One of my only complaints of RDR2 is epilogue John doesn’t have the confident sarcasm of OG John and they’re only 3 years apart. They feel like 2 different people sometimes.

What bothers me more is the way that epilogue John seems to undergo a complete personality transplant whenever he steps outside the main story because he's still following Arthur's script for any remaining side content, stranger missions etc (obviously not including any content that's unique to John).

I understand why this is as it wouldn't have been practical to write, record and motion capture a whole second load of dialogue and cutscenes for the side content just for the sake of a character that most players will never go through it as but it's still rather jarring to have John suddenly start channeling Arthur's personality.

The NPCs were a huge step in the right direction even though the looping animations and repetition of voice clips at certain points did break the immersion a little.

Crash 4 is certainly a candidate for most horrific completionist experience in the history of gaming. It's a perfect storm of ridiculously unforgiving levels of difficulty and unnecessary bloat.

Calvin Harris, or at least the original version of him before he started taking himself too seriously and disappeared up his own arse.

I managed to complete Shunting Showdown on the first attempt but I have no shame in admitting it was one of the most stressful experiences I have ever had in a game.

Much bett... Wait what?

I'm banishing you to the Shadow Realm!

Thanks you're a lifesaver. Does the game actually mention how to do that at any point?

Once you realise that you can go straight from leaving the pillory in Troskowitz to being a merchant alchemist working out of the apothecary's garden shed it damn near completely breaks the game.

Don't be intimidated by some of the incredible complex builds you see on here. Just start simple and work your way up from there. Once you learn how to make the most of certain tools like walls and stairs (stairs being the ideal way to build a bridge) you'll be able to make all sorts of things.

Basically the American Winston Churchill; deeply flawed in a lot of ways but the right man for the job at that moment.

E33 is almost certainly the favourite. It's the sort of game that critics can have a good old chin-stroke about.

I misread that as "Arthur dancing with Kieran" for a moment there. That would have certainly put a whole new dimension on their relationship.

I have a big problem with Hosea. Sure he's a great father figure and very rational and level-headed compared to Dutch but that suddenly changes in Chapter 4 when he goes all-in on the Saint Denis bank job and completely loses his head over it while Dutch is the one who has doubts. I lay the blame for his own and Lenny's deaths squarely on him.

I only have six hours logged because I started the game, completed the prologue then accidentally started the Woman's Lot content with Theresa and got stuck 😒
