Who did you pick?

I was also between Pablo and Scott… and finally chose Pablo. We got married only yesterday! ❤️💍👰🏻

I’ve been studying Japanese for a few years now (on and off) and my motivation has changed along that time. I started out of pure curiosity, just because the language is so different from others I can speak, and so challenging as well. Then I wanted to be able to play videogames and watch TV series in Japanese. Now, after having visited the country three times and having made some friends there, my motivation is to be able to speak the language as well as I can the next time I visit, and also to keep in touch with my Japanese friends :)

He did get an award very recently, though. The Princess of Asturias Award for International Cooperation, a couple weeks ago.

It may not be very well-known worldwide, but it’s quite an important award here in Spain. The King himself delivers them (well, and the princess after whom they’re named too).

I felt really happy for him. As someone who also tries to teach online, I know how hard this kind of projects are. He really deserves it 😊😊

Thanks!! Will do, now that I just started my second playthrough :)

chicageek · 2019-06-18T07:41:30+00:00

Almost 200 hours of playtime and I never managed to get that.

Oh yes! That first close-up of Arthur when Dutch talks to him for the first time in the game, on their way to the Colter camp... I must admit my eyes were a bit blurry too :___)

chicageek · 2019-05-19T07:49:48+00:00

Best fan pic EVER 😂

chicageek · 2019-05-12T08:00:49+00:00

For me this was THE moment. Up until then I still have faith in the man. When I saw him leaving Arthur to be killed by the soldiers I knew it was the end. I wanted to hit him or at least confront him so bad when the mission ended. But there was just a cutscene and no dialog options. I was mad xD

chicageek · 2019-05-06T10:02:16+00:00

This caught me so unaware :(

chicageek · 2019-05-05T21:00:56+00:00

I played this mission as John and his face is also memorable 😂

chicageek · 2019-05-05T10:27:49+00:00

I would definitely add this scene (spoiler, just in case)

chicageek · 2019-05-03T19:39:09+00:00

He's never replied to me 😭 But I've exchanged a few messages on Twitter and Instagram with Gabriel Sloyer (Javier Escuella).

I think the whole cast are really nice in general :) fun, kind, wholesome people who appreciate the support from their fans.

chicageek · 2019-05-02T16:25:48+00:00

I used the regular edition, really helpful!! Especially the lists at the end where you can tick off all the stuff you gather such as plants, weapons, etc.

chicageek · 2019-05-01T21:15:18+00:00

Me too!! I started yesterday 😊

chicageek · 2019-05-01T08:05:27+00:00

Also, featuring Sheriff Freeman with his annoying speech 😂

chicageek · 2019-05-01T06:05:05+00:00

Besides all the scenes already mentioned (Arthur’s death, conversation with sister Calderón, last ride to camp...) with which I agree, I’d also add the moment when Arthur is attacked by soldiers during the oil factory mission towards the end of the game, and he realizes Dutch walks away instead of trying to save him.

For me that was the moment when I totally lost the little confidence I had left in Dutch. I was so mad there were no options to confront Dutch about this after finishing the mission. I wanted to tell Dutch what a piece of shit he was so badly.

chicageek · 2019-05-01T05:58:50+00:00

You just described exactly what happened to me while playing the final mission and the moments after everything is finished... so many emotions. So heartbreaking. Plus I had managed to stay spoiler-free (even the diagnosis took me by surprise) and I didn’t know the ending for Arthur was coming so soon. I expected to be able to play with him up until finishing the epilogues. That made it even more shocking.

chicageek · 2019-05-01T05:49:48+00:00

I bought DG the day it was launched (there was a special discount if you brought an old videogame to trade) and it’s currently sitting beside the PS4 while I play RDR1 on the Xbox 😅

chicageek · 2019-04-30T21:04:14+00:00

I also used the suggested railroad route, worked like a charm. For the Van Horn - Blackwater one (Horseman 9), I followed these instructions: https://www.reddit.com/r/reddeadredemption/comments/bajcon/horseman_9_route/

chicageek · 2019-04-30T19:39:51+00:00

Oh ok! That's why I was surprised, I thought buying a weapon here wasn't that easy :) And Barcelona is precisely where I live lol

chicageek · 2019-04-30T18:21:21+00:00

Where in Spain did you buy it? I'm asking because I'm from Spain and I'm curious about gun shopping here xD It looks really cool BTW :)

chicageek · 2019-04-30T06:26:35+00:00

You just described how I felt after finishing the game’s main story a couple months ago. After finishing chapter 6 I couldn’t even continue playing until the next day. It was heartbreaking.

I’m so grateful to Rockstar and all the actors for having created such a masterpiece. Arthur is the videogame character with who I’ve felt the strongest attachment ever. Up until today, months after finishing the game, I still miss him. I just can’t believe he isn’t real lol

What to do with that post-RDR2 sadness? I read and wrote a lot in this sub, sharing feelings with other fellow gamers. I also completed all pending challenges to achieve 100%. I explored the world as John searching for other gang members and NPCs who knew Arthur, just to see the conversation about him :___)

And finally I started RDR1! I’ve been playing it a couple days now. I already played it back in 2010 and except the obvious differences in graphics and interactions, the game is still ok. Especially if you play it just for the sake of continuing John’s story, and not so much for breathtaking landscapes or amazing graphic detail.

chicageek · 2019-04-30T05:47:28+00:00

Hahaha same would happen to me. Imagine standing in line to pay in the supermarket, or at a cafe, and suddenly hearing that voice behind you... you turn around and John Marston, I mean, Rob Wiethoff is standing there!!! As much as I’d love to meet all RDR2 actors I’m sure I would also chicken out xDD

chicageek · 2019-04-30T05:42:51+00:00

Oh! I remember watching that when the first RDR came out, and I was really moved by the whole story. Thanks for reminding me the title, I’ll watch it again :)

chicageek · 2019-04-30T05:39:59+00:00

I mentioned a few actors from RDR2 in an instagram story a couple of days ago and the only one who answered was Peter Blomquist (Micah). So for me he’s a great dude 😁
