@dkxcalibur they should have remastered the full trilogy and put it out on ps5; thereās no way any gears game tops the trilogy imo. itās a huge missed opportunity to only release the first game as a first impression to a new audience in 2025.
@BAMozzy the ai teammates are so frustrating in these games, try gears of war 3 final boss on insane, it was obviously made for 4 human players because trying to beat queen myrah solo is ******* impossible with how useless the bots are.
completed it a bunch of times back when it released on the xbox one, i loved helping people in co-op on insane difficulty.
I beat the original again on my xbox360 (for old times sake) i think last year?? i love the original look of the game , the drab & moody grays and browns with muted colors really fits the game.
@Kaloudz i highly suggest the first game only. Itās a very unique, spooky, & fun game. i was just like you , it took me over 10+ years to finally try bioshock. i tried 2 right after 1 and immediately didnāt like it.
@101Force and free online! š PC is amazing, you wonāt regret it! itās 99% an Xbox anyway with everything you have on console present on PC via Xbox app/Windows. Plus, pc controller support is great, i never use keyboard and mouse to play games on it. Itās hard going back to console when almost every game releases on PC and with better performance and all of the benefits of PC
Rechargeable batteries is the way to go. iāve never had a controller with a built in battery permanently die on me yet. Hell, iāve never had any device with a built in battery permanently die.
As long as 343 is in charge , i seriously doubt a new halo will ever reach the highs of 3 and reach. iām hoping they just port the MCC to playstation. If the rumors are true about a CE remake, theyāll just 343-ify it š¤®
@ValentineMeikin nintendo canāt afford to do what $ony or M$ does by putting their games on other platforms anyway. if nintendo āwinsā a āconsole warā then itāll be short lived as PC will see the biggest growth itās ever seen because i canāt imagine an industry with only nintendo as a āāmainā console 𤮠that would be horrible.
@RagnarLothbrok PC is pretty future proof and appealing these days, you wont regret it. especially since Xbox is already integrated into it, so you almost literally still have an xbox (that can also play PS games and emulate some nintendo games š)
oh wait- i misread your comment , you already have one

@WildConcept6 itās actually sick how much of a pass nintendo gets. if you dare see them as any other corporation (sony/ms) and have no bias for them, and worst of all, criticize - then youāre looked at as a bad person and troll
@DarthAmmii i couldnāt agree more. we need xbox360 era like games back again. single player with CLASSIC (online) multiplayer or co-op/ or single player only. live service ruins both single player and multiplayer games š everyoneās just chasing the next fortnite shooter with microtransactions and GARBAGE ābattle passā and seasonal skins , itās so garbage now.
go back to making creative games with lore and add multiplayer if it fits the game with no live service & season bs or battle pass garbage
Favorite halo memory is experiencing halo CE for the first time since it was the last bungie halo i played (H3 being the first); i really liked the campaign and late 90s silliness the game had despite being an early 2000s game. all the weapons weāre ridiculously powerful, the enemy ai is amazing, the levels are super atmospheric and the game still has the best introduction of the flood to date. reach is my overall favorite halo though - content and all, except i thought the campaign was underwhelming but still better than H3 campaign.
With that said though, iām getting jaded seeing all the halo nostalgia on social media lately, itās becoming more depressing and longing for the past more than reminiscing or homage. the climate of xbox & halo today doesnāt help that depressing feeling either; i wish we had new exciting good things today that we can make for fond nostalgic memories tomorrow. tired of the bleak present
