LIKE RIDING A PAMPAS BULL AMIGO

I'm sorry but RDR1 warrants the skipping of every goddamned cutscene. The cold-headed cynic John encounters wacky self-serving douchebags and throws ironic remarks every second sentence. Wow.
Thank god for Arthur.

>>720352584
>cold-headed
Goddamn i wrote this...

>>720352584
>hey I heard you have information for me
>yes, but first you must do my quests, then I will point you to the next one
>grrr okay
Skippable game, frankly.

they really retroactively made john the ultimate bitch in 2
>left his woman and child to be a deadbeat, came crawling back anyways and then couldn't decide whether he actually wanted it or not
>constantly fucking up, you get the impression he's not actually that good at being a gunslinger even in the epilogue
>shot/captured/mauled/cucked by arthur in his absence/held at knife point etc
>spits on arthur's sacrifice after a near-decade of shooting people and ignoring it anyway to go kill micah and lead ross right to his own front door
after playing rdr1 I'd say john was a good man and got his redemption, his son's poor choices be damned (for he had given him the choice to make)
after playing rdr2 I'd say john was a lucky retard who managed to outlast the others for arbitrary reasons and his son was fucked no matter what happened, it was all false hope from the start

>>720352584
>"John I need you to help me do some stupid bullshit to scam people"
>grr ok old man but you'd better not be screwing me over. Right after this you're gonna help me get Williamson or else I'll kill you
>"Ehehe right right of course John"
And then you do another 4 or 5 missions with this same exact kino exchange.

>>720352584
John is not as cynical with objectively good people, or at least people who stick their necks out for him. He respects the MacFarlanes, Marshall Johnson and Landon Ricketts. He even went out on a limb to get Nigel West Dickens freed from the glowies, he obviously deeply dislikes him for being a fraudulent con artist, but he still respects him for keeping true to his word and helping him siege Fort Mercer. Someone who's family is being held hostage while being forced to do government spooks' dirty work obviously is going to have little credulousness to go around in a world full of self-serving cunts

>The cold-headed cynic John
whell considering he's in a hurry to relunctantly capture or kill his old gang because the glowniggers kidnapped his wife and son and threatens to kill them, and has to deal with all kinds of retards with irrelevant problems
id say his attitude is pretty realistic

>>720353408
>Will you leave these poor people alone old man? It’s bad enough they’re stuck on a board about vidya games and can’t talk about nary one of ‘em without some lawjanny sniffing around and snuffing em out for the hell of it. The last thing they need is one of your Gamer “fuels” givin ‘em dysentery

>Mr. Ross wants to speak with you. We've had some... important developments.
How do you respond without sounding cold-headed?

>>720353754
i do love how in every poker game he was the easiest to bust because hes mostly likely to go all in

>>720353727
why didnt John just go to the press?

>>720353727
I do a 360 and walk to the nearest store to get a hat to keep my head warm-headed

>>720353870
It was sort of implied that Ross had/has a positive reputation in the public eye. I’m sure any reporter would believe the police detective over the former murderous outlaw

It is a beautiful thing.

>>720353823
And the nigger is the last one at the table because he's stingy and folds at the slightest raise. Most irritatingly time wasting play style

>>720353870
>john gets zero sympathy from the public the second the press mysteriously attains his old crime records and extravagant bounties that the FBI has access to (given that they tracked him down from jim milton to begin with and can tie him to his original sprees with dutch)
>ross has no leverage anymore and assigns his wife to being in the comfort unit of a maximum security penitentiary as spiteful punishment, jack gets an orphanage and his own fleshy glove atrocities
>feds tell the paper not to print that shit and run john down with the US army as he tries to get to the prison in a last-ditch attempt
>he gets shot down in a random field somewhere the same way, abigail dies anyway and jack grows up to be a resentful hoodlum murderer who wants ross dead at all costs anyway
I guess things wouldn't have been that different, just more rape all around

RDR1 is so good. Replayed it multiple times and the remaster is really good too.

one thing i will never get over with RDR2 is how they just got rid of random duels in the street
like who actually argued against this cool random event?
im playing RDR right now and im always overjoyed when some faggot gives me the oppertunity to flex all over him

>>720354419
RDR2 is really the anti-fun of vidya. Go attend this feminist demonstration with minimum gameplay, fucker.

>>720354419
>antagonize or find a surly faggot and stand around him
>wait for the guy to start bitching then draw his gun
>lightly press/"fill" right trigger as if you were in the duel minigame
you'll launch right into dead eye while drawing your gun at the same time, it's functionally the same thing without the music sting and animation setting it up
tangential but crouching while in melee does an uppercut too, there's a bunch of stuff you don't really notice or aren't told

>>720352584
Never become a game designer.

>>720354551
i feel like the entire existance of that game basicly invalidates alot of RDR's story
especially with how John speaks of the past (and how Bill, Javier and Dutch act) it sounded like the gang was a real bunch of outlaws not this goody two shoes shit
RDR2 being a prequel was a mistake, they should have set it in 1889 with landon as the MC and only have the Van Der Linde gang appear as a cameo

>>720354619
>>antagonize or find a surly faggot and stand around him
not really the same thing, in RDR a random bloke on the street can approach you to duel
>>720354619
>it's functionally the same thing without the music sting and animation setting it up
presentation adds to the experience

speaking of things they removed in RDR2, they also removed cheating in Poker wich lead to some fun duels

>>720354705
Yes the narrative in 2 undermines 1 hard as fuck and also removes the mystery of an outlaw gang with a deluded sense of morality.

>>720354801
>in RDR a random bloke on the street can approach you to duel
this is in RDR2, you might have missed them
there's duels near all the saloons, if you never went to one other than story missions you wouldn't have seen them
there's also that entire questline with the gunslingers and dueling them but I suppose you're wanting specifically random event type ones

Only thing I hate about this game is how at the beginning of the story it locks you out of 2/3rds of the map. If you want to start grindong side content like outfits you'll have to wait till the very end of the story to wear your favorite outfit at which point, it's already sucked the enjoyment out of it since you only get to wear the badass black duster coat for 4 or 5 missions before the epilogue

>>720354398
same

>>720355153
there’s basically only one random npc duel that you get approached for and that’s the one in Valentine

>>720355153
>cant choose to disarm the gunslingers, always have to kll them
shit game design

>>720352584
Get this cold head in here

>>720352948
John helped overthrow a foreign government while in the employ of the US federal government. regardless of his motivations, he's a proto-glowie. there is absolutely no redemption in that.

For me, its the elegant suit

>>720352584
This. Every cutscene that isn't with Bonnie, the Sheriff, or Ricketts is just John talking with quippy characters straight out of a marvel movie before marvel.

>>720353653
>John, of course the miracles of this fuel would fly over someone with uhh ''lesser brain capacity's'''head

you didn't play RDR2 retards, there are random event duels

>>720359629
you can disarm them retard

Replaying RDR2. Rescued Sean yesterday and stayed up all night at his welcome back party.

The only party I’ve ever been invited to! RDR2 is great. Rockstar is great. Video games are great.

>>720366532
Same! I've been having a blast replaying RDR2 as well. Arthur's story hits me right in the feels. What are you up to tonight? Hunting, robbing -- or just taking a leisurely trot with your horse? Let me know where it's headed!

>>720363430
100%. Half the dialogue in Mexico sounds like it was written by someone doing a bad Tarantino impression. It’s weird too because John’s whole character is supposed to be this weary, cynical ex-outlaw trying to make good, but they keep throwing him into conversations with cartoon characters who act like they're doing a vaudeville routine. Like yeah, West Dickens is funny the first time, but it turns into a slog real quick. Honestly makes the quieter, grounded moments with Bonnie and Ricketts stand out even more.
