Reply to Red Dead Redemption 2 completion rate among different platforms! by -NiMa-

This tracks. I beat the game on Xbox One X. Picked up the game on sale for PC and just played with the graphics when I upgraded my GPU. I keep saying someday I will do a playthrough on PC in first person mod with m/kb controls, but it's a really big time commitment for something I've already experienced, even at 80-100 FPS with all the bells and whistles.

From someone who grew up on FF1 to FFX I am sad to say I agree.

While FF7 gives me fond memories as an awkward 17 year old, I never up and discussed the story intensively.

I still replayed it and 100%'d it on steam a few years ago however, but that's because I already knew all the skippables and such and wasn't a slog for me.

Reply to Being forced to download extra launchers sucks. by Zephyr28572

My understanding is that they can negotiate that Steam take a lower cut of sales if they don't make use of Steam's DRM or other platform features.

Steam is convenient but monopolies aren't good either. In a perfect world all the platforms would provide proper API's so the community could make nicely integrated open source launchers that consolidate all of our games like GOG Galaxy tried to be. Given how finicky GOG is, that unfortunately seems to not be a world we're in yet or maybe ever will be.

It was fun. Gameplay was alright but nothing I wish I could experience again or want to replay.

I had little interest in the story. Aloy felt too generic hero to me. I was hoping she would be more like someone socially awkward having lived a life of exile with limited human interaction (like a young Ashly Burch kind of character).

It's a shame they have a female protagonist in a AAA game and she feels like every other protagonist with nothing really unique aside from the insane person who has to program her hair.

Reply to I know absolutely nothing about gaming monitors but I want one. Any experts on here can tell me if this is a good buy or not? Thank you! by DugBingo951

Recently bought one, and the monitor was broken, would not even turn on. A friend of mine warned me not to, but I didnt listen. He himself had this monitor and it stopped working within 2 weeks.

I would be cautious buying this as LG quality assurance has gone done the shitter recently. Buy something else if you can.

I didn't get far into Ragnarok because the writing and dialogue had a very pronounced drop in quality vs God of War 2016 which I thoroughly loved.

Odin and Thor both spoke anachronistically and their dialogue was just very weak. Odin's voice actor wasn't very good either.

Shame because I was looking forward to playing Ragnarok but sadly it didn't survive modernizing.
