Semi long story/experience.

 

So I was riding along exploring the south of the map when I hear yelling and arguing coming from a homestead (not a stranger mission or anything). I stop to investigate and quietly enter the house and see/hear a drunk father arguing with his son about money and the son pulling his weight. The son arguing back saying the father would just drink or gamble it away and that's why mum left. The father is about the strike the son but the son walk off, out of the room right where I was standing (in the hallway). Instantly he gets a shock and the starts yelling to his dad that someone is in the house. The drunk father comes running, telling his son to hide in his room and starts yelling and threatening at me and I sort of ignored him seeing where it's gonna go but things quickly escalated and he pulls a gun on me and starts firing so I obviously fire back and kill him. Now the son in the other room hears the shots and starts screaming and crying, 'Nooo Pa, no', and real proper fear crying, I felt bad but thought since I had come this far I may as well loot the place and get something out of all this. I investigate and find a letter to the son from his mother and as I enter the room where the son is he is inconsolable, saying 'Why? Why would you do this', 'Pa, oh pa' and 'Just take what you want and leave, pleasseee', etc. So I see a cigarette card on his desk and pick it up and his cries escalate even further, 'Please, please dont take that, my mother left me it, it's all I got, please' and in that moment I felt so much like shit and the guilt had built up in me so much that I couldn't handle what just happened to this boy and what I did so I reloaded a previous save. 

 

The point of all that is that I have never felt this while playing a game. Happy, Sadness, etc, sure. But actual guilt for actions that I chose? Never. Cause it's just a game... and yet. The sequence of events, the fact it was just from my exploring, my actions to stop, intervene then panic and act as I did and most importantly just how well that story of that family was crafted from conversation and environments. Not to mention the voice acting and just how natural all of it felt and sounded to the events that unfolded, from the arguing to the shock of a home invader to the shooting. It was unbelievable. The game might have it's short comings but moments like these are unparalleled. 

 

I have other smaller and some even funny experiences but that was the highlight of the game for me so far.

you can bargain bin Witcher 3  right now, like everything on retail disc, DLC and all, for like $20.

 

I played Witcher 3 main story, but still haven't played the two DLC expansions. But this game doesn't render Witcher 3 unplayable.

 

The giantbomb people said it best. This Red Dead game is not a RPG game. This is like LARP-ing.  Like you REALLY do have to "role-play", If you come in there expecting to enjoy it like a Saints Row game, none of this is going to feel fun.

I like it but I just reached chapter 3 and the story hasn’t really gone anywhere yet. I’m hoping it picks up soon and the mission design also improves.

I want to like it. The characters are great, the presentation is just utterly insane, and I don't even mind the mission design thus far since I really dig the shooting and kinda like the fist fights.

 

I think somebody in this thread said the game just doesn't respect your time and that's 100% the nail on the head.

I'm all for a slow burn, but going anywhere and doing anything just takes so long for no good reason.

Good god you whine a lot.

This game just keeps getting better. At 22% now but still in Chapter 1, been doing a lot of fucking around. I can see it not being for everyone though.

I would enjoy that tbh. I got quite the candor imagination. As for Witcher 3, I have it available on steam right now through share. Though I dunno how well a amd 9800 would run it or whatever the piss I got it. Yakuza 0 runs graphically fine, but it stops now and then. I think it's a RAM issue and the game is buggy. I could pick up witcher for console as you said.  So many expansions and DLC I'm a bit confused what to get.

 

Also, does the console version have Japanese voice and text? I know that's a download you can do on PC.  Ya, I ask the same questions about every game, so sue me.

no, i don't think the console versions offer more than french, polish.

 

You can wait for an inevitable GOG sale around christmas. They should sell that around $15-$20.

the PC version has a JPN DLC.  Game would be a bit a archaic bore in Japanese for me anyways. Though, reading it could be fun. Kanji game.  I think actually I'll look at black friday deals?  Gamestop? Amazon?

 

Shit I bet DQ11 may be cheap then... fuck... hmmm. I'll buy something soon!! thanks jeuelz

This game is truly a marvel to behold on Xbox.  The game in general is very impressive.  Anybody do the pig farmer mission yet?  OMFG Rockstar!

Have you guys been doing the satchel upgrades? What's the best ones? The descriptions don't really tell you what they actually do...

[Boss 70]

I've been delivering pelts to Pearson, but I don't know how that shit works. I guess I need to look at each Satchel upgrade and see the specific ingredients.

 

In Horizon Zero Dawn they had a menu system where you selected an animal or flower that you needed, and it automatically created a "mini-mission" for you to go and collect it. I wonder if RDR2 could have something similar.

 

Because, the way it seems is that he draws animals on the map to indicate where you can hunt them.

I think the ones that are drawn on the map are actually the legendary ones. 

 

But yeah the hunting is kinda confusing. I ended up just googling it, there's a good guide on YouTube to get the last satchel...whcih requires you to create the other six but it lets you carry 99 of every item apparently. 

 

 

[Boss 70]

once you deliver the ingredients to Pearson or the Trapper for your respective items, they will then be able to craft them for you.

 

yes...it's probably a good idea to check out the requirements.  or hoard all the damn animals you can!
