I fricking love the weapons with eyes, haha. And mouths.
I really wanted to play CP but that price and extremely poor PC performance (Iâm still rocking a cute gtx 1060 :c) indicates a heavily discount buy.
Didnt expect Marvel MM to outperform Callisto though O.o

Started with Immortality (also to hopefully get an achievement for the rewards) but itâs especially about time Iâd checked this out.
SoâŚ
I can select all those movies right from the start, but I think I should go for the left most, right?
It doesnât matter which one you choose, you lose all the clips as soon as you start viewing and have to rebuild it all again

Yeah I gotta say that right now I donât know wtf Iâm doing, lol.
I choose a clip, I can press Y and click on things that stand out and then I go into another clip. And in that clip I can do the same and so on.
But surely it will start making sense soon enough. I initially thought this would be like The last Shift and other similar games. But this has more.
Jeez, I can keep pausing the video and selecting stuff, it doesnât seem to end. But I am starting to wonder whatâs the start of the whole thing.
just on time when the deal is done

When I go to the XboxEra homepage on my phone in Chrome I get the popup bar about how XboxEra would like to ping me news and stuff. But no matter if I click on Nah Iâm good or Oh, go on then. It doesnât work, nothing happens. It also blocks the privacy notice thing, I canât view the site. And this is also in the âappâ.
It does work on Edge though.
Canât wait to dive into the world of Diablo again.

Donât know if I should be worried or not about all these departures at 343. On one hand it is normal for long time staff want to move on and try new things, but also could be they just donât want to work there anymore due to many reasons.
Then you could say the game has been mismanaged so the old crew moving on could be a good thing, or it also could be a bad thing and theyâre âabandoning the shipâ so these sorts of things are so hard to judge.
I wonder if 343 are going for a new fresh mindset approach with new staff, if there are many old devs there it could be a good idea to ship in some fresh blood for lack of a better word haha, it could be a good time to do a reset of the studio.
Canât wait for the headlines that 343 is doomed as well hah

Well people have been complaining for ages about wanting 343 gutted and replaced with new people so they are getting their wish
I imagine a lot of these people are perpetual whiners though and will go from âfire 343â to âeveryone is leaving, Halo is doomedâ

Problem is that 343 has 0 open positions since several months. Some months ago on Linkedin I remember that the headcount was like 545 people and now itâs down to 521.
They should expand a lot considering the fiasco of Infiniteâs Live-Service (exactly like Bungie did and they still have over 160 open positions as of now) but nothing seems to indicate that. Itâs annoying. Itâs not like Microsoft is a poor company that couldnât afford some new locations/devs for 343 or whatever.

Yeah it is going to be interesting how people say sack 343, then people leave and then go on to say what the hell is going on at 343⌠lol
Yeah they should hire more staff but we donât know if these roles are being filled in by existing staff right now. I think what is most likely happening is they are trying to stabilize the studio. I think they will start to hire in main roles if they are empty once all the dust settles.
The good thing right now is the game is launched so their main focus is on content delivery and live service roadmaps. I donât think itâs a smart idea to start mass hiring right now when the studio is probably in a knocked back state. They will obviously hire more people at some point but like I said I think they just want to take a step back right now and let everything settle.

There is still a (partial?) hiring freeze, at least for the US-based studios.
The headcount is lower, but most likely the roles are being filled by existing staff. Also, there were some new hires too, but they do not have a big social media presence. Thatâs why it feels like 343i only has devs leaving which is not quite true. On twitter, an account by the name of Bathrobe Spartan had a nice thread on this.
