Last night on my Twitch channel, I FINALLY FINISHED the OG Halo game.
When I do retro streams, I like to play the original…how it was made. Yea, I could play the remaster of the game with updated controls, but I want to simulate the experience that a lot of us had back in 2001 with the original Halo. Let me tell ya…after playing hours upon hours of this original Halo from the original Xbox…
It’s a frustrating game with all sorts of filler and dry landscapes.
Before you stick me with a hand grenade, hear me out….like….have you played the original Xbox Halo game recently? No, the Anniversary Master Chief Collection doesn’t count…I am talking the original release, back in 2001, polygon graphics and all! It’s really something….yea the music is great, the story is cool, but my god was it annoying as all hell to play. I hear complaints plenty of time about games with filler, but at least with today’s filler…there is a unique environments to explore! Here? They recycle the SAME FREAKIN’ LAYOUTS, stick more enemies in it and cover it as progression….and don’t get me started on how the Warthog controls….for gods sake…ughhhh.
In 2001? This was quite the game to play, and the multiplayer is still fun…but the main campaign? Oy.
Just do yourself a favor and play the Master Chief Collection, or the Anniversary Collection on 360.
Watch Does this game ever end??? !store !encouragement [BP] from NedOnAir on www.twitch.tv
