So, I’m not trying to start an argument, but when describing what makes an Ubisofty style game is stuff that Bethesda has been doing for a really, really long time. I wonder why Ubisoft is considered the banner. More polished gameplay?

I was playing AC: Odyssey right up until Red Dead 2 was released, and I’m also having some issues adapting to the differences in gameplay. Not having Ikaros to call on to scout the area is probably the biggest thing I miss. That sort of thing would make hunting in Red Dead much much easier. Also, Arthur tends to fall…

What?! Swan is giving Trump enough rope to hang himself. He’s not advocating the policy or celebrating it, he’s gleefully letting Trump’s idiocy shine through.

Because they have the privilege to be above it all. Or so they think. 

Why the fuck are these interviewers so gleeful? Right down the line, when the president or his minions say something awful, they all giggle about it. It’s not fucking funny. They are implementing horrible policies. Don’t fucking laugh.

There seems to be a recent surge of critiques of this game going around and it sort of dumbfounds me. I’m certainly no gaming expert, and really only splurge on a handful of titles in any given year, but from all the games I have ever played RDR 2 is so far one of the most stunning masterful accomplishments I have…

I havent even got past the opening few missions before you can actually start free roaming and i think its incredible. I managed to unlock an achievement and stabbed 3 guys under 5 seconds lol i laughed at how graphic it was.

It’s simple to understand what she means, I think she just worded it poorly. The best way I can explain it is that too many NPCs feel like they exist solely for the player to interact with instead of doing their own thing. The game does this extremely often, however there are times where they definitely make the game…

The takeaway I got was that these are scripted to the point of rote. It seems more a lamenting of there not being perceived advances in environment, and that everyone exists to serve the player, which reduces the realism.

I kinda get what you’re going for, but I don’t think I agree. In a totally realistic game, not every good deed would lead to a reward. Maybe the person you saved doesn’t have anything to give you, maybe they’re just an asshole, maybe they get killed by random marauders before they get back into town. But at the same…

You can say this about NPCs from any open world game, though. I’m not sure why the NPCs in RDR2 would be any more off-putting than an Assassin’s Creed, GTA, Watch Dogs, Sleeping Dogs, etc. We’re still a long way off from Star Trek holodeck realism in character behavior

Your points are valid, but isn’t this how pretty much every game is? Not sure if I’ve ever played something where it felt like the NPCs were real people.

Maybe it's the Assassin on the right lol

Eh, just eat instead. I’ve found food brings much more reliable comfort and pleasure than any amount of “8 minutes of banging, than awkwardness, then the hard reboot kicks in.”

Meh. There are people that can do this with relatively few consequences. I’m not one of them. In fact, I find it difficult to even be friends with exes (without a decent period of little to no interaction.) To each their own.

Sleeping with my ex right now and can confirm it is 100% NOT letting me move on. I was doing great before that happened. Now I’m back with all the feels, even though he’s moved on he keeps coming back bc I let him. I started seeing someone after we broke up and ended up pushing that super nice guy away bc I suddenly…

Forget the college fund, it’s going towards therapy for that oral fixation.

Yeah, I’m cool with that. I’m done with these old f**ks complaining about not being able to ‘do comedy’ that is no longer appropriate. Humor changes with the times, and smarter, funnier people are making great comedy now that deal with gender and racial issues truthfully from experience. This work of his is dated…

We did make Blazing Saddles today, it’s just that it was called Get Out.

Jewish man thinks bad things that happened to Jews off limits, everything else fair game.
