Regret was... annoying. The end was particularly difficult, as I didnt realize only punches were doing damage. Cortana didnt say anything until quite a few runs in, and even then I missed it. There was a bit with some Banshees and flying Elites that was annoying as well.

Code Geass spoilers

For instance, if I told you to kill all Japanese...

Technically I didnt stop watching with the intent to drop it, but then I did. Maybe Ill go back one day.

Delta Halo was fine, hardest part was probably the beginning bit, then the open jungle when the flying things came out. Ended up beating the par score on this one as well. I dont have scoring turned on or anything, so I cant keep track.

I got all four out recently. Was pretty much fine, took a bit to stop bleeding. My mouth is still a bit tight, and it feels like theres something in it still, but apparently thats normal, not sure how long until that ends.

For the record, I was put under for like an hour, and I was pretty sharp mentally when I woke up. I couldnt talk for a while, but I could walk and type on my phone pretty soon after.

When I was younger, I was interested in doing YT stuff, but I didnt really have the resources (or personality). Now I probably could get a setup, but I dont really have a niche, so Im not too interested at the moment.

Definitely feel the pacing of the levels in this game is much better. I think theres charm to the slightly more open levels in CE, but it was hard to appreciate them as much on Heroic. I feel the more brisk pace of 2 works better for this difficulty.

The clone boss fight in The Oracle was pretty annoying, they kept ripping through me. Feels like it would be an insane pain on Legendary.

Edit: I thought you said five lol. I did it in order though, so Chun first.

Arbiter was a bit annoying, mostly the earlier section in the middle of the huge room when I found it hard to tell who was on my side, and thus who was shooting at me. Interesting that it was more of a sneaking missing, or at least things were easier when I did it that way. Ive noticed these levels are going a lot more smoothly into than next one, as opposed to CE.

Did not like the three wraiths + enemy ship part. I had a rocket launcher with only two rockets, so it was a tedious process. Then I tried to overcomplicate the scarab part by bringing the Ghost. That kept getting me killed, so I just did it the right way.

Apparently for the first time in any level so far, I beat the par score, on Metropolis.

Outskirts was alright. Felt like I had more opportunity to mess with new mechanics a bit. Beam Rifle is cool, swapping guns with NPCs. Noticed I could either drive or let the NPCs drive, though I ended up taking a Ghost.

why did he come back just to do this

First chapter of Halo 2 was much harder than the first in CE >_>

Beat the game. Overall, Id say its pretty good, and I can see why some people Ive seen wouldve been really into it when they were younger. Ive seen some people who talk about it like they used to be obsessed. I felt a little bad when posting in this topic, my descriptions were often pretty sparse, I think because I dont have any reference for comparison, due to my previously mentioned lack of FPS experience. Whether it felt good or bad was a bit hard to say. Never really felt like I didnt hit what I was aiming at, if that means anything.

Storywise, it felt a bit sparse, but still managed to have some good things. The Flood reveal was pretty nice, though I did know about them before. If theres any disappointment, its that like half of the story seems to be locked behind terminals that you just might not find, or even think are interactable. I believe I only found 2, one in level 2, and one in the last level. Im not exactly possessed to go through all the levels again, even on Easy. Should I just look them up on YouTube?

Speaking of Easy mode, I did stick with Heroic the whole time. I can see why people said I probably should have just played Normal. Id agree that it wouldve been the smarter play. Even if we dont include lack of FPS experience, the somewhat confusing level progression at times would have felt less aggravating if it werent so punishing. However, despite this, Ill probably be playing Halo 2 on Heroic as well. Stubbornness, I suppose. After 2, the order is 3 -> ODST -> Reach -> 4, right?

Halo: CE

Keyes was nice and short. Took me a while to realize I had to jump into the green, the way Cortana was speaking at first made me dubious.

Two Betrayals felt super long as well, and I didnt have any divided attention.

The Library wasnt too bad. I had heard there were a good amount of infinite waves, but there were a lot less than I expected. It started off bad because I was trying to rush, thinking most of the level would keep spawning enemies. Slowing down made it decidedly easier. The last checkpoint before the end was a bit annoying, the enemies actually did keep spawning, and you were vulnerable running towards the Index. Still havent seen any crucible since the one in level 2. Only found one skull through chance.

I feel like theres a pretty good chance that knocking those people out would kill them.

343 Guilty Spark was pretty easy, probably the easiest since the first level. Once again, main issue for me was getting lost, both entering and leaving. The shotgun felt nice, killing the Flood in one shot when so many other things take a million shots was gratifying.

Next level is the Library, Ive heard bad things about this one.

Goes between very slow and not loading at all.

So far its pretty much only the Warthog Ive had issue with, just super slippery.

Assault on the Control Room felt super long, though there were other factors that made it go even longer for me. It felt nice to use the Scorpion. Its pretty enjoyable to try and force vehicles inside.

Silent Cartographer was much less frustrating, though I still died a good bit. Mostly just got lost.

The collectibles are mostly a secret challenge thing, just the a single skull in most levels. Not at all required for "100%" or anything.

Yeah I looked it up, skulls are unlocked, but you can collect them anyway. Ive missed 2/3 of the crucibles so far though.

And I see why it was mentioned Truth and Reconciliation was the clincher, pretty rough.

If you have beaten Truth and Reconciliation on Heroic, the 3rd mission where you board the Covenant ship, then you should be fine w/ the rest of the game.

Guess we'll see, I was taking a break, but'll probably get back into it soon.

Half the fun of the warthog is talking shit to your friends when they flip the thing in co-op.

More than flip, I just kept feeling like I was hitting walls over and over.

My issue is that it feels when trying to turn forward, I have to move the camera, but reverse turns work fine with the stick.

I would do Normal if you are in it more for the story than a challenge. Heroic is fairly hard on a first time play through especially if you aren't a Halo regular.

Unless there's a massive difficulty spike, I think I'll try sticking with Heroic for now. I'm not having a ton of trouble aiming or anything, and the regenerating shield makes it easy to disengage most of the time.

I remember a few years ago I thought she was already dead, and then I learned otherwise. Sad to see now she's really gone.

Not much of (or at all) an FPS guy, but I've always wanted to play it, and I've seen some people play it before. I know there's some collectibles, but based on the first two levels, I feel like it'd be a pain to try and find them. I'm on Heroic, which I read is pretty much the intended difficulty by the devs. I was considering going Normal, cause again, I'm not an FPS guy, but it doesn't seem to bad at the moment.

I've mostly died just from running into a grenade, or other dumb things, rather than by being overwhelmed. Side note, I hate how the Warthog controls.

Atrocious amount of ad time aside I enjoyed this year's Evo. It's great to see again.

Its a bit frustrating cause I honestly feel like they could fit in 5 games on Sunday if the ad time wasnt so bad. Then again, its already 3 AM EST and Strive isnt over, so maybe Im off there.

For bigger and active chats, people like seeing other people be hype. Smaller chats can actually be used for discussion

I'd probably move, but that's about it off the top of my head.

Ugh I feel like I've been irritating it too much. But to check, I'd have to irritate it more. I'll keep a watch out somehow, and see if there's any chance I need to go somewhere for it. It doesn't hurt particularly, but it feels like there's something extra in my mouth, which I'm of course am worried is related to dry socket, or something.

Bleeding is better, but now my jaw feels tight, but I can't adjust it.

Hope you have fun, it wasnt my fav DQ game, but tons of people have spoken highly about it, and I did only play the base game.

Im kind of annoyed I bought Kart on the Wii U. I didnt like the game too much, but that mightve been because of how it wasnt as mobile as Id hoped. Dont feel great about buying it again for the Switch.

This bleeding is a bit tedious

You aren't sedated enough, it would seem

Perhaps not. I can do pretty much everything but talk and put food/drink in my mouth, cause of the blood.

Not sure tbh

*Affects

I know Im a bit out of it, but I believe effects is correct as-is.

Wisdom teeth thing, hard to talk, but my mind seems mostly sharp, I was afraid itd be worse in terms of my mind, if you get what I mean.

Thanks for tagging me. Drawn a bit, nothing I have any interest in sharing, at least not off the top of my head. Chances are I wont be contributing for a bit, got some stuff going on soon.

I didnt think too much about the order. You could probably replace a few of those with Itachi or Jiraiya, and I wouldnt feel much differently. Shikamaru is probably a lock though.

Im imagining us being forced to worked 14 hour days 5 days a week.

I feel like I used to go Vaporeon, but I never really used Eevee.

No, I want to be alive.

I really liked the show as a kid, I kinda wanted to be on it (though even if it had been renewed, I dont think it wouldve come close to happening).

Never taken a real IQ test. When I was young I took some online ones, they didnt seem particularly valid but Im not sure how an actual test is performed.
