Today's game is Halo Reach. Me and a friend were going to play Halo 2 but for some reason MCC on steam only downloaded Reach, so we played that instead. We found a pair of forklifts and while the NPCs handled the fighting we drove them around and crashed into eachother. You can see the battle above taking place. finally after a while we progressed through the mission.

The whole game gives me kind of skyrim vibes, and also Half Life 2. I think it's the car and the highway like infrastructure remind me of HL2 and the environment reminding me of Skyrim. There's a lot of snow everywhere and there were even some glaciers we drove past.

The game also gave me a great chance to test out my new gaming rig. I am proud to say it handled it at 4k, at max settings at a stable 60 fps. I was going to push for 120 but for some reason i guess my monitor can't do that despite me being 100% sure it could. I even had it hooked up via DP.

The game is really pretty. I really liked this mountain region. It reminded me of Far Cry 4, with all those high up peaks and things you could climb. That game was also really pretty when i played through it.

Overall i really like reach. The powerup system has been fun to play with and it looks really pretty. After Halo 2 i might go back and finish it.

I'm thinking it's the monitor. I think i was just referring to the wrong manual for a newer version of mine when looking at it. I'm a bit disappointed, but I've lived this long without 120hz, i can live a while longer
