Man, the fact that this game even exist is mind boggling., This is the best open world ever made, and might just be the best written game ever.
I'm not even past chapter 2 btw, but the characters feel so fucking real, it's like they're really real. Arthur is such an amazing protagonist so far
One thing I'm wondering is how the hell did rockstar not make an 60fps patch for the current gen consoles? The game looks downright incredible but the 30fps cap is definitely an issue
It's a creative choice.
I mean if you couldn't tell Dutch was going to betray you then I don't know what to tell you lol.Its the most predictable story ever made. Doubly so with rdr1 starting where it left. Open world is great but not the best. Play some good games guy.
Mama Mia this is a spicy take.
Sorta feeling the same. It's incredible, but there's nothing like playing it again for the first time. Emotionally draining as well.It's the most incredible game I will never replay.
Every Rockstar game I play I eventually think of all the human suffering involvedRockstar employees really aren't worked hard enough.
They are missing mice balls physics for our fellow kanjobazooie ... how dare they? Someone file a complaint or do a petition.
Its not simply about slow pace. Shooting is terrible without auto-aim (and boring with it), extremely railroaded mission design that completely clashes with your open world activities, tons of inconsistent mechanics, bad control scheme, tons of bloat activities that often aren't fun and don't really add anyhting to the game, nonsensical systems... its just a poorly designed game.The fuck you guys complaining about gameplay? Its slow pace completely suits story, it's great game. It was great choice from Rockstar to made it like that, thanks to this we could immerse even more deeply into the game world.
OP in a nutshell.
None of that matters when you have GRAPHICS!Its not simply about slow pace.

When GTA3 took over the world, my friend had to drag me kicking and screaming to get me to play it. It just didn't sound at all appealing to me, despite the revolutionary 3D open world hook. I played it for a few hours, it bored me to death. I ignored GTA and all similar games from then on. I remember when GTA4 released, co-workers would come up to me and say stuff like, "Heh, I know what you're doing tonight! GTA4 IS FINALLY OUT BABY!" Oh, I won't be playing it. "What?! I thought you were into video games?" Oh totally. But not GTA.
Then a few years later it was right here on gaf when I noticed people saying, "PSA: Even if you hate GTA, you should play Red Dead Redemption. It's SOOOO good. And it's not GTA set in the old west, it's totally its own thing, it's completely different. It's the best game in like 10 years." So after it had been out for about a month, I decided to try RDR. And I loved it. It ended up being my gateway drug, it led me to give GTA3 another chance, and with my new mindset that finally clicked for me and I loved it. Then I played Vice City, and San Andreas, and GTA4. I gotta say, those people who claimed "RDR is not just GTA set in the old west" were completely full of shit. THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT RDR IS.
Anyway, here's the thing- RDR literally changed my life and opened the door for me to enjoy a whole ton of open world games I'd never given a chance to before. Yet... when RDR2 was unveiled, somehow I didn't give a shit. I felt zero hype. I knew I'd play it on day 1, and I assumed I'd fall in love with it once I started playing... but somehow that's not what happened. I bought it on day one, but I don't think I even cracked the cellophane on the case until a couple months later. I started playing, and I thought it was OK. I played for a few hours. The last thing I remember is one of the NPCs in my camp accompanying me on a very long hunting trip to bag a grizzly bear. And I just stopped there. I wasn't thinking, "THIS GAME SUCKS, I'LL NEVER PLAY IT AGAIN!" But I didn't go back to it. I told myself I'd play it later, when I was in the right mood. Here I am almost five years later, still waiting for that mood to hit.
On PC max settings with RT on at 4K you would cream your jeans OP. Console version is significantly uglier in comparison.Man, the fact that this game even exist is mind boggling., This is the best open world ever made, and might just be the best written game ever.

RT? Where?On PC max settings with RT on at 4K you would cream your jeans OP. Console version is significantly uglier in comparison.
I quit there too. Drove to bestbuy to trade it in. Sat in my car for a few minutes and decided against it because the writing and atmosphere convinced me to give it another shot.The last thing I remember is one of the NPCs in my camp accompanying me on a very long hunting trip to bag a grizzly bear.

# 1 - You need to look up the definition of "shill" as you quite clearly don't know what it meansThis is basically every single person who has ever shilled for this game.
I don’t think there’s any debate here at all, the gameplay complaints are way overblown imo, the mission structure and lack of freedom is what’s actually ass.I think that mission design might even be a worse offender than the gameplay even.
This game proves that people care about production values more than anything else
RDR 1 is better in pretty much every regard but graphics. It's even more satisfying in terms of gameplay, despite being from 2010.
I adored RDR2, and honestly after RDR1 I didn't know how it would stack up. Still had some outstanding moments, great writing, music, and characters. It was a great package for sure. My only issue was that there was one part of the campaign that kind of slowed down big time for me, so it felt kind of like a slog to get through. Fortunately right after getting through that it picked back up and didn't stop. Didn't change how I felt about it in the end though, one of the all times IMO, just like RDR1.
It's been a long while, but I believe so, yeah. The pacing around that section was so noticeable IMO that it was distracting, lol. Thankfully it was short lived. Everything else was amazing IMO, and in the long run that was forgettable and was outshined by all the great in it.You're probably talking about that detour, right? If so, I agree.
Being impredictable is good for mediocre tv shows. It's not really important in itself, it's pretty obvious the game wasn't trying to be.Its the most predictable story ever made. Doubly so with rdr1 starting where it left. Open world is great but not the best. Play some good games guy.

Yeah, it peaked before and after, but that valley was deeeeeep, haha.I think we all know what your are talking about, but the mission right before it all went down was top notch. Hitting that bank was a crazy action sequence.
That's why the best part of the game is simply going hunting, fishing, camping and just watching the clouds with the sunrise and sunset. It pretty much beats every other game in this regard. It's like Hunter Call of the Wild with an expanded camping system. I'd say hands down these are the features that trump every other game ever made. Certainly not the gameplay or mission design. It's the most realistic nature/camping simulator out there at the moment.This game is great for people who only care about visuals and nothing else. Fuck actual gameplay, mission design and controls…..graphics is the only thing that matters……basically this is graphic whores wet dream.
They made the HDR better rom what it was buy unfortunately it's still shit. The SDR has color and lighting that actually pops.Unless they fixed it from first release, this game had one of the worst HDR implementations i ever dealt with. No matter what i did it was always bright and super washed out, and it was the only game on my tv (at the time ) that had this issue.
The horseback riding feels more "realistic" as well compared to most other games. As good as Ghost of Tsushima was, I very rarely if ever used the horse in the game since I was so used to the way it was in RDR2.That's why the best part of the game is simply going hunting, fishing, camping and just watching the clouds with the sunrise and sunset.

Agreed. The HDR has a slight yellowish sepia film to it and seems more washed out. The SDR looks more like HDR in contrast.They made the HDR better rom what it was buy unfortunately it's still shit. The SDR has color and lighting that actually pops.
