Elden Clown Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 (edited) @The Good Doctor So did decide to give Pillars another shot through Czar's shared library and i'ma be honest idk what was wrong with me this combat system is just fine and honestly I kind of like it. I mean my game taste and how I play games have changed drastically since the last time I played it. But man now I regret not grabbing it while it was on sale. Edit: Also turns out I owned the game on Epic and completely forgot that I had got it free on there one day. Definitive edition too. Cherry on top my save from steam transferred over to Epic so I don't have to restart. Edited August 1, 2023 by Elden Clown 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to favor turn-based CRPGs over freeze time, so it took me some getting used to. But once I did, I really liked it too. It’s quite satisfying to pause the game, tactically set up all the character’s next actions, and then unpause and watch things play out as hoped. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCzarsHussar Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 You know what always slightly bothered me? In Halo, the Mk-V armor is this absolutely massive framed bulky UNIT. It was simplistic and heavy looking, there's a reason chief could handle far more punishment in that armor than the Mk-VI in terms of gameplay. But what bothers me is the canonical Mk-IV looks like an altered version of the prototype six. My question is why'd they go this route? Aside from animu cool factor. I'm a little rusty on my Halo lore, but I know a big factor in the V's bulkiness was due to the integration of the energy shields. Which was cutting edge reverse engineering, so I understand wanting to depict the IV as more mobile and slimmer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My question is why'd they go this route? Cynical answer? Marketing. The Mk-IV concept was invented after the MK-VI had already become their big mascot, so they wanted fans to see that design and associate it with Halo. Same reason Fallout 4’s T-60 is just a ripoff of the T-45d. There’s also some inconsistency in the designs anyway. If we want to bring 343 into the equation, the Mk-VI can be extremely bulky, depending on which game’s version of it we roll with. For all my dislike of Halo 4, I did like how big and heavy that game made the suit feel, even if it was a little overdesigned. My biggest design gripe is Chief losing his ammo pouch belt (can it still be called a bandolier if it’s not over the shoulder?) after Halo CE. I always liked that touch. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBossBalrog Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Do I have to post the concept art to show you how much Halo's aethestetic was inspired by Gundam again Bungie's game before Halo was Oni which was an anime game. They like the aethestetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCzarsHussar Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Unlike CE Anniversary graphics, which I don't at all like I do genuinely enjoy 2A's, but sometimes it doesn't translate the atmosphere of the original. Oh and falling into the gas giant was way more intense looking in the old one, even if it's less realistic looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCzarsHussar Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 A major one which I didn't catch was when the flood is decimating the heretics, and you can only make out the faintest of outlines under the foggy glass. In 2A, Forerunner Mr.Clean, which is canonical, wiped it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
