That daily game progress thread...

[Jaillum Malord]

Just finished Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019). I actually enjoyed the single player more than I thought I would. Nice bonus for a game I got free with my old 1070ti.

[KAC]

Finished Ratchet and Clank. 9/10.

[Mangler]

Finished dusk.

I guess it was ok, had some cool levels near the end, but I'm not as big of a fan of the game as the rest of the "boomer shooter" crowd.

[Mangler]

Finished Halo Reach.

Best Halo.

[Mangler]

I decided to resume my Halo playthrough that started on the xb1, for some reason I dropped it at some level called "The library", I wonder why?

[Lazy8s]

Still trying to plat. Returnal …. And spending time trying to avenge other players, with mixed results lol.

[Mangler]

Finished Halo, **** the flood, and **** the checkpoints.

[KAC]

Halo Reach is indeed the best Halo.

[Jaillum Malord]

Still playing Metro Exodus and I feel bad for paying £3.99 for it. Really enjoying the game, so much so that it has redefined how I feel about stealth games. I found myself either avoiding people or knocking them out rather than straight out murdering them.....mutants and creatures on the other hand, I burned with fire.

Game is very absorbing

Also trying Ashen, Crysis Remastered, Blasphemous and Borderlands 3.

Started playing Halo 2, my first impressions are not positive, the mechanics might be better than halo 1, but the encounter design so far is kind of bad, worst halo?

It was the worst for me, but for perspective there was a good bit I had fun with as well.

Halo 2's single player development was a mess. It's a minor miracle it came out the way it did. The multiplayer is what made Halo 2 legendary for Xbox players.

[Mangler]

Finished Halo 2.

[Silent-Runner]

played a lot of It takes two with my wife, we both love it. We totally laughed our @ss off. Great game.

Played/finished one run of Detroit: Become Human over the weekend.

Looks fantastic, good story, and I can see how the plot can play out other ways if you do some other things. For example, I deliberately let the girls get away. How would things have changed if I didn't? Looking forward to finding out if I revisit it in a month.

It has some decent choices. Your ending can be quite different depending on the path. The one where I really thought they delivered a lot more meaningfully different outcomes was Heavy Rain with its 7 endings. At least 3/7 were quite different.

[Jaillum Malord]

Just finished Metro Exodus. Game was exceptionally enjoyable - I may purchase the DLC - but the ending leaves a lot to be desired. I was like "wait, what.....is that it, a fecking quicktime event as a last boss.....really....after all that awesomeness you deny me a chance to murder something....sheeeesh"

[Silent-Runner]

still having a blast with It takes two, lots of screaming and laughing.

[Mangler]

Played some Halo 3, it is a shame that the pc doesn't have HDR support like the xbox version, some levels/scenes would have looked great with it enabled.

[KAC]

Forgot to put it here but finished CODCW SP4 within June.

[Mangler]

Decided to just finish the fight, Halo 3 was ok, only had one level that truly sucked, so it was way better than halo 1 and 2.

[Mangler]

Finished Halo: ODST, it was pretty neat, pretty short, and VERY dark.

[KAC]

You seem to be on a roll. I am thinking about doing all Halos as well.

[Jaillum Malord]

Just finished Borderlands 3. While it was alright I enjoyed Borderlands 1 (played a couple of years after release) more than I did two or three. I am done with the series.

Interesting. What did you enjoy in 1 more than 2? I personally did feel the guns felt better in 1, but almost everything else felt better in 2 for me. (guns themselves though are way better in 3, a lot of the new gun types are just awesome)

[ugly]

Finally beat Heretic.

I think Doom was a little more fun to play. Heretic uses the Doom engine, so it feels pretty close. I think the weapon selection wasn't quite as satisfying and the enemies were more annoying to deal with. I think it was a harder game. One thing it added to the Doom formula was an inventory with items that could give you a power boost. So, while the game was harder as a pure shooter, it was balanced by letting you use powerups.

But, I basically played it like I do with RPGs. Collect everything, but keep saving the items until some later time when I'll really need it. Which always ends up with me having a full inventory and never end up using the items.

Now I've moved to Hexen on my classic FPS binge.

I've also been playing through Ghost 1.0. A decent Metroidvania. The graphics aren't impressive. But the game is fun enough, and it allows for a fairly casual game. Only a few spots in the game are difficult and it's a fairly short game. Although, with so many Metroidvanias out there now, this game doesn't stand out. The game also has a stupid number of achievements, and it seems like I'd have to play through it multiple times to get them all, and I'm not up for that.

[Jaillum Malord]

Just finished Resident Evil 7. I enjoyed the experience of this game though I feel a tiny bit bad for getting it for £3 during a MS store sale.

The demo they released for it put me off way back but I am glad I took the plunge with this one.

Still gonna wait till they sort out that DRM jiggery pokery on Village though. Things like that are the reason I do not buy games on release anymore.

[KAC]

Finished Iron Harvest Rusviet campaign
Punched 2 levels in Halo Reach
Kicked some ass in Terminator Resistance

Good times.

[Mangler]

Finished Halo 4, it was weird game, and really good looking if you take the fact that it is a 360 game into consideration.

Time to break out the xbox one x and play Halo 5.

[Silent-Runner]

played a bit of Inmost, great little game. Like it a lot so far.

[Mangler]

Did three missions in halo 5, 343 seems to like linear levels and long cutscenes.

And jebus, this game needs a xbox series x/pc port, the enemies animate at what feels like 15 fps at distance that isn't that far off.

[Jaillum Malord]

Finished Control dlc: The Foundation. It was alright but I did enjoy the final boss though.

[twonha]

I started playing Northgard, the Viking RTS that looks a little like Age of Mythology. It plays very differently though, with a focus on base management and survivalesque features, rather than building an army. In fact, a handful of units is more than you really need for the first two missions.

It's slower than I thought it'd be, but I've always been interested in the game for its style. Gonna be a time sink, this one!

[ugly]

Finished the Castlevania: Anniversary Collection.

It was fun to revisit some of the old titles. The NES ones in particular for me.

Unfortunately, the two games from the Gameboy weren't very good. The Castlevania Adventure was particularly bad.

The one from the Sega Genesis (Bloodlines) and the one from Super Nintendo (IV) were still fun, but don't manage to capture the same nostalgia for me.

And throwing in Kid Vampire felt cheap, especially since they left off one of the best classic games from the Super Nintendo (Dracula X/Rondo of Blood).

The Steam achievements for this game is simply just beating every game. The two games that have multiple characters require beating it with the different charcters.

Annoyingly, the last achievement is just beating every game. But the achievement is bugged and doesn't always trigger, and doesn't indicate which game didn't count. So I had to beat them all twice just to be a stupid completionist.

[KAC]

Played a couple of levels in Halo 5.
Played Terminator Resistance.

Trying to progress in these games but not really feeling any of them. I think I will push some missions in Mass Effect Remastered.

[xCLAVEx]

Finished Mechwarrior 5. Had a good long campaign, though admittedly there wasn't a whole lot of substance to it as most of it was grinding, but it was a fun grind. The constant trickle of encountering and salvaging new mechs was quite enjoyable. Only down side is you don't get some of the biggest mechs until very near the end so you don't get to enjoy them for long.

Working on Battletech right now, and that one is even more fun.

[Mangler]

Finished Halo 5, not enough warden eternal boss fights.

MCC worth playing?

[KAC]

Finished Terminator Resistance. 8/10.

[KAC]

Finished Iron Harvest. 7.5/10.
