Lightning Strikes posted... I think with time to sit on it, and reflecting after reading your writeup, RDR2 is a vastly superior game to RDR1 despite sharing some flaws. I'm interested in what you think of it eventually! You're not the first person to tell me that, actually. I do think I'll have some of the same complaints toward the second one, especially how much time is spent just riding around on horseback. It definitely does look like it benefits from having more advanced technology behind it though. I can see things like the livelier base camp helping to make the game more compelling. Gall posted... A few final thoughts on Red Dead: Definitely agree about Javier. I think three different villains was okay, they just needed to expand their roles in the story. I do think it was odd how unclear what Dutch was trying to achieve seemed, but maybe there was a certain intention behind that, like that he didn't know himself. RDR does leave a lot of room for the sequel to expand on the backstory, which I guess has its ups and downs. We'll have to see how it pays off. Yeah, maybe after a point I should've stopped actually played Red Dead and just watched the rest on Youtube. That probably would've helped me get through it a little sooner. I'll keep that idea in mind going forward. So we share an interest in Obra Dinn and Disco Elysium. Baba is You definitely looks cool and would probably be in my top 20 most anticipated at least. I've played Cuphead and thought it was excellent, but I wasn't huge on Octopath even as someone who loves Square RPGs. It will be interesting to give Trails a whirl since it's such a board 8 darling. --- I got up to 15 stars today, and completed world 1 in the process. My approach was just to clear all the available levels in each Galaxy before going on to the next. I had to go back for the comet tokens a couple of times. There are a few moments that make me think "oh, this was in the first game," like the beetle bosses, but I'm definitely having fun with it so far. The first boss was pretty cool. I like how it gets away from the usual Nintendo formula where there are distinct phases where the boss can attack and where you can attack. You can actually win the fight really quickly if you're skilled enough, which I think is a good thing to aim for in game design. Maybe it's just my desire to insist that the version I have more nostalgia for is better, but there are a couple things I kind of miss from the first game. I think I preferred the hub world to the level map and I definitely like Rosalina better as a character compared to Lubba. The structure seems a little less open in this game too. Still, those are really minor details, and the level design and sense of variety are definitely as strong in this game as they were in the original. --- I'm playing every game from GotD 2020!
