@justin258: Halo 1 & 2 never had native 360 versions thought, they were running off back-compatibility.
@ntm: But if i ain't mistaken, all the Halo games play different in MCC, they play like they used to be played, the only thing they changed was the graphics.
@mattimus_prime: Plenty of people love playing Halo 1 & 2 on PC, that includes myself, Halo 3 is the last in the trilogy that hasn't been ported yet. Also there are people that still care about Halo but not the "new" Halo, nothing unusual, splits like thishappens all the time in gaming, whether video games or traditional games, people will always find a preferred version and stick to it.
@xanadu:Unless Halo 3 anniversary would be DLC for MCC or standalone.
@mikachops:If anything the newer designs make it easier to use the web and yeah the fact that we have a much more reliable web than ages ago is helping but i dunno if that's what's holding us back.
@arbitrarywater: The friends i've gotten over the internet; we used over gamertag/steamtag when we refer to reach other, it's just more natural to us.
@lanechanger: I don't think i've ever cared about friendlists in RTS games, maybe it's because you're so distant from the person you're playing against? In FPS games, you have a personification of your combatant but not in RTS games. Moba's seemed to have solved that issue by being player focused.
@mmmslash: Discord for me has just been another platform, not too different. Altho alot of smaller communities for decade old games are alot better on discord than they were in the past, in the sense that it's alot easier to get a hold of people these days. Funny thing is, those communities with the least members are also those that are the most welcoming, goes back to what another duder said, you'll meet these people everyday, it's beneficial to get along. I'd say most of my discord time has been a failure to get any new friends.
@gunflame88: I feel like that was true for me 3years ago but when i go on those servers now, it's mostly filled with griefers and shittalkers.
@ivdamke: I don't understand any of those acronyms... Maybe it's also because alot of franchises have more sequels and alot sooner than previous, now we're getting a COD game every year, a new halo every second year or so. I'm not saying that all companies need to be like Valve and only make a new game every half decade but what do you do if the next halo doesn't appeal to you and what if you just fell off the whole console gaming thing?
@tuxedocruise:I can personally say that i've been the direct opposite of what you're describing.
@mjbrune: Are you a wife and a dog? or a wifedog? They had a similar system in xbox 360, where you would give eachother reviews, a 5 star system, if you gave a low score you would be less likely to enter the same game with that person again.
@rorie But even with the internet, people still ask question that google could answer in a second, still post and make youtube videos about things that can easily be answered in seconds, that used to be a big icebreaker, just asking a question but why ask when you can get the right answer immediately? yet people still do. I'm thinking, how much information is viable for you to receive? You're talking about a future, where "always online" is what comes with your new born child's manual. But do imagine a future where you don't have to work is a part of your daily life. Why do you need to work when a robotman can do everything you can do without needing to sleep, eat, or take breaks? Atleast by then, we could have friends and partners in the form of machines, a family of synthetic humans and organic humans. But would that change anything beneath the surface?
