I hope you like the campaign, because that is all you're gonna get unless you do like competitive multiplayer.
I mean, so far its quite fun. I don't really care about coop campaign, multi modes not being able to be chosen is kind of annoying but it does mean you aren't waiting forever in a queue that no one wants to join and if you really want to do a certain mode you can make a custom game.
Glad you're having fun, but still does not invalidate 343 and Microsoft's major screw ups, and the lack of the most basic features is no excuse. You may not care, but there are plenty of others that do. Still, enjoy.
What major screw ups? I mean aside from the way they are handling the cosmetics, the game is very solid. It might be missing a few features from the series, but that is hardly a major screw up.
I wouldn't call that a few; especially if you're playing $60+ and not with Game Pass. Especially if it is simple features that have been in the series since the original trilogy. It may seem minor for smaller or studio that is green, but when it is coming from a big AAA that knows better, the issues I would not call minor. I won't deny the good the single player has achieved, but it's no excuse for slacking off, nor making a game tedious to play the multiplayer, nor removed standard custom features for reason, nor for the ridiculously long updates and patches. A studio with such a high pedigree has no excuses.
Figure it out. I just gave you the reasons. Otherwise, start looking at other sources. I suggest Act Man, Seraphim17, or even our very own Escapist. Check the Halo thread. I have nothing left to tell you.
Well the multi has gone free to play, which is something the rest of the series also hasn't done. The only unfortunate I see here is the lack of coop, which I think kinda messed up Halo 3 since instead of the Arbiter having his own missions, they just made him the coop partner. What does ridiculously long updates and patches mean?
When you say "major screw up", I think of another game that came out recently. Grand theft auto definitive edition. So to me, when you say "major screw up" it sounds like you are saying its something along the lines of that game, which seems ridiculous to me.
GTA Remastered is not a major screw up....it's an inexcusable disaster and treachery of the highest order. GTA Remastered is only a "major screw up" by comparison to Halo Infinite. It does not change the fuck ups 343 made. We still have another case of AAA studio not having standard features available at launch like the previous games, and giving you a gimped version at the start while paying $60+. It's what is wrong with this broken system in the first place, and gamers who try "forgive and forget" or make sad excuses only keep adding to the cycle and letting them get away with this dumb ass shit.

No you don't. Works fine offline.
This is such a bad argument, if you want the features of those old games, go play those old games, they are still around, hell they just got remastered so they even look really good (mostly). For the laggyteabag post, 343 is right, if there is a deathmatch only mode then it will always get the most traffic, to the point where it kills off other game modes, we see that in the cod games all the time. The UI argument is dumb if they did indeed make that.
Except that in this specific case, neither of those things is true. The remastered GTA games actively look worse than the 6th-gen originals due to problems with AI-generated upscaling and modelling, and Rockstar took the originals away from sale so people who don't still have those old discs can't buy them anymore, so they're stuck with the worse versions. You're arguing a generality against an instance that directly disproves it.
We are talking about Halo. I would agree that the "definitive" edition of gta is indeed a disaster since they did pull the old version from all store fronts because 'take 2' sucks. But that post was about Halo.
I reread the whole chain and it looks like I misread that one post because it was down the end. Sorry about that.
RDO is definitely getting the cold shoulder in favor of GTAO. It’s functional and has a good amount of content, but next to their *other* game it’s a damn shame and wasted potential. The stuff people have been asking for the last couple years is still MIA, while GTAO gets routine feature rich updates.
It's definitely one of those games where it can take a while to click, if it ever does.
Totally agreed.
