Current Objective: Survive.
What was the record for that mission? 8 hours?
I can see the crack in my visor just reading that
I bought a brand new at the time 60" Plasma TV just so we could co-op Reach. It was amazing. A couple of years ago we did it again but using the magic of the MCC and internet. Good times.
This headline could only be written by someone who never heard of Metal Gear Solid 3.
Let’s not pretend that MGS lore is more than a barely comprehensible fever dream. It’s good, for sure, and insanely pretty for a 2004 ps2 release, but try explaining it to someone and see how far you get.
MGS1 isn’t TOO crazy.
In true kojima fashion it gets weirder the deeper you go
I wish MCC would stop locking me out so I can play again.
Idk what error you’re getting but try changing dns. When using some dns providers or private dns it borks the connection to Microsoft servers.
Unpopular opinion buy I found Halo, in general, to be very mid at best.
Halo revolutionized the FPS genre on consoles. While some aspects are definitely mid there’s a reason why it’s held so highly for many.
IMO only Reach to 3.
Didnt have 4 much in memory (meaning it wasnt impactful to me) and 5 is also non-existant.
Infinite was meh though I like Cortanas replacement. She has good humor.
I feel like “mid” is pretty generous in my opinion. One of the most over rated series to exist just behind Elder Scrolls trash games.
Why would you downvote this person? This is the bravest comment on Lemmy.
I take it you were not a console gamer when it came out?
Correct. PC gamer. It’s probably why it was very mid for me as a FPS.
Really it did a few major things for fps
- regenerating health, allowing for a smoother difficulty curve and easier time balancing for devs
- online multiplayer
- A-B tested a bunch of controls for console shooter control schemes going forward
Until halo right-stick to turn, ads to aim on screen was a common control mechanism.
As soon as it released regenerating health, the control scheme and online multiplayer became a must-have for AAA fps. For PC it’s basically just regenerating health, which was has proved to be a mixed blessing.
