And she even has a friggin dragon for crying out loud!!!

I mean, with all of the news surrounding Kim Wu and Arbitor, season 3 may just be the best season so far XD

This is for everyone who doesn’t know who the Arbiter is.

Where can I watch some of the rash and Kim wu gameplay? Also no tusk reveal? And arbiter is badass but I am kinda sad Joanna dark didn’t make it in. She would for well into the story and design.

64

I feel bad for me too.

She flew the Rare flag, could have easily fit in the story, introduced a completely new play style with gun kata, but no. They had to find the easy guest character that would be the least effort to design for the most cash in their pockets.

I wonder how they write the Arbiter into the story, you know, because “time travel is dumb” to paraphrase Ken Lobb.

I believe Guests aren’t canon to the story and just come through portals and for design the Arbiter is way more unique and interesting than Joanna dark.

I’m pretty sure Arbiter would take more effort to design than Joanna. Also they said the guests aren’t part of the story.

Yeah, Joana Dark had so little substance as a character it wasn’t even funny. I like her, but the arbiter is FAR more fleshed out as a character.

True, more unique, I just feel like someone from such a big brand would belittle KI into being remembered as that game that had the arbiter in it, rather than the game that stood on its own two feet and brought in other Rare names to the fore.

We were all aware of that. That didn’t justify the K-pop.

At any rate I like the oreitnal rock flavor of her theme it really works well with the stage and game.

Arbiter will attract the new comers. The rest of the cast has potential staying power I beleive.

So long as we don’t get anymore guests we should be good

They’d have to start from scratch with Joanna, where the Arbiter is already designed and sitting in MS/343 studio file, ready for CTL C, CTL V.

Not much effort really.

71

Special announcement tomorrow, say what?

I’m pretty sure I used other examples as well. Should see those too since Spawn wasn’t my only choice.

Precisely why I put air quotes around “final”. But, from what I recall, we were only expecting two guest characters

By the sounds of it, I would as well. Still, I must refrain from suppressing him anymore until I see gameplay and design.

For some. Not everyone, by the looks of it though. It seems like I am the 1% here.

MKX would have been more ideal, KI would’ve been nice. Still I feel like there were more options.

Isn’t joana dark orchid but with guns?

They’d have to start from scratch with both KI runs on a different engine than Halo 5

74

Have a little faith, try and be optimistic. Think about all the people that the Arbiter will bring in as opposed to Joanna Dark. Think about it, when was the last Perfect Dark game? Halo 5 is BIG news right now while Perfect Dark is slightly less relevant.

SLIGHTY? A lot less relevant, I love Perfect Dark, but Ms Dark would have been disappointing.

76

I was trying to be gentle with the subject
 xD

77

I don’t sugarcoat. I get your point tho. Arbiter has far more potential as far as I am concerned

78

Is KI really struggling that much for its income? Or are they simply just not satisfied with what they make and are pushed to earn so much more?

I thought the community was really tight. Look at the community fund. We hit the target in 2 days.

Are we really going to be that kind of community once the wider world is invited to join?

I’m not knocking the idea for attracting more people in, but we’re on the road to hitting a high. If we peak too early, it’ll all be over too quick.

Melodramatic, I know but that’s what I see happening.

79

There are also graphical improvements on xbox?

I still believe Joana is coming in S3 and will be awesome!
