Sorry for the double post, but I DID play something new this week: The demo for the Casting of Frank Stone.

LOVED IT.

It’s a narrative horror game and those tend to be out of my price range at the start, because I only buy a game if I get at least an hour of play time per dollar spent, but still, it’s spooky and fantastic.

theangriestbird,

Make sure you wishlist it! That really helps out games that haven’t come out yet. I didn’t even know Supermassive was making this one, it looks neat!

RememberTheApollo_, do games w RuneScape is increasing their membership price by 50%, and Reddit is trying to censor it

A lot of the gaming subs on Reddit suck. Especially /gaming, but not all of them. They’re full of industry shills and “git gud kid” types, and don’t you dare criticize anything the hive mind is softballing like a gaming magazine review.

EatATaco,

Wait, is this is a joke? While I agree there is a lot of “get gud,” the bulk of the rest of it is dumb memes, and beyond that it’s people whining about every little thing. The whiners far out number any shills.

You’ll be cut loose before too long.

You need to complete the entire story to get to the bottom left of the map, the rest opens up during act 2.

The entire story? Like complete the entire game once?

nul9o9,

It’s part of the epilog.

rtxn,

There’s a portion of the map where you and the gang are wanted dead or alive because of the ferry heist. Entering it for most of the game will get you a maximum wanted level, headhunters will show up, and eventually the game kills you. That restriction is lifted in the final act.

The world opens up once you get out of the snow and settle down in the Horseshoe Overlook camp. You’ll still have linear story missions to do, but you can start those whenever you feel like, and explore as much as you want.

miseducator,

Holy shit! Spoiler tag for my boy, plz!

NocturnalMorning,

That’s not really much of a spoiler

rtxn,

It’s all information that is given to the player during the prologue, or otherwise vague enough where one can’t reasonably guess the events.

Not unless you point and call it a spoiler.

After you beat the story you can go to the area from the first game as a fun little bonus. The main area of the game opens up in chapter 2 after about 4 missions

The guided part does take a bit to get through, but it sets you free pretty soon after you’re out of the snow.

It’s very much worth it, in my opinion. It continues to ruin many other games for me.

Yeah, after replaying a couple of times idk why but the training area felt very locked in and long, but really it’s only 3 missions.

I'm two missions away from the end in Alien: Isolation. This weirdly enough has been one of the most difficult playthroughs that I've done of this game. I accidentally soft locked myself while in the reactor area and spent waaay too much time in that area. But I'm finally passed it, so I hope things go a little smoother to the end.

I loved the atmosphere and general gameplay, but HATED how they reused so many of the areas, some multiple times.

I hope we get another one someday, but with more work put into the level design.

Took me about 5 hours to get through the winter intro story that is linear before it gets to being the open world. Not sure if that was slow or not, but it was a bit longer than I would have preferred.

dan1101, do games w rdr2 question

As others have said, it does set you free eventually. Takes too long IMO. The world is really nice and beautiful. I never got totally on board with the control scheme and UI.

Once you make it to Valentine (youll know when) the game pretty much gives you the reigns, but until then, as others have said, the tutorial is pretty long and guided

NocturnalMorning, do games w rdr2 question

Yes, the game gets much better. If you want something totally “open world” there’s an online game mode too.

Shard,

Too bad RDR2 online is dead and abandoned by the devs

NocturnalMorning,

Yeah, I tried it for the first time the other day, seemed a little too open. I wasn’t even sure what I was supposed to do. Encountered one single player in the hour I was online playing it.

False, do games w Anyone else feels like rdr2 have no bad missions?

I thought the game was pretty dull. Too much slowly walking/riding in what’s basically an interactive cutscene

More of the new World of Warcraft Expansion. I’ve leveled four characters to 80 now, and equipped two of them. My Monk and Paladin are basically “done” for now, and I’m kinda waiting for the higher difficulty stuff. Next week I’ll focus on gearing my two other characters, a Mage and a Druid. While the Monk is definitely my favorite to play, the Paladin and Mage aren’t too far behind. Only the Druid is a bit underwhelming, since stuff just dies too fast right now, and I need to apply DoTs to anything to do any real damage (Balance spec).

I’m 40 hours into Persona 3 Reload. This is my first Persona game, and I’m enjoying it a lot. It was recommended to me after I got deeply into the two most recent Like a Dragon games, which I enjoyed immensely.

I’m having a good time with Persona 3 too. I’m playing it on easy and just enjoying the experience. I think I would have burned out on it about 20 hours ago if I was playing on a higher difficulty level and getting my ass beat in every boss fight. I wasn’t sure I would be into it with the high school setting, but that turned out to not be an issue.

I fully intend on playing it as far as rolling credits.

ramble81, do games w rdr2 question

I’d say wait for Chapter 2 and then go have fun.

LostWanderer, do games w Anyone else feels like rdr2 have no bad missions?

I feel like the missions are pretty good for the most part; I’m pretty far in but have yet to actually play more since a frustrating random encounter. I do find the unskippable skinning cutscenes and little too long animations for doing something a bit trying. Also, the bug where Arthur will stow all but his sidearms and main weapon after riding the horse for a few minutes. When you dismount, you’ve got to re-equip every time. This issue is fixed in multiplayer though, but sadly to this day unfixed in single-player. These are really my only gripes, as Rockstar did a good job of approximating the feel of the late 1800s in the USA.
