Finally started "Last Of Us" last night. I'm hooked. My kids were playing in the room so I went with headphones. The game had me on the edge of my seat!

I think it's in the top 3 best games I ever played. I have to replay it (for like the 6th time) soon since the sequel comes out on the 19th.

I'm almost done with chapter 6 on rdr2 ...they keep gutting me right in the feels over and over. I would have to say I don't know if any game will ever top this one for me

This scene right here killed me

The ending of the first Red Dead Redemption got me pretty hard in the feels. RDR2 was sort of a slower burn. But yeah, there were some very impactful moments for sure. Very well done series. Honestly they could film RDR2 as a western movie and it would be great.

My husband says this game ruined western movies for him, it was so well done. I'm planning to go back and play rd1 , I never have yet. I'm going to try for 100% completion in this one first. I still need to check out what the online version is like

I feel like 100% completion for RDR2 would be nearly impossible. I put a LOT of hours into that game and some of the stuff like the dinosaur bones and rock carvings, I found only a few total. I would have to have a guidebook or look online and it would be quite the grind to get it all.

I hope the rumors of a Demon's Souls remake are true. A new Ratchet and Clank could be a thing too. We'll find out tomorrow.

I liked RDR2 but the micro-managing of keeping the guns clean, wearing the right clothes in the right weather, getting enough food and sleep,..all that 'real life drudgery', pulled me out of the game.

The train robbing and stuff, just running around doing cool stuff,.. that was fun.

Last time I played I spent like 2 days trying to capture 'the best horse' in the snow around a lake, and I just got tired of it.

You're making CAD$48 sound high.


Maybe I need to setup a GoFundMe so someone can pay for a game for me so I have something to do during "these uncertain times".

I finished 10% of RDR2. Turned it off. Haven't thought about it since. Beautiful game. Just not for me.

Once I found out that if you never clean your guns, it's a pretty marginal difference in performance, I kind of stopped doing it as much. The food part I didn't mind because there was some cool dialogue at camp so often I would grab a bowl of stew and listen to the conversations around the fire.

Yeah, I didn't do any of those things. Had my summer gear on in the snow....shooting dirty ass guns. DIdn't make as much of a difference as you would think.

You dont really have to do that stuff... i rarely clean guns , only sleep when it's too dark to see. It never bothered performance that much. Eating is easy they give you so much you can pick up around the map

Catching the wild horses is pretty tedious sometimes though i agree

I'm going to have to add RDR2. I knew this already. All this talk is making me think sooner rather than later. :thumbs:
