I've finished the game this week and found it thoroughly amazing. It's definitely one of the best games I've played, and lives up to the first one. The first hours were pretty hard since the controls are weird, and the pace of the game is different than the current games, but after that... My god, what an experience! Even the chores, which are designed on purpose to be annoying, are fun to do because it makes you soak in the character, in their lives.
But to me the outdoor experience was the best of all: most of the times I would set the cinematic camera, put my horse on auto mode and just enjoy the trip, and get consistently mesmerized by graphics and the overall ambient. I've played more than the estimated 65 hours and still have stuff to do to complete everything, and there are times where I would just stop to look at the place.
That being said, I think that the story is... good, I like Arthur, but to be fair the last arc was better paced, I think. There are some inconsistencies in overall but nothing major. The first RDR also has a ok-ish story to me too so I think this is fine. There are some flaws on some game mechanics too, like the camp you can build which is a bit useless IMO, and of course the controls which are sometimes hard to grasp.
Hi, lifelong python developer here. Is OCaml a good fit to do REST application servers? I've took a look a year ago but couldn't find well maintained libraries and it seems that the community is not so focused in general development. Am I wrong? OCaml seems really nice, I've been dabbling with rust for a while, and it feels great working with it but I'd like to try some purer functional languages too. My needs are basically a web container, some way to interface with SQL (ORM or a query builder, with support to PostGIS), some redis, some elasticsearch, nothing too fancy.
this is pretty neat! I was wondering, are there any projects to transpile python to js, but targeting the server side? It would be interesting to port a flask application, for example, to run on node and benefit from the jit, or maybe use express and call flask through its wsgi interface.
I guess as he mentioned on the blog it was a POC, if you just ignored the fact it's using the bitcoin api to track transactions it implements DB access, interaction with the event bus, websockets. I fail to see why it's not interesting.
