I'll always rensent Anon Babble for shitting on this game and making me not play it for so long

playing this for the first time

just got legend of the east satchel

starting chapter 3 now

this game is already so fucking kino and I am barely started

I let Anon Babble tell me what I can and cannot like

Pathetic. You're not a real American.

/thread

Correct I'm a swedechad

In 2018 there was like 80% positive threads and only 20% negative though.

Anon Babble is basically this meme with RDR2

It's okay but sitting through an animation every time I want to do something gets annoying eventually

SO FUCKING KINO GUYS
IM KINOING SO HARD

Who gives a fuck about Anon Babbles opinion anymore when there are hundreds of threads unironically celebrating they were able to preorder a Switch 2. The arbiters of "good taste" on here don't exist anymore. Like whatever the fuck you want and I can promise you that RDR2 is superior to $90 childrens racing game part 10

The only fucking criticism Anon Babblefags can muster is that the main character isn't racist enough for their liking.

NOOO, YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND, EVERYONE WENT OUT OF THEIR WAY TO CALL EACHOTHER NIGGERS BACK THEN

RDR felt like a gritty western. RDR2 feels like walking through railroaded Disneyland production sets with actors saying yeeehaw every 5 seconds.

Couldn't be me

NOOO, YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND, EVERYONE WENT OUT OF THEIR WAY TO CALL EACHOTHER NIGGERS BACK THEN

We do today what makes you think they didn’t 100+ years ago?

This whole game is basically a humiliation ritual for white people.

look at me! I have shit taste and I must let you know!

Good for you little, buddy. Attaboy.

It's spring break in schools, right?

There is a noticable drop after chapter 2 which is the high point of the story. There is another chan where we talk about video games. If you're here then you're in the mix with discord troon gangs and outrage baiters.
Now leave or I will start spoiling the game. Here's a minor one:
If you insult a nigger twice in Van Horn Trading Post the entire town will very quickly start shooting at you. It can be quite kino.

RDR1 is a spaghetti western. RDR2 is en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revisionist_Western

it's the GTA4 treatment all over again

Typical Rockstar game cycle of the start felling like its highly reactive and the immersion mechanics will grow deeper. Then your 20 hours in and you realize nothing about the game has changed since the start you're just playing Barbee dream house. The last part is dragging yourself through the end game that feels wholly disconnected from how you play side content and how the protagonist is hard written to be until the only choice at the end of the game.

Game is not even woke, it just has some blacks trying not to be slaves and women trying to get the right to vote, and even then that's just 1 in every 30 missions

Sistah...we need to be better outlaws...

You know Micah…you should really stop using the N word alright partner.

*clicks cowboy boots together*

ARRRIGHT time to help these fine gal’s protest for their right to vote. GIDDYUP

COOLEST SHIT EVER!!

gets his opinions from Anon Babble

What a faggot

anyway yeah it's pretty fun although I'm getting kind of bored of Rockstar's GTA 5 style missions. Just feels samey. Still, playing through it the first time is great.

You're still a fag for getting your opinons from a website where the main pasttime is lying and shit-talking

It filtered all the kids with low attention span

nooooo why can't I kill essential NPCs and have the game automatically rewrite every single mission that comes after so that their successors take their place, thus leading to an entirely different plotline in what is already a 80 hour long game????

please tell me ONE game that does what you want and how this would even achievable without AI just winging it

this game is already so fucking kino

yupp.

The walking dead

He wants the game to have even more cutscenes and take control away from the player even more.

Rockstar's biggest mistake is trusting that the players won't do something retarded and letting them take the wheel. Then they do the most retarded shit imaginable like blowing up the camp with everyone inside and wonder "WTFFF WHY CAN'T I KEEP PLAYING WITH EVERYONE DEAD!!111 THIS GAME IS SO WOKE"

Hahaha, the fucking paragraph of cope

I played a lot of RDO with friends but never the solo
Actually bought RDR1 to play that first

It's very good for a 2010 game, the shooting is honestly better than some games that came out a lot later (including GTA V)

Game is good and the world is cool but as some anons have said, repetition fatigue sets in long before the game actually wraps up. World is cool and very well realised, but there's only so much waist high cover rooms I can walk into.

And its basically nothing but tasks w little action. I'm an old gamer & can't believe how much these games get praise. They're so fucking stupid & people actually waste their lives on this shit.

"Movie games" are a cancer.

The city is just set dressing. Nothing interesting happens here outside of a rotation of scripted events. With the amount of money rockstar rakes in we should be able to enter every building with each of them having unique npcs that follow a schedule based on their professions and lifestyles. Rockstar is good at the smaller details but once you really pay attention the illusion is broken and ruins it. They’re now taking a decade plus to make these games which makes me wonder why the fuck do they take so long when all they’re doing is giving us shinier graphics and devolved gameplay during missions where even gta 3 was superior in that aspect.

v making me not play it

you sound like a mental cuck midget

remember..

youtube.com/watch?v=Jnh-DhOQHCY

You cling to the small actions like eating from the bowl, but you ignore the complex actions like

taming any horse you find in the wild

growing its affection

riding it alongside a train and jumping into the train

having 1000 ways of making the train stop

robbing every passenger

riding away and escaping from the law

Or being able to rob any store, any wagon, multiple houses

This game has a shitton of gameplay and you retards focus on the fact that you can OPTIONALLY eat stew in the camp and the animation takes 5 seconds. Fucking mentally ill.

Nothing interesting happens here outside of a rotation of scripted events

What the fuck could possibly happen that isn't scripted?

Is the game just going to manifest interesting events without scripts/programming?

Rockstar has already implemented a dynamic scripted event system that makes them spawn in different locations so as to be unpredictable, and some of you retards complain about it

Jesus the more I read this thread the more retarded the arguments become

Im sorry OP but I dont understand how anyone likes rockstar games when they are so on rails. I tried RDR2 at my buddy's house and it was just brainlessly going through the motions. Everything would also take fucking ages to do with tons of mini 2-10 second animations for every action

But most games are on rails. The fuck is this criticism?

What do you play that isn't on rails?

What game is everyone playing that lets them kill named NPCs at the first 10 minutes, and then the game magically rewrites the entire plot to accommodate for that?

Come on motherfuckers give me the name of the games

He wants the game to have even more cutscenes and take control away from the player even more.

Like so?

I don't speak pajeet

Once you interact with a random event in any way, you'll never see it again

That’s complete bullshit.

Theres a lot of good things about it. But the missions are almost all the same and at its retarded at so many times

It's true for almost all events but some of them can repeat, iirc the prisoner event isn't one of them, the ones that repeat are those that give you free stuff at stores like the snake bite event

Game is not even woke

Kek

protagonist is a manly white man

pretty much all relevant characters are white men

gang only has one token black

really what else do you want Anon Babble?

Have fun watching your movie. Did you make popcorn too?

I literally made some popcorn for this game and then found it's 99% gameplay, kinda bummed

GTA3 is better than this garbage

B-BUH IT DOESN'T HAVE MUH HORSE BALLS AND CRINGE GAY COWBOY STORY

Good

I actually liked Charles. Who you seemed to have forgotten about. All the white men in the gang are bad. You forgot about sadie who is the biggest mary sue and extremely annoying throughout.

The non-whites need to be on their best behavior and fall in line, lest they get kicked

The white men have their status ensured and thus permission can afford to chimp out

Game is pretty realistic

With that said there's plenty of cool white people in the gang like Hosea, Sean, Bill, and arguably Dutch

I too HATE when those dirty GAMERS take the wheel in a GAME they're playing!!

>just got legend of the east satchel

Everybody should stop the MQ at the beginning of CH2 and start focusing on this, coupled with some early Challenges camp events/upgrades and Trapper clothes. And while you're still at it why don't you start filling the Compendium with entries and working on your cores too? Doing Hosea's side quest ("Exit Pursued by Bruised Ego") that unlocks multiple outdoors mechanisms ASAP is advisable but not strictly mandatory.

Everything what you need can be found between Horseshoe Overlook and West Elizabeth (region to the W). Hell, the only reason you need to go the latter is the Cougar pelt needed for the top upgrades and the closest spot is in the Black Bone Forest. (There's a one-time random event for the Panther pelt not too far from the camp - reload if you didn't get a 3* one!)

tutorial mission meant to teach you a mechanic

it's literally a "go there and press button"

not doing it means failing the mission

Shocking, right? Especially that said mechanic has practical importance as well on top of the visuals.

My only problem with hunting is that if you want to complete it by chapters 2/3 you can't know where to find each animal without a guide

It feels like they aimed for it being an epilogue satchel, when it doesn't bring much value to the table

They could have placed a NPC that gives you tips on where to find the animals for a fee

I'm glad you're enjoying it but as a huge RDR1 enjoyer I think it's total dogshit.

starting chapter 3 now

You already screwed yourself, well done. Never continue playing the game

Are you 10 hours into it with 5 hours of cut scenes and like 5 hours of 'gameplay' that is mostly just riding from one point to another to start the next cut scene?
Gets pretty old after a while desu.

The game is downhill from Chapter 2 OP and I'm not talking about just the story. It's too long for its own good and gets boring. I've played the first game twice over and I can't even finish 2. The game puts me to sleep

suck a dick, soifaggot

you can't know where to find each animal without a guide

That's a legit complaint. I had no option but to look up the spawn points of big cats during my first run. Why? Since I wanted to restrict myself from spoiling regions that'll be covered in future chapters. Ironic, isn't it?

It feels like they aimed for it being an epilogue satchel

Yeah, there's also clear pattern which areas meant to be explored in each Chapter. The camp locations of the gang serve a good reference for this. Gobbling up content ASAP is not an optimal way of playing RDR2 despite the open world.

Sadie Adler ruins the game for me, and I'm not even joking. She's such a bad, forced character that her presence from Rhodes - onwards honestly just makes every other problem in the game disappear.

She's like if some soulless T2 exec found out that all the women in the gang were either prostitutes or permanently at the camp doing chores so he forced Rockstar to hamfist a badass strong woman into the game.

It gets worse and worse. There's a part towards the end where you're helping the strong womyn break someone out of prison and the game just hits a brick wall pacing wise. That and post boat crash I was literally screaming at the screen for the game to be over

Man you said the same thing I did. You literally sensed how forced her mission was.

I reflexively uninstalled and refunded when it asks for a rockstar account.

I just got done playing that mission where Trelawny took Strauss, Arthur and Javier to a boat to scam poker off of rich guys.

And it went well until Javier randomly shot the guard and the captain. Why did he do that? They already got a bunch of money, plus a watch. Why not just leave?

Everything about her is forced. Her missions, her place in the game, even her voice. No other woman in the game has an accent that thick.

They already got a bunch of money, plus a watch. Why not just leave?

The entire game is "just one more job" trope x 5. The interpersonal dialogue and bants is good. The actual plot is infantile

it completely ruins everything that made the first game fun, sure the world looks more real but that doesn't make up for ruining the wanted system and not having proper instances

Coping is off the charts.

wanted system is easily fixed with a mod

Game is best enjoyed just fucking around after ingesting an edible. The story is an agonizing slog and you've already got out of the game everything you're going to get

Why should I care about your juvenile impressionable mind, kiddo?

game is better on weed

Thats literally every single one, I can count with 1 hand the times I played sober in the last 10 years

NTA but the hot air balloon mission is a good example. I could tolerate her occasional recklessness (see the assault of Shady Belle) or Sadie making decisions for herself (see her new clothes) but that missions is probably the most glaring example of the "just because I says so" aura that surrounds her. Some things can be chalked up as plot device (like why can't you refuse the ride) but her outright changing the topic when Arthur confronts her about the death of the balloon operator - which is 100% on her - was infuriating. The whole mission was forced with 0 input from the player.

You don't even like her accent? That's her bottom line, so to speak. Even who vehemently dislike her tend to find her accent sexy or at least fitting for the character.

FULL METAL DAEMON MURAMASA
You may kneel now

essential NPCs

Don't make essential NPCs, faggot retard nigger :)

nooo why aren't you making open world survival crafting games!!!

Is that the only thing you can think of that doesn't have essential npcs, child?

Start listing the games with zero essential NPCs that you can't kill and that still have a 80h campaign

Waiting

Look OP, I don't think anyone is/was asking Rockstar to making Cowboy Deus Ex, but RDR2 is pretty clearly more restrictive in its mission design than even previous Rockstar games, with slow and lengthy animations that are slower and longer than in previous Rockstar games.
If you can just tolerate it then fine for you but it's obviously contentious and it shouldn't be complicated to understand why.

me to Anon Babble

The criticism is not valid and I have already explained why.

There are no slow and lengthy animations for 99% of the game. People nitpick some camp animations that are all optional.

As for being restrictive... Well why? How? People only know how to give that one example of saddling the horse, and why the fuck would you want to saddle a horse outside of those given to you in the first place?

Why don't you assholes complain about how in pokemon your starter must be one of the 3 given to you, and not just any random pokemon you can find in the wild?

The hypocrisy is huge

19th century outlaw has 21st century progressive beliefs regarding race and gender

Why don't you assholes complain about how in pokemon your starter must be one of the 3 given to you, and not just any random pokemon you can find in the wild?

RDR2 is more like they tell you to pick Bulbasaur and if you pick Squirtle you get a game over.

There are no slow and lengthy animations for 99% of the game. People nitpick some camp animations that are all optional.

There are gigantic input delays in actions as simple as starting or stopping movement on foot

You haven't even finished the game one time dude. Basically everyone with these complaints has, including myself.
And no it's not just shit like eating from a bowl in the camp. You might not remember the webms posted after release showing how long it takes for Arthur to make a 180 degree turn, but it's in things like that, in how long it takes Arthur to do basically anything except aim. It takes 2 seconds to fully turn around btw. To be unnecessarily charitable yet again, I don't think anyone was asking the controls to be a snappy as Quake, but it shouldn't be even more sluggish that RDR1.

Days Gone is better

Arcanum

Wow, that was easy.

You cant kill everyone in that game

You finished the game and you don't know that you can tap the right stick to instantly do a 180?

Name all the npcs you can't kill in that game.

Go ahead, I'll wait.

It takes 2 seconds to fully turn around btw

no it doesn't who are you trying to fool? not even if you crouch and walk at the slowest pace possible does it take 2 seconds to turn around

pic related

checkmate

Have you played Baldurs Gate 3 yet? it's the same deal. a fucking amazing game

I think anon means that WHEN SPRINTING you can't instantly do a 180, sprinting operates under tank controls and you need to wait the ~2 seconds to fully change your vector. It's a stupid complaint nonetheless, there are not only realism reasons but also balancing/practical reasons why you don't want your players to freely manipulate their velocity factor while sprinting.

Are you naming them, tourist ribitor?

No because I just found from HLTB that although the game is 80 hours long, killing NPCs makes it only 30 hours long. I asked for a 80 hour campaign that remains 80 hours no matter how many people you kill.

I'm of the same opinion. Mostly because RDR2 makes a lot of the same mistakes Rockstar's been making since GTA IV, but is way more egregious with how much more time it expects you to tolerate them.

Tried that and didn't like it, that game felt exhausting to play. Micro managing every single character, reading an encyclopedia worth of text at every single interaction, trying to piece together my options, exploring every nook and cranny. I can see why some people like this but for me it was way too much

No

Aww, how sad, maybe try looking deeper through rebit :(

no response

That's what I thought bitch, now don't you ever reply to me or my thread ever again

The open world is great; pure immersive cowboy sim. It's the missions that are dogshit, and a story that's 30 hours too long.

women trying to get the right to vote

Why does there need to be an entire mission dedicated to leading a suffragette march, which does nothing to advance the plot and is quite literally just slowly walking through town and a 20 second fist fight at the end? Not a side mission but a main mission required to play the campaign.

Basically I resent all those faggots that shilled it back then. Yes, the game is beautiful and runs wonderfully but the praise ends there, gameplay and storywise its pretty mediocre.

Out of all the woke shit in this game the one that triggered me the most was them shitting on Tesla, just way too kikey for me.

storywise its pretty mediocre.

the story is actually not good at all, mediocre is praise. it's just a device to move from scenery to scenery without much logic behind it, not even in a character motivation sense. and the missions themselves arent even that fun, so there is no point in that design decision. i had the most fun with the game after i was done with that dreadful arthur part, despite him resembling what couldve been a cool character. just hanging out as john and farming is ten times more interesting than the whole game prior to that.

he's not essential, it's the finale of the substory and he just gets jailed after with nothing else happening. there is no reason for this to be a failed mission. literally none. just drags you out of immersion yet again.

Because most people would think it is fucking cool to lead a march

You only hate it because it was for women's right to vote, if it was for owning slaves you would think it's "based"

I think the game is great but it has some serious flaws. The writing is kino but some inconsistencies with Arthur's morals are indefensible, stuff like is greatly exagerated but not untrue.

Mechanically is just too slow and boring, they perfected the balance between polish and responsiveness in GTA 5 but I don't see why they made it so slow here.

why would you trust Anon Babble shitting on something? Anon Babble shits on everything and most people doing it usually haven't played said game.
Not to mention the schizos who complain about ridiculous things and try to manufacture fake consensus that everyone agrees by samefagging. I hate those faggots

I always looks for the posts of someone who is genuinely loving a game and shilling / defending it for free with lots of autistic text explaining why it's good or fun. If you like what anon is describing then it is probably worth a look

95% of complaints are just ideologs screeching about DA AGENDA instead of stuffing the cock back in their mouth and actually playing any video game.

you're a good man mr anon...

Least obvious normalfag on Anon Babble

RDR2 is shilled nonstop you retard, everyone sucks its dick and ignores its flaws to pretend its 10/10 best game evar, its all over the internet.

This is if Reddit was a videogame.
Next you will start to pretend its underrated hidden gem

RDR2 is shilled nonstop you retard, everyone sucks its dick and ignores its flaws to pretend its 10/10 best game evar, its all over the internet.

that's not how it looks if you only browse Anon Babble for your vidya info

Rockstar games never changed, they just got bigger, more restrictive and more woke, especially RDR2 and GTA 5. Ya don't need a 15 minute long youtube video to say that. It's obvious. We've all played their games and their games winning awards or selling a lot doesn't change that.

*kills kkk members*

Only based thing he did if true. Stupid prot zionist puppets.
Gay walking sim. sorry youre so nad at video games these are the only kind you can like. Then hop on LoL or whatever overwatch clone is popular at the time and "grind elo" to pretend youre good at them. Lol.

The only good walking simulator was death stranding.

I think there's a line where even POC thought this shit was just cringe.

Only blue are self aware.

Holding the x button for 5 minutes straight is not cool.

Videogames become good when you interact with them. RDR2 takes that away.
I dont want to watch a movie or play ride a red line from A to B every single mission to shoot the same bad guys and then watch another cutscene, to me thats not good gaming.

RDR2 spoonfeeds you everything, during combat you can take cover and press L1 or R1 to aim (forgot which it was) and then Arthur automatically targets the npc head for a clear and easy headshot, you can do this over and over and all the time you are immortal behind a wall. Even if its just Arthur + Lenny for example.

Games should challenge the player, they should present puzzles, combat encounters and let you experiment with their mechanics, this shit was way too easy, all you do is move the dot into the enemy head and you win the game.

Outside of the combat you can do a bunch of simulation acitivies which are all chores and offer no rewarding gameplay whatsoever, you can fish or skin animals you can clear the stable of horeshit or milk a cow! what the fuck is that for? at best add 2 points for realism and immersion but thats not what a masterpiece game should strive for.

Mission design is a joke, you have this huge world full of possibilities, but the devs dont trust players to do it right, obviously because its extremely casual game. Every mission plays out the same way, and their stories are not as good as something like Witcher or KCD.
Controls are overly animated to waste more of your time, but again its for realism sake, despite that this is not what makes a videogame good.

RDR2 is pretty much a movie game set in open world sandbox that is restrictive in retarded ways, which is dumb, its not a shit game but its nowhere near the praise it receives, RDR2 is basically for casuals into gaming, its a great game but only if you played a total of 10-20 games in your whole life, if you seriously played over 100 varied games and still consider this game anything above 7/10 you are a braindead moron

w

Death Stranding is even worse than RDR2, its the same shallow gameplay but with worse story and worse open world and even worse mission design.

I love RDR2's story but I totally get this complaint, but to be fair it does lead to some cool setpieces. At least the "one more job" thing is sort of explained by the implication that Dutch is going mad as the game goes on, especially after he hits his head.

Auto aim is optional

Chapter 5 ruins the pacing of the whole story, everything happens too fast during that chapter, characters change suddenly there by witnessing forced behavior out of nowhere, its basically a chapter that exists only to push the story towards its ending chapter.
Chapter 5 is too rushed and then chapter 6 is too slow.
For the first 4 chapters RDR2 story was genuinely great, after than it takes a nosedive, then the epilogue which is total slog and drags too much.

Marriage? A sacred institution? Heh, it's anything but in my experience, brother, I can tell you that. If two fellers wanna tie the knot, who am I ta say no? If the Lord ain't judged our gang, I'd say he's been takin' some time off the job, yer probably safe. Heh heh. Have at it, I say.

Abortion? Well, that's a rough one. Bit of a tough pill to swaller. At first, I didn't rightly take kindly to the idea of killin' babies, but Dutch gave me this ole thick science book and I pretty much surmised that well, that thing is about as human as Micah here, which is lackin' to say the least, heh. Hell, I'd say a gal has the right to choose.

A gal? As president? Well, what I can tell ya is its been nothin' but fellers since this whole thing here started up and what have we got? A bunch of other dead fellers. What have we got ta lose? I reckon' tryin' a gal's touch wouldn't do anyone no harm. If weakness is a concern of yours, I promise you some of the ladies runnin' in my gang would probably make Old Hickory look like a nancy in comparison. Hell, I'd reckon its her turn.

Lettin' a black feller do yer wife? Well, if the old lady's havin' fun, who am I to deny her that? I reckon that feller's got a bigger one than me anyway. Besides, we gotta pay some back for that whole slavery bid'ness we did to them. Dutch raised me and I ain't his real son, so I'll raise my wife's son, whether he's black or white.

Cuttin off yer willie sure sound silly but I reckon a feller might as well chop it off he ain't goin use it. And i suppose a wig can't do harm neither, heck men use to wear em all the time back in them oldin' days.
