Today's game is Halo Reach. Me and a friend were going to play Halo 2 but for some reason MCC on steam only downloaded Reach, so we played that instead. We found a pair of forklifts and while the NPCs handled the fighting we drove them around and crashed into eachother. You can see the battle above taking place. finally after a while we progressed through the mission.
The whole game gives me kind of skyrim vibes, and also Half Life 2. I think it's the car and the highway like infrastructure remind me of HL2 and the environment reminding me of Skyrim. There's a lot of snow everywhere and there were even some glaciers we drove past.
The game also gave me a great chance to test out my new gaming rig. I am proud to say it handled it at 4k, at max settings at a stable 60 fps. I was going to push for 120 but for some reason i guess my monitor can't do that despite me being 100% sure it could. I even had it hooked up via DP.
The game is really pretty. I really liked this mountain region. It reminded me of Far Cry 4, with all those high up peaks and things you could climb. That game was also really pretty when i played through it.
Overall i really like reach. The powerup system has been fun to play with and it looks really pretty. After Halo 2 i might go back and finish it.
Congrats on the new rig! What kind of hardware do you have?
200 is getting pretty close!
Nothing too fancy, but certainly enough to get me by until i upgrade the GPU. I have a Ryzen 3700x i bought used, 32 GB of DDR4 RAM, a 1 TB NVME SSD and a 250 GB HDD, and a Radeon RX 7600 XT 16 GB. I planned it around having a bit of wiggle room to upgrade. The CPU is probably fine, but the GPU i want to upgrade eventually. Maybe not now, but someday
