Linktank, do games w One hour into Gears 5 and I feel its a lot better than 4

Shocked this game had any sequels at all. Came out sometime after the original halo and it had like 4 weapons. Did they add more?

Yes, there are some pretty fun weapons in the Gears sequels. I like the torque bow.

I’m not sure what Halo has to do with it? Also from what I remember Gears was a huge franchise back in the peak Xbox 360 days so of course it got sequels

VerseAndVermin,

I think you just noted why they compared them. Both were huge.

Kinda sad to see the state of them now.

Some would say weapons aren’t the only thing that makes a game good

Mass Effect 1? Trash, not enough weapons

rafoix,

“Not enough effects. False advertising”

Nelots,

Honestly. Games that came out after late 2001 and have less than 5 weapons have no business getting sequels. That said, I feel like we’re ignoring some more important criteria here. Like the amount of main characters named John. Gears of War didn’t have any! Can you believe that??

It’s him, John Gears, of War

wouldn’t it be crazy if they could, i dunno, add weapons in sequels?

Linktank,

That WOULD be crazy! It might even prompt some people to ask if it had been done! Crazy!

I don’t like 1:1 ports for a simple reason. The janky af controls and cameras. Sure 1:1 is fine for some older games. But some games could use a coat of paint before a port. I don’t want that nostalgic feeling of playing an old game for the sake of playing an old game. I want that nostalgic feeling of “holy shit this is crazy” from advancements in technology.

I see Assassin’s Creed III Remastered! I’ve been playing that lately, it’s been a fun time. Uncharted too.

I had a mixed feeling about that one but it was a unique AC experience. Uncharted was amazing. I honestly miss my playstation because of it but given my life decisions I think steam deck would be the perfect choice.

@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

I recently bought a PS3 just for the first 3 Uncharted games (I always play 4 on PC). But yeah, the Steam Deck has been my first gaming PC for a long time so i totally get it’s reliability (i bought it on launch). I only recently built a Gaming PC, and the deck is getting a well earned retirement as a Visual Novel and Halo PvP machine.

2007 was the time since i’ve been playing video games. This is the first year where I actually spent a lot of hours on gaming and finished a lot of games.

So many solid suggestions here already. I have a soft spot for the more retro styled games, and despite being short Gato Roboto is one of my favourites. It just feels so good to play.

Sirence, do games w What is your favorite Metroidvania?

People calling search action games metroidvania is a big pet peeve of mine. No idea why it bothers me. Anyways hollow knight is my favorite, followed closely by silksong.

JigglySackles,

I get it. I’ve seen some on here that make no sense to me as metroidvanias. But I think it might be generational. To me a metroidvania has to be 2D, because those are the kinds of metroid and castlevania games I grew up on.

Seeing suggestions for Batman Arkham games or Supraland (love both series) is a weird suggestion to me because I see those as action and puzzle platformer respectively. But for people growing up with 3D Metroid etc. I can see why they’d classify it that way, even though I think the series changed away from the classic metroidvania genre at that point and into more action or action platformer.

Sirence,

The generational part might be true. The Castlevania games I grew up with were no “metroidvanias” so the name is doubly silly to me.

JigglySackles,

Really? Were they the later games? I grew up with the NES ones.

Sirence,

Mostly Snes for me. Ironically Simons quest for nes I’d actually consider a search action game, but the game was quite the outlier from the normal level based linear Castlevania games and not very popular.

I love this style of game. I always have one on the go. Some times they scratch the itch, others they miss just a bit. I found that the blasphemous series more dark souls than Metroidvania. Biogun, chasm, bloodstained, any of the ori games, haiku, the mummy demastered, turnip boy commits tax evasion, dust an Elysian tale… I have more but that’s a solid chunk. I’d love to hear from others if they do or don’t consider these in the same family.

Do you consider Zelda64 a MetroidVania? If so then Darksiders has that action, similarly control, soul reaver 1 and 2, and blood omen 2.

ICCrawler, do games w What is your favorite Metroidvania?

I have a list of Metroidvanias I’ve started but never completed. The only one that managed to hold my attention to completion that wasn’t an actual Metroid title was Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. Which is a shame, because Ori and The Blind Forest is beautiful and Hollowknight is very cute, but neither could really hold my attention.

I’ve been putting off finishing my 700 achievements for too long. I’m scheduling some time with my friend to start on the halo:ce LASO next week

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

i found it when i was trying to do my Sub 3 hours Halo 3 Legendary run with friends. It was super handy for tracking it. I’ve also found the MCC Achievement Tracker pretty handy. It’s made collecting my 477/700 achievements just a little bit easier.

Good luck with CE Laso by the way. I did the first 2 levels with a friend and got stumped on the third, i know how hard it can be

Man, I feel so much nostalgia over Halo, especially Reach. It was the first campaign I completed on Legendary. My brother and I used to play the Swat game mode a lot, and we made one hell of a team. It was a nice contrast to arguing all the time. I enjoyed when I was in the zone and reacting so quickly that salty people would accuse me of using aimbot. That’s the highest compliment one can receive in an online shooter.

Yeah but this one has my favourite monopoly’s logo on it.
