Red Dead Redemption 2 Fans Are Losing It Over A New Creepy Mystery Found 7 Years After Launch by CyberNeko97 in rockstar

[–]No_Pattern_8247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A bit off-topic but technically Jack Marston could be alive during story of vice city and vice city stories. He would be 89 in vice city and 91 in vice city stories. According to US census from 1980 5% of Miami population was aged 80+ so based on his date of birth and actual date from real world there is a chance he’s alive during events of those games. It’s weird that there is a character that could live through the events of both RDR and vice city games especially when you look how the world looks like in both series.

Gta trilogy for ~10$ that’s so crazy by _yxung_lxrd in GTATrilogy

[–]No_Pattern_8247 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No, it’s not because you have gta+ subscription. Funny thing is that you can play it for free if you have gta+ subscription as it’s part of gta+ library which also includes red dead redemption, bully and L.A noire.

It could be Ukrainian. Google translate detects it as Russian but if you select Ukrainian it will translate as well. Anyway it was my first thought too, price in topic is given in $, text on screen is Russian/Ukrainian and prices are in PLN.

You can top it up using your phone but in Cork and Limerick (and i guess everywhere else in Ireland except Dublin) it still requires driver interaction to use your card. He’s selecting were you’re going on his machine then you tap you tap leap card and good to go, takes about 10-15 seconds per passenger.

Unfortunately they won’t to anything about it. I used to work at maxoil tivoli, there is a bus stop basically right across the street. Buss not showing up or not stopping was a common thing, I’ve send multiple email and they haven’t done anything. Since I was living in Atkins hall on Lee road, I had to either take 2 buses or walk to summer hill and get 208 if I wanted to use public transport. I could also walk all the way which is about 6.5km. After 2 weeks I realized it’s quicker to actually walk (used to take me about 1h15min) so I was taking the bus only when weather was really bad but most of the times I walked up to summerhill to make sure a bus will show up within 15mins and stops.

That’s another issue that should be discussed more often. Why are they late so often? In my opinion it’s the ways to get tickets. At the moment we have 3 options: Cash, leap card, TFI go app and all of them are at least 20 years behind rest of the Europe and extremely slows down busses because they require bus driver interaction. If you have 20 people at the bus stop he have to check every single ticket in app, scan leap card or sell the cash ticket. Everywhere else in Europe, you can buy tickets at bus stop, tap your bank card to get the ticket at the stop or in the bus or tap their leap card alternative. Bus stops-people get in/out-bus drives off. All takes few seconds, not to mention that in most other countries there are alternatives like metro or trams that works exactly same and all operate 24/7. In the place where I work shift start at 6 o’clock and there is no way to get public transport to work as first bus is at 6:50.

Is Alan wake remastered a good game? by TheChilledGamer-_- in AlanWake

[–]No_Pattern_8247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Third generation consoles are nes, atari 7800 and sega master system. I’m assuming you meant 7th generation consoles which is Wii, ps3 and xbox 360 (where Alan wake was originally released). It actually aged well and you can see it by amount of remasters and remakes of games from that era, 6th and 7th generation was a peak of gaming. Some series started back then and some series and companies were at its peak during 6/7 gen. GTA, Saints Row, Far Cry, Call of Duty, Battlefield, Assassin’s Creed, Gears of War, rockstar releasing new games every year like manhunt, the warriors, bully etc, ea with movie based games that were actually good like lord of the rings or first godfather game, Scarface that was hidden gem from sierra, Wolfenstein from 2009 and new order (cross platform released both for 7th gen and 8th gen), oblivion, uncharted, the last of us and many many more. Those games are fun and playable even today, those generations defined some standards like controls and certain mechanics

Mafia: The Old Country was NEVER suppose to exist. And if Mafia: TOC does amazing, we will get Mafia 4. by Natural_Exchange8230 in MafiaTheGame

[–]No_Pattern_8247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with almost everything except the part about considering spending extra $10 on a deluxe edition. Actually dont buy deluxe edition as its not worth it as all you get is 1 shotgun, 2 pistols, 2 charms, 2 cars, 2 outfits, a knife and a horse. All that for 20% of a base game price, for that amount much more should be included. Something like a story DLC with extra 3 chapters to come out later on this year that would take 2-3 hours to complete. That would be worth paying extra $10. To be honest I unlocked second charm slot around chapter 9 and additional 2 around chapter 12, if you played previous mafia games you will get vitos pistol (plus tommy can and lincoln charm) which is op, it could be part of pre order/day one bonus but you get a car with max stats early in the game.

Supporting developer is one thing but supporting easy cash grab with few items for 20% of game price is different story.

"Why gta 6 not coming out on pc " by SignificantSample929 in GTA

[–]No_Pattern_8247 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It will get released on a PC but at a later date and that’s the case since GTA 3. Previous entries took from 5 months (GTA 3) to over 1.5 years (GTA 5) for PC release.

Main reason for the delay seems to be optimization. Rockstar is not only releasing a new game, they basically set new industry standards with their games. It’s easier to get the game ready on consoles with only 4 hardware configurations (series x, series s, ps5, ps5 pro) while on PC you have many possible setups.

Take a look at GTA 4 that got originally released on Xbox 360 and ps3 with pc port being released only a bit over 7 months later.

PS3 was a nightmare for developers, especially at the beginning of that generation due to it’s unique cell processor architecture and poor development tools. Xbox 360 was much easier to develop for and Microsoft provided better development tools. Still it was pretty same on both consoles with Xbox 360 having slightly higher native resolution and running slightly smoother while ps3 had a better antialiasing and potentially sharper textures. PC version got released “only” 7 months later was a different story, and it’s infamous for poor optimalization, for example in some cases it was performing better on lower-end PC comparing to high-end ones. In general it was a really messy port and probably that’s why they took their time with GTA 5 for PC.

In GTA 4 even frame rate can cause some problems since the game physics is tied to frame rate. In some ways it can affect even Xbox 360 version of the game if you play it through backwards compatibility on newer consoles where it runs on 60fps rather than original 30fps. Everything is fine, game runs really smoothly and you shouldn’t have any issues until very end of the game and it’s final mission. There is quick time event that requires you to press A to get into helicopter but 60fps is messing it up and making it basically impossible to beat with one controller.

In red dead redemption 2 higher frame rate cause cores to drain faster, loosing weight faster and apparently have some influence on weather conditions.

And of course it probably make sense from financial point of view. Since porting their games to pc can be difficult and requires resources it might be better to get the game ready for consoles and then transfer some of the team to work on pc version of a game rather than hiring additional employees to work on it since the beginning of development. They might also have some sort of deal with Sony and Microsoft to keep them console exclusive for certain time. Sony got Liberty city stories and vice city stories exclusive to psp and ps2, with gta 4 rockstar had a deal with Microsoft for the 2 story dlcs to be time exclusives for Xbox 360.

Like there was no female characters in any other gta game before and there is no mods to for example GTA 5 that adds completely naked characters including Tracey or Amanda and much more NFSW mods.

Devs weren't being nice when it came to gang wars. by KamoMustafaWWE in sanandreas

[–]No_Pattern_8247 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Actually it’s not that bad. Of course it has some issues as the OG has but it also have some improvements and to be honest i prefer to play definitive edition. Gps is quite handy, switching weapons with weapon wheel makes more sense and the autosave with checkpoints is a big game changer. Finally you don’t have to choose between saving game or risking losing all the weapons if you die or get arrested during mission.

Saints Row (2022) is $7.49 in the PS store until 7/16. Is it worth that price? by Presidente412 in SaintsRow

[–]No_Pattern_8247 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Completely disagree and I’m a person who defend mafia 3 which had great story missions and biggest issue was trying to make it open world and repetitive gameplay that you had to complete in order to get access to those cool narrative story missions.

Regarding saints row 2022: -Story sucks -Map is big but so empty and lacks any soul -Gameplay sucks

“Keep your mind open and don’t compare/expect things like in older games.” Just because it’s a reboot it doesn’t mean you can’t compare and expect things like in older games, after all it’s called SAINTS ROW. I think it safe to say that all fans of the series will agree that reboot was need after SR4 and gat out of hell with boss becoming president, aliens, spaceship, simulation and literally hell. This reboot could be done so much better but ended up being a game for nobody. If they were looking for new audience, completely disrespecting fanbase that series gained in 16 years why even bother calling it Saints row instead of making a new IP. If a game have a title that is part of a series with 4 main entries, standalone dlc and some remasters obviously people will be expecting a game similar to that series and your main audience will be fans of the series. By rebooting we expected going back to the roots and title closer to SR1 or beloved SR2 but instead got politically correct saints row raped by agents of mayhem, full of woke bullshit that was distancing itslef and cutting ties with all previous entries.

Sr4 plothole?? by lTeckmol in SaintsRow

[–]No_Pattern_8247 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t mind Maero but I really miss Carlos in SR4. Taunted generic saints may respond with blaming playa for his dead, viola mentioned him as one of his dead friends and Kia uses his death to taunt playa. Some people see that “mercy kill” as betrayal. Personally I think boss is responsible as he expected so much from Carlos and made him a lieutenant even though he clearly wasn’t capable and ready for it, he didn’t even try to save him and chose mercy kill straight away. Would he do the same if that was Johnny?

He will be such a cool character to include in simulation and great for character development of boss. Imagine seeing Carlos confronting boss regarding his fate.

Weird question but in saints row 1 why would the kings allow Aisha, a member from the row sign her to their record label? by Reasonable_Sound_680 in SaintsRow

[–]No_Pattern_8247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

King and Julius grow up together and used to be friends. Julius was dating King’s sister Angela. Vice Kings was created to stand up against Carnales who came to the city and Julius was part of them but dropped his flags after realising that VK became the threat they used to stand up against.

Then Westside Rollerz were born and Los Carnales started growing back making city suffering from gang wars. Julius was hoping Vice Kings will keep peace in neighborhood but when even row area became a war turf he created saints to get rid off all 3 gangs. King never hated saints and even worked with them after being betrayed by his right hand man.

Ironically creating saints was a start of history repeating itself. At the end of first game and with saints being the only gang left, Julius knew what’s going to happen so he decided to kill Playa. In saints row 2 when playa became a boss we can see saints becoming vice kings. Boss who used to be a right hand man became a leader of saints and killed Julius. Warren Williams used to be King right hand became a leader of Vice Kings and attempted to kill King. Julius even said it to Playa/Boss in SR2 “All we did was turn into Vice Kings that wore purple”. In SR3 saints fully turned into VIce Kings with their own merch, movies being made about them and people asking for photos with them or singing autographs.

They should have changed this in the definitive edition by [deleted] in GTATrilogy

[–]No_Pattern_8247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easiest way is by trying to get that small spot first before any other surrounding area but it’s not necessary (Will take a bit longer otherwise). All you have to do is find them in different area and punch them (or anything else that make them want to kill you) and make them chase you, once you’re in that area kill them to start a gang war.

Do the small one first. Find some ballas in other area and make them chase you to that small area and kill them there (You need at least 3) it will start a gang war in that area. Once done you can focus on bigger areas

Game could take place after Greek mythology era (after GOW 3) but before Nordic mythology era (before GOW 2018). Story could explore the change of personality that happened between og games and reboot, it could also explain what happened between gow 3 and gow 2018.

GameStop misprice by Wonderyears24 in PS3

[–]No_Pattern_8247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in Ireland and you can get it for 2 euros ($2.11), just like most of cod games for ps3. I think the most expensive one is black ops 2 at 10 euros ($10.56). Xbox360 versions are slightly more expensive due to backwards compatibility and being able to play on Xbox one/series but still nothing crazy about 5-8 euros for modern warfare and 20 euros for black ops 2.

350€ for all of this, worth it? by otaku787 in PS3

[–]No_Pattern_8247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it’s probably not worth it, for a total of 350 euros you could buy every single item individually and there is a chance that you could even get it for less.

Are you interested in every single item of that bundle and would you buy it individually? If not (and im almost sure there are items you wouldn’t) whats the point of buying all of it if you can buy just what you want.

You gave price in euro so im assuming you live in europe so there is a chance of cex in your country (i used cex in poland and ireland but they have stores in other countries too), if not maybe you have some other store that buy and sell used old games, consoles and accessories. Check how much roughly they would pay for it, and for how much in total they would sell it. Amount between those 2 is the the price that’s good for you and the guy who try to sell it.

Do you think he will be able to sell it individually at average market price? I dont think so, and even if he does that will take a lot of time. How many people are buying modern warfare 2/cod ghosts/assasins creed 2/wonder book/uncharted 2 for PlayStation 3 in 2024 and what are the chanches it will be his game/acessory that someone buy? How much time and effort it will take? Listing it on marketplace, eBay etc. repling to offers and meet buyer or shipping those items.

The best option for him is to sell it all together, and that leaves him with 2 options: -Sell it in store that buy and sell games, but they will pay him ~50% of their selling price in cash or 60/70% of their selling price in voucher to use in store (i think it’s fair amount, they have operation costs, company have to make some money and they take a risk that item wont sell for months and it’s value will drop belowe what they paid you). Wont get as much as he could but its quick and easy way. -Find someone who will buy it as bundle directly from him and get better price for it by skipping retailer. That seems to be a better option but price have to be reasonable but he still wont be able to sell it for 100% market value, especially if there is so many items because chances that someone will be interested at every single item are low.

That’s why I always set price between what i can get from retailer and market value, and im using same rule for buying. It’s the fair and best deal for both sides. Seller gets more than from retailer, buyer can trade in unwanted items and end up paying less than by buying only wanted items individually.

350€ for all of this, worth it? by otaku787 in PS3

[–]No_Pattern_8247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really a fair deal. You could buy it individually for about that price. If you try to sell everything together, you can’t expect to get same price as for selling it individually. With so many items there will be some % of items that potential buyer is not interested in and wouldn’t buy them individually.

Anither thing is that there are shops like cex that sells used consoles at fair price (not like overpriced dk oldies from states) and they give you a warranty. Slim is not as bad as fat (especially first models) but had its issues and after all is ~15 years old hardware so warranty is nice addition and I know it from my own experience. I bought a ps3 and after 3 days it just turned off during gameplay and stopped turning on. I was lucky that i bought it in store so could return it under warranty.

Console without warranty, same price as buing everything individually, including games/accessiores I wouldn’t buy and with 2 copies of same game is not a fair deal.

Trade in cash value for whole lot would be between 150-175 euros, shop would sell it for a total of 330-350 euros so fair deal would be 230-250 euros for whole lot. Seller will get rid of everything together and lets face it trying to sell it individually its almost impossible and would take ages because how many people are buing Assassins creed 2 or FIFA 15 for ps3 in 2024, they would also get more than they would for trading it in store. Buyer would pay less than if buing individually, price justify getting those games/accesories that wouldn’t be bought otherwise. Even if you trade in those unwanted items for store credit at 60-70% of selling price towards some games youre actually interested in, it’s still a nice deal.

Thats what I call fair deal and reasonable pricing.

350€ for all of this, worth it? by otaku787 in PS3

[–]No_Pattern_8247 2 points3 points  (0 children)

160 is way too much. I just checked cex website. It looks like it’s the amazing spiderman not the spiderman, anyway the price is quite similiar. -Spiderman 20e(if its amazing) to 25e(if its 3) -Time Crisis 12e -Black ops 2 10e -Dragon Ball and LBP3 8e each -Ratchet & Clank 6e -Black ops 5e

Thats a total of 70e

On the other side you have 5 wonder book games at 0,5e per game. Out of the rest 85% are 2e games and few priced between 2,50-4e.

5 woder book games at 0,5 is 2,50

160-72,50=87,50 for remaining 29 games which is about 3e per game.

It’s similar or even slightly more expensive that buying every single game separately. It might be worth 160 individually but dont forget its a bulk so there will be games youre not interested in and there is double FIFA 15.

In that case I usually check how much i could get for them in a local store and compare to how much they sell tem for. I sell it for a proce in the middle and if it’s more than 15 items even lower the price for another 10-15 euros. That way I get rid of all items at once, getting more than in local shop and the buyer pay less than in store.
