Finished Red Dead 2 a while back.

It was not that good.
I hate games that hold your hand the entire time, it's not any different from tracing some gameplay you saw on YouTube.
All you need is to be told to rob a train and then you should figure out the rest for yourself.
With RDR2 it's;
Explicit instructions on how to get to the train.
Go up to the metal door.
Press L1 to equip dynamite.
Press R2 to place dynamite.
Walk a few steps back.
Press L1 to equip rifle.
Press R2 to fire at the dynamite.
Enter the room.
Press triangle to loot.
Press triangle to loot.
Press triangle to loot.

What's the point of even playing.

Because people today are fragile and everything - not just games - has to be on easy mode.

I played this game for a couple hours. The LENNNNAAAAAAAY sequence was fantastic.

Then I found out I would have to invest over 60 more hours just to finish it if I stayed mostly on the main storyline and didn’t even side quest, and I immediately quit.

There was some interview with a developer who talked about how test audiences really dumbed down their game. They had to play through some cave and at one point the path split in two. If you took the left road, it would lead you on some goose chase and then you'd just end up where you started: the point where you had to choose between right and left. Test audiences for some reasons couldn't understand this so they just kept picking left and did the exact same thing like five times in a row. So they had to add in a bunch of hints that you were supposed to choose right.

A game like RDR2 is really only selling you a story. I wanted to see how it ended so I stuck it out. (Kind of silly since it’s a prequel and I know how things turn out going in).

I guess some of the hunting was challenging. At least trying to get undamaged pelts of some of the smaller animals. But that also became tedious.

I guess what I’m saying is you get out of the game what you want and none of these should ever be purchased at full price.

RDR2 is one of those games I've tried to get into about 3 times and I always just stop playing when you get to that first town - Valentine I think it's called. It just takes so fucking long to even get to that point and that only feels like the very beginning of the game starting properly. I get that it's going for a more realistic tone but the arcadey feel of the first game felt way more fun.

I'll probably go back to it at some point though.

I only play open world games to explore, personally

 

[Meownaw]

You don't like spending 15 minutes to skin a rabbit for 1 pelt that you need 20 of to use? Nyehehehehe

 

[Pat the Simp]

I bought it on Steam a few months ago when it was on sale. I would never pay full price for these games. I played RDR1 on Xbox and it was good. RDR2 isn't bad, some annoying aspects but overall it plays pretty good.

 

[Imager]

I liked the ring dang doo song. It sing pretty good.



But everything about RDR2's game play was just so slow (skinning animals seems to be done in real time). I tapped out a few hours in.

 

[Antwan Kumiya]

I thought RDR2 was fantastic and is probably in my goat tier of my favorite games ever. Does that make me a faggot? I played it on my steam deck at work with no issues. It ruled

 

[guest]

Storyline wise it was pretty good, the characters are OK. I have been wondering how the modding scene on pc is with it

 

[Harry Powell]

I can’t stand the tedious shit in games like this.

I like ultra-linear story-heavy games. I think Dead Space 1/2 and God Of War (not really open world) are GOAT-tier

God of Bore blows. Nice forced walk and chats that you can't skip because they are just long load screens, stupid. Nice characters that won't shut the fuck up and constantly have Marvel tier dialogue, stupid. Nice annoying faggot kid who won't shut up, stupid. Nice main character who grunts after every swing loudly, stupid. The only game more overrated is The Last of Us.

I loved TLOU… 1 AND 2

 

[JoeCumiawearsDIAPERS]

I’ve been looking for a game similar to the first Max Payne. I don’t need open world, mini quests, or a virtual scavenger hunt. I just want a nice story that moves along.

 

[Maybe even kiss you]

It's ironic that, in a game that sells itself on 'realism', you can't solve problems like you would do in reality unless the designers want you to. Every mission consists of you riding somewhere, having something go wrong, and shooting your way out in a panicked escape. Wouldn't it be more fun to be able to affect whether or not stuff goes wrong in the first place? It's like the polar opposite of Deus Ex.

This guy gets it. I've put thousands of hours into Fallout New Vegas, and I think I've finished the story maybe three times. I got it absolutely stuffed with mods so I can just fool around in the wasteland doing extracurriculars forever. Ditto GTA online, I like to just drive around listening to podcasts or ona clips, watching the hackers cause chaos or just enjoying the driving physics out on some empty back road.

I beat the GTA 5 storyline on PS3 in the few weeks before they launched online. I've had the same character online for PS3 PS4 and PS5 and didn't touch the storyline since I beat it on PS3. Few thousand hours of playtime for me between all the platforms. I can play that game and enjoy myself just about everytime. I've never played on PC so never dealt with major hackers fucking around.

I'm solely looking forward to GTA 6 strictly for it's newest version of GTA Online. I'll beat the shitty mostly likely woke storyline just because it's tradition for me. I've beaten even GTA except GTA London 1961 because I didn't have a PC. I did beat 1969 on PS1 though.

I can't even feel like I can call myself a gamer since I'm just a GTA fan. I only played sports games and crash bandicoot until I first played GTA 1 and ever since then I knew it was the only game I would ever need. I always imaged the online aspect even back before it existed. I would call my friend who was also hooked to GTA 1 and we would talk about how cool it would be to play the game together and complete missions and mess around.

Now I do the same fucking thing on GTA online with the same exact person almost 26 years later. It's unreal how much that series has been a part of my life.

 

[Stent]

I liked it for just fucking around in the world. Cut-scenes, shitty dialog, and hand-holding missions are everywhere these days.
