Shit, I'm going to have to buy a new gaming PC. I replayed Halo recently on my OG Xbox and was amazed at how well it held up after 25 years. #gamestr

The Xbox version was superior. Lots of stuff was not as good in the PC version, missing shaders and worse lighting, etc. Halo 1 & 2 run really well on xemu, there is even an Xbox Live replacement for Halo 2 MP. I've taken advantage 😂
That's the voice of Cortana, the Pillar of Autumn's AI in Halo, yes. It sounds exactly like the original game 😂
Video Games have reached the point where remakes are more interesting than original stuff. It's like Hollywood circa 2005 😂
Right? It's hard to understand today how amazing that game was when it came out. My Xbox was a Halo machine for a year and a half straight. The story twist in the library. Playing it again a few months back was so good, I hope they don't fuck this up 😂

“Master Chief” will now be a non-binary female and pink armor instead of green
This. I lived with roommates in a big house at the time, and had a side business modding OG Xbox. Our house had 4 Xbox on the lan for gaming, many hours were put into MP 🎮
Been jonesing for gaming lately for some reason. Kinda wanna get a console just to mess with in living room. Never played much halo, just 1v1 at friends, always using the claw lol
One of my roommates from that era is like that. Pretty much plays sports games only to this day, but put in hundreds of hours of Halo 😂
Does it have halo? Does it have assassins creed? Honestly don't know. And can it hook to tv and perform same as a full blown console? Not just candy crush or whatever you play
Steamdeck is cool, but it's main feature, portability, would go unused. I almost never used my switch handheld, it was always docked.
So happy with the Xbox series s. Super compact. Doesn’t look like a weird spaceship. Plays a lot of the games I like. I’m very casual these days. Not much time for it
But like you said, portable means likely weaker processing or memory, or at least you implied it I think. Still unsure if all games are available
It can play most of the stream library, so thousands of games. There are options in that space now too, lots of PC companies have their own versions of the same idea. It's really just a different shape for gaming laptop hardware. If I do go PC I'd likely look towards running SteamOS to avoid having to use Windows anyways. We'll see how finances look, a new PC would be good for AI stuff 🤔
I'm pretty excited about this one. Its taking some flak online for some of its design choices, but its a remake, not a 1:1 upgrade like the anniversary edition. Yeah, the needler redesign is dumb, but I don't have a problem with sprinting in Halo.
People gotta bitch because drama creates engagement. I'm hopeful it will be great.
