This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Every single shelf, cupboard, sack, discolored patch of dirt, hollow tree, etc. Is lootable. 99.9% of the loot is useless. The remaining 0.1% is key to solving several quests and/or the best stuff in the game.

The inventory is tetris-style. Lots of items arent squares or rectangles. Items do stack, but you can get them only by selecting and choosing "Take one/Take half/Take X". If you drop something it is GONE.

Oh my wife would love this game, that's basically all she likes to do in games. Someone needs to just make thief simulator for her.

Months after Red Dead Redemption came out for the PS3, my friend asked me why I didn't beat it yet. He opened up my inventory and he saw more hunted meat he ever thought someone could accumulate.

All I did was hunt in the game. It was one of the best hunting games of all time.

I had something like this with Final Fantasy IX. Like two-thirds of the way through the game, there's a minigame that crops up where you have to use a chocobo to walk around these tiny scenes and peck to try to echolocate hidden treasures within a time limit. And I don't know why, but I got totally addicted to that stupid little minigame, to the point that I kind of broke my brain and had to stop playing the entire game. I did later see some dorm mates in college getting frustrated with that task and get to just zip right through it for them, though, which made it feel slightly less like a savage waste of my lifespan.

Have you played RDR2? Those games have been suggested to me, but I have yet to get around to them. Are they worth playing still?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago

Bro fucking really?

RDR2 can be very tedious because Rcosktar hates giving players movement control over the character because muh immersion (highly recommend the first person mode), and it has a heavy dosage of cinematic shit, but god damn

It was one of the best games I've ever played. I just finished another playthrough recently.

I have only played the first one so all my opinions about the game are from reviews I read. I heard it's better than the first one and one of the games you should play.

I'm just jealous you'll get to play RDR2 for the first time. I'll never have my first time with it again.

I had 2 weeks off work years ago (don't worry, I'm not American, I get 4 weeks every year, this was just ONE instance of me taking PTO), but my plans for the vacation were canceled... And I had nothing to do. Lo' and behold, an xbox with RDR2 on it, for me to use when bored.

I essentially worked a full time job playing RDR2 that vacation and regretted none of it. Would've been happier to experience it the first time on my PC instead of a base Xbox One, but it's what I had available to me at that time. This was before the PC release, I'm normally a PC gamer and don't own any consoles myself.

This did not bother me at all in Skyrim honestly.

That's just an Elder Scrolls game, and I love it, for some reason.
