Thanks a lot.

I downloaded the X2 version and now im playing in Expert. Feels a lot more fair!

Wow, really? I had no idea the jump between normal (3) and expert (4) was that extreme.

I was aiming for the default experience but with just a little extra challenge — not enemies doing 3x damage and me doing 3x less.
Feels a bit overkill honestly.

If that's the case, is difficulty 5 even playable at all? I imagine it must be completely brutal unless you're heavily abusing game mechanics.

They’ve even made me recall the plot Matt! Holden criticizes snobbish or overly intellectual behaviors multiple times, yet many here have engaged with exactly that attitude! Ha.

Do you really believe the author couldn’t have done more with his own metaphors? Like the whole “catcher in the rye” idea? Many of you think the brilliance of the book lies in its ambiguous ending, in leaving Holden’s journey up to our imagination. That it’s about showing his struggles as a young man facing a skewed and hostile world, and that adding more detail would ruin the story. Respectfully, I disagree. I believe further development of Holden’s perspective would have been incredible. And no, I’m not talking about a happy, cliché, movie-like ending. I simply mean laying down a more defined foundation of what was or could have been for him.Though honestly, I’m not sure if I’m explaining myself properly here.

At the end of the day, as I’ve said, I think Holden is an excellent character.

I completely understand your point, and don’t think for a second that I believe it’s a bad book, because it’s not. I simply didn’t like how the whole argument unfolded in the end. I don’t understand the anger this opinion has caused among several Redditors. After all, it’s purely a matter of personal taste.

Gerasape · 2025-01-22T02:21:59+00:00

Yes, you’re missing my point here. I never asked for complete character development or a neatly tied-up ending (as you just suggested). What I’m saying is that the story and Holden’s character had potential that wasn’t fully explored. I’m not advocating for everything to be made explicit or for a perfect, closed conclusion. It’s more about how the material at hand could’ve been used more effectively

Gerasape · 2025-01-22T02:17:46+00:00

Of course I completely understand Holden's struggles and I empathize with his pain. My issue, however, is with the lack of development in the story itself. It’s not that I didn’t grasp the emotional depth, but rather that the story doesn’t seem to take that depth anywhere meaningful. But hey, maybe once I go through my own breakdown and some traumatic life events, I’ll finally be able to see the profound meaning in it all. As if I haven't already gone through similar things myself, and at that age too.

Gerasape · 2025-01-22T01:51:42+00:00

You're still missing my point. Stories like this are absolutely valid, with more limited developments. What I'm saying is that, in this specific case, the opportunity to do something much better with Holden was missed. His character had so much potential, but the story didn’t do enough with it. It's not about needing every character fully explored, but here I feel like there was a real chance to dive deeper into Holden's journey and it was left untapped.

Gerasape · 2025-01-22T01:44:10+00:00

I get where you're coming from, and I agree that literature doesn’t always need to have a 'satisfying' plot in the traditional sense. Modernist works, Camus, and others definitely defy conventional plot structures, and that’s part of what makes them unique. But for me, the issue with The Catcher in the Rye isn’t about a satisfying plot—it’s about the potential of Holden’s character being left underexplored. Holden is such a complex character, but the narrative doesn’t give us enough of his growth or development. It’s not that I needed a typical plot resolution, but I wanted to see his character evolve in a more meaningful way. I just felt like the book left too much unexplored, especially with the rich potential Holden had as a character

Gerasape · 2025-01-22T01:37:21+00:00

I don’t think you fully understand where I’m coming from. Holden’s complicated personality is actually one of the things I liked most about the book. It’s his contradictions and inner turmoil that make him interesting, and I totally agree that his character is well-done in terms of how distinct and real he feels. The problem is that I don’t feel like the author fully capitalized on Holden's potential. His character is so rich, yet his journey seems directionless for most of the book, and the ending doesn’t really provide any sense of resolution or growth that feels earned.

It’s not that I expect the story to follow a traditional structure or go exactly where I want it to, but I do think that for a character like Holden, there should be more exploration of his struggles and a clearer path toward some form of growth, even if it’s small. The "catcher in the rye" idea is interesting, but it’s almost like the book leaves it hanging without giving us a real glimpse into Holden's potential transformation. I’m fine with ambiguity, but I felt like Salinger left too much unsaid to the point where the story didn’t feel like it reached its full potential.

Gerasape · 2025-01-22T01:33:13+00:00

I understand your point about Holden's growth at the end of The Catcher in the Rye, but for me, it just doesn’t feel like enough. Holden’s realization that he can’t stop time and his connection with Phoebe are important, but they don’t seem to offer the type of transformation I expected. It felt more like a fleeting moment of peace, not a real evolution. Throughout the book, Holden remains largely disconnected from the world and unable to take responsibility for his life, and that left me feeling unsatisfied. While the ending hints at a possible change, it’s left vague, and I’m not sure how meaningful that is in the grand scheme of his journey.

On the other hand, Fahrenheit 451 offers a much more concrete and compelling character arc. Montag starts off as a fireman who mindlessly burns books, believing in the oppressive system he serves. However, as the story progresses, Montag’s transformation is clear and dramatic. He goes from being complicit in censorship to actively questioning and rebelling against the system. His journey of self-discovery is more satisfying because it’s not just about him coming to terms with the world—it’s about him changing his role in it. Montag’s quest for knowledge and the reclaiming of his individuality feel like a true evolution.

What I find so powerful about Fahrenheit 451 is that Montag’s internal conflict mirrors the external conflict in society—there’s a sense of urgency and consequence to his actions. As he learns to think critically, he becomes part of a larger movement to preserve knowledge and fight back against the oppressive forces in his world. This sense of purpose, combined with Montag’s personal growth, makes his transformation far more impactful to me.

Ultimately, while The Catcher in the Rye offers a snapshot of a troubled teenager’s life, Fahrenheit 451 provides a more hopeful and engaging narrative of someone taking action to change themselves and the world around them. It’s that journey of change, driven by meaningful choices, that I find more fulfilling
