing is a console game, you don't have that many units to control and the battles are scaled down. The FPS Halo games do a better job at making you feel like you're part of a massive battle. This game feels too small.
>>
>>169352308
The writing feels amateurish certainly. The problem with having the big spectacular fight though is that the Spirit is supposed to have barely half her crew around and her material support is probably going to be totaled so you can't really have a big grand fight if you want to keep it accurate.

>>169398085

I do not understand how Warzone works at all. Reach was very simple about it, attack this point, then the next up to the core similar to how BF1 currently works.

Now theres all this weird stuff with REQ packs which I don't really want to use because it feels pay to win-ish.

The weapons all have ironsights and gameplay feels slower which seems wrong for a Spartan supposedly skilled enough to not need that kinda stuff.

Big Team Battle maps seem small with nothing like Sandtrap from H3 around for fun and everything is so tightly compacted that you get ruined within 5seconds of spawning like you're playing COD instead of Halo.

Halo doesn't feel like Halo anymore, just another shooter wearing the same skin.
>>
>>169397409
If your just getting into war zone now you are fucked my dude. Req packs are a major part of that mode because of the unlockable shit in them. Play a few match making and social to get points
>>
>>169398061
Well if you mean the leaders units themselves then yeah, they've been massively nerfed and lost their special unit abilities, but if you mean leader/player abilities and such then i disagree, their overall playstyle is very different between each other in comparison to HW1's covenant.

>Atriox - slow but strong army/base building with a more defensive and counter attack focus.
>Decimus - 100% agressive playstyle with rushing and pressure tactics.
>Shipmaster - sneaky surprise attacks with cloaking and teleporting abilities.

>>169398432
>implying these aren't Spartans that weren't odst's so they aren't used to using them

>>169398432
There are 3 bases in warzone

You capture bases and kill enemies/bosses to get points

If you have all 3 bases, your enemies will be pushed back to their spawn where you can destroy their base to win

Not every weapon has ironsights, in fact them majority of the don't

You get REQ points after every match like credits from Reach. You use these to unlock REQ packs. No payment of real money necessary. And the unlocks are randomized, so someone who does use real money won't even get an advantage.

But in all honest warzone is shit, play warzone firefight and arena.
>>
>>169398432
There's 2 Warzone variants: Warzone and Warzone Assault.

Warzone
>Player vs Player vs AI
>Win by earning 1000 points or destroying the enemy's core
>Earn points by killing other players and AI enemies (kill AI bosses for the most points)
>3 neutral bases on the map that act as respawn points when captured by a team
>If your team captures all 3 neutral bases, the enemy team's main base will be unlocked for attack
>If you destroy the core at the enemy's base, you win

>Warzone Assault

It's not as pay-to-win as it sounds, there's several mechanics to prevent it from happening. High tier REQs are expensive to use, with high cooldown and it takes a while to unlock them in-match.

>The weapons all have ironsights and gameplay feels slower which seems wrong for a Spartan supposedly skilled enough to not need that kinda stuff.
Ironsights are just an aesthetical change, it still works the same way as the zoom-in from previous games. If you want to play this game right, you have to use your BR/Magnum/DMR like you always have, firing from the hip 90% of the time.

Halo 5 base movement speed is already h2 levels
>>
>>169401857
H5's base movement is definitely higher than 3's. I almost never sprint because it lowers your weapons and your shields won't charge back up.

And when I go back to halo 3 it feels like I'm a turtle wearing horse blinders (still a great game)

No point if they just make the maps larger, FOV also factors into how fast you think you're going, Halo 3 felt slow because the FOV was shit.

H3 is by far the slowest halo in terms of movement. Reach may be very close but most modes had sprint there, at the very least.

There is no reason to cater/compromise to the fans of the newer games because they largely don't exist.
Halo 5 on console has roughly 20-30k players at most at any given time and on PC it's the dictionary definition of a dead game.

That's not saying everything from 5 should be scrapped, but the idea that the two communities need to come together and find middle ground is a bit absurd. It would be like giving California the same amount of political power as Rhode Island just because they're both states.

>>169419850
Old Halo fans might win the popular vote but that's not everything you know.
>>
>>169419850
That assumes that 5's population is that low due to 5's quality itself, as opposed to the fact that 4 and MCC killed people's trust, that nobody owns xbone, and that Halo just isn't a normie/dudebro series anymore and hasn't been in almost a decade.

5 could have been objectively the best halo game in every way and it still wouldn't have sold as much or have a Halo 3 or eveen reach tier population.
>>
>>169420101
>>169420115
A game using the old Halo formula would be arguably more successful that Halo 5 simply because it's more accessible and offers something unique. It probably wouldn't reach the success of games like Halo 3 but it would most likely do better than Halo 5.
>>
>>169420101
True. I don't necessarily support catering to fans in general. I tend to think fans are stupid. I'm just pointing out that if you're going to cater to them at all, you have to keep in mind what most of them want.

>>169420115
I agree with what you're saying about the negativity built up by 4 and MCC (I'd throw Reach in there as well as being partly responsible) but if we look at the index of how much Halo 5 sold, the drop off in population is still massive.

Granted, if the game released with the content it has now, the drop might not be as huge. We will never really know...
>>
>>169420115
The game sold just under 4 million, but only about 10,000 people come back to it these days. If it were as solid as you imply, it should hold 100,000 easy.

Anytime a Halo 5 forge minigames gets uploaded on the Plebbit, all the Normies go "Wow this looks fun, I thought Halo 5 was just CoD with all the Aim down sights and sprint"

Having to compare the game to 4 to say it's trending less cod is a low bar. That's not good enough
>>
>>169420654
>That assumes that 5's population is that low due to 5's quality itself
Halo 5's quality was felt by roughly four million people. If it were for not the game's own quality, they would have stayed. Stuff like ' the fact that 4 and MCC killed people's trust" lowers sales, but those people that already bought and played don't suddenly go "this game suddenly turned to shit in my hands because I remember that 4 sucked."
>>
>>169420871
That's a fair analysis, but you have to wonder how much of that drop off is due to the campaign.
I would expect most people play the campaign to completion at least once before even touching multiplayer.
>>
>>169420856
4 was the worst by far

The more we distance ourselves from it, the better
>>
>>169421132
This.
A lot of people I know that bought Halo 5 and dropped it didn't get too into the multiplayer.

They played the campaign and rightfully hated it. Then, with an already grim mode towards the game tried to test out the multiplayer with a friend or two and realized there was no splits Creek and basically just ragequit the game.

You should guess again. Go into multiplayer and look at service records after a match. Hell, many people in /hg/ have not touched it at all, and neither have many people who have stuck around.

I wanna throw out a suggestion as to why Halo 5 wasn't successful:
>Locke
Nobody gives a shit about playing as helmetless SPARTANs.

This at its core I think is the reason why (tumblrtards can say its racism or whatever). The overwhelming majority of Halo players think the Chief is green under the helmet. People liked Six for being a murderspartanlet. Nobody gives a shit about Locke because he has an identity that is not SPARTAN and nothing else.

Furthermore, Locke was presented from the very beginning as an adversary (or at the very least someone unfriendly) to the Chief. I would wager that the majority of Halo fans over the years played simply for the Chief. And that's another unique aspect of Halo among FPS. The significance of its storylines over its multiplayer. How many Halo threads can you think of where someone doesn't post "TWO SCARABS"? Like, practically none. Big moments like that are what kept Halo alive long enough to become the MP juggernaut. As the perceived quality of the campaigns dwindled, so too did the people willing to stick around for 4v4s.

So back to Locke, when you have a fanbase that's so attached to beloved Chief (and Cotana) and make a game that despite having him on the cover barely fucking appears while pushing some literal who with no connections to the relevant past, you're gonna alienate a lot of those people. Hell, The Arbiter got a lot of flack, but most people like disgraced/framed commander revenge stories (remember the Gladiator movie?) and at least he had a direct connection to relevant history that the players had experienced.
And then regarding Cortana becoming a villain, while I think that crazy hate murder death kill AI stories are cool, this one just failed because NOT MUH, and almost everyone that played Halo 5's campaign to conclusion seems to have reached that consensus.

Personally, I hope they just reveal that "Cortana" in 5 was just a puppet or echo or something and 6 ignores as much of 5 as it can.
>>
>>169421431
There was a post in Reddit that some dad was trying to play Halo 5 with his son and realized there was no splitscreen. He even described that his son said, "why did they take it away?" Made that shit into sad sob story and made it to the front page.
This kind of stuff spreads so fast that nobody cares about the game itself unless it has splitscreen.

How the literal fuck is he actually supposed to fight the banished with a 30 year old ship with no jump drive and less than half a crew? I know he and the crew are bad asses, but any sane SOP would be to retreat and report to higher command. Also securing the god damn Halo ring that would be within striking distance of earth would have been a pretty good excuse not to die out in the middle of bum fuck nowhere.

>Which is exactly why playing as chief game after game after game is horrible
On one hand, I agree and I think we need more spinoffs. Gimme a game where I play as a greenhorn S-IV, some variety would be cool.
On the other hand, I don't think there's any reason Chief can't be a centerpiece and not be stale. Treat it like mythology or something, I mean his primary stat is luck. The problem is scale and scope. 5's best mission is Blue Team and all it is just a little recon/asset protection. There's no giant ring of doom or digitizer. I can totally believe that the Chief and friends can come back from that alive. Why not a game where the Chief goes around killing terrorists?

I love rides off into the sunset.

Going back to my earlier post, when I said people play for Chief, I think I might've been close to getting at something more when I mentioned 6. There's also the Rookie, and they all share the same common thing of just being heroic faceless badasses.
I know it wasn't very popular (and I think that's less to do with it and more to do with the platform it was presented on), but I've seen mostly positive opinions on Crimson itself which shares in the tradition above.

Not really, fans love playing Master Chief because they can picture themselves as him. People love the power fantasy of being an unstoppable badass and saving the day, planet, galaxy, or universe. This is why Chief will never go away. 343 made the same mistake as Bungie, they shoehorned another character in Chief's story that already had character, someone you couldn't plant yourself in while taking away from the main plot (stopping the Covenant invasion of Earth, stopping the Guardians from taking over the Galaxy). When playing both Halo 2 & 5 no one wanted to go through all this Covenant politics or hunting down the truth of what Master Chief was doing. Everyone wanted to experience the events of saving the universe as the Chief again because they were the Chief. This is the reason the Rookie and Noble Six never got any flak compared to Arby and Locke because they were basically you.

Shorter levels and that storyline caused the campaigns gameplay and level design to suffer and not in a good way.

Except in Halo 2, there are 2 main protganists. Your entire arguement implies that MC is inherently "above" other characters and that's only true as long as bungie made it true, which they didn't in 2.
>>
>>169436518
>>169437687
The problem is Master Chief was made like a typical FPS character and Bungie totted Halo CE as the players experience. With Halo 2 they kind of threw that out the window with Arbiter, a character with a face and personality in which players couldn't see themselves as. Locke had the same problem with the bonus of being a shit character with a bad story.

How did you feel about the AI bringing sweet death to ayyys?

>>169447286
Story wise or mechanics wise? I thought the structure of actually having some meaningful objectives was done better in Halo Wars 2, however the cutscenes only barely strung the story together. I wish they could have done more of those so I could actually fully enjoy Isabel's revenge (the cutscene was good, but she pouts for like 2 minutes then gets on board).

>>169447314
I loved it, the sad part was that I wanted to have more of it. The original Halo Wars had a cutscene after every mission, almost like a reward because they were so well rendered. I was kind of sad there weren't more. Introspection could have been fine but they had to hit it hard because they had so few of the cutscenes. Have her not want to help the ship at first, recommending running away. After they successfully perform the first attack, have her start her revenge arc.

The lack of cutscenes made them take a less subtle route.

Interesting opinion. Only time I've heard this said. Personally I think Halo 4s BTB is honestly the worst in the franchise. The maps are awful and the DMR being as OP as it was killed map movement. The Reach DMR was no where near as accurate which made larger maps vastly more playable. Reachs maps might have been mostly forged but they were still much better on average. Being BTB maps, 4s strangely felt incredibly cramped especially Exile.

Oh god yes. This was better than 4's BTB and Reach's normal BTB.
>Fucking Halo 4 was a clusterfuck.
Can't argue with that, but I still managed to have a lot of fun with the MP. It was an "interesting" departure, but they went further too far in the wrong direction with 5.
I really enjoyed Dominion and Regicide, but yeah, Reach was easily better in most regards.

Yeah man not saying you can't enjoy it though, at the end of the day as long as you enjoy it then good for you but I consider 4 the weakest BTB for all the reasons mentioned above. Dominion could be pretty fun at times.

As much as I hate this kinda thinking, I agree. I like ancient megacivilizations and such, but it feels like they violated the "Ridley rule" (which Ridley himself did as well) by exploring way too much.
I long for the days where the Didact was the tragic last paragon of his people who seemingly vanished into time. Instead it turns out he was that AND also a moustache twirling supervillian because of brain rewriting shit that's been boring for decades. To make it worse, Halo is already clihce as all get out for a sci-fi series, but it (was) done in a way that's really, really close to the chest and taut. Sure there's massive scope, but the problem with 343 (and to a much lesser extent, Bungo era expanded shit), they blow the lid off of that cap that kept things grounded.
Like Infinity makes sense, cool ship, it's a war ark, right?
But it's huge, it escorts its own fucking escort fleet. Now this isn't really a problem, but thanks to incompetent writing, it has to have some new BIGGER thing to cut its teeth on because that's just how it's "supposed" to work.

Prometheans aren't a terrible idea, per se (we have Sentinels, why can't there be more Forerunner constructs that didn't get eradicated?), but now there's an eebil Forerunner who basically everyone except bookfags knew to be this stalwart protector of life and then suddenly there are all sorts of ancient humans and it just doesn't fit with what we know of established Halo lore, but they ned to do it because they have to (de)legitimize the Didact.
The nuDidact lore is a cool story, don't get me wrong (Bear isn't my favorite author, mind, but he's got some good concepts and sense of scale), but it just feels incompatible what's come before.

SpOps, and many will disagree, I think was a good way of refocusing the scope of Halo (even if it too helped blow the cap off) with the Janus Key plot. Why can't there be a cartographer for the galaxy, there's one for all the big Forerunner installations we've encountered so far? It helps return the setting to something smaller, because >the world is flat.

I think he meant no Halo games are bad, but there can be games that are bad at being Halo games

>>169455764
Maybe so. In any event Halo 5 is squarely in the "NOT GOOD" category.
It blows to cause I really thin there was almost a great game, but nah, rewrites and corporate flubs.

Seriously, why the fuck did they put a Mass Effect reaper in the fist level of the game?
>>
>>169455964
A reaper? In halo 5? What?
>>
>>169455964
I still am, a year latrler, speechless that they literally made it a man vs machine mass effect esque plot.
>>
>>169456171
That first mission in Halo 5 (and later on Sanghelios) has the drill siege engine thing that is clearly supposed to evoke a Reaper; from the shape, to the presentation, to sound design, only thing it was missing was it telling Locke what hurts him.
>>169456236
It's so goddamn contrived. Like I get it, sure, it's an easy path, but they could've just done it as the Warden continuing on the Didact's will and "Cortana" was being used to lure the Chief into giving the Warden true command of all the Forerunner installations, but nah, Cortana was teh bad guise all along.

Just how did we go from this?

Disagree. The best thing they could have done with armor abilities is to scrap them entirely and put everyone back on a level playing field, which is what they did in 5.

>They don't know what story they want to tell. See the Janus Key. See Halo 5.
Trust me, I know, I had the misfortune of deciding to read Escalation, here's a quote from the Library Edition of Escalation

“When these issues were first conceived, we thought maybe the Didact was going to be in Halo 5. He was certainly present in the story early on, but as the plan for the next few years of the franchise (books, comics, other games, etc.) took shape, Didact became extraneous to the story we were telling.”
>>
>>169458875
Yikes. It's doubly hilarious because the Warden may as well have just been the "Didact".
>>
>>169458636
>Which she got over.
You don't get over rampancy. In fact, in Halo 5 she is exhibiting literally textbook rampancy, the textbook in this case being Contact Harvest.

"Rampancy is a terminal state of being for artificial intelligence constructs in which the AI behaves contrary to its programming-imposed constraints. Traditionally, this is linked with the AI developing delusions of godlike power and contempt for its mentally inferior makers. When rampancy occurs, there is no way to restore the AI to its previous state and the only alternative is to destroy it before it harms itself and others around it."

Okay, you are either foreign or just went full autistic here. Things have been promoted as "bigger, badder, [optional third adjective beginning with the letter 'b']" since at least the 1960s when it was all over the promotion of sporting events, particularly boxing title matches.

Grammatical correctness doesn't enter into the equation.

But it's not, in Tales from Slipspace it is revealed that Halo 5 Cortana is a rampant fragment of Halo 4 Cortana. Seeing how 343 is simplify Halo games post Halo 5, this may be explained in Halo 6.

>Without the user even opening the Store, or asking for his or her permission, the operating system installs some apps like Candy Crush Soda Saga, Minecraft: Windows 10 edition, Flipboard, Twitter and some other apps. Earlier, you could prevent Windows 10 from installing them using a Registry Tweak, but it does not work any more in version 1607 "Anniversary Update".

Whenever you have an OS update, MS will install Candy Crush on your PC without your permission. That is, unless you follow 10+ steps in some obscure area in the OS. Even then, there's no guarantee that MS won't work around it and install these apps on the next update anyway.

How do Win10fags justify this?

Currently playing MCC for the first time, I'm midway through Halo 3. What game does the community like the most? I feel like Halo 3 already feels like a modern shooter (easy, lots of cutscenes). Story seems nice but it doesn't have that space opera feel of Halo 2 so far.

The Didact would make much more sense as an enemy. I'd be happy if they brought back a Forerunner AI, even.

The idea of Cortana directing the enemies she fought against for 4 Halo games against her beloved Chief doesn't make any sense. They've totally ruined her character if they want her to kill Chief and thinking the Covenant's remnants are suitable to do the job.

I was on last night and there was only a handful of games in the browser and they were all either full or empty.

The potential is there. The audience isn't. Halo 6 will fix this. Hell, it's already shaping up to be a much better game than 5.
>>
A month ago I requested a list with all the 343 apologists on one side and biased Bungie nostalgiafags on the other.

Did anyone deliver on that or not?

4 has waaaayyy better maps than 5 for BTB thats for sure.

>>169523926
Hiro said in his most recent Q and A that /vg/ is one of the potential boards first in line for the chop block if it comes to it so you might get your wish.
>>
>>169523998
Well sure.
Everything in 5 that's not forge-related is a mess.
There's plenty of good BTB candidates out there but 343 somehow keeps selecting the absolute bottom of the barrel.
>>

>>169524317
That's because the vocal discord/active company group =/= the majority of the thread activity. They're just the loudest.
>>
>>169524317
It's only about the campaign levels. Story, multiplayer+other modes weren't taken into account.
>>
>>169524146
Even 5's forge maps for BTB are fucking trash, they even look and feel like trash too. How hard is it for them to outsource proper maps? that's all they did for H4 anyways.

/pol/ was always... Pretty out there, but it served it's niche as a Ron Paul-esq club that generated plenty of worthwhile memes for a while.

Then the 2016 election went underway and the board went straight to shit.

You could.
The point is you can't buy them on Switch, and seeing as the vast majority of gamers buy consoles for games like those, the switch not having them is a huge issue if they want the console to be successful.
>>
>>169532984
But i'm not a nintendrone who actually cares if it sells well or not.

And that number isn't big enough to make the console a success on its own.
Unless you consider the GameCube and Wii U to be successful, in which case... well, just don't even plan on running a buisness.
>>
>>169534006
Wii and 3ds beg to differ, but okay
>>
>>169534195
Wii was sold on a gimmick. That fad is over. The wii U proved that.

And the 3DS never had any real competition. The vita was a joke. Even then, it had an abysmal launch with Nintendo having to slash the prices because nobody was buying it.
>>
>>169534195
Please. The wii tried something new, got a huge audiance, and discuss nothing with it. By the end of gen 7 everyone had a Wii and nobody was using it. Consumers didn't fall for the same trick twice. See: the Wii U.

We know why it failed, and that's due to godawful marketing and nobody knowing what the fuck it actually was. Even then, it still made its money back.
>>
>>169534672
It failed because it had no games anyone wanted to play besides nintenyearolds.

Also
>implying market share isn't a major metric for success
"b-but they don't compete with Microsoft and sony"
Yes they do.
>>
>>169534672
>releasing a console that is less powerful than the current generation consoles right before Scorpio releases
No devs want to work with it
The best they could get from Bethesda was (drum roll) skyrim... and not even the remastered edition.
Really, that's the best you could get from them? What about Fallout 4? What about Doom 2016?

Looking forward to the excuses from you when it's quarter 4 and none of the big sellers are releasing on Switch.
>>
>>169534897
>nintenyearold
I mean, I should've guessed I was talking to /v/eddit.
And if we're going to bring up market share, Microsoft is fucking dead, considering they can barely double the Wii U's sales with the Xbone.
>>
>>169535142
>no devs want to work with it

>>
>>169535340
So only Sony can actually break super sales, so we can agree.
Now it's just unfortunate that the PS4 actually has no fucking exclusives worth a shit.

Post your PS4 library. You sound pretty well versed in how bad the PS4 is. Sounds like you've played it a lot.
>>
>>169535609
>I don't know what you autists are on about, but if we're talking devs then the only console devs ever refused or hated was the PS3 because of that dumb cell shit
And yet it still got AAA dev support.
Multiplayer on the PS3 were a joke, but they were there, and by the end of the generation they helped the PS3 pass the 360 in overall sales.

Then they need to stop whining about being poor on the internet and either 1) give up gaming; it's a luxury hobby. Go play basketball, soccer or some shit in the park instead. 2) get a part time job to fund their gaming habit like I did in college 3) get wealthier and/or more gullible parents.

There's also 4) start fucking some 6/10 bitch you met at videogame club who has the console you want to play but don't want to spend money on. This is how I got to play Metal Gear Solid 4 and the Uncharted series without ever giving Sony a dime.
