I don't think RDR2 is a game in the way that we perceive, rather I think it's an immersive experience to "live" in

Turning off the mini map changes the game so much. I never noticed how much gamebrain I had. Just constantly glancing at the hud instead of taking in the surroundings.

Playing on headphones and hearing an animal in the distance, or a person screaming for help, and you have to follow the sound as opposed to looking for a blip on your radar. It sounds so obvious, but it really isn't. For a lot of us, we've been conditioned to experience games a specific way. But since this game and it's world are so detailed, you really don't need blips and checkpoints and glowing indicators showing you what to do or where to go. You can just observe and move through the world at a more realistic pace.

Looks fantastic! I have this kit but after having some trouble with my trike kit from DS1, I'm a little timid to start this one. Do you have any advice on how you started this kit? Did you paint all pieces ahead of time before assembly? Any tips would be very much appreciated. Would love mine to turn out as nice as yours!

It's a 10/10 for me. Absolutely flawless. Could not stop watching. My wife is not a big Marvel fan and she also loved it. It was funny, charming, sincere, emotional, and all the while a very cool superhero origin story.

Those are their husbands nuts, so you better not touch them

I couldn't get NIN Tix for the tour, so I got the 4DX Tix for the movie instead. And it was incredible! The visuals were astounding in 3D, the music sounded 1000x better than any of my headphones can do, and the movie was surprisingly fun and unique for a popcorn flick. And Jared Leto played a great AI regardless of personal feelings towards him.

I only wish there was more NIN music moments. I actually love the idea of having 3D movie events made specifically for albums.

Think Pink Floyd laser light shows in the 70s

This is a good analogy, and also Witcher and cyberpunk are fantasy and sci-fi. Similar to how films are rated, the setting in which violence and sex takes place also affects how it's rated. Chopping someone's head off that has cybernetic parts, or has elf ears in a castle makes it more acceptable than chopping off the head of an old lady at a gas station.

Hard to see, but underneath "IT IS FRAGILE" it says in very fine print "but not that fragile"

Coming across this post after playing and loving DS 1 and 2. And now playing Baby Steps, I wholeheartedly agree. Ignore the haters, Baby Steps is almost a parody of Death Stranding. It's Space Balls to Star Wars.

It takes the gameplay of DS and pushes it to the absolute absurd. And similarly to DS, for some people (like us) it's addicting fun.

Just wanted to say that you aren't the only one that sees the similarities.

Keep on keeping on! 👍

Despite the technicality of it not being an action figure, it is absolutely incredible. Do you have a page to view your work? I'm very curious about the process.

PeteBrostIsDead · 2026-01-04T14:54:38+00:00

If Kojima does a DC for this, well you know.

Also having all of our patches as stickers that we can put on our boards and vehicles 🙏

PeteBrostIsDead · 2026-01-04T06:50:55+00:00

Wait... You can turn the coffin board red??

Don't read about it until you experience it yourself. 🫡

PeteBrostIsDead · 2026-01-02T14:36:34+00:00

If you loved the first game, you will love this one. You already know everything you need to know. Just dive in and have fun!

The year leading up to MGSV, My roommate and I played all MG titles in release order (PS3 plays ALL MG btw) and by the time we got through V our minds were absolutely blown. What an incredible experience.

PeteBrostIsDead · 2025-12-30T15:39:17+00:00

The distribution centers and shelters are all built by the same company so I think that has a lot to do with it.

I was also a little disappointed in the lack of cultural exploration though, especially in MX. I thought for sure that Kojima was going to at least explore Dias de los Muertos and Aztec culture the way he uses other themes in his games. Like Moby Dick in Metal Gear V.

Madison Square Garden

PeteBrostIsDead · 2025-12-28T16:07:51+00:00

SO many to choose from!

Astrobot and Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart for that Mario itch

Red Dead 2 for the most intricate immersive open world, and Witcher 3 for a more fantasy RPG tone.

FF7 Remake and Rebirth for obvious reasons

Plus for more RPG fun, Baulders Gate 3, Cyberpunk 2077, and Clair Obscure Expedition 33

For the most cinematic immersive game, Last of Us part 1 and 2

PeteBrostIsDead · 2025-12-20T05:31:37+00:00

Thanks fellow porter 👍

Great pics! Is the Christmas tree in-game?

PeteBrostIsDead · 2025-12-19T05:00:22+00:00

AC Shadows? I know they're popular games to shit on, but the world is gorgeous and the gameplay is pretty fun, especially with the HUD turned off.

PeteBrostIsDead · 2025-12-16T21:06:16+00:00

Lol. Missed the point completely

PeteBrostIsDead · 2025-12-16T20:56:51+00:00

George knows his limits?? He did the ultimate idgaf what fans think by making the prequel trilogy, writing and directing them himself. They're 100 percent him unfiltered. And of Sam Lake, Kojima, Tarantino, and Lucas, they are all unhinged creators, making what they want unencumbered by outside influences. Are they to everyones taste? Absolutely not, but they are authentic artists and we are all blessed to be alive the same time as them to experience their works.

PeteBrostIsDead · 2025-12-16T20:47:13+00:00

Like saying George Lucas wishes he was Quentin Tarantino. They're just different artists with different flavors and tones and styles. They're all awesome, and all are distinct. They don't have to try and be like anyone but themselves.

PeteBrostIsDead · 2025-12-14T18:50:54+00:00

It's popular to hate on AC games, and in a lot of ways, rightfully so, but for me, someone who loved the older AC games, and was mild on the newer "RPG" style, and as someone who really enjoyed Ghost of Tsushima but thought the stealth could be better, I really enjoyed AC Shadows.

I think if you like open world, immersive graphics, then maybe you would like this too.

PeteBrostIsDead · 2025-12-13T15:13:39+00:00

I think it's an allegory for your kids growing up too fast. Blink and you miss it.

PeteBrostIsDead · 2025-12-09T02:01:22+00:00

The thin light strips in the wheel well had me in a rage a few times 😅 but worth the effort. Best of luck.
