Obviously, the visuals from the first two don’t dazzle quite the way they did many years ago ( Halo 2: Anniversary Edition, however, is stunning), but the controls, physics engine, level design, enemy AI, and weapon variety blow most modern shooters out of the water. I recently replayed the first three Halo games, and I’m absolutely baffled by how well they’ve aged gameplay-wise. Still, as much as I’m enjoying the experience, I don’t think it’s quite as much of a game changer as some would have you believe. Don’t get me wrong: I’m glad that it reminds me a lot of the original Red Dead Redemption and I guess it’s weird that I thought at any time that Rockstar would actually change things that much. I’ll be doing a deep dive on Red Dead Redemption 2 sometime soon, but I’ll say this for now: despite all the chatter about what the game does differently and how it aims to completely change how we experience open worlds, I’ve been somewhat surprised at how similar it is to other Rockstar games. Plus, a little sendoff to a nerd icon who left us this week. In this edition, I’ll cover some of my views on Red Dead Redemption 2 , Halo 2, and The Game Awards. For this edition of Punished Notes, I’m doing a big ol’ lightning round just to get out all of my thoughts since the last Punished Notes.
It’s been a while! Life gets in the way sometimes, so I haven’t been able to fire off my blazing takes for nearly two months.
