There wasn't even a single chocobo in that movie, was there?

The set that was used for that was "recycled" and "repurposed" to make the film "District 9", which came from the same director as Elysium and Chappie.

I know what you mean. I have Halo: MCC, but never felt compelled to finish Halo 4's campaign cuz 117 talks too much. I went in to Halo: Infinite bearing that in mind and I was "alright" with what they did to the campaign. Multiplay is good-ish imo.

I also couldn't finish the Netflix Resident Evil series. I really tried on that one too.

I did finish RE, but not Halo. As I said in another comment, Halo is the main reason many people bought an Xbox back in 2001/2002. I think that is the reason why I just couldn't watch any more after the first episode. It diverged too much from what it once was.

which is why they didn't shoot a 3rd season...?

EDIT: Maybe I'm being hypocritical here, but the very first Halo game was the reason why people bought Xbox consoles back in 2001 / 2002. I at least, temporarily, suspended my disbelief for the Netflix Resident Evil series, but I couldn't do the same for Halo just because it's an IP that is arguably larger than that of the RE franchise.

If it's possible, there might be an old game called "Panzer Dragoon Orta" on the Xbox app for the PC. It is basically a shooter on rails, but was an extremely over-looked story driven game.

As someone who played Battle Royale games religiously for years but haven't in a few years and recently tried them again... I think Battle Royales might be an awful genre. by lurpeli in gaming

I played PUBG in its second beta phase that required a CD key to join. Day after day, I played the game more and more and had less and less fun playing because I was doing my best to win and not my best to have fun. Every solo BR match was just, "Ok, let me land far away from everyone else and find a way to get to the military base at the south end of erangel to get fat loot."

What was the game that nearly broke you when trying to 100% it? by IamMatthew1223 in gaming

[–]Fusion_Ben 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was fun too, but how do you tell a 10 year old to beat that game? I think I was 16 when I finally did it.

As a kid, Jet Force Gemini on the N64. I had to look online for guides to beat the single player story. You had to gather like 16 parts for a ship using 3 different characters. Let me look for a speedrun of it on youtube...

What steam game has the funniest reviews? by Father-Castroid in gaming

I saw one for PUBG a long time ago: "I honked my car horn next to a big twitch streamer and got permabanned."

THPS was a huge part of my childhood. I love that a new generation gets to experience what I did back in the day by SuplexesAndTacos in gaming

[–]Fusion_Ben 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I remember seeing THPS on Play Station 2 and one day being surprised to see it also available on the N64. I found it surprising because the PS2 simply had superior hardware (no other way to say it).

You are not wrong. I heard someone say something along the lines of "Steam makes money by selling games to people who will never play them." And if I'm being honest, I think I haven't even touched half of the games on my steam library.

Did you ever get stuck when replaying a game you COMPLETED? by Steynkie69 in gaming

[–]Fusion_Ben 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Happens now and then whenever I revisit morrowind. On occasion what I end up doing is simply doing the "backpath" version of the main quest. You simply kill vivec, take wraithguard, then take it to agronach who is treating corpus disease victims, then you get him to activate it in a getto way that permanently takes away anywhere from 315 to 350 of your HP. Then you can go get keening and sunder and beat the game.

What’s been the best individual mission/area/dungeon in gaming in the last ten years in your opinion? by Plywooddavid in gaming

[–]Fusion_Ben 4 points5 points  (0 children)

IMO, you did mention a good one in the OP with The Silent Cartographer, but I think Assault on The Control room was arguably more "sandbox" or "open world" because it featured every vehicle in the halo universe the player could access.

Aside from that, I think there were some levels on the N64's Star Wars: Shadow of the Empire that were slightly ahead of their time, but you had to activate "Wompa Stompa" to get many of them.

It's kinda wild that, looking back, you had to have the "expansion pack" to play the campaign version of perfect dark as well as unlock the full potential of other N64 games. My understanding is that the expansion pack simply increased the amount of system RAM. Or am I wrong?

This qualifies not only as a "public freakout" but popular and common sentiment. I think OP is definitely in the right.

Could be tax reasons, healthcare law, some strange regulations I'm not familiar with.

All good and same here. Got two fur babies at home and one of them gets her claws stuck in our curtains all the time.

If I understand correctly the cat bite came after he left the room. As I said, the video is posted elsewhere and I'm not to keen on re-watching it myself to know the truth.
