I thought it was great on my first playthrough, I dont have my save data anymore and now I just can't play it because it just takes so fucking long to let go of my hand
>>
>>730846732
Keep telling yourself that. Sitting through 50 hours of basic story written by video game writers doesn’t make you smart.
>>
Everything outside the main story gameplay was serviceable. Not enough variety in gun play or what enemies could do. Not enough incentive to be an outlaw. Money is worthless for a story that harps on about how broke the gang is. Hunting was the best part.

I enjoyed playing online when it first released.

I never finished the story.
>>
>>730846460
Very slow paced, but mandatory to play. Problem is there is absolutely zero reason to replay it.
>>
>>730847101
>Money is worthless for a story that harps on about how broke the gang is.
I felt the same.

I also thought making money was too easy. But I think they didn't want it to be too difficult or slow so players wouldn't get frustrated whenever they wanted to buy stuff.
>>
It's a really good fishing and hunting game with a movie plot attached

The game that filtered /v/ and provided the ultimate evidence this place is infested with ADHD bing bing wahooers.

Very relaxing for me cuz I mostly wander and hunt and fish and camp and birdwatch. Probably will replay every few years. Love it.

The controls are exhausting and didn't care for the story at all, still put in approximately 200 hours because the gore system and gunplay are pretty good. Never finished it though

The enemies and gun play is the best Rockstar has done. Enemies feel a lot more lively vs the wandering npcs in gta. >>730847934
In game money has never been tied to story money in Rockstar games. Im unsure how you would even implement that into a game that's focused on it. Maybe something like people always getting hurt or wagon breaking that makes you keep paying.

>>730848437
On one side you have money being easy to get and it feels strange when poverty is a major theme of the story, on the other hand if money was difficult you'd have people complaining that it takes too long to buy stuff and saying that it's padding play time.
>>
>>730849275
RDR2 needed more cash sinks, especially centered on the camp. You do a treasure hunt or two and you can max out the camp basically immediately. any donations to camp afterwards is just honor fodder, which is easy to maintain because there's no reason to participate in open world crime outside of challenges.
>>
>>730849470
They could have easily had apartments above bars and stuff you could rent or buy. Maybe have a river boat to buy.

Post game they could have you making a giant homestead with employees and stuff for livestock
>>
>>730846460
Beautiful slog. RDR1 was an actual game first.
>>
>>730848987
Also, I think the npc AI could be better. I'm on a roof and shoot every lawmen as they climb the ladders and dudes just keep climbing to their sure death without trying anything else, like a sniper or throwing dynamite or molotov to the roof. So it feels retarded at times but that's how it is with AI behaviour in games

I don’t mind the whole “nice guy Arthur” thing that they were going for bit sometimes it’s not even historically accurate. Even if Arthur wasn’t a racist and didn’t hate black folk, he still would’ve used words like negro or darkie.

put up with the slow ass pace of storytelling in the game for the first hour and a half only to immediately drop it when I accidentally walked 3 steps off the mission area and got a game over then uninstalled

Kino game that filtered no attention span phoneslop zoomies and ipad kids. The best game of all time.

Crap for millenials, women and "dad gamers" who just want an interactive movie and hate gaming. Also it's a hate letter to cowboy media.

Reminded me a lot of Sony slop honestly. Yeah it's pretty but the gameplay sucked and the story is crazy overrated.

Why do zoomers larp as old people then claim this zoomer game filters younguns. Millennials didnt grow up playing movie games

It's a masterpiece in the wild west genre obviously and you all said so when it dropped.
Contrarians are so uppity lately.
Maybe too boring in the middle but I still had no problem finishing it and I easily quit many games.

Worse than RDR1 in every other way.
>>
>>730849367
Its story is tied to the GTA format which works better. A criminal coming up and living a lavish lifestyle for it to crumble makes more sense. Its gay to say but the game needed more misery. Going to stores and realizing early on that the only way to make enough was robbing people/stealing supplies or fully committing to mountain man hunting to make all your own gear would naratively fit better.
>>
>>730851015
>pushes woke crap in the most non annoying way
I don't know. That whole segment where you're riding to the new camp listening to Hosea blabbering on about whitey man bad, indian savages good was one of the lowest points of the game for me.

So you prefer strategy games (based) and fighting games (which fucking suck lmao). That doesn't mean RDR2 is bad, it just means you don't like it.
Also Call of Juarez is garbage and always has been. The original RDR fucking mogs the shit out of that slop.
>>
>>730846460
Whoever ruined this game by thinking that sluggish movements + awful input lag would make this game more realistic must hang.
I dropped it twice, and yes I pushed past the prologue. All the missions following the patented rockstar limited exclusive path on which you must trod along unless you want to be handed a game over are also NOT HELPING.
>>
>>730851882
>Also Call of Juarez is garbage and always has been
No, lol.
Gunslinger is an actual love letter to the wild west and cowboy media that also explores that period in an interesting way through the nuggets of truth
RDR2 is a "western" made by women and their pussywhipped simps who hate anything masculine or "video gamey" so they made the whole game slow, clumsy and "realistic" while putting feminist crap and anti-racist preaching all over the place, together with making the story about being BETTER MEN.

I play games to have fun. If not being able to press X to call an NPC the nigger word actually makes a game less fun for you, then I think you have serious mental retardation.

pretty good if not ideal, but a weird comparison. 'what if capcom made beyond good and evil'?
>>
>>730852354
Yes, the fact that a game I'm playing was made by women and their pussywhipped simps trying to "educate" me is definitely a deal breaker.
>>
>>730846460
Better with mods.
Either play the story with Ped damage overhaul only or turn it into a pseudo imsim survival game if you are post game. Either way use the new version of Ped damage overhaul with extended bleedouts and it's kino

>>
>>730846460
I just can't understand why people love it.
I personally play lots of VNs and story driven games, and enjoy those. RDR2 is a huge game and relatively story-light, because the majority of the game is filled with sluggish, unresponsive, and incredibly shallow game play. It's mind boggling how R* spends hundreds of millions of dollars making their games and they perfect nearly everything about it except for the actual game.
>>
>>730846460
Game punishes you for having fun.

>commit some crimes, have epic shootout with police
>escape and lose the cops
>oops sorry since you dared be an outlaw in the video game about being an outlaw you now have a bounty 3x as large as the amount you made from your crime

For a game about doing crime it sure seems to hate when you actually do crime.

The first chapter goes on for way too long and the only thing worse than that is Guarma
>>
>>730856295
>the only thing worse than that is Guarma
Qrd?

Guarma is way too locked down with the invisible sniper. Plus unless you explore what little you can between two missions it's completely on rails.

The game suffers from bloat in general and should've ended after youre in the mansion in the swamp area. There's a shit ton of unnecessary missions that dont really add much to the story and they feel more like side quests that were made mandatory otherwise every character wouldn't get some type of depth added to them, when they dont fucking need it.
>>
>>730856045
>I just can't understand why people love it.
It's generally considered the best looking game of all time and it's quite comfy with memorable characters, even if the gameplay isn't very good.

Everything takes forever to do, and the gameplay isn't fun enough to make up for it
>>
In terms of production values and presentation it is still peerless some 6-7 years on from release (fucking how long?). No game has released that's as polished, graphically or technically as impressive as what R*managed to do with RDR2.
The story is okay, the characters are okay. The overall 'vibe' is fantastic, just riding your horse around exploring/hunting is very good on it's own.
My main criticism is that the story drags on too long and is perhaps too repetitive. Dutch gets fucking annoying after a while. The mission gameplay also just isn't that good. R* pushed the envelope in terms of presentation but is essentially still building their mission gameplay around a formula that is decades old and was just about barely serviceable when it was first used in GTA3.
All you day is:
>ride here to talk to NPC
>get mission to ride all the way over here, often with some lengthy dialogue
>get to destination and have a shootout
>ride all the way back/elsewhere with more dialogue

Rinse and repeat 100+ times throughout the main story. They need to do better with GTA VI and inject some variety into it. They need to open up the mission structures to allow you to approach missions differently, more inventively... A little more immersive sim than the ancient A-B-shootout-B-C stuff from this game.
So yeah, on the one hand it's peerless and still technically a marvel to behold and on the other it's an extremely dated game that is actually so boring I refuse to play through it again.

When you freeroam and explore/do what you want it's amazing. Tons of cool easter eggs and sights to see. and it's fun just being a cowboy and taking on bandits while hunting and living off the land.
But the game DEMANDS you stop having fun after a while and sends characters after you to complain about you not visiting the camp in ages, plus the story is shit.
>>
>>730860887

To add to this I'll say that because of the story and mission gameplay issues I actually much preferred the online as it reduced the game to pretty much just exploration and added some slight RPG mechanics to everything that made it really 'comfy' to roam around parts of the world, collecting stuff, having shootouts with bandit groups and levelling up to acquire better guns and equipment.
Unfortunately, R* completely fucking ruined the experience with their unbelievably heeby business practices and turned the entire thing into a massive pay to win grindfest that nuked all fun sense of progression and made it intolerable to play.
Between that and a sudden deluge of hacking chinks in every lobby it became unplayable and I gave up on it.
Perhaps the RP scene has breathed some life into the online maybe I'll check it out at some point.
>>
>>730846732
If you want a far superior story read Blood Meridian, if you want far superior gameplay play almost anything else. RDR2 has no reason to exist
