I have been playing Stardew Valley because the real world sucks and everybody can piss off 😠
Halo: Combat Evolved. I get what all the hype was about. This is a good game!
I experienced the whole original trilogy last year with a friend on coop. I get it now. Why so many people love Halo.
Btw, Halo 2 and 3 are much better than the first one. If you already liked that, you’re in for a treat.
I wasn’t very patient with that one at the time, somehow managed to get it running on my PC though and had my mind blown. Such a good game, basically everything is fantastic apart from that library level.
Incredible, I’m sure. Especially for people who weren’t playing on PC before - it generally stands up to Half-Life in a lot of ways, including the enemy movement and maybe even AI, but the cutscenes have that more traditional cinematic look. I love the constant immersion of Half-Life, but this feels like watching an awesome sci-fi action movie, like Aliens. There’s enough survival horror and cosmic horror vibes as well to keep you going.
Consoles really didn’t have many good FPS until then. I’d say the Timesplitters series was a standout, as was Medal of Honor: Frontline.
Both of those felt kind of on rails compared to Halo though. Wide open areas, three way battles, vehicles…
Half Life: Opposing Force
Never played it before and the movement feels a lot faster than modern games. Its a good and fun game.
Yeah growing up with that and quake 2 modern games always feels like im running in quicksand or my controls are broken.
This is why I cannot abide the Halo series. I came to them having been raised on Quake, Unreal Tournament, and Half-Life. Halo was like moving through molasses.
Playing through Hades 1. I never got out of Hades until this time around, and I’m having fun grinding to complete some of the fated choices and lounge renovations.
Factorio, checking out Space Age. Discovered that Cliff Explosives are moved further down the tech tree…
