Percentages aren't loving common core :v: what the hell

Am I really showing you something you don't know by pointing out that .5 = 50% ?

When I started learning how to program/code video games as a side hobby I figured "oh no, I'm going to h ave to do all that math stuff I hated in high school". But then I realized that I am sitting at a computer and I can just make the computer do the math for me. v:geno:v

edit: "You're not going to always have a scientific calculator in your pocket", said my high school teacher before the invention of smartphones

We had TI-83s in high school.

And I wrote programs to do the math for me. They made you clear out the calc memory before you could take a test, but if you knew how to re-write the program nobody stopped you :evilbuddy:

Anyway, those silhouettes don't match RDR's characters so at least we can be sure it's a sequel and not just a PS4 re-release or something.

But what if we're not sure it's a sequel?

I can't imagine it's a sequel, since the west ain't so wild by the time the game ends. I imagine we'll see a cameo from a younger version of a character or two from redemption. Perhaps one protagonist will be Landon Ricketts.

Yeah it is persona 2

the pics aren't mine btw, I just found them via google

IMO the first persona 2 was much better than the second persona 2 and they should have switched around some of the plot points because it felt like some of the best parts were in the first one.

I liked Red Dead Redemption but I got tired of it and didn't finish it because it has Rockstar Fatigue problems in its writing and world design. I don't understand the people who wanted to marry it, it was just a decent sandbox game that happened to have way less to do than GTA.

A western setting with solid gameplay and story-telling goes a long way. There just aren't a lot of games like it even if it doesn't have as much repetitive content as GTA.

The feeling I got from the string of missions on Bonnie's farm, just after Marston gets his poo poo pushed in at the very start of the game, I have never felt again in any Rockstar game I've played since. That game's writing and tone are drat good.

Gun was fun at the time but I can't help but feel like Neversoft had gotten spoiled by half a decade of annual Tony Hawk sequels because reading interviews they were already talking about features and time periods they had planned for the sequels but then the actual game was kind of barren and wound up not being successful enough to get a sequel at all.

Gun had a really big marketing push, they obviously expected it to do way better than it did.
