I wasn’t very patient with that one at the time, somehow managed to get it running on my PC though and had my mind blown. Such a good game, basically everything is fantastic apart from that library level.

Incredible, I’m sure. Especially for people who weren’t playing on PC before - it generally stands up to Half-Life in a lot of ways, including the enemy movement and maybe even AI, but the cutscenes have that more traditional cinematic look. I love the constant immersion of Half-Life, but this feels like watching an awesome sci-fi action movie, like Aliens. There’s enough survival horror and cosmic horror vibes as well to keep you going.
Halo: Combat Evolved. I get what all the hype was about. This is a good game!
I experienced the whole original trilogy last year with a friend on coop. I get it now. Why so many people love Halo.
Btw, Halo 2 and 3 are much better than the first one. If you already liked that, you’re in for a treat.
You are sage like patient.

Can you even imagine how good that felt on an original Xbox?
