Man even as someone who doesnt really care about Monster Hunter I really enjoyed reading this and your review of the main game. Mad respect for writting such a long and detailed review.

Glad to see someone else appreciate Dead Money so much. Its usually on the lower end when people talk about New Vegas DLC. Definitly come to appreciate it more as I got older aswell. God/Dog is one of my favorite characters across all of Fallout, hes so interesting just based on the idea alone.

Agree with just about everything you wrote. I definitly love how well they managed make it seem like such a cool city in their first attempt. Missions overdue it with the difficulty and shooting, especially on console, is absolute ass.

I just woke up and read this review. I love that I now know that Chex has a Nutrition Research base somewhere in outer space. Thank you.

Pretty good review, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I think it's fair to say Reach does have the best gameplay out of Bungies original run on Halo. I'm not so sure if I agree with your assessment that the story is weak. I think it's very strong, and I love that it's mostly told through its visuals, as you see Reach just deteriorate more and more under the covenant invasion. And of course I totally get how you can just end up not caring about the characters, they aren't super well characterized. The approach Bungie took ended up still working for me. You are just kinda thrust into this veteran group of Spartans and there are a lot of subtle details that still give a sense of who these people are, without even drawing much attention to it. Like how Kat is the only one of the group that has a prosthetic arm and clearly has some kind of deeper history with Carter. Or the fact that Jorge speaks Hungarian, because he grew up on Reach and therefore very visibly cares about the civilian lives on his home planet. I just love how paying attention to small details like that can make you see a character in a totally different light.

You could ask yourself why they removed such a essential option. but you could ask yourself why this remake is now 30 fps when it was 60 on Gamecube. Only smart decisions made at Nintendo am I right ? $59.99 please.
