I'm not saying it looks bad, just very brown. Graphically it's very good, not an art style I particularly like though.
I also find the gameplay just kinda dull, assuming it's similar to the Dark Souls series. I thought it got quite repetitive. The complete lack of story in Dark Souls also turned me off. And invasions are quite possibly the most stupid idea I've ever heard of. Who thought it would be a good idea to let a massively high leveled guy invade and kill someone in one hit. There was literally nothing I could do. Lost all my souls as well.
Also no pause, seriously? Games have had pause buttons for decades.
On a more Halo note: I like the Halo team in #IDARB.
It is
It's from a section of the game leading up to a fight I think. But it is in game.

If you're willing to push through the punishment, Bloodborne might actually interest you. Its combat, while still very similar to Demons and Dark Souls, looks to be much more aggressive and fast paced. It's excitingI did say I loved the art
Do you even Gorgeous View bro?
I think the art and style is beautiful but yeah the actual graphics aren't exactly top of the line.
I really hope Zelda has co op.
Would be soooooooo goooooood. If not though, we at least have Bloodborne for a rollicking good time.
Since these updates aren't doing anything, they might as well put their effort into actually changing something.
I mean I'm not a fan of the series either, but you just say it's not for you. Only interest I have in Bloodborne is from PS4 owners and it looks nothing different from what I played in Dark Souls.
No story... NO STORY?
Dark Souls is literally FILLED with story.
It's one of the moat storyful games with a story that I've ever had the pleasure to story. It's just not shoved in your face like so much other story telling in games these days.
High level Invaders are not supposed to happen. Those are people that use game hacks (which is relatively easily). Invasions are a great system when not being broken as it adds a new element (a player) into the mix when you least expect it, creating an intersting challenge as well as a cool duel. You can even just go hollow if you don't want invasions

The lack of a pause button is by design. Partly to accommodate the online system, and partly to make preparation all the more important. If you really need to leave your game just exit. You'll be put back in where you left off.
Haven't played it yet.
Really want to.
Really hope he's able to pull through.
He's done a lot of cool things that have brought a lot of joy.

I know nothing about dork souls save for that it's eazyb's speedrun spirit animal and even I know it's got plot. It's on some Metroid shit. Don't hate subtlety, you'll cowards.
Gotta have some type of reasoning to validate your opinion you know?

I wonder what the correlation is between the people who can't handle Dark Souls and people who can't handle BR starts? Like, 0.9?

Alright, maybe I phrased the story comment wrong. The completely obtuse method of story telling didn't sit well with me. I'd rather have the story actually told to me rather than being forced to find it out. I don't mind having extra lore details hidden away to be found, however when the main story is told that way I don't really like it.
I can see invasions being pretty cool, there was one time when it pissed me off because I had just died before and I had a shit tonne of souls on me after doing some grinding. So I lost all of them because some massively overleveled guy killed me. If it had given me someone similarly leveled and I had a good duel I think I would have enjoyed it more.
As for pause, nope. It's ridiculous. It doesn't have to be a pause menu with anything like the inventory on it. All I'm asking for is to be able to pause the game whilst I answer the phone, or the door, or something else which quite often suddenly happen in life. Instead of being forced to open the menu and find the quit button (whilst hoping the monsters I was just attacking don't kill me) and then sit through some loading screens when I return a minute later. Also why not design it so that you're taken out of the online when you pause then re-join when you unpause? It's just silly design trying to make the game more "hardcore" when in reality all it does is make the experience worse.
The lack of pause is probably one of my biggest problems with the game, not even joking. It just blows my mind how stupid it is.
Also IDARB is completely bonkers, and amazing. Make sure to turn on twitter bombs before playing. It's just... ridiculous.
So are we talking about Souls games, or is this secretly a Halo 3 discussion?

It was actually Bloodborne
God dammit.
I can respect that. Well except for the pause button. You're obviously just a babbie
I personally found subtlety very refreshing. Exploring the world, I wanted to know and learn more about it and the characters. Discovering and piecing it together was almost a game in itself.
I look forward to checking out IDARB. Sounds like a blast.
I laughed
I'm convinced you're a wizard

Yep, absolutely no mention of a patch or even an update for TMCC. Sigh.

Well yeah, it's a company communique that focuses on the positives/promotion, not on how they're messing up.
They REALLY need to be better at explaining what the hold up is, though. The fans are already riled up, and delays on a BETA patch, a patch that a vast majority of the players (that are left) won't even get to download for at least after the preview release. Shit sucks, I'm pissed I can't play Halo, I'm getting tired of Titanfall/Destiny.

Yeah, that's just weird. I thought we'd at least get a still working on it message. sigh

Friendly reminder to grab #IDARB on the Xbox - been playing most of this evening, and it's really really good. When the connection sucks its really really bad though.
But mostly good. And free. Free is nice.
Looks like Frankie designed a Mister Chief pixel character as his twitter handle is listed under it in the menu.

Just tried to play a game online. The lag is worse in this than the MCC.
And I thought I bought a game which worked exactly as I remembered it 10 years ago. Silly me.
I don't know, I prefer the written bulletins to these. These bulletins just feel like I'm watching some advertisements or something. Also, that Minecraft Halo trailer is like 6 months old now. No mention of stuff from the Halo 5 beta, nothing about MCC, but hey here's my dog.
It has the stench of PR all over it. I don't want a host talking buzzwords at me. I want someone with word skills typing their hearts out about Halo.

You should be deeply ashamed.So I thought the MCC had just crashed.
Turns out I was kicked for too many betrayals

Halo was once a cool guy, then Halo 2 came around and brought the plague. The rest is history.
Thank you all.

I'd be inclined to disagree; the best of 4 post turbo update, Legendary BRs, tops Reach's best pretty handily.

4 is only better than Reach in terms of maps and graphics. That's it.
Bungie's worst is better than 343's sad attempts.

I honestly liked Reach's graphics (antialiasing solution aside) better than 4s. Reach felt like a very well realized world and the environments were excellent. Something about Halo 4 just feels off. It's hard to describe but it's almost like everything has this plastic look. Maybe it's the materials idk.
