lol.

Every single open world game which has flower picking as a mechanic. Witcher, Horizon Zero Dawn, RDR2 and so on. No-one wants to pick flowers.

Ha. That's weird, it wasn't there an hour ago.

Anyone have an idea when 326 will appear on the Google Newsstand?

By the "Revolutionary" measure, there's surely no doubt at all that RDR2 is up there. It's an incredible work of art, even from the few hours I've put into it. Whether it's any good as a game is a whole different question. Not that Edge even sticks to a "Revolutionary" yardstick. @K always gets much more out of the virtual tourism thing in games than I do, (the modern GTAs and Assassin's Creed left me cold, but I know you love them for that) but so far I'm in love with RDR2 - stupid horses and all - in a way I haven't been for sad Sopranos.

The worry I would have, if this indeed a response to worryingly low player numbers/engagement, is that they've put vanilla D2 for free on PS Plus, and vanilla D2 for free on PC. And vanilla D2 is the version that was bad and drove all the users away in the first place. Forsaken is probably up there with the best Destiny has been, and maybe Activision need to eat some short term profits and put that version into people's hands with some sort of on-boarding process. Putting vanilla D2 more widely just seems like a way to have more people decide Destiny isn't for them.

(First time for everything) I'm with Meh. Yakuza is rubbish.

And, of course, the classic hometown gin:

It sort of looks like you were holding L2 the whole time, although I agree with your general point that the controls are awkward.

Astonishingly Welsh action. I have a whole new perspective on @Thor and @Mr Ben when we're raiding next.

What a delusional man.

Unparalleled world, great experience, terrible controls.

Chapter 2: I've been doing the mission for the Stranger in Valentine who wants you to Most of it ends up in duels, and I still don't really understand how they work. The in-game tip says to depress R2 slowly, but I don't really get why sometimes I win, and most times I lose. Anyone got a better English way of explaining the duel?

Pretty pissed off with Micah. Freeing that dickhead cost me $300 in bounty to pay off. Wanker.

The main Valentine saloon has a game.
