It's not a ghost, but probably a 'living corpse'. The 'living dead' with a hell of a lot of bloodlust...
It's a very large rat with very odd proportions.

Just finished Hacknet. I had a good time with it. I guess I wasn't expecting it to end up so... melancholic?

e: for some reason I didn't get the achievement for beating the game though. Nevermind, the Steam page just didn't update for a while.

Huh, curious. I might have to finally settle in and play this, backlog permitting.

my favorite part about risk of rain is the server-side hit confirmation. why do co-op games keep doing this it's not like this poo poo is competitive and every hit needs to be pixel perfect and confirmed by a rules judge to count

halo 1 has kind of lame level design but the shooting is really fun and halo 2 and 3 have lots of really cool setpieces, and they're in a pretty neat area where despite being pretty story-heavy the story mainly informs the gameplay instead of taking constant priority, and what story is there is surprisingly low-key. even halo 3's big grand finale with explosions and gunfire everywhere has a surprisingly quiet and sad ending that doesn't linger too long or feel like it's trying to force emotional impact

Halo and Halo 2 were so popular, beloved, and influential that acting like they were always bad and never had any redeeming qualities is just baffling to me. It's like saying that the first two Sam Raimi Spider-Man movies were objectively terrible, even if you personally didn't like them and they haven't aged amazingly they're still something that even almost 20 years later you can still see the DNA of it in new things that are coming out.

I think, like Halo games for the gameplay or not, you have to admit that the 343 Halos are really lacking for not having a Marty O'Donnell score, the music in Halo 4 and 5 is just so fuckin forgettable. Literally, I can't actually remember any bit of those games' soundtracks while I'll probably have bits of the OTrilogy's music stuck in my head until I die. Now ODST, that was a game with a good score. Give me some sweet saxophone music to shoot aliens by.

Honestly this game was way better than it had any right to be and I'm forever disappointed that the proposed sequel never came to light.

Halo 2 best multi worst single

Halo 3 pretty great multi good single but a couple stinker levels

ODST better than I thought it would be. Halo: Nathan Fillion edition.

Reach pretty good, multi started good but went downhill

4, 5 - basically the prequel trilogy of star wars when it comes to Halo

Halos combination of epic classic pieces and buttrock was so good that even though anyone who listens to it as music makes me cringe, I cant help but get pumped while hearing it.

I am a huge fan of video game music. I love to listen to normal versions, orchestral versions and cool remix versions! Especially while driving. (Lady VG is surprisingly OK with it.)

One of my favourite soundtracks is the VVVVVV album and the followup PPPPPPowerup. Something about the crunchy crispiness of the soundtrack makes me ridiculously happy, like when I first played the NES.

That's the low point of halo 1. That's way way way way better than anything in Halo 4 or 5.

Seriously Halo 4 and 5 are Star Wars Episodes 1 and 2 levels of awful. If they make a 6 it'll be Episode 3.
