This doesn’t make me super want to play 5, the only game in the main series I haven’t played, but it does make me appreciate the rest, sometimes in ways I’ve recognized, and others not so much. Halo was somewhat unique in the Halo 3 2007 era, where every game was shades of grey and brown, because enemies were still colorful, with distinct designs and silhouettes, and the game at least started in a lush jungle. While certainly waypoints made a difference, I want to say most interactive items were either brightly lit forerunner panels in blue, covenant panels in bright green, or human ones that were just a huge green button. Clearly that design was well thought out and done for good reason, even if it would be reasonable to consider them a little silly in their dramatic design. They stood out, even in halo 3s large setpiece battle areas
Halo 5, ultimately feels like more 4 to me, so I’d say you’re not missing much besides the lore. But yeah, the design is really the worst part here.
Now that you mention the bright colors and standout interactive pieces of the earlier games, that’s definitely the difference I’m noticing between these. Like with the shutter door I mentioned. It really does not look like you can smash through it or interact with it in anyway.
Yeah, and that’s okay, as long as you’ve taught your players to be looking for that. If it’s the fifth game in the series and suddenly shifts to a couple of small, subtle interactibles and occasional pieces of important destructible environment, where those never existed prior, you better be using them all over, and from the start teaching players that they exist. It’s so important to teach players what the game expects of them. Going “what do I do!?” Is such a horrible experience every time, even in otherwise good games
This one was fun with friends. I saw a YouTuber a few years ago play one that also looked interesting but I can’t for the life of me remember what it’s called.
I wouldn’t mind one of these that looks like it’s going to pan out to be a horror game but then just is a regular Late Shift game
Do not get the Razor! I got one and have had nothing but problems and now it flat out just doesn’t work. I bough the 8bitdo equivalent and it’s awesome. amzn.eu/d/b1tmLi9, neither are that compact though. It looks like there are a fair few recommendations so I’m sure you’ll find something, just dont get the Razor.
How do you find the time to play all these games, and the friends to play them with. After work and personal chores I feel like I have so little time left for myself I usually can’t bring myself to play anything other than a few short rounds of Dead By Daylight solo queue and I’m single right now, can’t imagine the situation if I had a family
I’m a college student currently living with his parents and i don’t work, and I planned my courses really well. Like right now I only have classes 3/7 days a week. So the result is just a lot of free time on my hand. And I’ve always been kind of diligent about personal chores (or found ways to be efficient about them)
So outside of class time, I really only spend my time studying, playing games, and hanging out with friends. It’s really a situation I’m lucky (and thankful to have)
We all go through time like that. If you like single player games, what helped me was getting a Switch (I had almost quit gaming before that), the ability to play on a handheld which you can pause (put in sleep) anywhere is a godsend. Everyone is different though, but can be worth a try. You can try getting a SteamDeck, and see if that works for you.
At the end of the day, if playing short rounds of Death by Daylight is what you enjoy the most, nothing wrong with just keep doing that.
Yeah I’m either gonna get a steam deck or get a tablet and setup moonlight for remote gaming in the future, I think because my job involves sitting at a desk 8 hours a day, after work I just don’t want to sit on my computer for much longer, a handheld gaming device would help with that
This is pretty much why I can’t play much PC games either (even though there are some genres I love that work bes on PC). Handheld works best, or sitting on a couch in front of TV.
I love tablets as a good general purpose device, but don’t have much experience with remote play. Just check how well it works with controllers and the latency / lag.
I litterarly just posted a comment about the brilliant BBC documentary Nuclear Nightmares, a documentary about our fear of radiation, you can watch it here:
The best MMO for Halloween IMO is secret world. unfortunately it is pretty dead, so finding people for group content is near impossible, but the solo quests are pretty well done and a lot of fun.
Have you seen the game VEIN that just came out? I haven’t played Zomboid in years but the few reviews of VEIN that I’ve seen all describe it as “Zomboid but first person.”
(I only mention this because I’ve seen you post about Zomboid several times so thought you might enjoy something allegedly similar. I’m not affiliated in any way.)
Someone actually suggested it the other day to me on one of these posts and it looked interesting. I was having network issues at the time but it looked good and i saved it for later
Ah, the Rosewood Fire Department, my old friend. Tear down the stairs, throw some sheet ropes out the window, build a door to the roof to set up a farm and some water barrels above the sinks and you’ve got yourself a little slice of heaven.
That would be pretty awesome, I think. You’d have to pull up your rope ladder every time and remember to drop it down when you leave. I’d probably die more to auto-defenestration because I forgot to drop the sheet rope than zeds.
I hadn’t thought of tearing down the stairs, it’s a good idea. We had gotten a sledge hammer we found on the side of the road on the way there so maybe we’ll give it a try
For sure, at least imo. I have met a few people who prefer singleplayer. Multiplayer and Singleplayer honestly though feel like two completely different vibes
“Backfirewall_” from a little while back. A masterpiece that deserved more attention! Highly recommend to anyone here who is big on tech (especially programmers)!
