Dear Humanity... We regret being alien bastards. We regret coming to Earth. And we most definitely regret that the Corps just blew up our raggedy-ass fleet!

I like these posts, but I can not even remotely comprehend how you can juggle all the like one dozen games you play at the same time in your brain.

I think part of it is I like to keep “journals” for my characters in lore for some games. So my Skyrim character has one, and so does my Fallout New Vegas, etc. and then another aspect is free time

More power to you, I just can't relate. I can see going between one narrative game and a couple of non-narrative games. Sometimes you just feel like a game of Civ for example or whatnot in-between sessions of say Cyberpunk. But if I'm into one narrative I usually don't feel like switching, and if I find something else I get sucked into I lose track of the previous one and don't feel like going back. Juggling this many story games at once is crazy to me. It's like carrying on 12 different conversations simultaneously. I know people exist that can do it, I just don't understand how.

This is peak Bungie, they really hit their stride with halo 2. A lot of people would argue marathon 2 was peak, but halo 2 was so much fun and really fleshed out the universe in a way that marathon 2 couldn't due to technological limitations.

I used to play Halo 2 all the time, still have my old Xbox and disc, I should dust it off and give it a go.

I’ve never played the franchise besides messing around in multiplayer with my Sister in Halo 3.

A friend and me picked it up on the Steam Sale last December and decided to work our way through Legendary mode despite me having never played a game and him only having played on Normal. It has been an experience to be sure. I still have to go back to CE because I accidentally played with Anti Cheat off and didn’t get the achievements

Man, I think you just made me want to install the MCC and play through this again.

I'm still working on getting all 700 MCC achievements. Halo 2 laso is coming soon and I'm not ready

[–] MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Oh god. MCC is my first Halo game, I thought Legendary would be the difficult one, and then I found out about LASO. I’m struggling so much with legendary. I can’t imagine how LASO is going to go. I need those achievements though. Good luck with your Halo 2 LASO

[–] warm@kbin.earth 4 points 3 months ago

Solo LASO is disgusting, one stray nade and you are back to the start of the mission.

[–] Zahille7@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

I've played Halo ever since I was a little kid; I've never even attempted a LASO run because I know it's gonna be just an absolute buttfuckfest

[–] hydroxycotton@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

About 90 percent of my nostalgia is reserved for Halo. GD I miss those days.

[–] Zahille7@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Delta Halo. One of my favorite levels of Halo 2.

You.... Don't want the tank. I guess... We'll just leave it here for the next ones
