I imagine I’ll do a bit of those as I liked to do a bit of that in the first game anyways. Nice and meditative in small doeses. Definitely not going to bother hunting for upgrades and achievements though - I plan to try and roleplay as a drunk, hapless cowboy as much as possible.

HURRAH! This is correct. Tempted to start it again from the beginning, again but I’m really far behind on my reading challenge already so that would be a bad idea.

It narrowly missed out to Frog Fractions soz.

Possibly yeah, I largely stopped playing games after PS2 so I’ve never devoted anywhere near as much time to IV or V other than going on rampages so can’t really compare them. V’s got one absolutely bangin radio station though.

I did loads of hunting and crafting etc in the early game and it dragged the pace down loads, later on in the game it became clear I really shouldn’t have bothered especially not early on so I recommend mainlining it until it becomes very clear whether you should be doing side stuff or not

Fair enough! It seemed to be taking ages to open up from the little I’d played so I’ll probably drive headlong through it until it’s apparent I’m at least in the main meat of the game.

God damn it Rockstar…

It’s a long story, but a good’un.

Hunting’s great when you’ve finished though

I’[m collecting the perfect carcasses and having a great time

personally disagree, was so glad when I finished that game so I could stop playing it

Haven’t played it for about six months. Maybe I’ll boot it up again on the weekend and just have a little mosey. See if Gavin’s turned up yet.

I think I have the hunting and the cigarette cards to find then might consider it done

cba with fishing

yeah I know I figured that when I bumped into the same guy doing the same thing in the epilogue!

The original Pokemon mania was at the end of the 1990s though. Red and Blue were 1996, plus the cards and cartoon. The games have never really been a craze again (and were all basically iterations on the same formula) - the only one you could make a case for is Pokemon Go which was huge for a month (and still among some hardcore weirdos :wink:)
