  1. Im a little confused on the process here. So is the divested assets what Take-Two is getting and the retained assets what Embracer is keeping?
  2. I mean Pedro Pascal emotes just fine with a Helmet on. Master Chief in Halo Infinite emotes just fine with a Helmet on. And there are ways you can convey emotion with cinematography like lighting, camera angles, camera moves. Then there’s the music too. Is it unorthodox to have a character who’s face you cannot see for an entire season? Sure. But they chose the franchise and character. to quote gamers: “skill issue”.
  3. One characterization it sounded like the show changed that I am not too fond of is where they have chief out of armor so much again and now trying to come to terms with what happened to him as a child and whether he even wants to be MC. As if he’s Bruce Wayne looking at the Batman cowl wondering if he still wants to be Batman. long rant Dr Halsey is a more suitable character to be the lead because she was closely involved with all aspects of the Spartan II program and kept up with their deployments. Regarded by most if not all Spartan IIs as the closest thing they had to a mother. She had political enemies within the UNSC upper leadership who wanted their own super soldier program to be adopted and wanted to shut her down. She’s the character that can ask and asks of the audience to answer the questions; is it right to sacrifice your humanity to save human civilization? Can your prior sins be absolved by future needs for what you’ve done?
  4. Ive always wanted a Band of Brothers style and inspired Halo show that shows the events from the Fall of Reach into Halo CE and Halo First Strike. Ive known for a long time that would never happen. I will admit part of my issue is also that I do not like where 343 took the Halo lore and this show seemingly wanted to jump right into incorporating that lore. Halo under 343 has always felt like bad fanfiction, because they so badly want to differentiate their Halo from Bungie’s Halo.
  5. Everything Ive read and heard about the story and portrayals this season has made it clear to me I wouldn’t like this season. The show still doesn’t know what MC is nor care about the source material. They still want to do their own thing and this show is Halo in name only, because these talentless people (lead actor included) know that nobody would watch this shit if it was a new original IP made for Tv. The commercials to sell Halo games in the were more faithful and better crafted than this self servicing imitation.
  6. Such a dumb, misleading video. Movies are typically filmed at 24fps, but nobody would argue we should go back to N64 frame rates. Also you're not controlling it, nor does have poor frame pacing that resembles hitching and stutters. If a movie was stuttering unintentionally people would complain. Also if a game isnt a steady 30fps, which DD2 isnt even relatively small dips in frame. Dropping 6fps from 30 feels much more noticeable than dropping 6fps from 90, because at 30fps that’s a sudden loss of 20%. But in general 30 fps just isnt as smooth. I haven’t played with it, but I also wonder if consoles and lower end PCs being stuck with Interlaced rendering just to get to 30fps. That’s some real 6th gen console stuff right there when some had to settle for 1080i as the highest console resolution with 720p better for fast motion. Kind of seems like cheating when they are also using checkerboarding.
  7. ok yeah, they won’t record dialog for a bug. Unless the dialog was meant more as flavor and world building and then a bug came along that like catching Missing No. would fuck up your game like a rampant AI.
  8. I figured we could because on the town map houses that belonged to people have a banner icon in them while sometimes one won’t. So I assumed that meant I’d be able to buy a house.
  9. temps and cooling wise my PC is no different than any other game. I was seeing signs of being CPU limited though with my GPU showing fluctuating usage between 90-99% without DLSS being on. I don’t think it is getting worked as hard as other games work it. My series X can get louder than my PC, although it doesn’t sustain that level. My PC just sounds like a quiet fan. Less the mechanic hum and more the fast blowing of air into the glass case and maybe escaping through corners and vents. I rarely notice it except for before some game’s audio starts and after closing a game.
  10. lol for a second there I was like “why is the podium music different?” Right a Spaniard won.
  11. Oh I know. If it was going to happen I wish it happened a few laps later so we might actually get some racing between Sainz and Verstappen. I like how Ferrari radios to “hold position” as Sainz just pulls away from Leclere. lol Way to save face for Leclere. I really hope Sainz gets a ride in a top 5 team. I like seeing Perez make the charge up the field. edit: Perez now just looks like he gave up. edit2: Way to go Carlos! Double points for HAAS, points for Tsunoda while Danny continues to underwhelm. Both Mercs out, and Perez was just … there? A very interesting race, though it didn’t feel like there was much in the way of close racing compared to even races last year. weird that the 2 races Carlos has won Russel also puts it into the wall at the end getting too eager to make a pass.
  12. my main pawn is a fighter, but that’s because Im a squishy mage. I buy him new armor and weapons before I buy anything for even my own character. The recommendation I think is usually to have your main pawn opposite of your own vocation. So grab a healer if youre and up close fighter. Get a fighter to tank if youre a ranged character.
