Today’s game is Halo Infinite. Me and my friend continued our Legendary playthrough and did another mission with it (and also cleared a few more FOB). The screenshot above was taken at the top of a mountain where we got an achievement. The games views are gorgeous and give me big BoTW vibes.
During the mission we had this boss fight with a Brute with a hammer, and it was unusually difficult. This game has a lot of good things going for it, but one complaint i have is that the boss fights feel off. Like with Halo 2 the boss fights felt rewarding to do, but in this one it just feels like every other shooter where you break the enemies shield, and then shoot them some more. I don’t really know how to explain it but it feels more tedious than fun.
The last complaint i have is that the Legendary mode feels weirdly unbalanced. Like with older games Legendary is a constant challenge, but this one the common enemies are easy but then the game will rarely through a boss that is ungodly hard or even a pair of enemies that take forever or really precise strategies. I guess my complaint is i would rather for a constant challenge than it randomly spiking.
An example is the fight in the picture above (it was so difficult i took a victory photo). From what i’ve heard from my friend this fight is hard on normal too, but i can’t confirm that. The entire fight took us like an hour because whenever we even peaked out to look for him they’d demolish us with their guns that explode. Imagine like a rocket launcher that fired really fucking fast would arc too find you. So there’s like no hiding from it. We eventually persisted though after i trapped one of the two brutes in a crack and killed him and then i slowly whittled away at the other one with a sentinel beam and AR.
I don’t get how people do this. I obsessively play a single game until I exhaust everything possible to do in that game. Only then I move on to the next game. In 243 days I would probably have screenshots of 2 games total.
Part of it just that I like taking screenshots of my games. I’ll take a picture of anything I see that’s slightly interesting in games. So much so that I used to have a whole extra storage drive for all of them until I trimmed them down and limited myself lol
It’s not about the screenshots, I’m just amazed with how you’re playing a different game every day. I can’t put down a game until I 100% it.
Oh, I get what you’re saying. I try to 100% things, or at the very least beat the story. But some times I’ll get burnt out easily or just won’t have the time for that specific game. Usually I try to balance a single player game and then multiplayer game with friends I’ll shuffle through whenever.
Right now my single player is Far Cry 3, and then my multiplayer rn is mostly Halo Infinite with my friend, though occasionally I’ll drag my PS3 over to my friend’s house for Splitscreen Minecraft (like today), so that could be included under multiplayer too.
Infinite is no perfect game, but to me it felt like a great foundation for a game. I liked the open world aspect a lot, but it needed at least double the content in my opinion.
Definitely. For a base, it’s amazing. It needs some balancing imo, and like you said, some more content. My friend I play with was commenting that he wishes there were more biomes, which is definitely something I agree with. The generic “grassy hills” thing definitely gets boring to look at after a bit.
Yeah, that would have been great to have a tundra and jungle biome. Spawning patrol groups would have been cool, and having to defend FOBs periodically from attack or risk losing them. Ah, what could have been.
I remember at least liking it a fair bit because it played a lot like Halo 1. I was a huge fan of the original and never cared as much for the sequels. I remember all of my friends got really into ODST, and I hated the direction it had taken the gameplay. So when Reach came out and felt comfortable in my hands again, I was stoked.
It makes me giddy to see you still going strong with this ✊😁 Hope you are doing well!
