This man really listens to his community and I am LOVING it!
I hope you enjoy it fella, I know I did and you can tell by the amount I'm swearing... The real me comes out on display here.
@@kaizammit it’s super cool seeing the cutscenes actually getting you to play it!
@@kaizammityou should try red dead redemption 2
The game is absolutely beautiful
32:40 The most British soldier in all of the Halo universe.
"Yew _ckn arseole." *double tap with pistol* " 'ave it." -Staff Sergeant Zammit
I maintain this is how UK based ODST's would sound. And the c words would be casually tossed around and certainly unbleeped, lol.
Cunts or twat would br the normal word
I'm so glad you picked up on the superintendent changing signs to direct you. The amount of people i've seen play through the whole game and never notice, then complain about getting lost. I hope you do continuing playing.
I think it's super cool that you explain the cinematics while at the same time playing the game. It's something unique and fresh.
I'm going to apologise in advance, the more I get into the game, the less it happens purely because I'm so into the fun. I'll try harder next time! I hope you enjoy the video still.
@@kaizammit hey its alright
@@kaizammitain't nothing easier to get sucked into than a good halo game
Love it! it's great to see someone with a genuine love for the franchise play ODST! I would watch more lets plays, halo or not! 59:50 "oh im dead, im brown bread" lmao
Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy the video and that I'm entertaining enough for it to be a good watch. I really appreciate it.
Sadie's Story is part of an audio log subplot that ties directly to the main story & mirrors the theme of ODST. It's based on "Donte's Inferno". There's tons of good videos breaking it down on RUclips
I went looking for this comment to see if anyone had written this. Thank you
The engineer you encountered at 43:00 being strapped with a bomb can be saved. However, saving it doesn't do anything. It simply floats around the area harmlessly.
The audio log about Sadie you encountered at 44:45 is one of 30 audio logs that tell a story about Sadie and Vergil (the engineer that is in control of the city's AI network). I don't remember the entire story but finding all 30 of them does slightly change the penultimate mission, Data Hive. If you remember the policeman near from your reaction video, when Rookie is going underground to find Dare, he encounters a police officer who dies. The audio logs are somehow tied to him and he has different dialogue, a different ending, and you're allowed into a secret room.
At 48:30; when you punch the guy in the back expecting an animation, you are referring to the assassinations that were added in Halo: Reach.
1:01:25 - When a battery powered weapon such as a Spartan Laser runs out of charge, it is impossible to replace the batteries. I'm sure there's a complicated lore reason as to why but I just like to imagine that nobody is trained to replace a couple of double A batteries.
1:14:46 - This is in reference to the audio logs I mentioned above, whether you kill the engineers or not isn't relevant.
1:15:45 - All the glowing symbols on the pillars that can also be seen throughout the rest of the game, allegedly, have some sort of undiscovered secret meaning. There were a couple of videos on the matter by youtube channel Rocket Sloth. But the final verdict (to my knowledge at least) is that none of the devs who know what they are about are willing to tell anybody. Discounting the possibility that they never meant anything and we were simply told that they do.
Damn fella! Thank you for watching and giving me all that information. I hope you enjoyed the video!?
@@kaizammit 1:40:55 - Halo 3: ODST was criticized for its length and its price. On release it was highly disliked with people saying it should have been a DLC, not a full game. I disagree with this sentiment, but I understand it. Today, the hate is pretty much gone and people have accepted it as a Halo game to love like the rest.
1:42:02 - I made it to the end of the video. I can assure you, I wouldn't have gotten here if I didn't enjoy it.
Halo 3: ODST is one of my favorite Halo games narratively. I played it multiple times and each time felt like there was something new I had discovered in the game. Until the point I had played the game so much I knew almost everything there was to know about it. It's one of those games I wish I could delete my memory of so I could experience it again. The best I have at this point is watching other people experience it for their first time.
@@benetnasch2096In the developer commentary they say ODST was planned to be a DLC for Halo 3, but Microsoft forced it to be sold and marketed as a full game
@@BudgiePanic Good to know. That does sound like some nonsense Microsoft would pull. I still think ODST was worthy of being called a full blown game. Maybe not a $60 one, but I think $40 would've been fine.
Regarding the engineer, back in the Xbox 360 days there was a reward for playing through the entire campaign without killing any engineers (or their “pods”, in the Kikowani Station level).
The reward was an achievement and a full ODST outfit for your avatar, which I believe was only unlockable through the achievement.
So saving the engineer definitely doesn’t do anything NOW, but saving them did have a small benefit back in the release days of old.
Absolutely love your reactions, subbed for your professional understanding of film and its concepts, and now we get ODST gameplay. Todays a good day
I'll apologies in advance fella, there isn't a load of breakdown information in this video, I was having to much fun and trying not to die! haha. I hope you enjoy the video still... let me know.
@@kaizammit I appreciate your analytical breakdowns of course, but watching your actual reactions and gameplay is just as fun too! Loved the video. If you’re able to find more time for similar content, I’d highly recommend you try out Reach, it’s a very immersive game, with very somber tones.
Um yes. I would absolutely love more of this. I don't know how you'd do more of these types of videos, but yes.
You haven't watched it all yet! Maybe after that you could say yes or no haha. I think I would cover more of this game until I complete it maybe or other games if you think it could be fun. Not going to lie, twas a little nervous recording this one until the fun kicked in. I know filming but new to playing in front of people.
@@kaizammit Watched it all. Yes.
37:07 the city AI tries to tell Buck that Dare has gone below ground, but he doesn't realize it's a hint
14+ years later and this is the first time this has been pointed out to me. Why i love this.
I always thought the AI meant she is just a level below him, in the courtyard, thanks for the information
I'm so happy you decided to play this game. Its one of my favorite FPS campaigns of all time, between the immediately distinctive sound track to the moody ambience it is a nearly unique experience and I hope you enjoy it.
You can check out the whole audio logs ! It's a subplot and it even unlocks 2 different events from the regular run later on in the game ! Have a good one :)
Nice! Thank you for letting me know.
@@kaizammitI second this, you should check out the full audio log story, it even has cutscenes, allowing you to speak to the cutscene filmcraft
When you dropped the C bomb i lost my shit lmfao
I love you and this channel even more now.
Everything is completely natural with you and its refreshing to see. Thank you for all of this and thank you for playing my favorite halo game.
Play TitanFall 2 campaign if you want to get hit right in the feelings.
Is it good? Actually, I should look at those for reaction and breakdowns... Good shout my old mucker!
@@kaizammittitan fall 2 is a fantastic game, not only great gameplay and fun movement but a good story with good characters.
@@kaizammitit’s a fucking masterpiece, would recommend just playing it, and going in somewhat blind
@@kaizammithell yeah it's amazing
@@kaizammitanother second for Titanfall 2. It's a fantastic and short fps story
Areas where the phone rings and sirens blare or tickets machines going crazy hint that an audio log is nearby.
Collecting enough audio logs also unlock weapon caches throughout the city.
the alternate cutscene is from collecting all of the audio logs. You’ll get 29/30 and find the last one on the rookies mission where you go find dare, it explains the random cop in the underground and a lot of other things
I’m glad you went through with it for this. You can sort of get away with not seeing gameplay for the other games, but the feel and atmosphere of ODST is such a departure from the mainline games and Reach that the experience really suffers without it.
This is what makes it my favorite Halo game, or at least very close with Reach. I love the atmosphere of Mombasa Streets and the detective style nature of the Rookie piecing everything together after the fact.
It reminds me of Rogue One a lot, or I suppose RO reminds me of ODST in that we get the side story going on behind the scenes, but everyone lives this time.
I’d love to see you finish ODST and also play another Halo game!
Pretty sure rookie’s mombasa streets part of the game is meant to be played with visr on. Its supposed to be really dark.
1:16:49 u missed an audio log there. You can also view them in the menu and it has some visuals
Found your channel a couple months ago and have since watched all your reactions to Halo stuff. This video was honestly a real treat! I love getting to see people's reactions to stories I love, and your keen eye for details like the signs pointing you the way to go and your insights into the cinematography side of the game have been truly refreshing. Please keep going!
Halo ODST is my favourite game cause the more grounded story the game has, the mix of the Jazz music from the god Martin O’Donnell, it really pulls you in to the game with its atmosphere
I never knew that cutscene with dutch supported different vehicles!
60 seconds in. Just thought I'd poke a comment here with my thoughts on a Filmmaker Let's Play. I think this is a great idea, both as video content, but also as a way to use your trained eye to see how film techniques are used in video games for yourself, at your own pace. Lighting and level design, environment, all of it, when done well, involves a lot of similarities - as well as differences - to film, helping to guide a player to their goals.
In less words, I think you'll be bringing much more unique commentary than your average "let's play" would.
Love the vibe and knowledge you bring with each video, Kai! Keep up the amazing work!
They originally wanted the mission sections with the Rookie to be raining at night, but it wasn't possible with the old engine from Halo 3. It's a shame because I think that rain sounds match perfectly with the OST. I believe there are some rain sounds simulated in some parts, but it's nowhere as heavy as they wanted.
Halo: ODST's soundtrack is one of my favorites. Especially the parts with the Rookie, I still listen to it from time to time
I just found your channel today and watched the Reach and ODST cutscene videos, then this comes out straight after!
I haven’t watched yet but I’m really hoping you’ve gone for all the audio logs, they uncover more of the story
Amazing! I'm glad you got around to it. Can't wait to keep up with this series
His reaction at 3:33 to the first cinematic "THIS LOOKS SO GOOD!!" speaks so much with so little. Gaming as an art form really does need to be seen on your own setup for its full effect. Watching cutscenes in a compressed youtube video is one thing, but seeing the same visuals in their direct 3D graphics on your own monitor is a whole different experience. The fact that this man has already seen the cutscenes, but still had that genuine reaction says it all. If you are reading this as a viewer, go play some ODST after the video. You won't regret it.
All of the interlevel loading screens are homogenized in the Master Chief Collection to just have a screenshot of the level, the name, and be completely silent. Each of the original Halo games had their own individual inter-level loading screens, which set the mood really well!
43:04 I chuckled a little when he stuck the engineer with a plasma nade
great game play loved every minute it of the other video of you watching the cut scenes cant wait to see more of this type of content
I enjoy these lets plays. I hope you do these more
There’s an old achievement for not killing a single engineer, and honestly it feels good to just sneak around some of the patrols to stop the engineer from exploding
God, I love how the music dynamically layers itself to ramp up as you pass certain triggers. The soundscape as you search for Dare's helmet in the building, walking through the dark corridors... the only encounter is just two Jackals in an adjacent room and yet the atmosphere is still so intense.
LOVE IT KAI!!!! Yes pleaae continue this.
Also, reminder that I volunteer as your Halo Reach tour guide/squadmate should you ever decide to upload that
This game truly is this dark in default settings. You could bump up the gamma brightness, but I feel that takes away from the experience. The experience of being alone, at night, no radar, and only your two weapons/VISR to protect you.
Also to answer your question you can’t save the Engineers controlled by Brutes. You kill the lead brute they detonate.
Fun fact: in the 360 version if you went through the Campaign without directly killing the controlled Engineers you’d get an achievement. Also those audio vids lead to a permanent altered mission/cutscene. Collect them all!
Depends on room lighting and display quality. On an OLED TV and properly calibrated HDR settings, you can walk the streets with good visibility and no night vision, it's not washed out either. There's a lot of lighting in the streets to see most of the time.
Inside buildings and in dark areas with the lights out the night vision is needed as you can only barely make out obstacles and the street.
Honestly I want a part 2, then there are definitely other games, like titanfall 2, the Horizen games, Halo Reach, and others. Such a fun video though, I love seeing how others feel to games I play.
Its so cool to see you playing this! Glad you saw the ship this time too in the opening. I was the guy (or at least one of them im sure im not the only one haha) that pointed out that detail in your react vid. Really shows that attention to detail Bungie put into the game. Great video as always mate keep it up!
I'm glad I did too, I was expecting it bigger tbh.
So happy you playing it. The mix of you analyzing trailers/cinnematics to gameplay is great
Love the gameplay hope to see you finish the story it’s super exciting reliving this part of my life through you, and also the Sadie audio logs or the “secrets”you’ve been collecting also have visuals to go along with them if you’re interested in that. You can access the visuals when either you initially begin the “secret” or any other time by going to the map and clicking the rb or lb bumpers to get you to the correct page for the story. Love all that you do ready for more content
Very under rated creator!! I honestly have never been into cinematography and all that outside of corridor digital, but you make understanding and enjoying it a lot easier. Loved the helldivers 2 video and love this one aswell
Every engineer in the campaign (mostly the rookie segments) are optional to kill. It can be annoying trying not to kill them as they give near by enemies overshields which will take you longer to kill. There's even achievements in the game for either killing no engineers or for killing all of them! Unfortunately you got one when you threw that grenade at the brutes but you can still redeem yourself ☺
@11:40 behind the enemies is a wall with glowing lines, when you see those throughout the map they sometimes open to have secret armory cases inside!
This game is special. Even compared to the rest of Halo and Xbox 360's titles. It is MOST DEFINATELY worth playing; it adds some perspective to the cutscenes.....adds just a bit of.....Emotional Investment.
Seen your vids love'em gave me chills when you were watching all cinematics of , Reach remembering how it felt seeing it the first time you gave me the opportunity to see that keep up the work
this is awesome, glad to see you went through with the idea on a playthrough of Halo 3 ODST! by far my favorite game of all time and its awesome to see someone experience it for the first time
I love watching people discover something I love for the first time! Thanks Kai that was a great Let's Play!
Seeing you react to the cinematic side of video games while you play is actually pretty cool. I would love to see you react to some games that are made to be somewhat cinematic like the last of us or those kind of games. The choices that developpers makes when they make a video game about a strong story is insane and it is interesting to see the way you look at them!
I found you when you reacted to Halo Deliver Hope and I've been excited every time you watch (or play this time) anything Halo!!!
10:40 funny you mention that @kaizammit haha. When composing, the motif Marty came up with and implemented throughout the majority of the soundtrack were three chords that harmonise “all a-lone”. You can hear that motif in most of the songs, especially from the sax. You definitely picked up on it being part of the Rookie’s theme.
I cant believe i found this chanel when did. I watched my first episode here around 1 month ago, and now you are playing one of my favorite games ever. Being able to relive a first playthrough through you in this atmospheric master piece is awesome
Thank you so much for hanging out with me. Good fun to watch I hope. Haha
1:28:36 nice getting that phantom at the last moment and surviving.
If you're quick, you can actually destroy the vast majority of phantoms in Halo 3 and ODST.
Love to see more Let’s Plays, had this on while I played Halo 3
this game was my first Hale Experience
You should watch all of the Mass Effect cut scenes
Love all your content man! Keep it up 👍
Oh so good to see ya playing halo. And even better to see ya having fun with it. I personally don't mind the lack of cinematography talk. You do that in your other videos. As long as you don't stop making them I think your all good. Will you post the rest of the play through on your channel?
Keep up the good work. Love the videos. 😊
Yes fella, regarding the let's play. I'm actually thinking of Live Streaming to next one as I've never done it before and it could be nice for me to chat with you guys live. Doing some tests this week to see if I can figure it out but next Saturday is looking likely!!
That was really enjoyable had fun watching you play this, would love to see you play more games 😁
Part two is coming! Might even have a go at live streaming the next bit, we'll see.
I'm sure you wouldn't want to completely change your channel direction but i really would love to see you play through all of the main halo games
Also, talking about how good this looks almost makes you want to go back and play Halo: 2 eh? 😉
Love it, can't wait to see more!
You need to start a gaming channel theres somthing uniqe abt this!😂😂
Haha thanks man!
react to halo legends
I love your videos!
Yeah you might need to go through the brightness/gamma settings in the main menu, they're different from the ones you changed in the active game. Thints should be playable and visible without VISR in most street areas in my experience. With an OLED TV with the TV calibrated, the game in HDR with the brightness set correctly, im able to see well at night and the dark atmosphere is still there with shadows not being overbright or washed out.
With an OLED monitor you might also look into HDR capability and turning HDR on in Windows, it won't be the best compared to something like a LG G3 but helps a lot in visibility and contrast. Recording may be difficult with this though, it may be washed out if recording in SDR or RUclips may ruin the picture for non HDR viewers if uploaded in HDR.
*keeps turning visor off*
"man this games really dark"
yea thats the point of the visor
*turns visor back on then off*
"man why is this game so dark"
because you keep turning off your visor
"im gonna have to change the settings"
no just keep your visor on unless you dont need it!
"your not supposed to keep using night vision cause it ruins it, i get that"
no, no one told you this. the game itself is telling you to keep using it dude wtf are you saying lmfao
so i stopped watching at 42 minutes cause you keep purposely turning your visor off and because of it your missing literally 90% of the entire game and what it has to offer while the game is literally telling you over and over to keep using your visor bro come on man just play the game the way you should. why make the experience worse not only for yourself but your audience for no reason at all. you cant claim you didnt know, the game keeps telling you. the only way your going to actually experience the game the way they made it for you to enjoy is by restarting and actually using your visor. you ruined the entire experience on purpose dude
Hold up how do you already have the campaigns completed when you haven't played before. 🤔
Hey Late to the party, but seeing you playing games with your knowledge will be interesting.
There's non cutscene stuff you might appreciate.
I want to wish you a Happy Easter. I have a few comments and questions.
1 I am loving all the Halo stuff you are doing. I hope I see you react to Halo 4 and 5 stuff as well.
Halo 3 and 4 I think had the best stories. 4 was a different kind of story. I felt it was very creepy and mysterious. it was Master Chief coming to "The Land of Oz" or better "The Emerald City in spirit" The Forerunners unlike the Covinant had near magic like tech... but everything we thought about them up to the point of Halo 3 made them look good, 4 showed they were the cause for lots of serious problems in the Galaxy and maybe the Universe.
I wont spend to much time on that. I feel like 343 was to harshly treated for plot elements made in 4 5 and 6. Just like what happened with "Star Wars Battlefront 2 EA" it appears Microsoft got involved with what 343 was doing, they demanded the games be made safer, so they had lots and lots and lots of plot elements and whole levels and enemies removed. Their is RUclips documentaries about it. You wouldn't believe the incredible stuff that was removed. Its also why the Halo 5 trailers didnt hardly reflect the final product. Its also why the plot points of 4 5 are resolved in other media or in one cut scene.
2 Ive always wanted a Halo game about the Star Fighters in space, it could play like "Star Wars X-Wing, Star Lancer, and so on" If you had to make a live action Trailer about a Halo Star Fighter game, how would you do it? In the lore, Sparatans interface into the vehicles they pilot, so they never neeed a full crew. Lets say in this story, the Spartan is doing this so much, interlinking with a "Long Sword Fighter/Interceptor" called the flying Fox, so often that he and or the crew of the ship he is defending feel he is losing whats left of his humanity and becoming an organic drone flying in space destroying Covianiant Star Fighters.
3 How would you do a Halo live action trailer? This is similar to the 2nd question BUT you pick the project, Halo 7, a Halo offshot game that could be about Spartans, Special Forces, Soldiers, heck maybe a Halo game that is from the Aliens perspective completely? Maybe you are making a live action trailer for a "canon" Halo / Master Chief movie that takes place before Halo 7 or maybe "Halo Wars 3 is the live action movie." The skies the limit.
Again thank you for all the stuff you have done with Halo.
I will be covering all the Halo games, unknown if I'll be playing them. I made this video because a lot of you asked for it. I hope it doesn't disappoint.
2. If I had an unlimited budget, I would show a mixture of elements from the mental state of the "hero" and the dog fighting, I'm guessing there is dog fighting? Trailers ask questions which make the viewer think. So it would be something like, am I man being a machine? or a machine being a man? Use lots of cut to blacks too as that's what trailers are about. The master of black cutting.
3. I would do it as a story where you play as the human (grunt human), be taken back by the beauty of the Halo universe and lore and fight side by side with different characters. Make the Spartans something special again so when you see one the little boy inside you blows up!! Use it to build the world up again but take risks in the story and gameplay so it feels different. Think Rogue One of the Star Wars universe, something different, something special and made for fans old and new.
I would at the end basically show that the hero is good enough to be a Spartan or has traits to be one. That type of thing, end with a flash of your character in his own Spartan armour.
Thank you so much for the support, it really means a lot!
@@kaizammit Thank you so much for the reply and your ideas and I am enjoying this video XD
THANK YOU!!! I WANT TO WATCH YOU PLAY THESE
Also maybe rdr2 if you want, one of the best stories in a game ever
I’ve really been enjoying your reviews on Halo since I discovered your channel, but ODST is absolutely the one I would have been encouraging you to play personally! I’m so thrilled you’ve decided to try this out and show us all what you think, I’ve got the kind of brain that once I play a game I never really forget anything about it, so I don’t get to be totally surprised or wowed even if it’s been years since I last played or watched content regarding it. It’s nice to see someone else play detective for the first time in ODST! Even though you’ve seen some of the cutscenes before, watching for little details and subtleties the creators added in is such a treat, I hope you have as much fun as I did when I noticed them!
I will say, this is a game I would recommend just… Exploring. Meandering. Take your time to look and inspect what’s around, familiarize yourself with the streets, note the graffiti, and most definitely hunt down all those Audio Logs! I think you’ll enjoy them immensely! The Superintendent is keen to guide you to each Audio Log, and uses the signs, sound, and lights, to try to point you in the right direction if you see those things going haywire, you’ll know there’s a log nearby, I don’t believe the Superintendent shows you all the details of what happened with the Great Schism, that’s more likely to be something the player has to figure out on their own, but it is involved in the logs and the Rookie’s safety for sure. Definitely make an effort to keep with the Superintendent’s guidance, and if you don’t see something right away, take a moment to recheck! I adore Sadie’s Story, I love her personality and the civilian perspective of all the crazy things that went down in New Mombasa during the Covenant Invasion. The cutscenes in the VISR really help in painting the picture though they aren’t totally necessary for imagining everything, buuuut I would advise parking your trusty Rookie in a safe little corner if you decide to watch to avoid any patrols!
I would happily watch every second even if it took a while! I really hope you continue to play ODST, if you haven’t already!
You should play Modern warfare 2019. The one campaign mission were you play as S.A.S and raid a house in downtown London(I think london) it’s extremely cinematic and short. Would be a great video!
I'm begging you to do a Filmmaker Reacts to Red vs Blue Season 8 episode 10 and Season 9 episode 10
12:00 "X" is normally reload. It seems you are using a different control scheme. Normally VISR is left bumper I believe and the right bumper is melee and such and such
would love to see you finish this game
I will be doing the next part.... live!! I'm thinking about it. I've never streamed before so should be a huge learning curve. Most likely next Saturday. Come say hi!
Yeah, the game is just that dark. Even on my regular HD monitor it's dark, some places are dark even with night vision.
The X button used to be a popular reload button, both for many years, and many years ago. It might be popular still, I don't know, but that would be why you've got it in your head that X should be reload.
If you didn't hear it from a slew of other comments yet, Halo ODST was originally meant to be an expansion to Halo 3. It's original name was Halo 3: Recon.
And yes, I would like more content like this. Finish up ODST and then move onto Reach, may as well go with release order.
He schould play Halo 2 Anniversary😅 this could be really interesting😅🎉
Continue ODST!!!!! There are soo many atmosphere and story points you can find (And have missed already) buried in that game.
Oh my god he did it. LETS GO
Brings me back watching this, still remember my first time playing
Hey Kai! I'm a huge fan! thought I'd add this for your knowledge:
Halo 3 ODST has a deeper story at hand that dates before the game even released with some of the teasers for Halo 2 and models Halo CE cut (The engineers). But what you may like is the Sadies story. You found I believe 3 of the 30 audio logs. If you don't want to track down all 30, you can watch a video on it. But it is a reference to the novel "Dantes Inferno" in which, Vergil guides Dante through the 9 layers of hell itself. Sadie replaces Dante in this case. However, by collecting all 30 audio logs, you unlock a secret ending, which in my opinion truly rewards the player for following Sadies story the whole way. I hope this catches you before you record the next video so you can hear her story and see the secret ending.
Your video where you reacted to the gameplay did not show the secret ending. I dont want to spoil too much if you do want to hear the story, so I'll leave you with the Superintendents own words: Crime doesn't pay. Good citizens do their part!
You caught the monitors changing to take you on the safest route through the city, you sort of understood that Vergil keeps you informed on your situation if you heed his warnings carefully, but what I saw you didn't quite get was the fact that the Superintendent (Vergil) is the one guiding you through Hell. Just like Sadie is Dante, so too is the Rookie. Or Buck. Or Romeo. Or Dutch. Or Mickey.
I mean now it's time to play them in order: Reach, CE, 2, 3, & 4 (we don't talk about 5), then Infinite
The city VRGL will also help you with where to go & where collectables are. He'll raise barriers, change screens to arrows, make coins or tickets spew from machines, and make car alarms and police sirens go off to get your attention.
I don't know what controller layout you had but reload is normally X. Also, I don't know if you can help that Huragok, when you open fire it will fly away and still give the brutes overshields, but there is an achievement if you don't kill any Huragoks/Engineers while playing as the Rookie. Just keep your distance as the Brutes put proximity detonators on them
You should definitely start to play the assassin’s creed games. I’d love to watch you play them, and they’re very cinematic!
Abit off video topic but i couldent find the reaction to SC2 Legacy of the void cinematics is that put on hold or did that just not happen?
Recorded it the other day, just in line for editing now. Very soon!
@@kaizammit Cool timing then. Maybe this would be tricky to jam in if its already recorded but there is videos called "SC2 legacy of the void recap" Its a few min long story recap video from SC1 up to the start of the Legacy of the Void. Also if u havent been suggested the "Starcraft 2 legacy of the void reclamation" that is happening just before the game start so if u havent watched that then do that becouse thats a big character arc for Artanis in a few min video and it actually ties in to the launch cinematic itself. That reclamation video is a must watch.
I liked that as your first LP. I admit, it is kinda a long video, so I did some skipping. But it's really great to leave it playing in the background on my PC while I work a bit. For that, you have a nice, soothing voice, easy to listen to. And you seem to have genuine fun while playing. I will say I still mainly would like to see your reactions/breakdowns and similar to cinematicts, trailers and such, but uploading a video of you playing and enjoying some of those games now and then is certainly nothing I would mind!
(also For Honor :P)
Fun fact those poor sweet Engineers getting bombs implanted in em' are are called Huragok, and were made by the ancient Forerunners (The guys who made the Halo Rings). And are biomechanical organisms that arent technically alive because instead of reproducing they build each other, and are forced into slave labor by the Covenant.😢
Just noticed when you jump out of the park at the end of the Dutch mission; the cutscene uses whatever vehicle you were driving in when you make the jump
Yeah I'm not sure why but the Master Chief Collection changes the original controls to the more newer "Modern" control system, by changing the layout of the controls, for all Halo games by default. The standard controls are much more streamlined, X is to reload, right bumper is to throw grenades and etc. Much more akin to Call of Duty as you were saying. This was how it was for Halo CE through Halo 3 ODST until Halo Reach changed the default scheme of controls. If the controls do feel weird, don't sweat it! It's because they are, and you can totally change the control scheme in the settings as well to the more streamlined layout. I don't think I've ever met anyone who actually enjoys playing with the control scheme vs the original.
Feel free to turn the gamma even higher on these darker parts and ignore the visual gamma test. You have to remember this was optimized to work well on CRT TVs with the XBOX 360, so there will be some tweaks to get the most out of the visuals on any modern monitor (and you wont be cheating by making the game look nicer). Glad you are playing through this one, I still listen to this soundtrack on rainy mornings.
An interesting part of the game with those Engineers. If you only attack/kill the other covenant, the Engineers will run away from you.
Mateee sick! Halo is the best OG game franchise out there! Grew up playing it and i still play it now at 24🤣
if i had the chance to bring 1 game to life. It would have to be Halo 100%
I enjoyed your first video breaking down ODST. You're obviously a fan of the franchise and I think watching you play it first hand for the first time will be great. I get how you'd get bored watching game play from other people. The little game play that was in your original critique helped add some context and atmosphere but it'll be a treat seeing you witness that first hand in a more engaging way. This game just hits different than a lot of the other Bungie halo titles. I'm here for it.
😂 I'm awful at these games! Mass Effect is more my speed, if only because its a wee bit more forgiving...
You really should try playing Halo 2 Anniversary at some point. IMO it is the best looking Halo game to date with the anniversary graphics. There is an achievement and a small change to the cutscene where you find Vergil if you dont kill any engineers as the Rookie.
All those alien symbols apparently have a some meaning that has yet to be discerned by the community. The original bungie devs who worked on ODST made a small language with them, and have yet to tell the community what they mean, but they are saying something.
Love this! I wanted to see you do a lets play of something a while ago and was disappointed when you said you didn't think that there would be an audience for it. I'm so glad you changed your mind and decided to give it a go! It's nice to hear your thoughts and opinions from a film making perspective during the game, helps someone without that kind of background appreciate the details even more. Thank you for uploading!
I would like to recomend you the Elder Scrols online trailers. Those are amazing.
Should definitely React to the Halo Reach animation called “Remember” by Sodaz.
This is legitimately so much fun! Really looking forward to more videos of this!
Sadie is a character only in the Logs. You can also watch the Logs either after you collect them all or as you find them, super neat visual style for Sadie's story! May be worth a reaction but since they are still images and not a video, it may be difficult.
You know what you could do is make a separate channel for gaming and perhaps wet your feet again in gaming, Just a pitch idea though I understand if you want to keep videos to one channel. I'm sure many others (Me included) would love to see your reactions to games especially if they have good scenes that bring out you cinematography bits.
It's not much but I'd love for you to watch the Total War: Shogun 2 animated trailer!
I haven’t watched a let’s play so attentively in quite a while. I don’t mind if there’s not much film commentary because I think the allure is watching you experience the game for the first time.
I think halo reach would be a great next game to play after odst. When it released I was quite lukewarm about it but after some years, it’s the one I remember most nostalgically.
