The last Halo I played was Halo 3, so take that into consideration. Halo Infinite seems...meh? I got some of that cross gen vibes with some of the footage, but the game itself seems ok. I assumed 343 got a blank check and all of the time after Halo 5 to make this, but it that didn’t come across to me.
I guess to the dozen or so people in the comments complaining about Alex missing stuff, I took Javik on this mission and missed that stuff also. The mission is look around a facility for people. Once you progress the mission, all of those lore nodes are inaccessible. Also most of those prompts are off to the side and around the corner as opposed to waking straight. It’s not a great way to reveal that info, and y’all are complaining as if it’s the most obvious thing in the world.
FYI Vinny / Alex, I remember this being clearly defined but there is a point of no return that does involve Cerberus. I don’t think it is the next mission, but I believe it is coming up, in case you want to do those DLC missions.
I read Abby’s arc as this conflict is a lost cause, as opposed to some moral dichotomy.
Are you going to stay with the WLF? For what? To go to war over an island? To kill every stranger you see? That conflict is coming to ahead after Abby kills Joel and a lot of people are unsettled by it and when Abby feels obligated to help Lev and Yara.
I felt the answer isn’t there’s good to be had on both sides. It’s that Abby is finding redemption / something that’s actually worth fighting over. The WLF and the Seraphites both suck and people should get out of Dodge before it’s too late. The both sides doesn’t come from these two factions, but rather how Abby starts to find redemption when Ellie is hunting down all of her friends. Overall I still think the game is more focused on portraying Ellie’s internal conflicts rather than saying something like, “Boy, revenge is not good, huh?”
I should probably stop listening to the audio version of this. A lot of talk based on what people are wearing, what their hair is like, people holding up something in front of the camera with a lot of “Look what I found” “Oh wow, look at that” stories. It’s not really an issue with the Bombcast or Beastcast, but with this show so much stuff is lost in translation without the video.
I remember in ME2, Alex was shocked by hearing a news announcement regarding Shep Shep’s mom. With whatever option they picked in ME1, Shep Mom is a thing (although I don’t believe it is in the other backstories)
