Is there actually a better cowboy RPG than this?

Putting on a hat and using a revolver doesn't make you a cowboy, anon. It's a profession, you have to ride a horse and drive cattle. There are no cowboy RPGs.

>>3809364
Nah. Roaming the desert killing guys with a six shooter is real cowboyin'.

>>3809364
>cowboy RPG
>you play as a cowboy, obviously
>sandbox open world, but fuck huge and absolutely massive
>missions involve driving cattle and hunting wolves and foxes to protect chickens
>driving cattle along long distances is realistically done, multiple cowboys have to work together in order to accomplish it
>stats and skills benefit different roles
>at the start you'd either be on the rear of the drive or work as a wrangler in the cart
>as you progress, become a better rider and maybe get your own horse you get to better positions in the drive, eventually you're gonna lead in the front
>as the pointer you get to decide the path
>semi realistic map mechanics like those on the Caravaneer games, no markers on your position, must know the terrain and how to navigate it (you're supposed to learn it while working the other roles)
>shootouts can happen if/when the drive gets ambushed by hustler, not the focus of the game
Sounds better than new vegas.

RDR2 is not an RPG

>>3809417
Movies aren't games, yes.

>>3809353 (OP)
Red Dead Redemption is fucking amazing

west of loathing

>>3809396
I'd play it. Just be sure to have can-can dancers for town stopovers after getting paid for a long drive.

>>3809512
There shouldn't be that much going on in town in between jobs so unless you wanna ride to the next town on your own you're gonna wait for the next drive. In the meanwhile you can do random odd jobs and of course spend your time at local saloom, drinking your wages, playing dice and watching some legs.

>>3809520
Barfights can be a thing and maybe you formed a grudge with some cagey rustlers out on the trail and get into a scuffle, which later turns into a shootout or ambush if you see them in town.

>>3809364
There's a Western mod for Mount and Blade, I can't remember if there are cattle driving quests but it's a mechanic in the base game.

>>3809689
Not an RPG.

>>3809422
Yesya. The first quarter of RDR is the only game that ever came close.

>>3809364
That's pretty much Oregon Trail.

>>3810271
>Oregon Trail is an RPG.
No.

>>3810274
More of an RPG than nu-fallout

>>3810274
You build a party out of various roles, manage shared resources, make various choices over the course of your journey to determine your success or failure, and decide outcomes with dice rolls. It's more of an RPG than half of the games on this board, and has more essence in common with classic fantasy literature at that.

>>3810275
I'd phrase it "just as not an RPG".
>>3810285
Combat is action based.

west of loathing?

>>3810286
I guess typing BLAM is technically an action. But then so would be pressing ATTACK in a menu.

>>3810322
Talking about hunting, bro. Try actually playing the game.

>>3810325
I know. Did you know there are multiple versions of the game with different mechanics?

>>3810326
Link the one you are talking about, I certainly haven't played them all. From the several I've played, the hunting minigame is always action based.

>>3810328
That's from the first version of the game.

>>3810333
Virtually nobody played that. 1984 and up are going to be what people are talking about when you say Oregon Trail. Besides, in that version it's still action based, you have to type BANG when prompted and you have to do it fast and spell it correctly to hit.

>>3810338
>doesn't count
Of course lol, and for the exact retarded rationale I expected

>>3810340
???
It's still action based and no one played it or talks about that one when talking about the Oregon Trail. Are you okay? This isn't an important debate, man.

>>3810342
>This isn't an important debate, man.
Yes, that's why I'm not bothering to take you seriously

>>3809353 (OP)

>>3810345
You seem to be taking it seriously, because you can't admit you're wrong. You thought it was a text adventure because of the screenshot, right? It's more Typing of the Dead style combat. No big deal getting that wrong, man, nobody played that version anyway, just like you.

>>3810348
What an awful ENB setup. I hope you didn't configure that yourself.

>>3810351
Even worse. Ugh.

>>3810349
If you weren't taking it seriously, you wouldn't feel the need to insist on your own rightness.

>>3810358
Ah, the good old Kafkatrap. Nostalgic...

anon your game literally looks worse than vanilla, just stick to DNW + NVR if you want AO and shadows

What the fuck is wrong with your filenames, asshole?

>>3810399
He seems to be a borderlands faggot based on the gaudy colors

>>3809417
Game I like = RPG
>>3810399
>>3810400
It's a retard called Blackoutfag from /fog/, he's also low test so he'll just spam threads with his shitty ENB screenshots and never address your replies

>>3809364
People got the idea of the term Cowboy from the Clanton Gang of Tombstone Arizona, who were also known as the Cowboys.
Not the literal profession of a ranch handler.

>>3810489
No.

>>3809364
>Putting on a hat and using a revolver doesn't make you a cowboy, anon
In the context of the old West, cowboy actually had a negative connotation and didn't really have the meaning it has today. Normal cattlemen found it offensive to be called a cowboy, which usually referred to bandits, rustlers, and other unsavory characters who would commit crimes under the guise of being transient agricultural laborers.

>>3810349
>>3810342
U mad bro?

>>3810612
Nope.

>thread started with NV pic gets spammed and ruined by /fog/ schizo and autistic NVfags
Posting NV should be a bannable offence on this board.

Revisionism like this, based on regional documentation, is so funny, it's literally one small area in one small period of time where cowboy was negative. Cowboys, teens and young men driving cattle for hundreds of miles, only existed for a small window but cowpokes and cowpunchers and buckaroos and cowboys were all the same thing. Wikipedia warriors are hilarious when dealing with colloquial history.

>>3811037
>the small period of time when these people actually existed doesn't matter compared to the much larger volume of romanticized fiction that applied the term to a whole swathe of different people after the fact
Cool.

>>3809353 (OP)
Wild Arms 3.
>>3810274
The Oregon Trail is quintessentially an rpg.
>>3810399
just report him for spam, easy as

>>3811037
>it's literally one small area in one small period of time where cowboy was negative
You talk about historicity but as >>3811389 points out, you seem completely oblivious to the fact that the historical basis of the "wild west" cowboy trope comes pretty much entirely from those small regional stories.
>wikipedia warrior
projection, especially considering that you have provided zero sources on the use of cowboy historically. As a matter of fact, my quick research using the most basic of tools (Google Ngram) seems to indicate that before the news started picking up on stories about cowboy gangs in Tombstone around 1880, English language sources preferred cowherd, stockman, and even a vaquero over cowboy to refer to cattle handlers.

Tldr you're an obstinate contrarian faggot.
