Gamentrain: I apologize for the delay in getting this column out, my internet was having issues and insert better excuse here. I have been aptly reamed and now while I cower and write up another article, here are the picks for the week.
How do composers make the iconic music tracks from games that we love? And just what makes them so memorable?
A former 343 developer has revealed that mountains of Halo pitches failed to be approved, including a return to ODSTs and a push for more intimate, dark themes.
Not really. 4, 5, MCC, and Infinite are only remembered for their shortcomings and failures when the franchise was purely known for being a system seller and an all-time great. There's a reason 1, 2, 3, and Reach are looked back on fondly, and it's not because of nostalgia.
I don't know of anyone that speaks fondly of the later Halo games, I would like to play 5, but I know it's not good, and I'm just waiting on Infinite to hit my strike price. I played MCC a lot later after it came out, so must of those bugs/issues were gone by the time I played it.
To say it dropped the massively is just not true. Many in the community hold H5 as the best mp mechanics in the entire series and say its what 4 should've been. Its campaign was trash but the MP is Fantastic and many faces of the community still play today and it only made 500mill in the matter of months but sure it dropped the ball massively. 4 was hated due to all the changes at once. And CoD like feature and rightful get hate but it's campaign story was liked by a majority of ppl. 343 hasn't nailed ot 100% but they get 1 thing perfect but F up in other places. Infinite had a good campaign and design but the story was a mess. The MP improves upon what Halo 3 was and is what many ppl wanted to go back to but it lacked content severely. So massively aint the word. Dropping the ball massively is when it's pure trash and unplay/unenjoyable. Most ppl blind by nostalgia so soon as 1 thing aint the same its hated cause Halo set the bar so high
FYI reach was not that good.
Halo-Pop like Gears Pop. Halo bowling. Halo Cooking Mama. There’s a reason why you won’t hear about them
Now that Death Stranding has landed on iOS, here are five other PS4-era blockbusters that we'd love to have to play on our iPhones at any time.
Thats a game everybody should play. So happy that came to PS3.
Oblivion was awesome too, as was GOW. Haven't played Halo as I lack an Xbox but I'm sure millions of fans cant be wrong...
Metal Gear 1, 3 and 4
And GTA vice city, San Andreas should be there to
Guardian Heroes
Crash Team Racing
Super Castlevania IV
Take out elder scrolls:oblivion. There are sooo many games better than that trash(no offence to the devs). If they are going to do a bethesda game do fallout 3.
