Red Dead Redemption II

I wonder if that'll happen to me as I know nothing of the first one for the most part.

[BillyG]

Apparently a lot of control options to get rid of annoying Rockstar shit like the tap to run and such.

[Abraham Smashington]

Holy shit this is boring so far.

[Abraham Smashington]

Lesley tried this game yesterday while I was at work. Her thoughts were "It's so boring. All you do is ride on a fucking horse and follow people and listen to shit I don't care about."

Made me laugh.

Their insistence to this "realistic" shit is grating as fuck and not fun. I know I'll be the only one with this opinion, but I want a game to be fun. I could give two shits if it's programmed to have horse balls shrink in the cold, or have your gun rust if it gets wet. I just want it to be fun and so far these first 3 hours are a fucking SLOG. Way too fucking tedious and having to adhere to realistic shit is lame (gun stuff in particular) and their inventory system is fucking ABYSMAL, the stuff in the camps is balls (so slooooowwwwww), and the horse handles kind of shitty (MGSV and ASS CREED ODY do this shit way better).

Does this get better?

I felt the same way about their design philosophy after GTA 5. Return to the unreal, stop trying to make things so rigid, and reward the player with something unexpected that adds to the genre’s tropes.

Fuck, they spend enough time on gussying their worlds up, why not extend that to mechanics?

Glad I am out of town for the street date, as it sounds like trepidation was warranted with jumping into it.

I got my horse Superdude and I tricked her out.



However, the distance between towns and the camp bullshit is killing my patience with the game.

[Jan]

Soooo boring.

[Abraham Smashington]

I feel like I can definitively say that this game is balls.

[BillyG]

Well, I'll just stay outta here.

[Abraham Smashington]

I wish all consoles had the ability to refund purchases like steam. The only thing I'm curious about now is whether or not Ceej will enjoy this as he got super baked at bought it late at night because he has no will power.

You're not wrong. I hit chapter 5 last night, and my thoughts on the game are not positive, so far.

[Abraham Smashington]

I was curious as to what you were going to think about it Fil.

I legit wonder how this game will fare in a few months once people's honeymoon phase is over.

[Anderson]

I'm on Chapter 2 and doing more side shit than doing the story.


I'm enjoying that way more and I got to see my horse take a shit into a water trough last night.



Plus, I tied up a witness to my crimes and left him on the train tracks for a train to destroy.

Downloading now. Going to give a fair assessment free of the majority of its marketed hype.
