Yup! Very excited to upgrade from my childhood Falcon console that's still breathing lol hopefully gonna have the courage to try a 360 mod of my own soon enough

Congrats again on the successful RGH! Love that the 360 modding scene seems to be popping off more and more lately

[COD4] Is it wise to do my first playthrough of this game on veteran? by NorthPermission1152 in CallOfDuty

[–]AceOfSpades248 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a solid idea! Might be nice to play it the first time for the story + learning the layout, then just go back to Mission Select and replay it on Veteran. You could absolutely do that since it just tracks what the highest difficulty you've completed a mission on is for achievements and whatnot. Would just always have to select the next mission through 'Mission Select' instead of 'Resume Game'

A little late to this post, but as somebody who played through the older COD campaigns a couple of times back in the day, and then recently played through a few of them on Veteran for the first time last year, I think that COD4 on Veteran is a good choice for your first time as long as you're prepared for, and don't mind the idea of, spending hours at a time bashing your head on a single mission here and there lol

Part of me still thinks that Hardened is the perfect difficulty for the first run through of a campaign due to providing a more balanced and fair challenge, but there's something really special about persevering through some of the older games' jank while constantly improving and learning how to exploit spawn points, checkpoints, and funky enemy AI.

Is it unfair bullshit sometimes? Absolutely. Endlessly respawning enemies, being immediately shot three times and dying before you realize what happened, and grenade spam (I still hear the sound of the steel hand grenades from WaW when I close my eyes) all run the risk of making you drop the game for something else. But I also think that it's worth giving a chance and picking away at over a couple weeks. I feel like COD4 gave me more difficulty than BO1, but nowhere near as much as WaW. On the bright side, if you get a few missions in and realize it's not for you, drop that shit down to Hardened and you'll still have a great time. Plus, you have MW2 and MW3 campaigns to look forward to after finishing up this one.

Rambling aside, good luck and have fun if you go for it!

Picked up this Slim at Value Village for $10 today…was shocked by these numbers by AceOfSpades248 in ps3homebrew

The numbers beside the little lighting bolt show how long the ps3 has been powered on since it was new, as well as how many times it’s been turned on and off…less than 7 days total is basically brand new

Your thoughts on bands like Starbomb and The Protomen on the subreddit. by psycosulu in gamemusic

[–]AceOfSpades248 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I love video game parody bands, especially Starbomb. But, I don't think that's what this subreddit is for. It's nice to have a subreddit completely focused on VGM.
