I don't remember much of playing Colors but I remember seeing this:



and just groaning at the game's shit

unfathomable to me if you watch the cutscenes of any sonic game unfiltered through LP

I like the idea of separate Acts that are only there for small ring collection and/or platforming puzzles. Unleashed debuted the idea of a "side act" but those were pretty rigid and often just romhacky instead of the treasure troves they could have been to smooth over the mandatory collect...

I liked Colors but didn't love it, something about the game didn't gel with me. I wonder if I might be more positive on a replay + trying to get 100%, maybe I'll get Ultimate on sale at some point. I played the DS one a lot, not enough to get really good at it (or 100% it) but it was a very satisfyi...

Guilty Spark is one of very few good characters in all of Halo because he's capable of evoking a strong emotion. Most including every villain I'm only feeling mild annoyance towards, but that bootlicking pissant I want to actively smash with hammers When I posted this I had forgotten about the boss...

i can rationalize the physical pain as being symbolic nonsense, games are prone to do that sort of thing. for me the way they made her "sexy" is just ridiculous because she's already attractive in halo 1 and 2, but then they made her look kind of super funny??? i dont shame people who kno...

It's so weird that even the freshly-built, about two hours old Halo, completely unfinished on the outside, already has organically-seeming mountains on it, an atmosphere, and enough moisture for a fully snow-covered landscape. I realize they did it as a callback to Assault on the Control room (and s...

There's something morbidly funny about punching your way through the infested remains of an alien city and finding what you're here for, finally reuniting with the AI you left behind, she says "Chief, get me out of this place. I... I don't wanna be here." And you say "Does tomorrow w...

Cortana isn't excessively long, especially compared to the previous one (The Covenant) which has beach, road to tower, tower (in, up, down, out), back to beach, flying segment, second tower (whole rigamarole), mixed vehicle segment, and finally the ring corridor forth and back again. But that's vari...

Rings There's a few things about this room that aren't really obvious. https://i.imgur.com/fTknDFJ.png First of all, note how there's 7 rings (you can see them all in this shot), and the fourth is the only one with some red lights on it? Well, I think it has come up before: the Halo in Halo 1 (that...

The introduction of the Hornets... used to have tutorial text. I SWEAR it used to tell you how to pilot the thing. And that it has a secondary weapon you can use the same way you dual wield weapons. Would've been Real handy if it told you that. Thanks MCC. Hey at least he knows how to punch a guy

sorry for reminding you of this thing (wrong halo interpretation) simon in retrospect it was really funny. I still don't know how I arrived at that utterly wrong conclusion?! This is my white male boomer moment. Read something on a website somewhere, misremembered it, changed his entire worldview t...

So, I wanted to talk some more about Collectibles. First, something I haven't mentioned yet, Halo 3 has 7 Terminals to find. raocow has only missed two so far, because they start appearing on the Ark. He almost saw one today: https://i.imgur.com/3cLW9tf.png If he had walked up to this thing, it woul...

Some credit: they probably went "ah damn we

killed off Keyes

in Halo 1, that character would have ruled to put into 2 and beyond" and decided to simply

replace him with his daughter

instead of making up Some Dude so that's some female presence at least I guess

Holy hell, no, raocow, this post that you read? This is ludicrously incorrect LMAO You WERE paying attention to the game, this dork misled you with the most insane shitpost imagineable . It was not a shitpost, I was just very wrong lol I've copped to that on YT and in the Discord already but I figu...

I want to take a moment and talk about collectibles in Halo. This might sound weird because we haven't actually seen any, and from the general design sensibilities of modern shooters, you'd expect something like audiologs to lie around everywhere explaining backstory. A little older (e.g. Resident E...
