@mrroach I agree. The only thing that makes me go out of my way to "explore" is when the stranger icon appears somewhere far. Some of the collectables seem interesting, like the Dinosaur bones or the rock markings, but I have not stumbled on ANY of them, and I have absolutely no clue on how to even look for them.

@maartendc: Yes, the world is amazing, more specifically I find incredible just how real the land formations (even small stuff like level changes) and vegetation look. And I also love spending time talking with people in camp, drinking my coffee every morning and so on. But on the other hand, the world looks super orchestrated, and that's the thing with most games, but since they try so hard to make everything so real it just highlights the issue, like with the random encounters that always happen exactly on your way, or how a train always happen to pass by when you go over/under a bridge. I would really love to see some westworld thing at the end of the game because it would make a lot of sense.

And boy, the story is bad. I like Arthur as a character, and Sadie also (she's my favorite, but they don't use her nearly as much as I hoped), but the whole story is super shallow. The only thing it has going for it imo is that it's not the usual "save the world" bullshit that's in every other game.

@maartendc: I agree that taking the game slow is the best approach, I've been playing on a similar pace as you, couple missions every night, mostly enjoying the game, and I'm also on chapter 6 now.

But the more I play, the less I like it. I am already tired of it, every missions ends in a shootout. Also, who the fuck thought it was a good idea to put a 3 hour uncharted sequence with this controls in chapter 5? That was by far the worst part of the game for me so far, followed closely by a forced stealth section earlier in the game.

I never try to 100% any games, so that's not the issue for me. I saw some people saying that the story itself is not the strongest point of the game, but I really don't see an incentive to do anything else other than story and the stranger missions. I hate poker and the other games, and I don't find any fun in hunting.

I think I might take a break from the game because it's only getting worse and the lack of fast travel has been annoying me now because there are many way too long rides where I just put the auto pilot on (hoping it does not run over someone and start a problem) while I do something else.

One more note, I think some of the random events that are supposed to make the game more believable sometimes just make it worse when you don't follow the script. Once I saw a guy close to Saint Dennis asking for help because he was dying, I ignored him because the horse was on auto pilot, and after that I saw the same guy several times on the same stop, saying the same thing.

Same issue for me. Haven't been able to keep up with the premium content because it was basically the only place I watched them, now I'm watching only on youtube =/

Not a repeat, they are basically doing emails/calls this week. Are you sure you got the right episode?

Do they usually account for last December games on GOTY? Can't remember specific mentions on previous years

A better revenue split sounds great (speaking as a developer), but there is an item that seems pretty bad to me.

A lot of the traffic for indie games comes from tags and "similar games", if they don't have this it's going to be really hard for indie games to get noticed.

Wanted to play Obra Dinn and Spider man at least, maybe Vampyr, but between Red Dead 2, Pokemon Let's Go and Fallout 76 I don't think I'll have time for anything else.

Yes because right now the new site does not work at all on my TV, where I used to watch all the premium content. Also on my laptop the audio is always out of sync on chrome, so right now I'm only watching on youtube =/

I always use mine when traveling, never had an issue.

@tracerx: I think the Sensui saga is still pretty good, the drop in quality on DBZ going from Freeza -> Cell -> Boo is much steeper imo.
