@Bob_Salat the mako is bad for sure but they generally do not ask much of you when you are riding it (mostly crossing some big open areas with lost of mountains). Said so the "mako" version of Andromeda is God tier!
So hope that you all have a good time with *Halo 2. If I was not so busy with ohter games atm I would have joined the fun. It would be cool to know more about how the game are holding up today btw.. Feel free to share the progress you are making.
Made a start this week but progress has been slow as illness has been tearing through my house. I’ve just arrived on the Halo after the Arbiter mission, which was a surprise and was pretty fun. It felt like you just get abandoned for most of the mission despite your crew being ‘Spec ops Elites’.
Overall, feels more solid than CE and a definite step up in production, although the FMV is a little jarring as I’m so used to in engine cut scenes now 😂
I still feel, and this could be a me thing, that enemies just feel spongy. It takes loads of ammo to take anything on and I’m not quite feeling the connection with the gunplay thus far. I recently completed Dead Space Remake and the gunplay is chunky so this may be affecting my experience.

Personally I kind of miss it 😅. When I replay FF VII for example I still look forward to the cutscenes even though they are quite low poly nowadays.
Regarding the sponginess of it I want to say is a balance thing as both you and the enemies have shields (not all but many), but there are a few weapons that are powerfully enough to deal with it fairly quick too.
@nintendobynature. What if we instead of just playing the gears games did a study of them? I can ohterwise state that I would likely be able to commit to play Gears 2 or 3 next month. So that is where my vote goes. Many thanks guys for provading me the opportunity to case a vote for the games.
Finished the campaign last night and have to say it was a real step up from Combat Evolved. This was everything a sequel should be. The story, maps, weapons and pacing all honed and improved over CE and the FMV cutscenes ended up being a real treat and felt like a real hit of nostalgia. Navigating an alien civil war was a particular highlight, exhilarating stuff. I even went out of my way to seek out the terminals, still loads to find, there’s just so much lore available. Unlike the first game, I’ve finished the sequel actually excited to play more Halo, so a huge win.
@Balta666 Well I think we could like study the tech and controls in the game for exemple. But will tbh not be to sad if Gears are not picked for next month.

Since I just finished one of my games, it's perfect timing to fire up spyro. Hopefully i can complete before indy comes out, because I'm pretty much dropping everything when it does.
Played through a couple levels to 100% so far. Controls take some getting used to, but the game looks beautiful. Like I may have mentioned a time or two in the past, I may have played this back during the ps1 era, but I don't remember much about it. Is the overall goal to free dragons? And collect gems? I'm guessing at some point you gain new abilities too?
@NintendoByNature if I remember correctly you get to fly freely (like in the bonus stages) at some point but from what I have played so far it may well be by finishing the game first
So I have played about 2h the other day and well the only good thing I can say about it is that in that period of time I accomplished a 57% completion rate and therefore I should be able to see all stages in another hour or so... Because I cannot thing about another praise for it... It is the most dull experience in gaming I had in many many years. The fact your only objective is to find diamonds and dragons is repetitive and boring, the gameplay is both floaty and non responsive and I cannot understand how a game in the last 15 years still has mandatory reversed flying controls!!!!!! I refuse to play the flying special stages because of it. I may finish it because it is so short but I am definitely not looking forward to play it again I am afraid (p.s: I would be pissed if I bought this game back in the day for more than a fiver)
