The gameplay is boring, the shooting is lifted from GTA V where it wasn't great to begin with but in GTA you at least had rocket launchers, grenades and so on to spice up the monotony, here it's just "duck behind cover, pop out, shoot one or two dudes, crouch again, repeat", the exact same thing people have been complaining about games doing for the last 10 years, but it's okay when rockstar does it!
The "realism" just boils down to having to do a bunch of tedious shit for a while, there's no challenge, strategy or resource management, you see your cores are low and you refill them, I struggle to name a more pointless mechanic.
The mission structure is the same throughout the game. You ride a horse next to some dude who dumps exposition at you, then you come to a place where something tame is supposed to happen but OH NO COMPLICATIONS and then there's a shootout. Sometimes you also have to chase someone or whatever (and there's rubber banding so you'll never catch him before the intended spot where he ends up) but it's mostly just this. It's very repetitive and drags on for WAY too long.
>but the story
There's no choices aside from picking an ending. Thus it's a movie game and you might as well just watch it on YouTube. It's also not a great story, most of the shit in the middle can be cut and it wouldn't lose anything aside from a few key moments that could be placed anywhere. It goes like this
>gang needs money
>they try to get it
>complications arrise, some bad guy appears
>the gang moves somewhere else
And they repeat the same thing 6 times. It's also painfully obvious who the villain will be from start, I won't say who in case you don't have the two and a half braincells to figure it out and don't want spoilers but Jesus it's obvious but it takes Arthur years to figure out.
Overall there is nothing impressive about this game aside from the graphics, for which I don't care for, and the open world, which isn't utilised as much as it could be.
RDR2, what a garbage game
Two things piss me off personally in this game:
1. The day ciryle and weather goes way too fast. Like the day is over in a couple minutes and the rain is gone in 30 seconds after it started.
2. The absolute bullshit bounty system. Some guy starts shooting at you in the middle of the city and no guard go after them, but as soon as you even pull your gun out the guards start to fucking mass raid to kill you. You insult someone? Bounty. You look at someone? Bounty. You defend yourself? Bounty.
The director who made this game obviously didn't play it for longer than half n hour.
Reminder there was a guy at rockstar who said he wanted to make the shooting not boring and brought up some ideas in a meeting. They fired him because it wasn't "realistic" enough.
>tl;dr
Boo hoo, faggot, more for me
weakest bait I've seen in years
>RDR2, what a garbage game
do you motherfuckers like anything? why play games at all?
It's funny because most of Zig Forums would consider me a pleb for enjoying Skyrim
RDR2 is just not a pleasant experience.
This game would be so fuckin sick if you could get a GTA dirt bike in there.
Don't forget Arthur controlled like he's permanently drunk with about a second of input delay.
not an argument
yeah the bounty system is completely fucked.
I agree and I couldn't put more than 30 hours in this game.
No freedom.
No fun.
No rhythm.
No appealing characters.
Legit. RDR2 is easily the worst game i have played this gen.
While I absolutely disagree with your opinion, I respect it. I actually find the more realistic element of RDR2 enhances the experience. Riding with characters is great if you pay attention to the characters and understand what makes them unique between eachother.
I rarely find bounty hunters in city, they always target me on the road, so I never encounter this problem.
And if you have an issue with the ‘repetitive moving’ nature of the game, that’s basically what real gang life was like. You had to constantly be on the move otherwise you would get nailed by the pinkertons.
what realistic elements? you see stamina core get low you sit down and bumble about for s few minutes, it's JUST a time waster. Like if you actually had to build a campfire and shit it'd be cool but you don't do any of that.
didn't read
Pleb
lmao cope
Very insightful thank you!
Source?
I heard it on a GTA V speedrun stream, seemed legit.
Rockstar drone cope
Knocked over a sign while chasing down some dude who I beat to death in the street. Got a bounty for vandalism.
My biggest gripe is the retarded horse. I gallop headlong at a rock nearly as tall as it and it's a steeple chase master, I come across an ankle high rock or fence and it's snap city for the horse while I land in the next state.
>Look at me I'm retarded
I have a plan, user. But I need you WITH me, not AGAINST me.
the entire storyline bwould be avoided if Arthur EVEN ONCE asked what the plan is
MANGOES
RDR2 is the best game of the generation, by far
its a real pretty game but other than that is a boring fetch quest after another might as well play an MMO
I disagree
mind elaborating on that a bit? Sounds like buyers remorse if you just want to say "no"
t. bought it full price and now has to justify it t himself
>RDR2, what a garbage game
Arthur knows the main villain is a villain, he calls him a snake after all, he just thought Dutch was being paranoid about there being a rat.
Nah, I just had my fair share of fun with it
>150 hours
yeah after that amount of time some form of mental illness is bound to set in
can you at least try to answer any of OP's points other than "herp derp it's fun"?
He did, and the answer was "I need more time", "I have a plan", "we're family" or some rival gang turning up to start shit. The problem is Arthur never pressed the issue. Dutch says "I've got it", so Arthur just accepts it and walks away and only questions things after the fact. His loyalty blinds him to the realities of Dutch until it's impossible to ignore and then he thinks Dutch has changed instead of likely always having been someone who thinks on his feet, has a keen mind for a frontiersman, but has ultimately been caged by the industrialisation and expansion of the "civilised" parts of America into the "wild frontier". It's easy to rob a bank and get away if they don't have train, pony express or telegraph lines to tell literally everyone in the state what you just did.
I didn't read him, I read the title that said the game is garbage and I said I disagreed. I wouldn't even be in this thread anymore if you hadn't replied to me. I couldn't care less what other people's opinions on a game are.
>having fun with a game is a mental illness
ok
