I don’t really know the name of the game mechanics, but when I was a kid I bought, with my saves, Halo Wars for Xbox 360, the worst investment I have done after ChainLink cryto purchase, well as a newbie I listened to my friend how Halo was the best game they have ever played!!!, as the you all may guess, the were talking about Halo 4.
Since then I am GOW fan. Halo wars had a poor mechanics for me 12 years ago, maybe today could be a game I would like.
Mint guy here, since 6 months ago, best choice I have done. If you make some research, in few time you realiese you do not need Microsoft to live in the majority of the cases.
