The best part was that we completely forgot it was there, so the moment we load in we get Peter running at us saying “I’m a Jehovah’s Witness”

My friend has Arbiter currently as his Steam PFP, and we both said if we do another run through a campaign soon we need to find him an Arbiter mod

I’m in the same boat. I gott just to the end on launch and then stopped. I hope to finish it this time, because it’s a really fun game

The fishing is so much fun. I’ve legit gathered a group of 4 in the past just so we can chill out and fish

I bought the first one last year and played a bit. It gave me L.A. Noire meets lovecraft vibes

Yeah. Adding onto the Undead Nightmare one, i just don’t feel like it would fit the vibe of Red Dead 2. As much as i’d love another one, Red Dead 2 feels like it takes itself a bit more seriously than the first one. i’m not really sure what it is, but i’m just not sure an Undead Nightmare would fit at all.

Any game that lets me pet dogs or cats earns an instant point in my book. It’s such a trivial detail but one that really makes my day

All the time it spent in the oven was definitely good for it. There’s very few games i feel like i can say feel the same way as what you describe.

I’ve heard some really compelling ideas to continue Red Dead Redemption either spiritually (as in with a different or slight altered cast) or literally (take Jack at the end of 1 and do something with it or tell a prequel story to RDR2). I’m really hoping Rockstar does make a 3, the franchise is too amazing to let it just die like that.

Recently i have a fancy gaming PC to handle all the heavy work loads. Before that though (as in last january), i was limited to my Steam Deck as my only gaming device. The thing i learned then is that the hard part is finding a good balance between resolution and Graphic Levels.

This isn’t formal advice from an expert or anything (i’m a Computer Science student who learned this stuff by messing with it), but I’d also advise to stay away from anything like DLSS and FSR unless you need them or you can drive them at high resolutions. They are kind of like AI upscaling for your game from what i know. If you have a low powered device, it’s a miracle worker but it also muddys the picture. I’ve also heard people say this same thing about TAA, but i don’t know about that one.

If you’re doing screenshots on steam i’d also advice going into settings, and telling it to save screenshots as an uncompressed copy. Steam will save it as a JPG which can crunch the hell out of it.

Another thing though is that i’ve noticed that when i do these screenshots it looks a lot better then what they look like in gameplay, so that’s something i’d keep in mind too

That’s definitely the vibe i was getting towards the end when i first tried to play through. It felt like it was dragging on a bit. I almost wonder if all the cut content would have made it drag on longer or if it would help with the pacing

There’s a ton to do in it. Every time i go through i feel like i discover a new thing just walking around

Really basic, but Mario Kart DS specifically. The gameplay does not do it for me, but the way it sounds coming out of the DS’s Speakers sounds amazing. Though, Mario Kart 64 & Wii are probably really close for me out of sheer nostalgia.

360 was originally how i played growing up until my Launch Model 360 Red Ringed. Me and my Sister would stay up for hours building the stupidest shit. Before we knew it, time had gone by and it was 3 in the morning

It’s very easy to lose track of time with it. While we were playing splitscreen it felt like it had only been a few hours, but turned out to have been 6

I keep hearing that Reach wasn’t very popular on launch and I just don’t get how. It’s a perfect Halo game. To be honest. If Halo had to end. I think Reach would have been the perfect way to do it.

For sure lol. I’m definitely the calmest out of my friend group and I think even I would get a little ticked off at the game if we had to restart a whole level. So definitely making sure the friends I recruit to help know what they’re getting into

I’m looking forward to doing LASO with my friends, i’ve already got two of them recruited to help. The customization of your character sticking to your Noble Six definitely makes it more fun too. So instead of 4 master chiefs or Master Chief, Arbiter, and two Elites, it feels more like it’s actually you and your friends.

Somehow i managed to cheese the Halo CE one. What i think happened was that the conditions to check are just checking if the level is beat with Anti-Cheat on, and then just checking what the highest difficulty done is (with anti-cheat not included in the equation). I recently have been playing with one of my younger siblings through the entire Master Chief Saga and we’ve made it through CE and half of 2, so i’m assuming that ticked the boxes for Condition 1. So as of today my Halo MCC service record says i have played through the entirety of it on legendary!

Damn on the Falcon though. I have have just recently started being able to tell ghosts and banshees apart. Me and my friend had to come with a whole ass mnemonic device for it (“ghost goes on ground”). I’ll definitely have to go back and look at the Pelican Easter egg though. Halo has had some of my favorite Easter Eggs to date.

I’m guessing the wild zones are meant to be there to help shake things up. i’m still cautious about it though because there’s only so many variations i feel like you could do with the concept of “city”
