This has been the best take I’ve seen on my issue with the game so far. Cuz you’re right, I’m not super hot on open world games. Saying that, I did indeed take the whole experience as a learning moment but the game in general just didn’t keep my interest afterwards. That was just the most memorable part of the game in my brief time trying it out.

And look, while I completely understand that not every game is gonna hand hold (I honestly prefer they don’t), I do expect some sort of in-game example or…hell, even some side dialogue saying that could happen that could still be fully in-world and immersive. The game is huge, it’s gonna have some flaws here and there, and at the end of the day it just wasn’t for me. And me having an issue with a small part of the game has clearly rubbed some people the wrong way, and me the wrong way in their response.

Look, on one hand I see your point, but on the other it’s a fuckin game and tutorials are a thing. Except apparently when they aren’t. It’s the wild west, by the amount of people that were shooting at me afterwards it’s clear just about everyone carries a gun so…not sure what your point there is either. Contrary to popular belief, you can indeed be carrying a gun without the intent to use it on every person you have an interaction with. My intention? New town. Talk to NPCs. Stage coach rolls by and button prompt pops up to wave? I do. It pops up again? I do it again to see what happens, to see if the dialogue changes. Chaos ensues followed by a quick death that didn’t make sense to me right off the bat. Games can be flawed. I don’t have to love a beloved game just because people think I should.

I do believe I said it definitely isn’t the games fault for not telling me about a mechanic that would have me shot at and killed. We’ve already established that it’s absolutely my fault for not knowing something I wasn’t taught in-game before it happened. The game is without flaws. Perfect. 10 out of 10. Impossible for someone to have a bad time in without it being their own fault.

I did try a few times, died each time. So moved on for a bit but quickly lost interest in it sadly. I’m sure I’ll give it another shot down the road somewhere and get better enjoyment out of it then.

Thank you for actually giving me an answer to the mechanic behind this. Legitimately had no clue.

Ah yes, the game definitely isn’t the issue. I should have just known that hitting the prompt to wave to a passing by stagecoach twice in a row was against the law somehow. In a game I just started playing. Yep, definitely a skill issue.

The Death Stranding games are fantastic for immersing yourself into the world. I’ll also shout out Batman Arkham Night (second game in the series) as that’s one of the few games I’ve played in the past decade where once I beat it I just sat there in silence as the credits rolled…just…contemplating life. It was great.

First time playing RDR2, I waved at a dude on a carriage and asked him to stop. Next thing I knew I was being shot at by the sheriff. No idea why that would be considered bad or a punishable offense. Lost all interest in playing after that sadly. And it was like in the first town you get to visit in the game too.

Glad I’m not the only LOTR fan who totally missed this one. I thought I knew about and played nearly every semi-modern LOTR game out there but…I don’t remember this one at all until I saw the news about the legacy edition getting shadow dropped. I will indeed be giving it a go this time around that’s for sure.

Yucking fuck

After the amount of doom and gloom videos I was watching today all about flock and police surveillance…this is nice. It’s a least a step in the left direction

I have, and I have myself a good ol chuckle every time. Every. Time.

I often wonder if all these maga folks are just closeted gays, hating themselves so much that it spills over into hating everyone else so they never have to confront how they truly feel about needing a 🥺 big stwong man 🥺

My fish consumption has dropped dramatically since learning of this info (can’t cut it out entirely…be we try) and I do indeed spread the info as naturally as I can. So, agreed! It is indeed a great start.

Glad you finally learned what’s been suppressed all these years. Switching to paper straws was never the answer, only a distraction to keep the focus away from who really pollutes our waters. Same goes for any kind of pollutant. Ain’t nothing we can do on a personal level to make a real difference. Change has to happen at the industrial level.

Gotta say, good on your relative for actually doing her due diligence and coming out of it enlightened. Wish everyone would actually do even the barest of their own research or fact checking after being confronted…or even if not.

Thanks for the info! Fuck this artist!

Damn, that’s heartbreaking.

See, I had to take em so the older sibling couldn’t get rid of them lol like when he sold his entire Star Wars collection of figures and ships and creatures. I kept the AT-AT and Rancor since those were my favorite and I refused to let him sell them for pennies on the dollar.

I think most of what I’ve got are things I uh…borrowed and never returned from my brother, friends, and brother in law or copies that were made at LAN parties. Or saved from said brother/brother in law/friends when they were looking to get rid of them.
