I review the single player elements of Halo: Reach, looking at the campaign, Firefight, along with the other single player modes.
"Please note that before you go any further, if you have not yet completed Halo: Reach, you may not want to read through the whole review in case I spoil something for you. If you’re not bothered then read on; I hope I haven’t deterred some of you away!"
Bungie - "Join our development team to see the new updates arriving with Destiny 2: The Final Shape. Releasing on June 4, 2024."
How do composers make the iconic music tracks from games that we love? And just what makes them so memorable?
Amid ongoing anxiety within Bungie following layoffs last year, the studio is now preparing for another shakeup, this time on Marathon.
Talk about mismanaged Bungie is a studio of tremendous potential and have made some of the greatest shooters to date. Sony pushed them to just make another Destiny style game and consult on other studios live service games and are now getting thrown under a bus as the pivot away from predominantly gaas games is unfolding.
I'd love to see a world where Bungie can focus on telling great sci fi stories again away from a live service dungeon but we all know that's a pipe dream
Are you serious? Do you just talk out of your arse naturally, or did it take years of being a POS?
You normally get so offended by internet comments or did it take years of being soft
Yes I see your point mate, someone clearly didn’t read the article.
Specifically the bit:
“Notably, multiple sources at the time and since have shared that Sony has largely left the studio to sort out its own troubles and was not responsible for the layoffs, with CEO Pete Parsons taking responsibility.“
He’s just spouting nonsense
lol what so fucking hilarious is that you called him out so bad he projected him being offended onto you.
Its been well documented that Bungie's management has been more responsible for their shortfalls, even mentioned in said article that we are commenting on.
Its ok, just admit you didn't read the article.
I like how for some, it is never Bungie's fault. Microsoft, Activision, and now Sony - it is everyone else who is pushing Bungie to make all these bad decisions.
Thrown under the bus?
Are you joking? This is all Bungie, we all thought it was 100% Activision but it's clear the higher ups at Bungie don't have a clue how to run the studio and are more bothered about saving their own skin and the money that they rake in.
Sony gave them an extra $1.2 Billion to make sure that employees didn't leave and they didn't have to cut anyones jobs. Where did that money go because Bungie still cut peoples jobs and I bet you the higher management still kept a hold of their big fact paychecks and bonuses.
Sony invested poorly in this and the best thing they can do now is throw the old Bungie management out and take hold of the studio fully.
Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water. Somebody at Bungie is the golden goose making great shooting mechanics, and the rest need to justify their paychecks.
This studio has had three owners and its never worked well with any of them....Management has issues
Worked very well for Microsoft. Microsoft’s mistake was letting Bungie go.
it worked so well with MS that they so wanted to be away from them they bought the company back. Only to do it again with activision-blizzard, and then sold to Sony...Sony shouldn't have bought them...Bungie hasnt been the same for a long time..
Lol...really? Cos I would like to know how it lost those crucial 0.03 marks...lol. Why not just rate games out of 100 if you're gonna have to go to the 2nd decimal to give precise reviews?
Fanboy. It's obviously not any better than an 8.66/10.
yeah its a 9, fantastic campaign beter than K2 and R2
Why don't people just rate games as "Buy", "Rent" and "Pass". That's all a real gamer is interested in. Not 0.00267 differences.
I finished it last night and am considering returning it.
It was good while it lasted but I dont know if I want to replay it.
To be honest I found the enemies kind of annoying, having to empty a clip into an elites head to get a kill. (played on heroic) I can only imagine legendary more frustrating.
Its a cheap way of uping the difficulty I think, I like a game where a headshot is a kill. Even the shielded grunts take 3 or 4 burst of fire to die. If you want to up the difficulty, add more enemies or make their tactics better, dont make their shields harder or your weapons weaker, thats a cop out.
Still the best Halo since the first one thou, but needs more levels like Halo and The Silent Cartographer.
