  It definitely is clunky, but I feel like if you look at designs fairly closely you can see some evolutionary jumps. Maybe not with some helmets like Hazop, but you can with others like Rogue and Recon.

  Imo I kinda liked 4’s version of sprint. It was there, everyone had it, but it was limited and had a sort of cool down similar to other armor abilities. I do also like the gameplay of 5, with the other added Spartan abilities like slam and clamber; imo it made me feel like a lethal killing machine moving around the battlefield.

  You kinda need to play it with bandanna to enjoy it. But even then, anytime you die after you’ve gotten some nice weapons from enemies, you have about 10 seconds to run over and pick them up before they’re gone.

  I don’t mind the loadout system for Spartan Ops, but I can see why they’d be a pain in the ass to deal with in multiplayer.

  I recently replayed 4. Although I kinda like the gameplay, I found the story to actually be pretty boring. I like the Didact as a concept, but he’s incredibly underused imo. The Prometheans are just incredibly annoying to fight, and Spartan Ops gets very tedious because of them.

  I like some things like the added sprint (fight me, if any game should have sprint it should be Halo, at least in campaign) but another thing is that the story feels so incredibly short. Like it ends right as it’s about to get good.

  I will say the Spartan armor and elite designs have grown on me since it first came out. It does make me want to replay Halo 5, and I am disappointed that it’s not going to be brought to PC pretty much ever.

  Sure, sometimes it kinda makes sense from a mechanic or gameplay perspective. I’m talking about games that require you to hold buttons to interact for everything whether it makes sense or not.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pet Peeves with Games?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Any game that makes me hold a button for a simple interaction. Bonus points if it has some kind of “progress bar” to show just how much longer you need to hold that button down.

  Why did I need to hold X/whatever just to press the thing that opens the door? Why did I have to hold that button down for a grand total of 4 seconds before you actually did your little interaction animation? Why couldn’t it just be a button press?

  Part of me kinda blames Halo, as that’s the first game I can remember where it was “hold button to interact;” except in every Halo game up until 4, it was only slightly longer than a normal button press so it was still incredibly quick.

  So I just looked at screenshots for Carrier Command, and from the short description and pictures, it looks kinda like you take the role of a Halo battleship captain yet you can also personally pilot any of the vehicles and such?

  That sounds badass.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xbox 360 superfan amasses all 1,353 North American discs after two‑decade collection spree⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s been a shorthand for “achievement” for a long time. In fact, there’s an achievement in Fable 2 that’s called I Did This For A Cheevo (maybe that was the description?)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ryan Reynolds on The X-Files⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You just reminded me of the plot.

  Two girls killing other students (I believe, maybe there was an adult as well?) posing them as satanic rituals. There was a new teacher in town who everyone suspected was her because she was weird, but it wasn’t her.

  I believe she did end up being an actual Satanist/possessed by a demon or something, but she wasn’t really the cause?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ryan Reynolds on The X-Files⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I remember that episode, I literally did the Leo meme when I realized it was him. Wasn’t the teacher a demon or something?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Video games where you get to kill US soldiers⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Uh… I mean there’s Halo Wars, which lets you play as Covenant leaders in certain modes (in 2 there’s a DLC storyline where you play as the aliens again, but not against the humans). The UNSC is basically the US Army In Space.

  Aside from that I’m not sure. There’s probably plenty of mods for other games though. Like GMod, there are tons of NPCs and such in the steam workshop, plenty of US military characters to choose from. You can then load into a map, set up a spawner (or spawn them in yourself), and start blasting. I did actually do something like this back when the George Floyd protests were going on: I went in the game, spawned in a bunch of cop NPCs and just started blasting and mowing them down.

  It actually did feel pretty good, tbh.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I only played the “first” one, but that one did feel incredibly like Halo to me. Just with the added functionality of portals.

  I mean you have an assault rifle, a battle rifle, a pistol, a DMR, and shotguns. I’m sure there are some other ones I’m not remembering.

  Nice. I’ve played two of these (Schedule I and Abiotic Factor).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Movie Duels [Star Wars: Jedi Academy mod] Update No. 7 Released⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I need to actually try this mod one of these days. Jedi Academy is one of my all-time favorite Star Wars games. Jedi Outcast is pretty damn good too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 530 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I watched a video of someone trying to 100% this game as fast as possible.

  He was doing pretty good at first, then he started talking about the fossils…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dying Light⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The first game is so incredibly atmospheric. Walking through the empty snow-covered New York streets, looting through abandoned houses, apartments and offices; exploring the subway and other iconic NYC locations.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nvidia GeForce Now’s Time Limit Will Stop Gamers After 100 Hours Each Month⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That too. Even though my Game Pass has been cancelled and I haven’t had Xbox Live in a couple years, I can also still go into the Xbox PC app, install any game that I’ve bought that’s also PC compatible or stream whatever I own that isn’t (but still has cloud workability).

  It’s how I’ve been playing Halo Wars 2 lately. And I’ve seen the Fable games are cloud compatible, but I haven’t tried those on PC yet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nvidia GeForce Now’s Time Limit Will Stop Gamers After 100 Hours Each Month⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  From what I understand about this subscription (I never looked into it before) it’s basically like a reverse Game Pass? So you pay the monthly subscription, and you can play the games that are on the service, on different devices aside from just a PC?

  While that does sound pretty cool and impressive, I can’t imagine most people, or most anyone that calls themselves a gamer would touch this service with a 20’ pole. Like at that point, just own the game and system you want. You can play whenever and for however long you want.

  Also, this may sound weird, but after reading the article I have a strong urge to start a game and just let it run idle, racking up playtime. Out of spite for Nvidia I guess.

  “Dad Action Movies” are huge and are only gonna get more and more popular as the actors age. Jason Momoa has already done like five.

  I’m not sure about games personally, but there’s the Mantella mod for Skyrim which is pretty much exactly what you’re looking for.

  Check out this video if you want to see how it works in practice.

  I was also disappointed by that.

  Thankfully RTGame has a full playthrough and stream VOD uploaded. It’s actually who I watched play it first and I instantly fell in love

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Divinity - Cinematic Announcement Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s why there are different kinds of trailers. You have announcement/teaser trailers, gameplay trailers, cinematic trailers (for showing cutscenes and story content), character trailers…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some good games to play while sick?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Goddamn YouTuber influencers made me get Megabonk the other day, and it’s pretty fun. It reminds me of Risk if Rain 2

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Divinity - Cinematic Announcement Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The Cyberpunk 2077 announcement trailer was barely even a trailer. Just a moving jpeg of a woman with swords coming out of her arms.

  Elder Scrolls 6’s announcement trailer was literally just a super quick flyover of some landscape then a title card.

  Don’t suddenly start acting like it’s this huge problematic practice when it’s literally how every piece of media uses announcement trailers - hell, even books will have announcement trailers extremely similar in style to this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Divinity - Cinematic Announcement Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ego Draconis or Original Sin 2? I’m not a diehard fan or anything, but I know some people online like to make the distinction known.

  I’ve only really played Ego Draconis (Divinity 2), but I’ve played the tutorial of Original Sin 2.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Divinity - Cinematic Announcement Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s kinda how announcement trailers usually go though?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 514 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been hankering to play some MCC for the last couple weeks. It doesn’t help that I’ve been listening to the Halo 2 soundtrack basically on repeat.

  I just want another Dragon Knight Saga game.

  Being able to transform into a fucking dragon at will practically whenever the hell you want was a massive plus in the game’s favor. Hell of a lot of jank though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you cheat in video games?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  In survival crafting games I’ll almost always make it easier on myself through the world settings or something. Getting rid of item and food decay, boosting XP gain, making sure I get 100+ of each resource anytime I go mining or whatever.

  Enshrouded is a massive pain in the ass on normal settings, so I make it easier to explore, gather, and fight enemies. Otherwise it’d take me at least twice as long to get to where I’m at in the game, and that already took me over 100 hours.

  Palworld I do all those things and increase pal spawn rate so there’s always at least 5 pals in a group at any given time. It makes capturing them so much easier.

  Idk the last time I actually “cheated” in a video game though. Maybe one of the Lego games?

  Arkham Asylum but not the rest? /s

  I loved Spider-Man and Miles Morales, I need to play Spider-Man 2 but I’m waiting for a better sale on steam.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 492 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Halo 3 Theater was the best, imo. Idk why, but I never really bothered with it in the later games, aside from ODST.
