Boring as FUCK

Nope but never played rdr2, never played gta v either. Last r* game I played was LA Noir

Pleb filter operating as normal.

>>713219970
I left the mountain, played up until the worst mission in any videogame ever (you know the one), and then wandered around in the open world for a bit and afterwards dropped the game altogether.

>>713219707 (OP)
The people that hate this game all didn't know how to play it.

>>713220442
This even if you find the story and the gang cringe you can play up until near the end of Chapter 3 and then just fuck off and roam around doing side missions, bounty hunting, hunting, fishing and doing general lifesim stuff as a lone outlaw at the end of the 19th century. Add mods and you have a completely different game

you can tell rockstar ran out of ideas at the end of chapter 2 because the games just a downward slog after that

>>713219707 (OP)
everyone knows, zoomer

>>713220608
Exactly. The best thing about it for me was it's world. The gameplay also gets an overly bad wrap. It's not bad when you get a feel for it.

Tell your parents you want to go to a doctor and get a ADHD inquiry, zoom zoom.

>up until the worst mission in any videogame ever (you know the one)
I don't know the one. The mission that made me stop playing was the one where you get TB or whatever. I did it, knew exactly what was going to happen for the rest of the story, and just dropped it right there.

>>713220704
I had that feeling also like Rockstar was rushing or panicking to finish the game, the game's writing gets progressively worse each chapter

>>713219707 (OP)
Could have been the greatest game of all time if it had a pair of balls and a greater mind for better writing. It was too held back and generic on some parts

>>713219707 (OP)
zoomer the thread

>>713220870
Nah it was well before that. It was the Micah jailbreak mission where your character canonically commits genocide.

>just wander around, zoomer
>oh but the game will impose random restrictions on you that completely break immersion every 5 or so minutes
You people are fucking braindead. Euro Truck Sim has a better world than this

>>713221017
>>oh but the game will impose random restrictions on you that completely break immersion every 5 or so minutes
What are you talking about? The retarded restrictions are primarily in it's story missions, and in the very begginning in the intro.

>>713221010
Just a little village cleansing. Relax it was only a couple of dozens of husbands and sons.

>>713221010
Oh I forgot that happened. I don't think I remember a single other mission from this game.

The problem is that the story missions are super linear and at odds with the open world sandbox.
At the same time the sandbox is kind of empty. The interesting looking areas don't really have anything to do outside of missions, and hunting or random encounters quickly become repetitive.

The whole "GTA formula" is just really dated and no longer exciting.

>>713219707 (OP)
have you tried lynching a black man?

>>713221096
Lmfao no they're literally everywhere. The game reminds you you're using a controller with how dogshit the controls are, it forsakes realism just to play you pretty animations constantly, it autoaims and autowalks and autoruns and autosteers.

>>713221010
Total Strawberrian Death

>>713221387
Oh, I see what you mean. You know I noticed the last time I played the game a number of anomolies and problems I didn't recal being a problem before and one of them, was what felt like a dumbed down, much more handholdy horse autosteering thing, like the game wouldn't let me ragdoll my horse WHEN I WANTED TO RAGDOLL MY HORSE. I don't know if that's what you mean by that, but I agree, that's very annoying and it works to the detriment of a perfectly fine game. This was after a long time of not playing the game and then updating it to play it again. Fundamentally I don't have issues with the slowness or realism in and of itself though, I don't think that's on the level of it's missions restriction problem. It's not for everyone but it wasn't an issue for me. The thing about it's "slowness" is, it WILL give you the sense you described IF you don't really fully grasp it. I don't know how to describe it exactly, but it's almost like you have to lead it and simultaneously have a process going on in your mind that's a potentiated version of the game as you actively depotentiate it. Maybe that's retarded, it's been a while since I've played the game, but I fundamentally do grasp some of peoples problems with the game, I just don't think they really go far enough to overcome it's issues, assuing they can. It's a but weird in some ways and the experience I got from the game was a bit jarring and almost overwhelming when I first played, like I couldn't quite get a feel for it like I could with other games, it took a while. I think that may just be the fundamental problem, a lot of people look for something immediately snappy so it feels jarring to them. Is that right?

>>713221519
My favorite character. They don't make them like they used to.

Metacritic score of 97 is ridiculous
It’s a good game, but still really overrated.
The score should be like an 83

>>713221519
This guy was right about everything, best character in the game.

>>713222027
Imagine complaining about things being dumbed down in rockstar garbage.

>>713222027
>animal perceives danger
>n-noo they don't want me to have fun
What the fuck is wrong with you retards?

>>713219707 (OP)
Yeah it's really bad.

>>713222479
If rockstar games are dumbed down sandboxed why dumb down that very dumbed down sandbox to destroy the very purpose of it? That's a whole other layer of retarded. I reject the premise though.
>>713222481
It felt way more restrictive last I played. One of the things I like about rockstars games are the physics. If they did worsen it as I suspect they did then it was fucking pointless and not about "realistic animal behavior" but rather making the game handholdy for the lowest common denominator of players who probably didn't even care for the game, and there was no reason to change it. Horses avoiding hitting things wasn't a late addition, it was always there but it felt overbearing last I played, like where I once could intentionally charge my horse into a tree, the game employed a magic floaty bullshit spell. It stopped feeling like it was avoiding and began to feel like the game was programmed to give the middle finger to physics, which guess what? Is ironically even LESS realistic.

>is the best part of the game
>need to get through a 40 hour slogfest just to get through it
>ends abruptly and gives you a gorillion dollars (cos haha it’s just like gta 5!)
Imagine if guarma didn’t exist and the whole of new Austin was utilised properly, I don’t even care about Mexico because John canonically hasn’t been there until rdr1
