Welcome back to another sweaty episode of 5 O'Clock Sweats!
In this week's episode, the Sweats turn back the clock and discuss some old games they've been revisiting. To nobody's surprise, Ryan talks about the original Halo games and and how the lack of sprint and advanced movement mechanics can make them feel dated, but that "classic Halo feel" still makes them very fun to play. Ryan also shares his thoughts on the weapon sandbox and lack of balancing in the old Halo games. Chris describes his experience going back and playing the original Gears of War multiplayers and how dated and clunky the games feel after the initial nostalgia wore off. Chris does talk about some positives, such as the sound design, active reload and how satisfying kills still feel, especially sneaking behind someone and pulling off a chainsaw execution. Chris also details his experience playing some of the older Call of Duty games, specifically Modern Warfare 3, by saying the movement feels slow, but shooting and other actions feel very responsive. Also, the pre game lobbies are still as savage as they were back in the day! Chris then reveals which feature from the old Call of Duty games he wants to see come to modern Call of Duty. Derick talks about Dark Cloud 2 - a game he never finished when he was 10 years old - and goes into why he feels the game hasn't aged very well despite its story holding up pretty well. Derick also reveals how he learned to "cheese" the XP reward system. Make sure you watch till the end to find out how, Dark Cloud 2 fans! We know you're watching.
The Sweats end the episode by going around and sharing one thing they miss the most about these old games and what they're looking forward to doing during the upcoming week in their weekly segment, "Off the Clock."
