How in the fuck did this sell 85 million copies? There's no way these zoomers with their attention span actually beat this whole thing
huh, reality conflicts with my -oomer generational categorization! perhaps i'm wrong to presume all people of X generation like Y thing or have Z preferences?
>>741916632I dunno about zoomers but old people like actual boomers love this game for some reason. I guess it being a proper cowboy simulation really resonates with a lot of people.
>>741916632>How in the fuck did this sell 85 million copies?chapter 3. the rest was trash.
Young zoomers and Gen Alpha hate it because it’s a shitty movie game. Old zoomers and millennials love movie games
>>741917441How the fuck is Ratchet cinematicBasedtubers are such retards
>>741916632that game only sold because of the hype. I fucking hate that game
>>741916632Most didn't but it's babby's first western and a lot of zoomoids grabbed it after seeing Rockstar made it.
>>741916632It’s one of like 6 games that my adult 30+ year old sister owns. I have no idea why but she got it off the eshop at some point in the last couple years. She said she played it for about 10 minutes and hasn’t touched it since. Rockstar just has some weird magnetism for NPC non gamers
>>741916632it's inoffensive. the same reason /v/ hates it
>>741917998Your adult 30+ year old sister has the attention span of a toddler
>>741916632I hate open world games, but i bought this one and the first because there aren't really any cowboy games, so its interesting
>>741916632Cause the creators are rockstars :^)
>>741916632I was surprised hearing the other day that it's like top top 3 highest selling game of all time, figured it did good but nothing that crazy, honestly can't even remember if I finished the story or not
>>741917998Is she hot?
>>741916632are only "zoomers" allowed to buy this game, retard?most fans of RDR are us millennials
>>741916632this is a top videogame ever released anons and im sorry of pretending otherwiseThis map in sheer visuals wont be beaten until 2030i mean its already the 2nd half of 2020s and the best open world map so far has been Cyber Punk....
>>741916632>60 hours worth of content if you just play the storyline>100 hours of content if you do side missions and activities>200 hours worth of content for 100% completion>Still one of the most visually impressive and dynamic game worlds every created>chock-full of great characters and acting>tons of things to do outside of the main quest, including a very sophisticated hunting system that is diverse and rewarding>can play as a good guy or just a straight up psychopath>tons of interesting random encounters>emotional depth rarely seen in the medium>beat the main game, and the goddamn epilogue is another 6-8 hoursGee anon, I wonder why it's a popular game and why you're a contrarian faggot.
>>741916632For me RDR2 was a one and done game. RDR1 is much more appropriate for multiple playthroughs and I believe I've done 3 at least.I never touched it again even after PC release. It was their biggest game to date yet even GTA V felt more appropriate for multiple playthroughs. I really don't know what drags it down so much but it's harder to approach than everything they've done so far. Whether that's a good or bad thing i don't know. But one playthrough is enough to say you've seen it all. Come back again in a long ass time. I don't ever play their online modes.
>>741916763i am 35 and it's in my top 5. i got my actual real life cowboy coworker to buy a ps4 and play it. dude owns a farm with cows and horses and he hunts and fishes and rides trails for fun. when he's not doing that, he's doing it in RDR2>mfw
>>741921076>But one playthrough is enough to say you've seen it all.It's actually chock full of so many small details you definitely hadn't seen it all in one playthrough, it's just you don't want to engage in their gameplay loop which gets tested to its extreme in RDR2 due to the era its in inherently having less fun to fuck around with shit like a fucking fighter jet.At the end of the day a significant chunk of the game is matching the other persons speed on horseback to wait for them to finish monologuing about world events/story narrative before a self contained mission starts where you shoot a bunch of people in an atmospheric set piece, and it's a tragedy.How many people want to go through getting attached to Arthur again, and have him be coughing up tuberculous phlegm the entire chapter you're dicking around in after unlocking everything.
>>741920660i love the TECHNOLOGY in the game
>>741916632The vast majority of games have completion rates below 20%. This one is no different. They played for a few weeks, got bored and never touched it again. More people have seen the ending on streams than on their own screens.
>>741920298>30+ year oldWhat do you think?
>>74192027485 million copies is unbelievable for this game, it feels like it doesn’t even get a fraction of the cultural momentum of games like Elden Ring despite selling almost 3x more. It’s like no one who bought it even played it
>>741916632Zoom zooms saw "make by the people who made GTA5".
>>741916632>>741916632If they can look past the social messaging, the gang being an incoherent mess of progressive beliefs that don't add for the time and the other retarded stuff that's more or less thinly veiled political jabs the actual game itself can be quite relaxing. It's basically GTA for boomers. Pure escapism for them.
>>741920660Tell me what is so diverse and rewarding about the hunting system>uh you can craft this satchel that lets you carry one more of each of these items that you don't even need because the game is braindead easy!The only reason to do hunting is for the sake of completionism, there is no real reward for it besides being able to dress your arthur like a retard
>>741921385>when he's not doing that, he's doing it in RDR2 Does he have german heritage perhaps?
>>741916632>average age of a gamer is 37 years old>they like Cowboys and they like Space>RDR2 and Starfield are the most successful games of the generationMakes sense to me
>>741916632I mean it's a good looking game and shooting shit is fun. jrpg shit, now that requires actual attention span.
>>741924726>the gang being an incoherent mess of progressive beliefs that don't add for the time>Micah is supposed to be the worst of the worst >Still won't call Lenny a niggerI really don't get why they're so scared of making actual scumbags in games. It's 1899 and Micah is clearly racist and a total psychopath yet never escalates beyond being... a bit mean. You can't even use his murders as an example because Arthur kills FAR more people in the story.
>>741919316No, RDR2 is just a shitty experience.
>>741916632Maybe you're just wrong and prejudiced.
>>741916632Middle aged women love games like that. They're like TV shows but they trick the audience into thinking they're totally in control and are making a huge difference to the outcome of the story.
>>741926958Starfield looked so dogshit I didn't even seriously consider buying it
>>741916632It's a good game.
>>741926958>StarfieldWas that a success?
