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.
I like the screenshot from GMod
Another reason could be straight-up fan service lol. Everyone was asking about New Vegas even before the first season aired.
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?)
I haven’t watched season 2 yet so I have no idea.
That said, it is a TV show, meaning a longer story format. You did say it’s only the first two episodes so far, so maybe by the next (or 4th) it’ll really ramp up; that’s kinda how it seemed to go in the first season anyway.
Maybe they have another season or so of story they want to tell, so 2 might be the midpoint or something.
It’s honestly such a good show though
3 and New Vegas are both really good. If you liked the story of 4, you’ll probably love those other two.
All that, and I wouldn’t be surprised if someone tried to DMCA him for it. I know it’s not Nintendo, but you never really know with these companies.
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.
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.
Edit: I also actually liked the functionality that grenades had. Instead of a crowd control or room-clearing tool, now they’re specifically to disable enemy portals. So now you had an interesting dynamic where yes, you can portal all the way across the map (or try sniping someone through a portal) into the enemy’s base and try to score, but it also presents a nice little counter to that strategy.
Abiotic Factor pulled me in and didn’t let me go until 1.0 and I finished the story. It’s one of the few games that I actively tried to do everything in the game.
Nice. I’ve played two of these (Schedule I and Abiotic Factor).
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.
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…
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.
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.
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.
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.
It’s called VERMIN3000 DATAHEIST
Nice! Hopefully some of the updates will be able to come out a little quicker. I still need to play around with shrooms.
