tried out halo infinite campaign and released that a lot has happened in the halo universe since I last played halo2

I had to go and look up how many games there were because I think I forgot halo 3 and 4 entirely, or merged them. which one had the angry orange robots? that one wasn't as good as the others.

you’re probably thinking of 4

that was when the franchise was moved to another studio and they decided to base the new game plot on the tie-in novels, which had been left to their own devices for far too long

it was the same studio that eventually made infinite which people seem to like so I guess they learned their lesson

Homeworld 1 was one of those games what I loved but sucked too hard at to enjoy.

wasn't it possible to gently caress yourself over if you captured too many vessels in a particular mission? like five missions later you'd suddenly get an insurmountable force because the game auto-scaled up?

i think most people saying its good have mostly been playing the multiplayer

this time a bunch of stuff happens between the last game and this one but i can't tell yet if i'm meant to have read some books or if they're slow-rolling the backstory

i think that was definitely the case in some early patches of homeworld 2.

homeworld 1 my recollection is the opposite. i just would send a swarm of salvage corvettes and attack bombers at any capital ship; use the bombers to take out the engines while the enemy focuses on them because they're the immediate threat, and then 10 seconds later oops you have 6 corvettes locked on and you are coming back with me now. i ended up with more taiidan capital ships than my own

mcc is the best remaster of a game i've played, the new graphics are nice but the originals are a button press away at any time (and running in 60fps widescreen)

yeah, that was a pretty cool feature. i didn't discover it till halfway through halo 1. amazing that they were able to do the transition so seamlessly.

best remaster of any game i've played is tomb raider: anniversary, but that's more of a remake

salvage corvettes were great, they could grab manoeuvring enemy corvettes too.

hit 100 shrines in botw. kinda running out of motivation to find the rest myself, might use a guide for the remaining. might finish upgrading a couple more armour sets as well before i put it away. farming lynel and hinox stuff is decent fun, the dragon horn/scale/claws not so much

my son and i beat the game in his play through a while back and i lost interest in finishing off my save. skyrim is helping to scratch that itch now tho.
