You have just comforted Dax from her worst fear.

I am waiting to watch Nightfall in one sitting and reading these reviews is a bit disappointing. I thoroughly enjoy Mike Colter's character on The Good Wife, and thought his voodoo devil part on American Horror Storiy was wonderfully intense. I believed he was perfect for the lead role in Nightfall.

Maybe they will get it right in episode 5.
I'm pretty sure that wasn't him playing the voodoo devil.

All liquored up.
Friday night.
"Xbox Live Core ServicesLimited"

Fuck this. It's one thing to have a game be broken. It's another to have all of fucking Xbox Live down as well.
 
Not sure, but boy was it awkward to see Marty O'Donnell accept the award for Best Score for Destiny, after being fired.

It was more awkward to see them use the main stage to give an award to Total Biscuit, a guy who has contributed nothing to the art form and didn't even show up, but then give Marty his award coming out of commercial break somewhere between the bathroom and row 107.

The music is pretty great (I know because I'm sitting at the Destiny menu screen because I can't login to my profile - because Xbox Live is down - hooray for always connected bullshit games).
 
Where is Dax? Haven't heard from her in a while.

I think she's spending her time in the Destiny OT. Haven't seen her post since I dropped my sub there.

Are we expecting anything from this Video Games Award thing? Like has 343i mentioned anything?

Kampf teased something prior to being banned*, but nothing official.

*Do we know why, btw? Is it the teasing thing? I didn't mind it, but it was getting a little bit much towards the end there.
 
343 would never gimp their asinine bullshit like that.

He isnt the only one that should minimize the posts. ;)


Do they stop forward momentum? or if you get hit in the back does it increase the forward momentum because its adding its momentum to your forward momentum?


also, While people are growing tired of sprint Discussions; and 343 essentially telling anti-sprint fans to shut the fuck up because its still in. the fact that we are STILL having to defend our positions against sprint in the game is fucking ridiculous.

Always Online is evil and I hope it dies in a fire. There are very few games that justify its use and Destiny isn't one of them.
 
Zenith/ascension is such a horrible map to start with and then you throw in the lolwut banshee on top of everything else. Ewww

It's not terribly hard to take down, I've killed it with every power weapon on the map, snipe, shotty, and rockets. And most idiots let you jack it anyways. But my experience is mostly from FFA so the banshee isn't always focused on me.

Honestly I like the revision with Zenith, that shield in the middle really does help moving around the map. And so many people will just run in while you sit on the other side with shotty.

I'm playing it now...

Ditto, I'm not having much trouble tonight.

So just what the hell was Kamp on about that we'll get something good this week?
Technically we still have Saturday and Sunday depending on your idea of when the week ends. Either that or Kamp really overestimated how much we'd get out of this.

Man, if only that Halo 5 gif and info leaked before I bought my Xbox One. With Street fighter 5 being exclusive, these changes to Halo, the bungling of MCC and games like Bloodborne for PS4, I'd have definitely gone Playstation 4.
 
I'm legit shook by how quiet 343 managed to keep TMCCs issues. Not even a leaker called this shit.

Could it be that that's because they really didn't know? Like... they've been saying? I'll freely admit that I don't know how it'd be possible, but I don't think we should discount the possibility out of hand.

I'll buy that they didn't expect issues on this scale but I don't believe for a second that none of this showed up in playtests. The game is fundamentally broken; we saw it in all the pre-release tourneys, etc.

Put it on EBay, or B/S/T, not like it'd be that much of a loss if you're that bothered.

But that's the thing; AFAIK, we didn't see issues of the sort we're seeing now. Dropped connections and some other general sketchiness, but nothing like what we got on launch day. Maybe there really was some sort of fundamental flaw with their testing process.

Saw what? A few disconnects? (granted it was over LAN which is laughable)

Ranked 3v4, awesome. Love it.

The funny thing is, even when I get unbalanced teams I still usually end up with a nail-bitingly close score in the end. Seriously, some of the most intense TS matches I've played have been when I'm down 1 or 2 players. Objective is another story.
Not that I'm excusing uneven teams in the lobby, it should definitely be fixed. Hopefully early next week, we'll see.
