Finished ODST in one sitting this afternoon. Really enjoyed the ways it departed from the previous games, with some nice hub-style exploration and a moody, noirish tone. You could tell it was made by a smaller team (was this once intended to be H3 DLC?), so I appreciate that they took some big risks.
Tried the first few missions of Halo 4 on legendary and its just not doing it for me. I feel like the difficultly is a bit borked. Enemies aren’t especially challenging but they feel very bullet-spongey and take forever to take down. There’s a bit too much banter between Chief and the now-inexplicably-scantily clad Cortana and quite a few buttons to press. Still, it’s early going. Great looking game for the tail-end of the generation, but feels a bit more traditionally sci-fi than I expected from the series. Might return to it later.
