Would you want Bungie to return to making Halo?

forgot my vid youtu.be/ubo_IowN9NI

One of gaming's biggest redpills is that Bungie was never good

Why do these companies chase away the core dev talent and instate this ugly nepotism system? And it only took them like 5 years to do this with the entire industry

Hot take: Halo has never been good. Not ever.

sounds like someone got filtered by the minigame

Yes, Bungie and the Halo franchise both became shit in different ways, you just have to enjoy what they created and appreciate that they managed to solidify their series with five solid titles before it all succumbed to corporate mismanagement.

Can you really blame them, Crucible is pretty shit.
I'm just angry I have no one to do Trials with so I'll never get Astral Horizon.

Trials wouldn't be so bad if the game had a fucking region locks for the 3 festering pits of cheating scum. Also fuck elimination.

I want a singleplayer only immersive sim Marathon

Year 2 of Destiny 2 was genuinely good. Substantial game changing DLC with a good campaign, and a full year of equally game changing and occupying seasons.

Year 3 is a fucking joke. Recycling the exact same ideas over and over, worse than the last time usually. It all feels like it was developed by a B-team. The make decisions like they don't understand what players want when we're often very vocal. We just want new ideas. Season of the Drifter was a shitshow, but it was new, substantial, and game changing. That's far better than the soulless shit of Year 3.

Please Bungie, get it right next month or I just can't have hope for this game anymore.

Dont tell me you bought the new dlc

I don't mind Year 3, but I had completely skipped Year 2 and most of Year 1 since I only bought the release game and didn't touch it once I finished the campaign.
I thought Dawn and now Arrivals were actually quite good.
Still, I hope their decision to limit destinations, raids, and gear does actually help the game's health.

Absolutely fucking not. I'll wait for reviews, but reviews have a tendency to be difficult to interpret for D2. Most likely will just have to find a new time sink.

I guess by that logic no game studio was ever good

Ive just stopped playing multiplayer and loot games all together and only play singleplayer games and mods

I sort of liked dawn actually, even though it had a new menagerie ripoff. Having 1 raid and 2 dungeons (only 1 until the final season of year 3) just plain isn't enough for endgame players. Y2 occupied me week after week with all the great raids and new activities to do, Y3 had easily half the content and so little of it was new or even challenging.

Marathon and Myth exist tho

Same here. Just finished up Detroit and now I'm trying to finally finish Doom: Eternal while I wait for Ghostrunner tomorrow and Watch Dogs.

At least if Watch Dogs sucks I got it for free. Sigh.

i think there is a place that is solely dedicated to destiny where you can find people to play with, I think its like a forum or some shit, you should try finding that place

>did they tarnish their legacy with Reach?
No, they tarnished their legacy with Halo 2 & 3

Not gonna lie, it may have to do with pushing "diversity" quotas. More and more companies are becoming more "woke" to sell their products. Hell, right now California has a proposition on the ballot that wants 'diversity' to become a mandatory factor in its state's hiring process.

I want Bungie to get an influx of management who actually understands video games and what makes them fun so they can put their actually competent devs to good use. Everything they have done since Destiny 1 and including most of that game has felt like it was driven by people who have no clue how to design games but are still under enormous pressure to make money from them

how does it have anything to do with that? in the real world, people create something and they move on to other projects, especially if they are actually creative-- i.e., the type of people who, in this case, would make games worth playing. the mere fact that bungie was forced to crank out Halo for so long is what killed their talent pool, that and the march of years

But destinys biggest problem isn't that the content isn't fun, it's that there isn't enough of it.

aside from raids, and even then with D2 it's up and down, it's not fun once you see how shallow it is which should take the average person about 5 hours max. it's a bad video game through and through, I mean what even is the gameplay? a snorefest of e3 demo style gameplay where you walk through rooms full of enemies who just stand there and die that you could probably beat blindfolded? what a great open world, what a great campaign. pve and pvp kept tightly coupled to one another balance-wise so that basically, neither ever have any hope of being fun or interesting? sign me up for that please, followed by euthanasia

I unironically believe valve is the only developer that could make a good halo game. Their writing is ok but in a time where most writing is complete trash, they shine above the rest.
