  1. I've done the story, gained my 100% game completion and fairly close to completing the available stranger missions.  I'm more or less done with the game (my third play through, so I'm reticent about starting over again).

    So, what do you guys suggest I play next?  Next on my list is the next episode of Life is Strange II, but that won't last long.

    I don't do Online, so RDO doesn't really interest me that much.

  2. Hmmm. 

    The special lure can be picked up when you go on the trip with Jeremy after you get the invitation. From memory, the game prompts you to pick it up. 

    Youre no doubt aware that the Guama animals don’t count toward the zoologist and skin deep trophies. 

  3. Spoiler

    I believe that Arthur's death was completely central to the plot.  He needed something significant to lead him toward redemption in terms of paying for the sins of   Dutch's complete destruction of everything that the gang members wanted.

    A love interest would not have given us that connection - it's been done so many times that we don't have an emotional connection to that.  Besides, his interacts with his past love (especially the last one), was touch and sincere - having him simply move onto someone else wouldn't have been him.  I sure wouldn't have believed in him after that.  Recognizing his illness and prognosis was the final straw for him - he was driven after that to protect the ones he loved, and the ones who deserved to live and love after his departure.  There are obvious parallels with terminal cancer sufferers in our own day.

    It was brave of R* to go down this route.  It was brave of them to allow us to confront mortality on a far more emotional level than just being shot through with holes and living again until the end.

     

     

  4. I stopped with all that PC building stuff when it became apparent I had to buy new stuff whenever a new game came out - and all that stuff had to have more stuff so that it was all compatible (usually this meant a new case and everything else just to use the latest graphics card).

    So I bought an Atari ST, then an Amiga.  Then I started up an ANSI BBS.

    I'm facing problems to finish chapter 2. In my map I just have that mission in blackwater, where I still wanted dead or alive and cannot go there, they kill me in a few seconds. No other primary missions are in my map, just the other ones, like that to help the photographer.

    Yes, you can do this one.  This is the "The First Shall be the Last" mission.  Go to the marker on the map, it will be safe to go there and do the mission without being killed.  Just follow the route there and don't go anywhere else in the red zone.

  6. Yeah, I also used to build my own PCs.  I found out the hard way that a x486 CPU really does work a whole lot better with a heat-sink.

    Oh wow, I'm old enough to have a demeanor.

  7. Saying that female gamers might be a distraction for male gamers almost sounds as though the world would be better without female gamers.

    Which, of course, is absolutely wrong.

    I don't care whether gamers are male, female, non-binary, non-defining, gender-fluid, or wearing their grand-moms prom dress. I just don't care.

    Just play the game, shoot the bad guys, and show respect toward your fellow gamers (whether on-team or opposing).

    That's all I really want to see.

    However, Online gaming seems to be about 75% jackasses.

  8. I took a ride up to the ledge at the end of the Chapter 6 events.  I didn't hear any voices there.  The background music took on a darker tone, but I don't know whether that's connected at all.

    The darker musical tones followed me as I took Dutch's route down from the mountain, but I don't think there's anything to discover down there.

  9. It’s the same button as for melee hits. So that’s B or O. I’ve only really seen kicking when the opponent is down. 

    You can also melee from horseback, but I’ve never really bothered.

  10. Facing the horse and having nothing between it and you ifs probably a good idea before you try mounting a horse. It’s worked fine that way for me for a few thousand times. 

    Sometimes you hit or shoot someone by mistake. This is the old West, that happened sometimes. 

    Seriously though, it’s just a matter of getting used to the controls.
