343i tryin'a turn Master Chief into Sonic with all this MCC bullshit, if the thread is any indication.

Microsoft can't afford to have its marquee franchise get this kind of negative criticism. They don't have much else on the pipeline. Sony has enough of a worldwide market to sell without any standout first party games; Microsoft doesn't.

What is it with AAA gaming this year? Everyone is releasing broken shit. Even that wack "PS4 has no games (that I like)" meme is irrelevant, because even first party games are broken. The only one releasing any working games is Nintendo, but they tryin'a sell a 2006 console with 2003 network infrastructure in 2014.

They sell that way because GT, Uncharted, etc all show up, so it's a pretty safe bet.
But I agree that the negative attention isn't good.

How Smash Bros/Nintendo free online gonna have better functionality day one than XBL Gold MCC and the blank check MS wrote them niggas tho

The real tragedy. Although in fairness, Nintendo's online is basically just matchmaking...oh, damn.

I wonder if 343i (or any of the other maligned studios) is full of employees who used to be game journalists and used that as a springboard into the industry, instead of actually learning the essential skills.

I mean, it's the only way to explain how they seem not to know what the fuck they are doing.

It would also explain some of the dumbass quotes about resolution and framerate...

Way I hear it, 343 outsourced a lot of this shit and just kinda ducktaped it together. Go to wikipedia, they got the "Additional Work by" lookin' like UbiSoft credits

343 Industries
Additional work by:

Saber Interactive (Halo 2 '​s campaign)
Certain Affinity (Halo 2 '​s multiplayer)
Ruffian Games (Halo 3 and 4)
United Front Games[1] (unified interface)


shouldve just focused on Halo 2 man >_<

So much this. I remember when you have a beef with someone or take issue with some words, you just come back, release a diss track and uploaded on zshare or megaupoad v1.0 and be talked about it on the school bus the next day. All this taking the high road on twitter isn't in the rapper's starter pack.

Same shit they did with Halo 4, outsourced the maps, UI, armor designs, music. Games built by 343 different companies.

343 is making Halo 5, they obviously didn't have anybody really overseeing this. Say what you will about Halo 4 but it worked. Outsourcing like this was playing with fire. 4 different net codes 6 graphics engines all working together.

Eminem hasn't learned a damn thing. Upping the shock factor to distract from your shitty music, not a good look when you're 42 years old. Iggy isn't the type to hit back with a verse, which is too bad because it would be nice to get someone to roast.

That because it's what his fans wanted.

When Em came on that "Not Afraid" tip, everyone was all like "We want the old Em back, I wish he was on drugs again." People shit on Recovery, but dude had made some legit strides with his subject matter (that ain't saying much, though). But everyone wants the old Em just like everyone wants the old Jigga. And now, Em is trying to deliver that. Nigga is 42 dying his hair and making rape lyrics against pop stars.

But Em has been doing this shit for years, that's what's so fucked up about all of it. His fans want that, and he's trying to deliver. Even though I like most of his new stuff, it's pretty obvious he's making music by committee. If you want his music to show some growth, then let him grow. But, as long as he's under pressure from both his label and his fans, he'll keep doing this shit until it's no longer commercially viable...

EDIT: Also, TI won't diss Em. They've been best friends since Proof died, according to both of them...

Saw this post last night in the MCC OT:

Pez said:
Well NeoGaf, here's the cold, hard truth. I just hopped onto Halo 3 on the Xbox 360 and it had a population of 636 people. I jumped in Social Slayer hoping for the best and was matched up for a 5v5 game in less then 10 seconds.

30 seconds later, I was enjoying a game of Team Slayer on High Ground.

Seriously, this launch window (it's been nearly two weeks now, I don't know what to call it at this point) is a thing for the books.

OG Halo 3 still works like it did in 2007 with less than 700 people playing it.

So I just got through watching a porn video this morning where there was, like, a 4 minute-long intro where everything was over-exposed and golden-looking. This ain't Naruto, man! I don't need to know how many villages got saved by the power of friendship since last episode!

http://www.hiphopdx.com/index/news/...hart-to-include-streaming-digital-track-sales

The Billboard 200 albums chart is set to begin incorporating on-demand streaming and digital track sales in an attempt to paint a more detailed picture of music consumption. This makes Billboard the first chart to include such metrics and marks the chart’s largest upgrade since Billboard first starting using Nielsen’s SoundScan to measure album sales over 23 years ago, in May of 1991.
Click to expand...

"The new methodology for the Billboard 200 is a welcome and necessary evolution of Nielsen and Billboard's album chart data. The ways in which fans consume music, and the ways in which music is monetized, have grown beyond the traditional metrics of album sales. Music consumption in today's marketplace is a diverse mix of access and acquisition, including on-demand streaming, track and album downloading, and physical product purchasing. The introduction of this expanded scope chart brings the Billboard 200 more closely in line with the multi-platform, multi-format experience of music fans.”

Can someone start a thread for me? This is pretty big news for the indie artist flying under the radar, and musicians in general...

Nah man they went at me with all that complex interview shit. Twice too. "What are your strengths/weaknesses?" "Describe a situation in which you and a team accomplished a goal." etc. This came after a computer test where I had to do a bunch of division in my head.

Mind you, this is a mostly backroom job.

I think they ask you that shit to see what your personal skills are like. Any monkey could do those jobs but they want to find one with some sense and a good demeanor.
