I use the term Monkey’s Paw wish as it would be something that gives you what you want, along with a major downside.
as of right now I feel it is apt to call Halo Infinite this, as the gameplay is fantastic, truly fun, the campaign from what I’m hearing is set to be a blast and the OST done by the composers is grand.
But the Multiplayer, sweet Jesus the multiplayer systems for progression and customisation are everything that was feared and more.
I’ve mellowed out a bit since the… “shocking” revelations of yesterday, but I’m still very upset with how desperately they want to know the last 4 digits of my card.
The gameplay is fantastic, the campaign looks amazing, and I’m loving the product.
If the game were a scenic view though, it’s a beautiful mountain range obscured by mounds of customization trash and the poorly parked car of the progression system.
The gameplay is solid, but the systems in place around it just suck, it feels unrewarding & harsh that certain systems exist purely to monetize the game and others lack what people had requested for a long time such as a crossplay toggle for social games.
