76. I've done most of Ariandel except for Sister Friede.Continue on to Ringed City or Ariandel? What SL are you?

Have you tried her out yet? She's gonna fuck your world up. That fight is so insane.76. I've done most of Ariandel except for Sister Friede.
Once lol. She skewered me like a hotdog and I noped the hell outHave you tried her out yet? She's gonna fuck your world up. That fight is so insane.
And that's just the beginning of that fight. It just goes on and on and on. One of those bosses where you actually get worse the more you try, because you're so demoralized. I'm not as patient as others, though. It's not impossible, but my God is it a bit much.Once lol. She skewered me like a hotdogs and I noted the hell out
Fallout 4
Tried out the update. You can definitely feel the FPS difference. It's noticeably faster. That's about it, though. It might just be me, but I've noticed the voice syncing with some characters are a bit off now too. Nothing big, but there's a slight delay, like the sound is a few milliseconds off of the animations. Some of the lighting feels a bit off too. I'm guessing that's a consequence of the technical upgrade.
That said, I'm right back into it. Still have some big chunks of DLC to finish up, and I'm hooked all over again on the settlement building.
If you have the itch, I'd give FO4 another try since you're already used to F76. They play very similar(unless you're just in it for the multiplayer mayhem). It's also not uncommon to have a bit of a negative first impression of FO4, so don't let that turn you off too much. It can take a bit for it to work it's magic and sink it's hooks into you.I'm tempted to boot up another Fallout.
I played the hell out of 3 and 76.
I tried Fallout NV but I didn't get far (mighty have been burnt out on 3) and the beginning of 4 rubbed me the wrong way for some reason.
76 may not be great story-wise, but it's a lot of fun as a casual drop in, kill shit, drop out type of game...
It's about time somebody else around here recognized the greatness that is RDR2. I have absolutely no idea at how this game became so divisive. I can understand some nitpicks here and there, but the game itself in unrivaled by any other open world world sandbox out there. It'll continue to surprise you after the 200 hour mark. To this day, people are still finding little secrets and gameplay mechanics. It's arguably the greatest game ever made, and from a pure technical standpoint, it easily is.So I've been taking my time with RDR2.
I'm still in what I would consider to be chapter 3, in Lemoyne with the Greys and the Braithwaites. I found this pair of circus people who had lost their "animals". A donkey painted to look like a zebra, a dog with a makeshift mane that they called a "lion", and a cougar they painted to look like a tiger.
So when they asked me to track down the last animal, another "lion", Arthur lazily went to Emerald station where they'd trapped it in a barn. I went in and-- it was an actual damned lion. It tore out of there and killed like three or four horses in less than ten seconds. Had the dead-eye showdown with it and got myself a trophy.
It was hilarious, tense, engaging and just fun. I'm hoping they port RDR1 to this engine because wow
I don't know for sure but... I think... I THINK... there are aliens in this gameIt's about time somebody else around here recognized the greatness that is RDR2.

There are some interesting moments involving comets and flying saucers you may or may not discover...I don't know for sure but... I think... I THINK... there are aliens in this game
Are you talking about "Dead Eye" in general, or just those dumb "showdowns"? I still don't know what to do in those things. Dead Eye is simple. You click the button and it goes slow-mo for a bit where you mark your targets. Those showdowns, though...I have no idea. I just light them up, because I got frustrated trying to figure it out legit. There's like a five second explanation on what you're supposed to do on your first one, but I never really figured it out. Every time I tried following the very brief instructions, I just got killed. It's weird, because you can easily win every single showdown by just marking the shit out of them and shooting them before the timer runs out, so it doesn't even give you a sense that you're playing it wrong, even though you are.My only gripes:
1) I don't understand Dead-Eye. The little tutorial says to "Slowly" pull the right trigger button, and that the more slowly you pull it, the more time you have. Should I just mouse and keyboard it? Anybody have any guidance?
Is it worth it to try to go after the legendary animals? So... early in the game I went with Hosea. We found this big-ass Grizzly. He went back to camp and I decided to track it.Are you talking about "Dead Eye" in general, or just those dumb "showdowns"? I still don't know what to do in those things. Dead Eye is simple.

It's a very weird mechanic, and even in the original game it was a bit confusing. One of my few gripes with the game.
Anyways, good to see that you're recognizing the greatness. It just keeps giving. I never hit a point where I thought I've seen everything. I've beaten it twice and have around 250 hours of playtime, and I know there's still a bunch of stuff I haven't seen. It's the peak in modern open world game design that hasn't been touched since. It's so good.
Depends on how much you value cosmetics(with some upgrades that are pretty much irrelevant). That's really all it's for. None of the side activities and the perks they offer, are all that important to complete the game. It's just something to do to check boxes and get some nifty items and clothing. You won't ever be in danger of being under-powered for the game if you ignore them.Is it worth it to try to go after the legendary animals? So... early in the game I went with Hosea.

I'm more a detractor of the game – so one of those guys Heretic mentioned as being in the 'other' camp to him.Is it worth it to try to go after the legendary animals? So... early in the game I went with Hosea. We found this big-ass Grizzly. He went back to camp and I decided to track it.
I cannot believe how fast that thing was. I... KIND of saw it. I started getting my weapon ready and it charged and must have covered 50 meters in less than two seconds. It ripped my head off and I haven't tried since
