technically the only money we get is from the jobs in the main story

2 is a prequel so, they limited themselves slightly anyways by having a predetermined outcome to have to have happen
frigid jolt
The only time Iโve ever team wiped by myself
tame cairn
that is an insane statement
inland oasis
not saying id change that
tame cairn
lmao
tame cairn
its not true at all, the only thing "predetermined" is literally the end
everyone splitting up
tame cairn
yes thats not what the game is about
thankfully
its about the journey, not the end
i dont play or watch something for the end only lol
we knew how it ended
doesnt change the fact that the story is amazing
because of the journey
not the ending
inland oasis
i never said anything about it being bad. its like i attacked the game
tame cairn
i just think you saying they limited themselves because of the ending
is not true
because once again, the game isnt about the ending of it
inland oasis
i knew before i started rdr2 that the gang was going to split up, and john by himself
that limits the ending a little since that HAS to happen
for it to make sense
tame cairn
i think most of us did
inland oasis
if there was no number 1 theyre wouldve a completely open ended option
thats why i said limited
tranquil glen
I played the proluge and that was it LOL didnt seem fun to me and ive kinda known the story via yt short
tame cairn
im sorry
inland oasis
its not that long of a story if your focusing on just that
tame cairn
yea but just zooming through the story won't let you experience this living breathing world
restive tusk
it doesn't make much sense with the plot either, since the whole thing is supposed to take a few months
yea, it's kinda designed for you to stop around and enjoy the world
tame cairn
i wish more people took time with games, instead of trying to just complete it
inland oasis
story is supposed to be the meat n potatoes of the game. the main course. if someone isnt enjoying that i can see why theyd not wanna even take the time and just zoom thru.
I for one cannot keep myself from being distracted in that game. i love it.

there's still a big divide between Arthur simps, VS john simps

give us john! rahhh!

they're both great but
inland oasis
love em both

ppl hate how they made John look in RDR2 lol.
inland oasis
john is always john
tame cairn
ppl hate how they made John look in RDR2 lol.
i couldnt even see anything wrong tbh
he just looked HD lmao
restive tusk
johnny is always dumb gullible johnny
inland oasis
like he was just younger in rdr2. literally couldnt tell he was any different whatsoever
restive tusk
Arthur hits differently
inland oasis
thats a good thing
i hate when games make quirky changes to characters
just cuz its a new game
tame cairn
javier is very different to how he is in rdr1
inland oasis
but bill aint xD
tame cairn
and his actor in rdr2 wanted to side with arthur
inland oasis
its all balanced
tame cairn
but they couldnt
restive tusk
javier is very different to how he is in rdr1
javier was changed by the events in RDR2 end.
It made sense
tame cairn
(obviously)
inland oasis
arthur turned some of the gang to good people
those who stayed with dutch went rotten
inland oasis
or, if ur just a dick version of arthur, even still, the story makes him a generally "good" guy
morally
kinda
idk
theyre all kinda fucked morally
๐
tame cairn
yeah i just cant see how rdr1 would be a better game compared
the amount to do in rdr2 is just
insane
restive tusk
People get stuck in notions of nostalgia, imo
inland oasis
nostalgia. sure. gameplay. sorry, im with ya, having MORE and upgraded versions....i just cant agree the old is better

and being resistent to new changes to a loved world
tame cairn
and 2 just has a better story
tame cairn
a better journey, i think
inland oasis
idk how to put into words, could just be cuz i was younger then so how i feel now about #2 is how i felt then
tame cairn
1 is good, but seeing everyone and how they were compared to 2. it makes 1 so much better
so because of that i have to make 2 better imo
like, rdr2 makes 1's story better after knowing and actually being attached to these characters that john is killing
so i have to say 2 is better
inland oasis
1 is good, but seeing everyone and how they were compared to 2. it makes 1 so mu...
im backwards. after playing 2 i went back to see how they were in 1 again
and having john kill em with the nice version of em fresh in my head felt horrible
inland oasis
it emotionally stuck with me that way more xD
tame cairn
but it cant be denied that arthur is waaay better than people thought he was going to be
inland oasis
like man john LIVED this with these people
tame cairn
and his character + ending just makes sense
inland oasis
dont say micah
tame cairn
lenny and arthur are the ultimate duo

inland oasis
i feel like theyre the ones pulling those feelings BACK into one with them and sayin 1 is better cuz of it xD
i kinda wish they went the multiple ending route, like obv all still leading to the outcome of rdr1, but like, idk diff ways of it. i HATE ||that arthur always dies|| not a single ending where idk maybe he just bounces, moves on. idk. gets killed by someone, or arrested, or ANYTHING BUT ||DEAD|| XD ๐ฆ
inland oasis
yea, that time period the meds didnt exist iirc
inland oasis
yea itd be a big retcon
tame cairn
they had to make a new character
inland oasis
they wouldnt do that
tame cairn
its funny cuz Johns actor
said he spent more time on rdr2 than rdr1 and he wasnt even a main character
haha
inland oasis
does make me wanna go back and skim EVERYTHING in rdr1 just to see if even a name once is mentioned. but nah. im confident he wasnt even a thought flowing through someones brain at the time
tame cairn

"You've forgotten far more important people than me"
they probably had a character planned, just no name
inland oasis
really makes you really think and wonder just how deep and long this goes. like from the very TOP of the top devs and what theyd know
and i dont even mean like secrets. i mean like, when it all started as an idea, wheres the vault of "ideas" this game had cuz theres just such good lore
just logged onto rdr2 SP. soawned in, dead 3star muskie just floated up ashore. xD yoink
its gon be a good day arthur

Myth of Empires must be old hat or something. Connecting with others, virtually impossible.
The official servers have this weird system that migrates them to smaller clusters if they lose too much prosperity
Basically servers auto migrate based on active population
Almost every server in the north american listing of official servers has a prosperity of less than 20 out of 100
and a population of less than 10....
and nobody online rn that I saw when I logged into em
It's a really fucked up way to run shit, but I get it.
They must think people will migrate rather than quit the game after building on a map
....only to see all their hard work destroyed due to server metrics
and to think ontop of selling the game, they're selling dlc
Glad I got the game on sale. It's dead on arrival...and not because it isn't fun.
So....yeah. Play it solo or with friends.

They thought they would fix it all with this reboot, but the main problem is sill present. And the great disconnect between the devs and European/American players is still there

I've played a couple hours of Tarisland. I can say very confidently it feels like an on rails mobile game
You can't even customize your character. You look the same from start to end of the game unless you buy or find costume skins which change your entire appearance.
Find as in achievements in elite dungeons
It was not fun.
I don't know where they get it's like World of Warcraft
The only similarities are art style and that it's a point and click combat system
Half the voice lines cut off mid dialogue
So that's fun to see in a cut scene
voice acting and then dead silence while the characters mouth moves
It could be forgiven if the community were more engaging and less sweat lordy
Chat is full of people calling for groups to do dungeons
Constantly, spamming
They're either bots or players with no lives
I've seen less bot like behavior in games where you can buy gold from third party grey markets
I guess what I'm trying to say is: I don't recommend Tarisland for story or combat or social elements or gameplay....or anything really. It's not even worth taking up space on a hard drive.
...and if someone tries to tell me that someone worked hard on that game, I'm call bullshit.
I've seen higher quality acting and animation in a SFM short

AC Syndicate was gud and deserved to get a next gen update like Origins and Odyssey did
tame cairn
the game that officially ended it all
syndicate would be good, if the parkour was utilized even a little bit
its somehow a downgrade from Unity
even though its the same system
austere lance
Everything has been a downgrade from unity, lol

tame cairn
yeah but syndicate is literally, the same system as Unity
which is debatably the best parkour
yet its terrible in syndicate

I just liked how Syndicate was an actual Assassin game and gave you Hitman style missions for taking out big targets
tame cairn
didnt Unity do that?
austere lance
Not quite the same
tame cairn
I just liked how Syndicate was an actual Assassin game and gave you Hitman style...
its an "actual assassin game"
- the thing these assassins do is reduced to 100ft gaps on a wire like batman but somehow hanging from the arm
austere lance
Unity was like "Go through the roof or sneak through the tunnels", while Syndicate went straight Hitman and did shit like let you pose as a dead body to get close to a Templar working at a university ๐
tame cairn
in unity you could take the approach differently to missions tho
i remember one in a tunnel you could cover the vents and make it smokey inside and reduce vision
basically the same stuff
and i just hate the grapple with a passion
100ft vertical buildings with 100ft gaps just isnt good gameplay
unless ur batman
austere lance
Unity combat and stealth just felt clunky to me, Syndicate felt more smooth
tame cairn
then you can glide and stuff
syndicate is also the worst combat
glad they only used it for one game
free flow combat in ac is insane
austere lance
Syndicate combat was just AC 4 combat, lol
frigid yarrow
tame cairn
its literally arkham combat lol
syndicate is nothing like 4
and vice versa
it wishes
a bunch of little pokes and punches and stabs to kill somebody is just embarassing tbh
you felt so weak
tame cairn
Unity combat and stealth just felt clunky to me, Syndicate felt more smooth
i can agree on the smoothness but that doesnt make syndicate better for me
also ac unity's combat is actually a bit challenging, it was almost perfect
they took the almost perfect AC game, Unity. and reduced it to bare bones, is how I see syndicate
everyone loved the parkour in Unity, then you just take it away to be wannabe batman
If Syndicate had Unity's world design and a bit of a better story it would be a great game though
its literally the world design that gets me (and the combat) its just not made well or with parkour in mind, like every AC game before it
with the one right before it possibly having the best.

Im afraid to get soulmask. It's going to turn into another Nightingale or Myth of Empires with players flooding it for a few weeks to a couple months and then dropping out in droves leaving a vacuous hole in their wake.

It's not just a detective game. You also get to decorate your detective apartment...and the world is procedural so you can swap worlds until you get the perfect apartment view for you

Ngl, The First Decedent is the first mmorpg game that Nexon has done without mobile platforms.
Itโs obvious theyโve played safe and stuck with whatโs already been done.
The visuals and gameplay are cool, but more can be done to give it uniqueness.
Its story is ok at best, too much exposition.
Overall it might actually be successful if they keep going and make some unique stuff.

You'll unlock all the screens as you build, but the sizes between the vertical rectangle ones are the very same
