I really loved RE2: remake. I played the original RE3 and finished it this year, I wasn't a huge fan. Should I get RE3: remake or wait for it to drop in price even more?

chglcu posted:No idea if this is something that’s been fixed since, but back around the time the Tower of Time came out, I was really enjoying it, but then my save got stuck in the slow mode, even outside battles. Had no other saves to go back to so ended up dropping it rather than replaying the previous hours. So I’d suggest maybe rotating multiple save files with that game if you do end up playing it. Oh poo poo, thanks for the heads up. It was on for a good sale so I bought it

Played a bit of Youropa tonight - while it started out good, it became more and more frustrating with half-baked platforming and finicky controls in contrast with the more puzzle-like nature of the first parts of the game. Don't recommend.

Any opinion on Halo nowadays? I've never played it as I've never had an Xbox in my household, but I was a bit curious as to experience this landmark game and wondering if doing a coop campaign through the series could be fun. However, part of me is thinking that might be a bad idea as 1) it's probably very outdated and far from the new intense action I crave from games like Dusk or Doom Eternal 2) I mostly just play for the spectacle and combat and try to avoid long cutscene games, so I don't know if the lore and story is gonna have any impression on me and 3) maybe Halo was known for its PvP multiplayer instead, which I'm not interested in, so perhaps I'm looking in the wrong place and I should just get Deep Rock Galactic or something instead for coop fun.

I'm playing it right now. I got a console version for $15 on BF. $15 is the right price, no more. I've never played the original but I understand it felt like a real step down from RE2, and this feels like a real step down from RE2R. The core gameplay is fine, but the "gimmick" just doesn't work for me.

Reach is a prequel and the only "lore" you need to know is that Reach was a colony that got mentioned in the other Halos as "that planet that the evil alien Covenant hosed up before Halo 1 took place."

The last decade has seen a shift as more of the lore focused on how terrible and unrelenting it is, literally nothing good, and started to stray further and further away from the "ironic" glorious fascism vibe of the 80s and 90s. The fanbase still skews pretty fash, one of the biggest w40k youtubers was recently called out for being a chud and a lot of the fanbase was pretty meh about it, but GW had no problem issuing an extremely direct statement denouncing bigotry and telling fans to go gently caress themselves if they don't like it.

I was gifted noita. About an hour after installing I accidentally discovered that the "bouncy projectile" and "homing projectile" perks together turn chainsaws into some sort of horrifying Chainsaw Molecules that fill the air and indiscriminately dice apart all living matter in sight regardless of distance. https://i.imgur.com/H1NbSxO.mp4 https://i.imgur.com/CQlovut.mp4 so uh I accidentally won the game on my fourth run. the downside of this is that the Chainsaw Molecules also set off every explosive object in the zip code and create so much smoke that it's easy to accidentally suffocate, but that seems like a fair tradeoff

Thanks for the Halo feedback! Just to clarify though, since maybe I was being unfair to compare it to modern games and didn't give enough details, so I've made an example: I've gone through and played Half-Life 1 (not Black Mesa, just classic) recently and had a lot of fun as, despite it being very old and rather simple compared to the more complex games nowadays, it has a good flow to it with very few stops, along with cool and varied level design, so it held up for me very well. However, when I tried to play Half-Life 2 recently, it was a bit different: the game did have plenty of cool and neat moments, sure, but something about it felt a bit more bland or a bit more tedious, I dunno, maybe it's the subtle gamefeel or maybe it's levels were a bit too large and open at times which caused weird pacing as you plod around, and that wasn't helped by having to go through all the forced story bits and standing in place to wait for people to finish talking and so on as well. Wonder if Halo is a bit more of a Half-Life 2 instead of a Half-Life 1 in this regard. I'm probably just being silly and I should take your advice and avoid Halo, but I was just curious.

I'm currently playing the MCC thanks to a very generous Steam friend, just playing through the original game solo on Heroic (the 2nd highest difficulty). I don't have much nostalgia for the franchise, but I'm actually quite enjoying it. Even Halo: CE has aged pretty well even after all these years, and I find it pretty easy to pick up for a short session. Like it's not DOOM-level intense but it's still pretty smooth. The first game is simliar to the original Star Wars in that there's occasional allusions to a larger universe but 95% of the time it's just shooty lasers. Halo CE definitely has more in common with Half-Life 1 than 2 in the ways you described.

No that actually usefully clarifies some stuff. Given that I would recommend you play Reach first and then ODST if you want more, without any hesitation on those recommendations. Then if you want more still, you can play the original trilogy but those start coming with caveats like bad levels and bad enemies. Whether that's worth the full purchase of the MCC or doing it piecemeal is up to you.

TheOneAndOnlyT posted:My favorite little thing about DRG is that with my group on Xbox, whenever someone clicked the right stick to salute, even if it was accidental or at the dumbest possible moment, everyone would salute in response, every time. Nobody ever said anything about doing this at any point, it just happened every time without fail. FOR KARL! Honestly I think the salute/cheer key is the single thing that most contributes to Deep Rock's remarkably chill and friendly player base atmosphere. If ya don't Rock and Stone, ya ain't comin' home.
