Anything Elder Scrolls kept me busy much longer than the main story, most notably Morrowind. Also, I replayed GTA IV (+ stories) last week, was heaps of fun, especially compared to GTA V which I played a few months back. Read Dead Redemption 2 is a good one for this list as well, I enjoyed that one immensely, but I mainly focused on the main quest during that run-through, so this is a good reminder to myself to pick this up again soon (sadly I fell back into the pull of Satisfactory so it might be some weeks/months/… before I get to it)
There was a time between the Mordor you remember from the movies where it was inhabited by people from Gondor and was a thriving area while Sauron was away for centuries in the far east. Now, the whole spirit of Celebrimbor is a hot new take (also one I didnt mind) but they did a good job of staying true to what Mordor was probably like during the time.
I find it cool that you have such a solid group of friends to game with, it looks like you guys have tons of fun! ( I’m envious). Some 14 years ago, when I got casually into gaming; my crowd were mostly just drinking buddies, so sadly that didn’t stand the test of time…
I’m thankful to have them to play games with. We all went to highschool and when me and my best friend were doing our Halo 2 Legendary run and about to move onto 3 we mentioned it to one of our other friends and they offered to join for 3. Then the 4th guy joined and by then we had kind of gotten a group together. I’m glad we were able to reconnect in that way
Infection on Zealot has to be one of the best times in Reach PvP. Your Reach posts have made me very nostalgic, but this one might take the cake. Good job.
Absolutely. I also loved infection on that one map that’s in the same world as the forge map, it’s like a floating level over water. Can’t remember the name now, it’s been years. Then there’s also a good one that’s all indoors, sort of a fancy human building, maybe corporate or hotel originally, I can’t remember now.
Then Alexandria was awesome, there was a super cheesy spot you could get to there. Oh and then there was an outdoors map with sort of a circular building in the middle of the map, that was great for infection too. Oh and then another indoor one, all grey walls, small outdoor area where you could fall to your death.
Now that I think of it, I think I just loved that game altogether. Damn now I’m nostalgic.
The forge based maps have some really solid ones. There’s one called Asylum (I think?) that I like to play Slayer on. it’s got like this little tower in the center with bridges connecting it too two other platforms.
Finished it tonight, it’s a delight and anyone complaining about “wokeness” clearly has not played the game. Demo is free guys, rest of it plays out just like that.
Damn. Me and a friend took months to finish Halo 2 on legendary. I think I’d do a yearly replay if it wasn’t for that. I have lots of respect for you doing the replays
halo 2 is virtually unbeatable on legendary, except you use speedrun strats and cheese. i gotta admit i turn down the difficulty in h2 because it doesn’t feel like the rock-paper-scissors type gameplay the other games offer. it’s just brutally unfair. your survrival in the first second on the high charity level depends on rng… i play for fun, not to torture myself
The high charity level was unbelievable. It just tossed you in front of some needler grunts and Brutes and called it a day. To this day the line “Watch out for the Captain, it’s got a Brute Shot” is still burned into my mind because of how many times I had to hear it
I am sure anyone who played Tears of the Kingdom did that at some point, but there are those koroks little guys you’re supposed to guide to their destination, generally by designing machines to carry them there.
Of course instead you just strap them to the most absurd rocket powered contraptions and play Korok Space Program.
