| <br>As for Red Dead Redemption II , it has been reading Arthur and John’s journal. Every time I boot up this four-state-sized map filled with details, missions, and content out the wazoo, the very first thing I do is hold left on the D-Pad and read.<br>In Red Dead Redemption 2 Rockstar attempted to take that statement and remove the mocking tone, presenting the fall of Dutch Van der Linde and the dissolution of his gang as a great tragedy, much like the death of the Old West. They found a way to turn the bad into good, and even then not so convincingly.<br><br> <br>Also, with a white flag hoisted in your camp, no one can attack. But they can see you and wanna kill you, so do what we do. Set up a camp near Saint Denis (high population, high traffic), and then go cook yourself dinner (in real life, in your actual kitchen) and come back to check now and then that 23 players are circling, waiting for you to tear down camp, lasso in hands. After about 30 minutes, they will wander off, one by one, and you will feel oddly satisfied inside that you wasted their time while not wasting your <br><br> <br>Some wise online players figured out that sometimes (not all times), if you are crouched cooking, griefers actually cannot stop the cooking animation and they can't seem to be able to harm or lasso you while you are in the proc<br>Yes, Fortnite is on my Top 10 list. No, I have no regrets. I'm putting it on this list less because of it being a good game (it's pretty good, to be honest) but more because of the game's significance this year and the impact it made on my life. I played Fortnite on the day they released the Battle Royale mode last year, purely because consoles (at the time) didn't have a battle royale game due to PUBG being on PC originally. I found that it was decent, but never would I have imagined the absolute influence it would gain.<br><br>The greatest violation comes when you meet Rain Falls, a Native American chief, in Saint Denis. Having briefly encountered him during a party at the mayor's house, he now seeks your aid to help obtain documents that report an oil reservoir underneath the reservation land. Arthur is, as usual, unwilling to help out until one of them offers payment in return. However it isn't until he begins to compare the persecution his gang faces to the persecution the Native Americans face as somehow equal that he really begins to show his true character.<br><br> <br>This is another really simple method that new online gamers or people new to Red Dead don't know, but people are killing and hunting you because you are a giant dot on their menu (and a [https://www.reddeadinsider.com/ Red Dead Redemption 2 PS4] one in PVP). But did you know that if you crouch when you run, it makes you a small, passive, gray dot on the mini-<br><br>By the time I reached Arthur's final decision, one in which you can once again engage in a contradiction by attempting to steal the gang's stash instead of aiding John Marston in his escape, I was already finished. Arthur's death was just another bump in the road in discovering what exactly the epilogue held, as the mystery over who you would play as was much greater than seeing the closing scenes of a character I was done with many hours before.<br><br>When I entered the kid's room though, I found him crying underneath his bed. When I went to take the cigarette cards, he began pleading with me to leave them as they were all that he had left from his mother. I, as Arthur, killed him in cold blood, thinking it was mercy to spare him a life with a mother gone and a father dead. While I was greatly affected by this, Arthur was unmoved, never uttering a word during the event and never writing about it afterwards. Rockstar saw fit to create unique dialogue for that situation, but not to create a response in Arthur to it. This may just be oversight, but it presented the character as unmoved by the killing he does, despite what he may say to Tilly or Mary-Beth at camp, and what he may write in his journal afterward.<br><br> <br>You need to eat to survive, this is not debatable. Should you stop eating for long enough, your stats will decrease and you’ll find it incredibly difficult to have enough stamina to get around anywhere. Did you think we meant real life?

Well, mainly, it adds a handy-dandy map to the tent (or, more specifically, somewhere in the base near Arthur’s tent). Take a look at it, and you’ll be able to pick a destination from a handy list of places you’ve already visited. Simply pick somewhere, then, after the obligatory transitional scene, there you are. It’s that e<br><br>"Oh no," you say: we're entering Sony territory - and with a bang, as one of the most gorgeous games of this year is Detroit: Become Human . Detroit was a huge step forward from the previous titles from Quantic Dream and David Cage, and a game where choices actually changed the story. From the days of Telltale Games and Life is Strange emerges a game where the choices you make surprisingly matter, and the game lets you view what could've happened instead. I loved when I checked the choice map at the end of a scene and realized everything that mattered. Except for saving that goldfish at the start - that made no difference whatsoever.<br> | | <br>But then the divine intervention goes one step further and he just so happens to meet up with Dutch and the rest of the gang, who were conveniently chilling out nearby. This isn't really a plot hole, but it's still a highly suspicious plot contrivance that reeks of writer intervention rather than natural storytell<br><br>It was finding all of the Riddler trophies in Batman: Arkham Knight . For Breath of the Wild , it was completing all the shrines before facing Ganon. In The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt , my favorite part of the game were its fascinating side quests, especially the boxing matches in each region: that all culminated in fighting Skellige’s champion, a straight up bear. All of these goals bubble up and become the most memorable parts of these grandiose games to me.<br><br>Tetris Effect is a gem of an experience. With incredible, entrancing visuals that make you feel like you're in either the next Star Wars combined with a mixture of audio that flies around your brain and sucks you into the dreamscape, Tetris Effect is a masterpiece. Each movement subtly synchronizes itself with the music playing in the background, with the BPM adapting to your placements and rotations. For something as simple as Tetris , this game really puts an Effect on you.<br><br>"I know this isn't much of a source, but I do actually remember when this was posted. I lurk on the sub a lot, and I pretty clearly remember this getting posted and a lot of people shitting on it because it sounded ridiculous. This was well before the initial announcement and might have been a similar time to when the map leaked? But I do very clearly remember reading this post, being weirded out by the mare birthing minigame, being disappointed (and a bit put off) by the "development hell" claim, and being confused by what "vertical slice" meant."<br><br> <br>So why doesn't Dutch just send one of the ladies to fetch the stash of money? After all, Grimshaw is one of the most respected and loyal members of the gang, and it's clear by the end of the game that she has the gang's best interests at heart. She would gladly travel to Blackwater and would never think of taking the money for hers<br><br>Yes, Fortnite is on my Top 10 list. No, I have no regrets.

It has a ton of stamina and health, sometimes the Arabian horse has even more health than you do, which is insane. It seems crazy to me that your freaking horse has more health than you; stamina and speed are to be expected, but health, really?

Rockstar is not so evil where players who refuse to give into microtransactions will be barred from progress. You’ll need to dedicate some time, of course, but there are some surprisingly easy methods for money making online. Some are even deceptively simple, making use of ideas that almost seem too obvious to work. That’s the beauty of any online world, though- sooner or later, players will discover the most optimal ways of progression through trial and error, and teamwork.

I started off the year at various other outlets before eventually branching out into writing about Fortnite . __ Writing about this game actually allowed me to open up my experiences in games writing, and I actually ended up here at DualShockers because of it. I'm happy at the journey this game allowed me to take, and the memories I'll have because of it. As much as it can suck sometimes waking up early in the morning to write about patch notes, it gives me the motivation to keep going and not just lay in bed all day. Thank you, Fortnite . You can suck it if you blindly hate this game. That's my two cents.<br> |
