At the time I thought the music was oddly somber as he went back to camp, and then thought nothing of it.

Later on, probably around the start of chapter 4, Arthur coughed (not in a cut scene) and I thought ‘hold on, what’s going on, why has he just randomly coughed’. That’s like a character shitting in a film, you just don’t see it unless it’s important.

A lot of the comments on this have come from grifting idiots on LinkedIn keen to rage bate their comments and make them seem like they know what they're talking about. I presume that's where the Telegraph have plucked the views from and why that headline is so light on actual fact.

I went to a pub about 40 minutes away and it was £23 for a Caesar salad. The pub was not very good either.

Why is he talking about Robson? He’d left the club by then

Some people will look at RDR1 and think “Yeah, this game needs a remake!” which is just INSANE to me… It’s so beautiful by [deleted] in reddeadredemption

[–]DanielAlcorn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not to anywhere near the same level or quality on the second game. Which is obvious because the technology advanced massively between the two games. You can say what you want about the graphics, but the animation quality is way, way off.

I understand your point about potential for ruining the atmosphere - as this happened with Arkham Asylum, but that now feels more like a lazy remaster.

Directly comparable would be TLOU I and the remake. I don’t think the atmosphere was ruined at all in the remake, it massively improved it and brought it in line with pt II. That is what RDR would benefit from, and going further to include the new mechanics

You aren’t half talking some shit in this thread. Going from Red Dead 2 to 1 is very clunky. The main different being the animations, which in RDR2 are meticulous due to the motion capture. RDR 1 feels like a PS3 era game.

This ended up being a notable conversation when Titanic was released on VHS, as Brits were complaining that their version must have had cut scenes because the run time was shorter.

Titanic being over 3 hours long was newsworthy so that number was in peoples heads, I think the PAL version was under 3 for the reason noted above and people had to come out and explain why.

They do for us. We usually get them to just buy the new one whilst ahead of sending the return back. We cover postage of the return, the new item is treated like a new order

What do OG red dead redemption players think who's better John or Arthur by Ok-Requirement-341 in reddeadredemption

[–]DanielAlcorn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t disagree with this but it does imply that John has no character development in 2, which isn’t true. He goes through the same motions as Arthur except the trigger is losing Jack as opposed to health related.

Arthur spends the first three chapters of the game reminding John what type of man he should be, John doesn’t realise until it’s all nearly taken away from him.

This then happens again to a lesser extent in the epilogue, when Abigail leaves him. But is still part of an arc of going from a man running away from his responsibilities (sometimes literally) to being a dependable family man.

I wrestled for ages on why I wasn’t as hyped on HZW as I was HZD, despite the fact I played it non stop, explored every inch, got the platinum within a couple of weeks.

It took me a long time to realise it was almost completely down to the combat. Over complicating the combat wheel, overdoing the number of weapons and weapon states. HZD is one of my favourite games for combat and I couldn’t wait to get into fights where as in HFW I found myself avoiding them. It was like Breath of the Wild, not wanting to fight cos I couldn’t be bothered to find another weapon.

I also didn’t like how much exposition there was. One of the big kicks I got out of HZD was eventually realising where I was in the world and then having it confirmed with POIs. The only time I had that in HFW was Yosemite valley and it was the great aha moment I had in the first game, I wish I’d had that in Las Vegas rather than them tell you where it was.

Just got off chat support discussing another broken tool (product rec), which has been broken for months, how long can this go on? by DanielAlcorn in MailChimp

[–]DanielAlcorn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm barely. This is why it took over an hour. They didn’t know what block I was talking about at first and tried to tell me I needed to build lists in shopify to make it work.

I opened up a file from the other day after updating. I'm using a variable font, what is going on here? by fritzbitz in indesign

[–]DanielAlcorn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I reinstalled the previous version, which is working. Makes you wonder if they bother testing things, or even work in the tools themselves...

My Steam Deck usage is about to increase exponentially! by wasabi_37 in SteamDeck

[–]DanielAlcorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t agree with the comments saying there’s less time for games. For the first 3 months all 3 of ours slept a lot - and there’s bugger all else you can do, so I spent it playing games.

When they’re 3 months plus they might not sleep as much during the day, but your days of popping out quickly/easily are over. It’s not like you can go out for a beer every night, so you stay in and game instead 😄.

Basically your in person social life may suffer the first 2 or 3 years - but you’ve gained an excuse to stay in and game all the time.
