^ This dude has ZERO reasons to be excited about Halo or Gears [he trolls both threads] and yet he makes it his business to come into each thread and shit on people having fun or just hype from anticipation. Amazing fellow. No one is asking you to lose your mind, in fact, no one even asks you to post every time people are hyped about something. Yet you are still here.
If you feel MS is shitting on you, why are you still supporting them? Buy a PS4 and don't look back.
I stand by what I write, and my contributions to threads are much more meaningful than most. I fail to see how posts that are essentially shouting "BUY BUY BUY" like they're a trader on the floor of wall street are contributing anything meaningful to the discussion. In fact, I'd argue that the opposite is true. We talk a lot about how certain AAA publishers seem to be making consumer unfriendly decisions through DLC, downgrading, and promising features that don't make it into the final games. If we ever want to change the way the industry is selling these products we need to stop blindly hyping these products.
There is nothing to "support." I own multiple platforms. I care a lot about the Halo franchise and the Gears franchise which is why I post in these threads. I'm concerned about the direction of both franchises, and I think that Microsoft is potentially mismanaging both.
If Microsoft is simply releasing this game similar to products offered on Nintendo's Virtual Console (not $60), I will ultimately have no problem with this and would probably purchase. That being said, I don't see any particular reason to start the hype machine over footage that looks no different than the original game looked 9 years ago.
