In the gamer spaces I've been before the launch, everyone have this "siege" mentality where they preemptively assumes that any kind of criticism must have come from "journos" and SJWs who wants to tear down the game for not conforming to an "agenda". Like the whole epilepsy thing where capital Gs lost their shit to a benign advisory.
Browsing the cyberpunk sub is a treat. still going to pirate it tho
HO was amazing in its prime. Now its just the same three infection maps.
I love Halo 3 but everyone I play with bitches about hit detection and wants to play the newer games but I can't get the hang of it. I can hold my own in H1-3 but once the feel changes, I'm lost. H3 was peak for me which is why I loved HO, it played almost exactly like H3 but with slightly better graphics.
Yeah Halo 3 was the big one when I was in college so I definitely logged the most hours and had the most fun with it. I didn't realize hot detection was an issue on MCC but upon googling it people seem pretty mad haha. I'm not really sharp enough to notice it these days.
I got pretty good at Reach, 4, and 5 when each was released. Good by my standards anyway, seasoned Halo players would laugh at that. I put some time in during quarantine. Since MCC on PC got some updates and cross play there have been some pretty good matches. My loser friends insist on 5 though. I maintain that if they played a few matches of 3 they'd get used to it again. Oh well.
