Halo CE and ODST the other day was more so to break in the game to check if the game was functioning. I was having a bug with it and needed to fix it.

We first beat CE Legendary a few years ago and ODST we did to take a break because we assumed it would be quicker than jumping straight into Halo 2 Legendary. We’ve sadly been stuck on Halo 2 legendary for half a year. It’s me and my Friend’s Co-Op project

I’m very happy for making it this far. Besides just the fact I enjoy sharing my screenshots with other people and reading the discussions people have around the games I play, I feel like it’s helped establish a pattern I’ve been using in my day to day life to stay dedicated to other tasks

I wouldn’t mind a ODST remake. I really enjoyed the first one

Something about the stones bothers me, idk what though

I’m ashamed to say it took me until a few months ago to get to it. I finally got around too it though after my full yearly play through of Alan Wake 1 earlier this year

Alan Wake 1. It’s one of the few games i can play over and over again and not get bored. Sometimes i’ll just pop in and play a chapter when i want something to do. I keep it and it’s sister game, Alan Wake’s American Nightmare on system at all times just so i can play it

That’s what i was thinking when i took them. Its impressive, especially considering this is all running on my Steam Deck

I took a class that covered it a while ago. From what i understood of that unit, it can be pretty difficult. Even after shaders for the water and things to handle vertex displacement maps and tessellation, if they want the Water to do more then they have to code that on too (Think Red Dead 2’s Water reacting to being shot or just basic Splash Physics or foam). It was really fascinating to learn about even though i don’t remember much of the Unit

Naughty Dog has a pretty good track record with pretty and polished games. The only bad one that springs to mind is the PC port of the Last of Us Part 1, and even then i believe Iron galaxy handled that port (which is surprising it came out buggy because they also handled Uncharted 4’s PC port and afaik it came out fine), and from what i know now it’s been fixed too

Scotland is one of my favorite sections of the game with how pretty it is. Plus the ruins the game has you climb around in

I liked 4 a lot. It felt like an appropriate end to Drake’s story, especially with the more grounded story with supernatural elements out and the new mechanics added. I loved The epilogue on my first play through too. I had to stop and go “woah, is this really a video game?” with the lighting

Damn, i thought this was one of my screenshots for a second and you were pointing out the specific screenshot. The resemblance is uncanny

I ended up googling the Iron Skull to see exactly how it works. sadly it’s forced on by Legendary Mode in Halo 2 for Co-Op. Thank you for the help though, i’ll be keeping that in the back of my mind once i try out the skulls system

Damn, i can’t believe i missed that with having just played Sea of Thieves’s whole Monkey Island quest the other day

We’re currently playing the MCC version. I’d assume it’s the anniversary remaster since i can toggle back and forth like with CE’s anniversary

Is there a way to turn Iron Skull off? it was on by default in Halo 2 Legendary since the first level and it’s been a pain in the ass (as much as i love a challenge)

I’m doing it Co-Op and the forced reset upon a players death is making it really difficult. We’ve been spending almost entire days on just a single level. I’m dreading having to do LASO since I think there’s achievements for that too

I’ve heard Reach is supposed to be similar. I’m excited to get to it. I still need to finish 2 on Legendary, and go back and do CE after I accidentally played it without anti-Cheat trying to fix a bug it was having with split screen on Steam Deck and I didn’t get the achievements (I set myself the impossible task of 100% MCC, so I’m dedicated to doing it)

Thank you! Sharing my screenshots is one of my favorite parts of my day. I like hearing people say they enjoy them

I’m playing the MCC Collection in order rn (it’s my first experience with Halo in general). I haven’t touched the story for 4 or Reach, but the MP for 4 felt very COD-ish compared to the first three. I’ll have to check back in with you on the story with 4/Reach when I get to those though
