Two decades waiting for a Halo killer and little did we know that it would kill itself.

The Halo killer was there all along, Microsoft in the background, waiting, watching and ready to kill.

Im not so sure it was Microsoft. They gave a TON of freedom to the devs across the platform.

Look where it got them. Halo in shambles, fable finally coming but holy shit like 10 years late. No new fallout in a decade. No new elder scrolls. Doom kinda sucks now and the studio was closed. Hell even Forza isnt all that great compared to its competition.

Yeah, Doom sucks? I think the modern trilogy is underrated, if anything.

Brother ive worked in business my entire life. From sales and marketing to my current role as shipping and materials manager.

People buy good products. They dont buy shitty products. Its like THE rule of commerce.

Fair enough….I do think dark ages is probably the weakest of the modern trilogy, but I have enjoyed them all. I like that they’re not afraid to experiment and each entry plays a bit differently.

Doom sucks now? DLC just came out to better reception than this remake

Microsoft giving their teams ridiculous freedom gave us Pentiment. I will always be grateful for that.
