I will be buying RDR 1 for my Switch when the physical port comes out on October. I have RDR 2 on my X but never finished it.
Not seen that before. Looks amazing.
I had RDR1 on 360 back in the day. It was the last game I had on 360 actually; it was my fourth and it RRODed again and after I got a new one I sold it for a PS3.
RDR1 is literally one of my favorite games of all time and it’s my favorite western related media story of all time. Rockstar did a fantastic job telling a story set in the twilight years of the Old West, when it was clearly dying and being pushed out by the 20th century’s numerous societal changes.
Plus John Marston was such a good protagonist. You sympathize with him the entire time, but you know that he has a very dark past and done some ■■■■■■ up stuff as an old outlaw. His story of redemption is good not just in gaming terms, but in terms of media in general.
That’s why I need to finish RDR 2. Arthur is just as compelling a protagonist as Marston was.
That’s really my favorite part of history. The transitional periods in societies. So the transition of the old west into the modern west that was forced on those people back in the early 20th century has always fascinated me. Rockstar picked the right period to set both games in.
Shantae: Half-Genie Hero Ultimate Edition
100% main game completion on the first go. A very fun and well thought out game, but a bit too easy for a Metroidvania. IMO Shantae and The Pirate’s Curse was decidedly more challenging.
The alternate story and game modes look like they’ll make up for the shortcomings.

I just finished this game when it came up on PlayStation plus earlier this year. Played on my PS5. That game is incredible and graphics still hold up after all of these years.
Now I’m just exploring different corners of the game and fighting outlaws lol

I am 10 hours in… amazing game so far. Took a minute to understand how to jump from planet to planet…
About 40 hours in and I agree, fantastic game.
Completed Hardcore Mode. It wasn’t really much more difficult than the original mode. Just more enemies. Had I know there was no achievement for finishing it with a 100% completion rate, I wouldn’t have bothered.
Smoked the Pirate Queen’s Quest in 3.5 hours with a 100% completion and zero upgrades. Got a few achievements for that. On to the alternate game modes.

RDR2 is probably one of my favorites of all time. So much detail , it’s crazy. Like being in a living, breathing late 19th/early 20th century museum.
I only play a few games that aren’t sports games and this one is just as good as it gets.

Nearly finished with Baldur’s Gate 3, in a world were everything is overhyped this one has exceeded all expectations.
Warning it’s chunky, if you are a player that likes to dig in you’ll have so much to the point of exhaustion.
You can also easily play this game multiple times and not have the same experience.
I just noticed that in these Shantae games, all the chicks are as evil as their boobs are big, the protagonist having the smallest.

I noticed something like that in Final Fantasy VII Remake. Tifa (previously known to us 9 year olds back in the late 90s simply as Boobs) had her bust reduced by a decent margin. And her tank top is way less revealing than in the FMV scenes of the original game.
But Scarlet, the female big bad in the story, had her bust size dramatically increased and her outfit is even more revealing than it was in the 90s.
It’s almost like they are trying to tell us something about busty women lol. The sexier they are the crazier they will be I guess.

On level 57 of the new play through. Some of my solutions are sloppy as hell, and some are downright genius. These last 10 stretch my brain nicely, and take me about 90 minutes each to troubleshoot and solve so far.
This is gonna make for a fun 60 episode playlist on my YouTube channel.
You have a Youtube channel? We need to know more.
Finished Wasteland 3 and now playing Divinity Original Sin II and I’m STILL IN FT JOY.
Party is:
- Ifan - Ranger/Summoner with civil role as Thief because of his outlaw background.
- Red Prince - Tank/Melee civil role as Persuasion because of his noble background.
- Loshe - Class Cannon Ranger civil role as Barter because of her bard background
- Sebille - Wizard (currently geo and pyro mage) civil role is searching for loot with Lucky Charm for the only reason his she’s a self-important Elf and an annoying bitch.
I’ve left The Beast and Fran alone, but if I spec them out The Beast will come in as a Warrior Cleric and Fran as a Summoning Necromancer.

Yeah my friend is playing through Divinity II before getting to BG3 he is 230 hours in and only in act 2 out of 3.
It’s a chunky game, Larian likes to out do themselves with every new game
Doesn’t everybody?
My problem is I’m more a completionist vs good RPG’er.
I want to find all the locations, collect all the loot, and decimate all the bad guys. And hey, if I decimate some of the good guys along the way - well they shouldn’t have gotten in my way.
LOLz

Look at how the fake, evil AI is destroying searches. Microsoft you’ve gone too far. I do a copy and paste search to see if Sixfoot’s comment was a common opinion/joke and the chatbot jumps up to scold me.
I think it’s time to start using emulators to get away from globalist ownership.
maybe better to go Linux and use emulators for my Windows based programs
I totally get it, you are in for a great time.
These Larian RPG’s make exploration rewarding as it should with interesting characters and back stories.
In contrast I always found Bethesda games to be big but lacking any sense of achievement. Cave #1 looked just like Cave #30 in Fallout 3 which eventually just killed my sense for exploration. The characters in their games also always feel flat.
