And then there are those like me who are a bit navigationally challenged and have to set a waypoint to get from the Rhodes butcher to the Rhodes post office.

Hi all. After 10 months in hiding the High Fives are back in business and looking for new riders. Looking to try all new content; level up (lvl60 atm); mixture of defensive/offensive play; run missions; role-play etc. I’m smudger691 so either add me or join posse in Posse recruitment section. I’m in PS4 btw

Welcome back!.

I like that 😄

Here it changes. They say if you don't like the weather here, just stay around and will change. Lol.

The Console and PC is still the best. Little puzzle games are fine on the phone. Edit: Started playing Star Trek on the ipad over Christmas while everyone else was talking 😅

Meh..... Some of what he says has merit IMO but not all. As for growing up during the birth of the industry, he missed out on at least a decade of it. Those of us 50+ who were into that sort of thing would understand. I spent many a day in arcades playing pinball and some of the first video games. ......then first the consoles and PCs as they began to become mainstream. The fact is, while I have fond memories of some games from the past, most simply can't compare to some of the titles from today in relation to complexity and quality. Sure, some companies are becoming complacent and paying the price for it (e.g. Ubi with GR: Breakpoint). .....but not all. IMO, there is nothing wrong with GaaS if done properly and R* sets a benchmark in this regard. This is where I think he is completely wrong. R* wasn't complacent in throttling back their release of new games. They chose to spend years developing and refining their more recent titles and it shows. The idea was to create great games (a solid foundation) and continue to grow them by releasing new, free content. There's nothing lazy about it in this case and as much as some want to vilify MTXs, they are what keeps the content coming even for those that never buy into transactions. I'm not saying there are not examples of badly executed MTX models out there. .....there are plenty, but he paints things with a pretty broad brush. When a game has great bones, I don't necessarily want that to change or have to wait for a sequel to get new content. I'm ok with them building on that instead. I could go on....... Seems his experiences have mostly been with consoles. Those of us who had been PC gamers even since the early days can remember what it was like to deal with bugs, patches, etc. .....but yeah, cartridge games were more reliable although quite simplistic back then. Personally, while I don't condone devs releasing unfinished games, I do like that they have the ability to patch, update, deliver new content, etc. on modern consoles similar to how PCs have always been. There is an advantage there. All in all, I don't think the state of gaming is as bad as he makes it out to be.

Oh yes, lol. But so far it has been on the warmer side with no rain.

For me, I grew up gaming on consoles. I don't think I would be able to play Grand Theft Auto or a game like Red Dead Redemption on a cell phone and have the same experience. I'm glad mobile gaming is introducing so many people to a world of gaming!.

yes, sadly R* wants you finish mission as fast as possible in SP but as slow as possible online. the clouser to the limit the more cash and xp you get.(this allso goes for stranger missions) what the thresholds are idk but some1 prolly does.

Sony claimed the PS Vita's downfall was due to the Mobile gaming thing. A phone fits neatly into your bag or pocket. If one is removed by a cutting torch we always have a back up hidden in our knickers. You couldn't hide a console though 🙃😛🤭

It drags on doesn't it 😂

It's because getting the phone out of a girl's hand usually requires a cutting torch.

Glad things got sorted for you and you were able to keep your gold. Just stick to forming posses with people you know or you can join one on here. Better to be safe than sorry.

I will join you in hibernation. Not really a fan of winter myself. Not much to do where I am until it starts to warm up again.

My plans are to keep traveling.
