I totally know what you meant, but that's not how math works :p

Yeah, I'm missing some words there, my bad.

At least I'm not as bad as a client who I had to spend 10 minutes explaining how a circle with the same width/radius as a square cannot be larger than the square :)

Nintendo doesn't need help from us on the mud-dragging :) My issue is not with the quality of their games or their presentation, but that comparing a WiiU title to a PS4/XB1/modern PC title is apples and oranges.

"99 or 100% stable frame rate simply doesn't happen with console games."

"Nintendo games are 100% stable 60fps"

"But those don't count! It's not the same games!
It's not the same content!

Your definition of "delivered" seems far outside the mean of actual real-world performance. Even longtime 60fps series like CoD regularly nosedive into the 40fps range when lots of action is happening on-screen. 99 or 100% stable frame rate simply doesn't happen with console games. With the series going to 60fps, even the same amount of frame rate drops from previous Halos will be less noticeable, since 10 or 20% of 60 is less than 10-20% of 30.

Hmm? What Wii U game is comparable graphically to AAA games on the PS4 and XB1? Not to mention despite running at 720p Mario Kart's splitscreen mode essentially runs at 30fps
Click to expand...
A. MCC is a collection of older titles, not a AAA Xbone game
B. All you said is that a stable 60 doesn't happen on console, you never specified any consoles
C. No shit Wii U games don't look graphically comparable to PS4 and Xbone games, the system is weaker, that doesn't make the stable 60fps games on the platform any less impressive, especially considering the fact that they don't run at sub HD resolutions and look great.

Say what you will about their hardware, but damn if Nintendo doesn't know how to make a game look gorgeous and work around limitations. I'd argue that there are Gamecube games that look better than some of these next gen titles because of Nintendo's mastery of aesthetic design.

Since the Wii U has given them HD though? Holy shit does that Nintendo polish shine.

Being so close to the launch of MCC I thought I would share my friend's Warthog montage from Halo 3. It's very exciting and all clips are from matchmaking (no prestaged stuff). I've shared this here before but I want to get everyone pumped up for some Halo!

This guy is the best Warthog driver I have ever known and a good friend of mine. Enjoy!

That's one amazing vehicle montage!
:-D

It was a bomb carrier and it was me. I can't tell you how loud both of us gasped and then laughed as we drove under that Wraith.

This is pretty cool.

Better take the laser off Standoff so this can be every second of every game on that map. Super fun for everyone!*

Halo 3 warthog is the best of all Halos.

CoD AW preloading woes have me worried for the MCC, especially with how last minute the patch is going to be.

A fuckup at launch would suck massively.

Apparently the thing about the Arbiter's camo being replaced by a flashlight is true.... why was this changed?

What happened to staying true to the gameplay as much as possible?

Yes, and the OG skull did not give the Arbiter a flashlight. This negatively affects speedruns as was recently discussed on Monopoli's stream.

It does, no one said it didn't. When I quoted you it appeared that you thought that they changed the inherent traits of both characters and I corrected you on it...

Warthog drivers who go for splatters are about as bad as the vehicle balance on Standoff.

Which is bad, because picking up the Envy skull is important for H2 speedruns, but taking away the Arbiter's camo could significantly alter the speedrun route.

Unless the original skull is also in the game with its original functionality intact, in which case crisis averted, everything is fine.

I assume the original skull is in the original version of the game, however the Anniversary will have the new skull.

Does anyone know how multiplayer performs in split screen, thats what I want to know. I spend a lot of time playing split screen and still have nightmares from Halo 4.

So according to MisterMonopol's stream (He's just starting an H3 run btw), the current theory is that sword flying is gone because H2A is based on the Vista port which had some bugs fixed?

I don't think this is confirmed yet but it'd be pretty shitty if it's true. 343 has been talking a lot about how they've intentionally kept all the original bugs intact, so it'd be pretty lame if they turned around and fixed a bunch of them without letting anybody know...
