miles and miles of literally identical corridors and arenas, tons of one-hit kill bullshit, not enough ammo, really inaccurate weapons, and the checkpoint system is super dumb and only saves at some random point in the middle of nowhere instead of after a big battle so you have to keep playing the same fight over and over again.
i remember all of these criticisms being made at the time but wasn’t enough to slow it down. killer apps and all that. also the beginning of the end for “considered sp with added mp” as a standard, rather than the reverse

i guess it was a huge deal in 2001 and it was the first real shooter on a console after goldeneye, but ugh

very same. like even when I was dumber in 2001 I thought it was a lot of fun up until the flood levels. so I was prepared to do that. it can still be kind of fun but just haven’t felt like playing it. Lots of fun in multiplayer but last few times I’ve checked it took more than 10 minutes to get a game.

I keep waffling between paying for C&C again or just letting it go

My Halo 1 experience was with the original 2001 PC port

it was the first game I had ever seen that limited the framerate by default (to 30!)

I hated basically every second of it but kept trucking because I figured all the halo fanatics must be right about something

they were not

i don't have that remake but that's what i've heard about that game, yep

could also just be broken? i got C&C 3 a while back in a cheap sale and it was so loving hard and there was one level in particular i tried like 30 times before i gave up and went to look for cheats. then i learned that the latest patches, which the game had of course, had rebalanced the game for multiplayer but also completely broken the campaign because they didn't edit the levels to accommodate the new build costs/damage/etc, or even keep the old values for the campaign. gg

i beat halo 1 and i think the checkpoint system in that game is actually based on killing some specific enemy in each battle/killing every enemy in the area. so sometimes if there's a guy hiding in a corner and you just continue on to the rest of the level, it won't save your progress. brilliant

I was able to get pretty far in the game as a 9 year old or whatever. I haven’t played the remaster but I understand things have gotten harder with some of the tweaks.

the troops being dumb has been a thing in those early engines and I think they said fixing pathing and stuff would break the game

once you get the hang of it it's really great. just zipping around and skeletonizing ships. I hosed up today venting gas, and the gas canisters exploded which caused the reactor core to explode. once my poor computer came out of single digit fps, there was just this massive debris field of metal chunks everywhere, it was awesome

doing a tether chain and watching all the side panels peel off a ship is so satisfying. then you gently caress up and hit yourself in the face with a cargo crate

here's an accurate video of learning the controls and breaking your first ship

also I picked Titanfall 2 up for the singleplayer and it's pretty good, though you have to be dead-on accurate with the guns, they seem extremely precise and unforgiving of lax aim compared to anything else I've played recently with m+kb.

tf2 sp is a lot of fun particularly that one level. you unlock more options as you go, some of them being less finnicky with aiming.

Did anyone play Sunset Overdrive and is it as fun an open-world shooter as it looks? I saw it on Windows Store (lol) for a couple of quid but didn't buy it, just saw it on a proper Steam key for a little extra outlay and the video reviews I checked give it a very vertical Saints Row vibe to them.

I just got out of the Titanfall2 Sewers Sludge Tunnels, so I still have to find theses fun levels.
