    Red Dead Redemption 2

    Fair enough but it did venture into parody land and it's basically a meme at this point. That speaks volumes. But there was a point pretty early on where I was like, why the fuck are we drawing attention to ourselves YET again? Again, these are nitpicks, and I enjoyed the game enough to...

    The quizzical “ok” does the same, it’s like, are you stupid?

    Red Dead Redemption 2

    “Ok” and “Hey there mister!” may be two of my favorite pieces of spoken dialogue in a video game ever. I imitate it all the time with my wife and kids lol!

    Red Dead Redemption 2

    The mechanics/controls - I got used to them but they're clunky and stiff af. It's just like GTA etc but other games are doing it better, AC:O for example. The story - Just one more heist. I rolled my eyes every time I'd start a mission with a new character and then Dutch pops in...oh nevermind...

    Red Dead Redemption 2

    But Guarma! I really liked a lot about the game, and there’s some really great things about it but the masterpiece moniker is just too easily thrown around by some people. It’s really good, great even. But they fucked up too many things to be considered a masterpiece.

    Asshat of the Year 2018

    Goddamn you. I nominate FoH Forum Time magazine style. Also: @Cybsled for white knighting thots and white knighting in general. Oh and @Foler for being a lolfag cuz kids.

    Red Dead Redemption 2

    Guarma is an entire chapter so there's that. I haven't run into a time traveler or the flying saucer so there's that too. But something about injecting it right before the climax that just throws off the pacing. It felt like nothing more than padding and had zero impact on the overall story or...

    Pull the trigger. Even though I don’t have as much time as I used to, that makes the moments I do that much more enjoyable having a nice TV experience.

    Never played GTA Online. Thoughts on whether it’s worth hanging on to RDR2 instead of trading for something else?

    Red Dead Redemption 2

    Guarma was completely out of place and fucked with the pacing of the game. Could have been a fleshed out add on but didn’t understand it being where it was.

    Assassin's Creed Odyssey (Greece)

    I think I’ve said this here before but I feel like RDR2 is the better game/experience, but AC:O is definitely more fun to me in a 2001 vs. Star Wars way. I’m almost done with RDR2 and I probably won’t come back to AC:O but I still have Far Cry 5 in my back catalog. So many open world games and...

    Diablo Immortal

    I remember the guy at Software Etc telling me that it was a $10/month fee for UO. I was so interested but I was also broke af and I was like fuck that noise. My wife (girlfriend at the time) bought it for me for Valentine's Day and gave me $30 for 3 months worth of subscription because she saw...

    Red Dead Redemption 2

    I’m still making my way through, about 3/4 through Ch. 4. I’m not really bothering with the challenges or the hunting. Just doesn’t seem like enough reward for the effort and the sequential thing with the challenges is plain stupid. I really enjoy the story, I’m used to the controls and...

    Desktop Computers

    I have the 27” TN panel that was pretty popular for a while and is on sale for $349. I’m torn between adding a second 27” (that I think has great bang for the buck) or stepping up to the 34”. I feel like the 34” will have better immersion, better panel and less clutter in my desk. But 54” of...

    Is the Alienware 34” IPS panel still king of the monitor hill? It’s been hitting $800 and I might pull the trigger if it pops up BF. 34" Alienware AW3418DW Curved IPS LED Monitor w/ G-Sync $800 + Free Shipping Is there anything else that comes close with better bang for the buck or same price...

    The Walking Dead

    I don’t understand why this is a milestone. It’s 100% not reflective of reality (don’t fucking lecture me that zombies aren’t real) and it implies that the majority of relationships where people date and marry people that look like them is somehow inferior. What a crock of shit. I remember how...

    And then you trade it in anyway and get $100 -150 back for the next gen. Anyone not buying a PS4 right now is missing out on a virtual golden age of gaming right now.

    new Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 cards released

    $799 occasionally on Slickdeals which seems to be the new low for the 34 Alienware monitor. I’m waiting to see BF/CM deals but I expect something in that range.

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    Maybe that’s why I don’t need the trunk holster, I’m white collar so I don’t get much of the sticky-icky. But the non-holster version is super comfy and I haven’t had any issues. Cheap too.

    Red Dead Redemption 2

    Enjoying this more now that I’ve gotten used to the controls. I still think it’s a little punitive when things go sideways. I still think cores were a dumb idea and I still think they could have shortcutted a few things like crafting. Hitting X 300 times for a split point bullet is dumb. I’m...

    These are cheap and sound just as good as any of the Beats shit. I have the second pair listed and they work great and have a good charge on them and they're super affordable with tons of reviews. Edit: why do Amazon links show up on mobile but not Firefox?

    So I don't think I care for the dick hole. I prefer to ride concealed carry style and these are too elephant trunk style for me. I did however keep the regular trunks that were $17/4 pairs and they're mighty comfortable. Will be replacing my Saxx with these. Thanks for the "tip".

    Was playing some more today, did a few missions, I really enjoy the missions and I think it's helping my enjoyment of the game. As I was riding back to camp from one of the missions, I happened to notice some blood on the side of the trail and then followed it to it's end for a gruesome...

    I've been wearing Saxx for a while now but they're pretty pricey. Just ordered 3 packs of the trunks, see how they work out. Thanks for the heads up on the dick hole underwear.

    I mean I guess. But you’re talking to a board of people that slogged through EQ (myself included) and still loved it, flawed as it was. This is a broad market AAA title, not some niche game. I’m happy you love it, but it could have been much better and don’t blame it on The Vision, we’ve all...

    It would have been cool to learn smoke signals from some NAs and be able to call different services to your location like animal transport or travel services or something. The more cynical side of me thinks that Rockstar is going to sell QoL enhancements with online but I dunno.

    Red Dead Redemption 2

    This is a perfect fucking example: I want to play it out, I really do, but it’s just a hassle. And the answer is just quit and reload a save? I get it, I really do but that’s not good game design bros. Unless the intention of the game is to be a hassle? It’s not that the game isn’t fun, it can...
