Iām working my way through Cult of the Lamb Woolhaven mostly. What a masterpiece of a game. Iām also playing KH, I guess now that KH4 seems like itās actually going to release Iāll replay what Iāve played and catchup on what I havenāt. Lastly, my son and I have been playing Halo together. He organically found his first skull last night, Iām so proud. š„¹
@shoeses itās been a while since Iāve played them, so I donāt recall those, but that definitely warrants a remake. I believe it was 2 my ex, friend, and I played through together, I donāt remember there being any points like that in it, though I could be wrong. Either way, Iāll take what I can get with those two games at this point.
I must ask you all, are you lost and in search of guidance? If so, seek us out. As leader of the Cult of the Lamb, I vow to give you the guidance needed to live a fulfilling, long life.
@InterceptorAlpha I havenāt tried the campaign on Legendary at all, so I canāt speak about that. Itās my sonās first time playing Halo and a FPS, so Iām playing it on Normal for him. After reading your response Iām very curious to see how the main Campaign is on Legendary.
If youāve played the new prequel missions did you have the same experience? I found them insanely unfair and unbalanced. A friend of mine had the same issue in the same area I was stuck on for a while, I eventually got through it, just to get stuck in the next area. A few podcasters I listen to on Last Stand Media, who love Halo and play on Legendary, said the same thing about it.
Iām playing it on Normal with my son, his first time playing Halo, and we are really loving it. My biggest complaint is that I jumped into the new missions on Heroic and they are absurd, Iāve never had such a tough time on Heroic or Legendary before, with the exception of the final boss in 2. They really over did itās difficulty.
@Weebleman Iām with Fiendish-Beaver, itās such an underrated game. Itās tough and doesnāt tell you a thing, but itās a great game. The only real tip I have is take notes.
I hate to se people lose their jobs, but this all needed to happen. The damage is done with the brand and recovery is improbable, but if thereās at all a chance to recover it has to start here. My best wishes to everyone whoās been impacted by this.
@Elbow I believe they said they were adding story content too, but I agree. Thatās why I added the quotes on new though. Fans have been starving for so long I donāt think itāll matter that itās a remake of a remaster of a remake of a remake.
Duskfade looks fantastic! Releasing a Starfox like Game would be really exciting⦠if they didnāt wait until a ānewā Starfox was finally releasing.
I just made it to the airport last night and Iām absolutely loving it. Itās a great blend of Hitman, Uncharted, and Sleeping Dogs. I loved how they did his training in the game, and I really enjoy that the other missions Iāve done have let me solve them in multiple ways. If I started to get stuck on something Iād try a different way and Iād get through, itās very Hitman in that.
I adore my Steam Deck, I use it constantly, but it is absolutely not worth getting for those prices. Especially when the Switch 2 is cheaper, plays much smoother, itās lighter, the battery lasts longer, and you can play plenty of new titles on it.
@Gunonaboat I honestly have not seen any āsupportā of their claims that itās woke outside of the main character being a woman. I donāt know that thereās any reason beyond that. IGN and many other outlets gave it a 10 and Iām seeing people say, āOf course they gave it a 10, itās woke!ā
I really hope she delivers on all of her promises and works out. Sheās saying all of the right things, and sheās implemented some great changes already, so the future is looking brighter, but games are still the number one priority and we need to see what happens with them under her leadership.
Master Chief Collection is the best possible bang for your buck. Aside from that Iām going to cheat and say get Game Pass Ultimate, the value would be absurd for a new to Xbox player.
