Support NeoGAF

[Tawpgun]

Just a heads up, Josh said he agrees that DLC is bad for splitting communities in a conversation we had on TB.

Could be just his own personal opinion regardless of what MS decides to do with DLC monetization, OR, is proof they won't be splitting the DLC community anymore in Halo 5.

The context made it seem like he agrees it's best Halo 5 doesn't have paid DLC maps.

Hope so

Can feel the dani salt in the air

I'd have to imagine the Halo 4 DLC sales were really poor, I didn't even bother buying the one that had the Pit in it.

I bought it and didn't play it like at all.

Bought it because I like The Pit. =/

I know some of you guys don't care about this stuff, rightfully so, but it would also go a long way to making 343i/Halo look somewhat good again if all the maps were free.

It's a smart/logical practice, but also not a very common thing that occurs when you have stuff like BF Premium, CoD DLC map packs, etc.

Could help jump-start a turn-around for their image. Again, I know some of you guys don't care about this stuff, but for me personally, it would be nice to enjoy talking about Halo 5 without constantly being reminded I'm a "sheep" for supporting them after MCC.

If they mention all map DLC is free before launch I will buy the game at launch. If not I'll just wait for black friday sales

Thank you. It wouldn't let me link it, it kept giving me an error

You had a capital J in your link instead of .jpg

Not surprised. Moderation in this place is inconsistent. Wonder what it was for.

His last post seems to fit what the tweet was saying. Wonder how long it was for.

I think because he used the "r word" in poor taste. It is what it is. I hope it's not a perma, though. That's a heavy hit... :/

 

[Grexeno]

So...............what was the word?

Spoiler

Or would we all say he deserved it if he actually said what it was.

There's a difference between herd mentality and blind support, and wanting to support the franchise and see things turn around.

Fact is, the fan base is in the state it is in because of how 343 has acted and the choices they have made. Nobody wants to waste time bitching, we all just want a quality game we can slip into for hours and have fun. Halo 4 didn't deliver on this for a lot of fans. Then MCC happened.

"Trust us" "Feels like Halo" "Exactly as you remember".

I find it hard to place any trust in any company that makes bold claims and promises yet produces a product that severely under-delivers in terms of quality and expectations. Twice.

By all means be excited, and want Halo to be good. We all want that. Just try and learn from past mistakes and don't take 343 blindly at their word until they actually prove something to the fans, instead of the stockholders and managers.

R word? After Nintendo's "Waggler" I dont know how many bad words are in the english language

 

[RedSparrows]

Works both ways, though. People will happily elide decisions they don't like with 343 being 'incompetent'.

R word? Heckfu GOT'EEM!

I don't blindly support any company, if the shit they were putting out for the campaign and if the Beta wasn't so good, I wouldn't be excited.

As for pre-ordering? Fuck that noise, it's not a smart thing to do. Wait to see if the servers work, etc.

Can't believe people are hating on SwatNUMS. Best part of Halo 3 Swat.

Heckfu. The guy who was banned on NeoGAF.com for activity off of NeoGAF.com.
Frankie. The guy who was banned for a poor form joke, while I stay unbanned for insulting jem. What a site.

First Halo game I have not pre-ordered.

Pre-ordering is free money for big businesses to earn interest on your cash. It's a parasite on the industry.

 

[Haruko]

I thought Frankie was still under a voluntary ban that started a couple weeks ago...

 

[Welfare]

"-blam- was a good game"?

Might want to edit that. Don't want to get banned now do you?

You know what you get for pre-ordering a game? A big dick in your mouth.

This is your magnum opus.

On this, I think most of HaloGAF is in agreement.

She left already? That's crazy, I wonder on what terms.

 

[Tawpgun]

Fuck crag mire

 

[Slightly Live]

No idea. The original is better than the remaster though.

Hehe.

 

[ElzarTheBam]

Fuck crag mire

You know what, this is the perfect analogy

The MCC is Cragmire

 

[wwm0nkey]

Yeah just saw it on my FB feed, she is at Amazon Air now apparently.

Pretty crazy she's already gone from ND.

Remember when you were hoping Halo 5 had Cragmire? I remember.

Hehe.

Yeah watching the cutscene you can barely even see the civil war...
