Halo 3 is a lot more fun when the game's not on legendary or whatever the third difficulty level is. It's fun when you can dance around enemies, or, kinda dance with how stodgy movement is. It's not fun when all enemy damage is so high and your damage is so low that you'll die if you try to play with any kind of gusto.
Fully agreed.

Regarding games where you play as fire fighters, I remember playing an old Japanese SNES rom back in the day that was EXCELLENT!
Fire spread dynamically through the levels, you had to choose your equipment (and you couldn't carry much) and you choose your own path through the levels.
But finally, I found it!
It was called "Ignition Factor" and it was every bit as glorious and challenging as I remembered! 😀
If people have the Nintendo Online thingy on Switch "The Ignition Factor" is in the SNES Collection, i played it a few weeks ago.

You shouldn't have bough the scummy Nacom version, it was a pure cash grab from them with lack of Steam features and removign the Frogwares logo.
i know ... but i had to have it ... i'm sorry :negative-blob:

You didn't have to, but you choice to give money to scum.

I usually don't care about what people use their money on, but they way Nacon put up that Sinking City version was pure scummery capitalism shit.

Jesus, calm down my dude.
Sorry, I just hate what Nacon did to Frogwares and that Steam version. Seriously, noone should have bought that version and I got really sad seeing people playing it on the Steam chart.

I refuse to buy it until the court clears everything out.

Because I own the package "Roguebook for Beta Testing", I can play the full game after some depot shenanigans. Nice!

The weird thing about it is that I have to do these shenanigans. I don't know how Valve and Roguebook devs managed to reach the point where files not listed on SteamDB appear in my local depot, which ultimately crashes the game.

I like legendary mode in Halo 3, but yea, it pretty much makes a bunch of the weapons useless too. Plasma pistol almost always a necessity

I'm curious as to why. I've seen that opinion in that Dunkey video about game difficulty, but I don't see what's so good about the plasma pistol.

Question for Etrian Odyssey fans here, if I could only play one or two - which ones? :blobnerd:

The covenant shields on Elites are bullet sponges for physical guns on Legendary. Like a more than full battle rifle clip, or tons of assault rifles rounds to remove them. A fully charged plasma pistol removes them in one shot - even not fully charged only takes a few shots too - and then one battle rifle shot to the head kills them. Ammo becomes pretty important on legendary too, getting stuck with shitty weapons can be miserable, so you never want to needlessly waste ammo.

We don't even know the full story behind all of that cluster fuck so jumping at a throat like that is really pointless. As you also said, before jumping out on hasty conclusion we all should wait for the court. Until then there are no innocent and no guilty in this dispute.

Ah... Alright, that's fair.
I do feel that stuff like this, where the higher difficulties bring out imbalances in the game's design rather than make everything come together in a fun way, in a pretty damning indictment of Halo's design as a single player FPS.

I’ll gladly day 1 that Castlevania collection if it comes out. The prices of the GBA/DS games have skyrocketed on the secondary market(well anything remotely good and or/rare)
