I am going to post this post in multiple subs that might be interested in playing these games for the first time, and after playing them all more people need to experience these master pieces.
First if you have never played most people recommend playing them in release order,mg1,mg2,mgs1,mgs2,mgs3,portable ops,mgs4,mgs peacewalker, ground zeros, mgs5.
My personal recommendation however is mg1, mg2,mgs1,mgs2,mgs3,portable ops, peace walker, ground zeros, the phantom pain before ending it all with mgs4 as it ends the series absolutely perfectly, and I personally feel it’s the perfect way to end the series being set chronologically ahead of all the other games but either order works really. another note is technically you dont need to play mg1-2, they are old and very outdated, but i still think its worth it as mg2 has an amazing story and they help flesh out mgs1 a lot, i would say just try them and if you really cant stand them just move on to mgs1

I know this will never happen, but some of the COD campaigns look pretty interesting. It sucks that I can’t play them without paying out the ass for the MP crap as well. And the games, no matter how old they are never seem to go on sale. I know why ActiBlizz does this, but it still sucks. Eh, just a rant I suppose.
At least we have the Halo campaigns for a good price.

Either on the map or in the inventory, just as a basic quality of life thing.
Simple stuff like “Don’t sell this gem!” Or “Collect X building material”, “Find 10 more of this thing”
Can be useful for playing games on higher difficulties with no hints/map markers etc “Talk to wizard in town” or “Shopkeeper at X has potions”
I was playing a bit of Cities: Skylines and it would help for planning as well, “University will go here. Industry area will go here” For now I’m just painting on regions and naming them but that’s kinda clumsy.
Even something on a GTA world map like “Cool jump here”
I seem to recall some old fps rpg had it, like maybe Ultima Underworld or something but I haven’t seen it in many games since.
It’s especially helpful if you don’t get to play that often, maybe a few times per month. What was I building at my base? What mats was I farming? What …
