Topic: Pure Xbox Game Club - Halo 2 (Nov)

@ZeD I'd say it doubles down on survival horror and also encourages stealth over going in guns blazing.

I've watched some reviews. It sounds a bit intimidating but I'll definitely give it a fair shake.

Played a good 45 minutes tonight before hopping back to Echoes of Wisdom. It's definitely tense so far, super creepy, and grotesque. Happy spooky season I suppose 🤪

Another hour in tonight. Found this crazy basement that lead me to an armory with more weapons. Worked out well since I found a shot gun. Definitely found some jump scares in that section too.

@Balta666 Pls add me on PXGC for all the games

@RobertPayne556 consider it done! And welcome!

@Balta666 please add me too. Got it downloading right now!

@Balta666 Thank you.

@XxHyperspudxX Okidoki, welcome!

I'll be interested to hear more people's thoughts on the game. Feels like I'm playing this spooky game solo!

@NintendoByNature cannot help you this month 😅

@Balta666 I recall you being a bit of a scaredy cat like me lol.

@NintendoByNature I've been busy playing Little Hope over at Push Square Game Club, but I'm done with the game now so I'll be hopefully starting up The Evil Within 2 tonight.

@NintendoByNature I played the first two chapters earlier & am liking it more than I thought I would to be honest. It's clearly borrowing loads of ideas from other places & as a concept it doesn't appear to offer anything new so far, but has atmosphere & a few shocks. I'd like to see a bit more. So I'd give it a tentative "ok" up to now.

@LtSarge good stuff!
@XxHyperspudxX fully agree. So far it's ok to good. The setting is really where it's at in this game. The enemies are give or take.

Not big on horror and can’t make up my mind on what I’ll vote but I hope everyone enjoys this game month!

So I played it for a few hours last night. The first thing I have to mention is that the game feels a lot like The Last of Us in terms of mechanics and gameplay. It has that weighty feel to it when you move around, you can stealth kill enemies from behind with a knife, you can craft items and upgrade weapons and so on. It's a very positive thing because I absolutely loved TLOU Part 2 when I played it earlier this year.

The second thing is that the game has quite a few scares already and the reason why I mention this is because I've never felt that the Resident Evil series (comparing TEW to it since both were created by the same guy) was that scary. Well, except for Resident Evil 7 which in my opinion is the scariest game in the series that I've played so far.

But yeah, very positive impressions of the game so far. I'm looking forward to seeing how open it's going to get from here on out.

@LtSarge never played last of us. But it's definitely more cerebral which always freaks me out. Never know what's real or fake! I've definitely been more of a stalker and quietly taking out enemies.

I'm onto chapter 7 I believe. I'm really enjoying it now. Scavenging, silently killing enemies, all of it. The mind games are next level with the set pieces too.

Onto chapter 8. Beefing up my guns and ammo.
