This game looks great. I'm sensing a disturbance however, my Jedi tingle tells me to expect some surprise mechanics.

I'm totally getting this.

@alucard1001: Again, a controller with drift issues =/= a completely bricked console, and destroyed game discs.

I feel like the level of frustration with each situation was commensurate. My 5th 360 bricks and gouges my game discs = ready to hulk smash shit. My Joycon starts drifting and I have to use my pro controller instead = annoyed AF, but not ready to dropkick the Switch out of a 10 story window. That doesn't mean that Ninty gets a free pass on the Joycon issue, (and I returned the entire system to replace a Joycon that was sketchy), but your comparison doesn't hold up.

Pretty sure I wasn't making your point for you. The amount of outrage leveled against MS was 100% justified, not just a haters gonna hate type of deal.

Nolan is the best writer/director in the biz right now. No one else gets close.

@Barighm: I'm keeping the faith. 👍

@alucard1001: " if MS would have released a product that failed on delivery like the joycon can you imagine the outrage?"

I don't need to imagine, I had 5 360's RROD on me. The failure rate on that console was a total shitshow for MS, and plenty of people were outraged. Sketchy Joycons are a drag, but consoles that brick and munch on your game discs is much worse.

@RogerioFM: The article indicates that it is unknown if Ironside will be involved.

Goddammit! I saw the 3 NVG lights and my dong twitched. Thought for sure it was a new game. Ugh...

This seems like a bit of a botch job right now. Either the demo was old and wasn't indicative of the final version, or it was pretty much what we'll get at release.

If it was just an older build, then someone should get kicked in the nuts for not cleaning it up for the showcase. If it's what we'll see for release, then I'll have to assume that they'll patch it up moving forward.

I'm wondering if a delay might not be the best option. Of course people would get shitty about it, but how is that any different than how shitty people are being right now?

I would rather they focus on releasing the best product they can, even if it means a delay. Imagine how awesome it would be if they delayed it, and then release the knock your socks off game that we're all hoping for. That would be epic, and would make the haters STFU with quickness.

I'm really concerned that we're basically 4 months away from release, but they still can't show us the game running on an actual XseX. It really wouldn't be a good look for MS to release the biggest launch title if it's not fully baked, (yes, it's cross-gen, but that's even more of an opportunity to show what can be done with the shiny new tech as a direct comparison to previous gen consoles).

All that being said, I'm still stoked as f*ck for a new Halo game.

@xnshd: A shame. Not too long to wait though, so not a biggie.

@notafan: I could, but I choose to call it what it is instead. ;)
