@Anhazrax I would skip it. S2 had a solid ending. Ghost War undoes most of it and adds nothing.

I do not like this one so well. All he does is yell, yell, yell. I will not have this one about. When he comes in I put him out.

Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan: Ghost War was ABSOLUTELY written by AI. If you don't pay attention it has all the components of a spy thriller, but the details and dialogue make ZERO sense. So bizarre.

@Lunnzies @ZeroGuarantee @Poxxxx You are both wrong. Environment geometry could not animate in H1. What you see in the cutscene is a self-illuminated disk slowly animating in to block the env geo at the top of the shaft. 😅

FUN FACT: The Brute Prowler was one of the first assets we moved into the Destiny prototype environment. It was a -very- early version of the space combat I was working on. It drove around on a "ground" plane made of starry skybox material, so it kinda looked like a spaceship.

Might be my favorite Halo vehicle to tune. It was like the Warthog but all the tires could slide.

Its sad the Brute Warthog just literally vanished off the face of the earth, just like the Elite Warthog

@ianbremmer @RamInNews Chances before that, given that MBS is a psychopath who murders dissidents with bone saws: also zero

chances of saudi arabia joining abraham accords given present israel policy in gaza (called a genocide by mbs) & west bank: pretty much zero

@MorbidMura Brutes are canonically afraid of heights. They never developed airborne vehicles.
English
@logorn_gadum Not sure. I wasn't involved in ODST's mission design that much. It does look a little silly piloted by a Marine-sized character.
English
@32nds How come it didn't return in H3ODST? There were some larger levels it would have fit in but it wasn't there.

@ThreeSixXero @EmperorKermit @evolved117 It was just a three-part combo where the last one did more damage and a physics impulse. No branching or anything.
English
@32nds @EmperorKermit @evolved117 Were the melee combos (in theory) similar to how ONI approached them, or a little simpler?
English
@evolved117 IIRC, it's more like Jaime begrudgingly added it to demonstrate that it wasn't what he wanted in the sandbox and never intended to actually have it in the game.
The fact that it never made it to a release he worked on is because he had a clear intentionality behind what he did.
English
Melee combos... now THAT is a mechanic I had not thought about in a long time. A long time.
They were actually pretty sweet. You could use them to push enemies off cliffs or expose weakspots.
This article is how I learned not to talk to the press about ideas and prototypes three years before a game comes out. (And a year before a complete engine reboot.)
English
As far as I'm aware, I'm only parroting what Jaime has said regarding the mechanic.
It would be troublesome to find the specific Twitter post where I believe I read that since he talks about his work on Halo pretty often, but (not that he owes me, or anyone for that matter, anything) maybe @32nds could talk about that magazine snippet since it's obvious that most of those features did not make it into Halo 2 and I'd be grateful to know more about some of the features (and the deicions around them) that didn't make the cut.
English
I played it.
As a hardcore WoW player and obviously with a Halo background, It was a surreal experience. You ever wondered what the Halo equivalent of a mana potion is? Or how a young Elite warrior trains by killing 10 space rats? Maybe wanted to visit the badlands where the Flood stand in small groups exactly 30 yards apart?
Yeah, me neither... but they had done a really phenomenal job recreating WoW right down to the sticky character movement and quirky AI perception bugs. It was very impressive.

@SandyofCthulhu @32nds One of my game dev instructors told me that the hardest thing of the industry was… heart break. Crafting things with all your energy just *poof* gone with an email. Man I would have adored a game like this

What was “Titan”? Ensemble Studios last planned project?
Many of us loved World of Warcraft. (In our defense, this was back in 2007-8, when it was still fun.) We decided to do our own MMO based on our years of experience in MMOs, and our chops in game creation.
We decided to use MicroSoft’s favorite license - Halo.

@politicalmath @redsteeze If they had any real artistic backbone Butcher would have let him do it. Call all the way back to S1 with Starlight and the Deep.
English
The funny thing is that art and interpretation is fluid
The writers of The Boys said "oh no, the wrong people like Homelander! We must humiliate him"
But when they do this, the "wrong people" laugh at them b/c they just exposed that they think gay acts are peak humiliation
Pol Atreides@Aliathewhite
“Oh no, conservatives like our villain!” So they made him suck dick and beg for feces. Peak satire.
English
Yes. Homelander caused a sonic boom crossing the room in S1.
It’s a symptom of how much of a fizzle the big “scorched earth” fight was. They told the whole cast of Gen V to take a walk because three chumps in a trench coat could have Homelander on the ropes before he even lost his powers. After almost dying to some guys with machine guns hiding in the ceiling.
English
@32nds @therealKripke Were you expecting a sonic boom or some shit? Lol
Windows breaking is a weird hill to die on.

#TheBoys series finale was perfect. The hate that it is getting is literally only from people that don't understand character development, story progression, or anything in that vein. They wanted explosions and blood and nothing else.
@therealKripke and crew killed it.
sonya 🐝 🇺🇦@soufflewaffle
the way homelander’s entire body language changed after losing powers was so good, that’s literally a kid. antony starr you are fantastic

@neontaster Obviously you never read the Book. It’s all explained in the epilogue.
It’s lame that they spoiled it in the previews though. There’s a lot of lead up and some funny jokes I n the original that only works if you don’t know he returns.
English
He was so clearly dead at the end of the last one. It's such bullshit when Hollywood just brings the protagonist back for the sequel just because he's popular with the audience.

First look at ‘THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST’ sequel. In theaters on May 6, 2027.

@32nds Actually in the comic The boys has temp-V from the start of the story and MM and The female(Kimiko) had powers
English
The Boys has totally lost the plot.
The original premise was "nobody should have super powers, it makes them narcissistic and that leads to evil acts." Now most of the "good" guys are supes, all the OG supes are making selfless sacrifices for love, and even when the "bad" guys do something horrible, most of their victims are other bad guys. They cannot possibly pay off the first season now.

@ErikAndThoughts "Media literacy" is when I can tell that the billionaire in the black hat talking about space and birth rates is -really- Elon Musk drrrrrrrrr....
English
@32nds It wasn't perfect but some of the responses have been comical in the lack of media literacy. Not sure about the "assassination fantasy", but did find your anti trans rants on your timeline predictable. Would you say you relate more with Firecracker or The Deep?
English
The finale was... mercifully short and conclusive. Apparently the key to defeating Homelander was to reduce the budget of the show to the point where none of his powers worked and trap him in an Oval Office set with no exterior.
The only decent character arc was Ryan, who learned to conceal his powers from normies that would otherwise try to use him.
