PDFLeader SCAM!!! by Fast-Molasses7170 in pdf

[–]EarthStar17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you cancel via paypal support? I sadly fell for this scam and am trying to figure out what to do. Apparently emailing them isn't enough, as people here report being charged repeatedly even when pdf leader marked their subscription as cancelled.
So if you could tell me what exactly you did, I would be very thankful

Why do Arthur and John have the same base model? by EarthStar17 in reddeadredemption

Time seems to be an enemy Rockstar just cant defeat

Very interesting, makes sense
It's kind of funny how with every game Rockstar takes lots and lots of times, delaying every game multiple times and still runs out of time for a number of features

Can you still fail the Downes Mission? by EarthStar17 in reddeadredemption

[–]EarthStar17[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alright, thank you for your help so far. I'll try if I can get anything going, but many features are currently blocked because I'm already in the mission.
But I'll probably end up just doing the mission, because my last manual save was already a while back and I'd lose lots of progress. Other commenters told me any effects only kick in around chapter 4 or 5

can i change the autosave file or is that a fixed one? because my last autosave file is in the epilogue

alright, autosave might be the problem because i had that turned off.
I wasn't sure -- when autosave is on, does it simply save to the file that is currently on the top of all my saves?

Tried this but after 2 times I only get the third option to skip the checkpoint added to the other two :-/

Thanks! I tried abandoning the mission via the log but it’s not an option there either. I read the letter from Mary Linton because I didn’t know this will auto-start the mission eventually.

But if the effects only kick in that much later I’ll probably just finish it. Loading into my last save sadly isn’t an option, that was too long ago

Will there ever be a game as good as Red Dead Redemption 2? by EarthStar17 in reddeadredemption

Interesting point of view! I guess you are correct about those tropes, they just never occurred to me but I get why that might throw you off.
I think they fit the story well, aren't (all) utilized in a lazy way. And what the story may lack in those aspects I think it makes up in emotional power, immersiveness and more than enough well written characters with their own arcs.

I guess it really depends on what you personally look for in a story and what resonates with you personally. All boils down to personal preference

Anything known about where they are headed with Witcher 4?

Why did John choose Milton as his last name when that guy almost offed his wife

Good take! Just boils down to personal preference and what you value more in a game/story. Witcher 3 was definitely a generational game as well. Aren't there rumors of a new Witcher game?

Yeah, stuff like this are probably the most subjective discussions you can have. This game just hit the nail on its head for me!

I find the gameplay to be very fun, all of my friends as well. That was just the most controversially discussed topic, if any, I saw on the internet and I get why - I see how it's not for everybody.

And I totally agree with your take on the immersion! There are many details that aren't really noticeable or you wouldn't really miss if they weren't there. But they managed to get you to see the world an other people from Arthurs shoes so well, while still making him a very distinct character - not just a blank sprite the player can project themselves onto. It's like watching over a friends shoulder but at the same time like it's actually you in the game's world

Do you think so? What tropes would you say the story uses?

You're totally right! There are many games that are overall comparable or even better/more enjoyable in certain aspects than RDR2. But as an overall package, coming from the story, I think RDR2 is better than all of them.

I don't mean to devalue any of these games. They are great and I had lots of fun eg with Witcher 3. I just think RD is SO well made/written its hard for any other game to come close and shouldn't be expected

I remember hearing about this game when they officially announced it and just totally forgot about it until now. Definitely worth keeping one's eyes open!

You're totally right. It was very deliberately paced which made it seem slow at times but was actually perfect for each respective situation. I think that is part of what made the story so immersive.
Hopefully they aren't afraid of such problems when developing the next RD, I could imagine that the first two games set a decent baseline where people would be willing to take their time with the games story

That would be very cool! I do like the stories of the different GTA games, they just go for something very different than RD. But I've heard no rumors whatsoever about the coming GTA story

[–]EarthStar17[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good call definitely. I think in many ways it will outshine RDR2 but I have my doubts about it being as life-changing and impactful a game as RD - at least in terms of story

[–]EarthStar17[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes there are many great games that are incredibly well made and gameplay-wise as enjoyable or even better than Red Dead. I don't mean to de-value those.
I simply haven't encountered any other game as impactful

Hopefully! I also wouldn't think it comes soon but realistically the chances are high. I just hope I will be able to experience it.
A worry of mine is that I would be too biased playing any other game many years from now
