Jesus Christ, 80% of this game is basically running on an empty field with absolutely nothing to do.
Literally every rockstar game
this, and theyre all shit
that's gta too, I got excited with gtaonline and one of the new heist missions makes you drive from literally the north part to the fucking airport at the very south point, literally 7 minutes wasted
V had a bit more variety, but yeah.
>trophy/achievement for keeping your horse for the entire playthrough
>Sure why not

>Cutscene by a river plays
>See my horse walk into the river and die while John is talking
Literally every GTA game, except now its Western themed.
agree with OP, I feel the game is pretty overrated - revolver was better. Not looking forward to RDR2 at all as I suspect they'll add in sharkcards and other GTAV bullshit into that game as well.
I love this game but also this is true. I wouldn't mind these issues so much if it had a nice PC remaster so you could at least admire the nice landscapes but no it's forever doomed to be played on piece of shit decade old consoles.
this game is boring, my dude
dont believe the hype. once you get in mexico things start to get better tho
When you accompany someone in GTA games, you are driving the car, you're not accompanying them in another car while they leisurely drive to the destination
Yes because horses aren't cars.
Have you seen a horse?
At least in GTA you have streets, people, cars, you have to pay attention to not hit other cars, etc
In RDR is just a big nothing. You just keep pressing X/A while following the red line
Have you seen a car?
Bully is the only good game Rockstar ever made
The first step back after IV's physics and I don't even like IV.
>Only good
Midnight Club anyone?
>revolver was better.
lmfao you people try too hard
>step back
You'd have to be retarded to think this.
All you have to do is hold down the bottom face button and you'll follow alongside them.
Yeah this thread is just contrarian central. Most likely a mustard only just playing it now who's still salty.
Go try start a bar fight and tell me how it went.
Unless you want it to be unrealistic, thats the way it goes in the old west.
Most modern games are follow the objective marker/go to the objective, and rockstar is heavy on this concept.
>can't refute point at all
>"u-uh, just those PCfats, at it again!"
>if you don't like it you're just a contrarian/mustard/salty/etc.
everytime.
So what? Westerns are about posse hunts.
This is a really, really stupid thing to complain about.
THIS
for fucks sake this game is so overrated
And here we go with the greentexts
Red Dead Redemption is brought to you by...
>rockstar
>not having glitchy achievements
this totally turns me off of a game, especially if a really hard or time consuming achievment/trophy glitches I am DONE with that game
>look how cool I am hating and nitpicking a critically acclaimed game - haha I'm totally not tying to be different or contrarian
They probably just spammed gallop and got pissed they had to keep slowing down for npc, yet low and behold RDR solves a somehow unsolvable problem in many games.
There's also usually a good bit of dialogue going on on those rides, and the scenery and environment really play a part in what makes the game great.
>be me
>playing poker online in RDR
>have pocket kings
>one kings on table
>massively raise wager
>my friend goes all in
>I go all in
>my friend also has pocket kings
>5 kings on the table
has this happened to anyone else?
and the faggot still has no counter points
>greentext
I think u need to have the same horse for at least 20 missions, story or otherwise, not the entire game
...
Counterpoints to what? You're crying about no cars and roads in a fucking western themed game. You're a fucking moron.
Top kek
>>every mission is basically "shoot 10 or 15 guys"
Nothing wrong with that. The shooting is fun
Reminds me exactly of GTA San Andreas.
You're right, cowboys should share horses and hug each other to their destinations. That's much more intimidating.
>ragdolls physics will never be that good again
why live
Am I the only one who actually likes riding with NPCs to the mission start? I like the dialogue between the characters and it makes for a cool atmosphere and conversations. It was also neat that one time in the Mexico mission they had a bird shooting game on the ride over.
Most of the time you can skip the ride. But I never did because they were actually some of the most interesting personal/political convos in the game.
The game has easy fast travel.
The dialog rides I really enjoyed, even on replays, but I agree they should be skippable for those who don't.
Shooting is great.
The world feels lively with the wildlife and radiant quests and all. I never felt it was empty feeling.
No you're not. OP is just shitposting.
>people complain about having to drive in GTA
I'm confused....Do you not find driving fun? Then why are you even playing? I loved driving across the map because I enjoyed the driving.
>tfw finally gonna cave and buy a PS4 for RDR2
>Even though I know it's going to be absolute dogshit
A lot of them also have slightly different dialog on replays which I liked. You got to learn about characters more when you replayed the game.
Wish it had new game plus. Only thing I'd change.
dogshit? chances are it will be fucking phenomenal
Smart man.
Driving in GTA is fun, mashing X or A in RDR to ride your horse is not
Driving was more fun in IV
fight me
I had so much damn fun on this game on my new Xbox 360 one summer...it just felt like I was travelling to the old West and living out this story.
Having said that, I probably wouldn't have the patience for it today, for the reasons OP listed. I just have less time for games in general. But when I played this soon after it came out, it was a pretty special experience.
It won't be either.
RDR2 was great because of the physics which won't be in RDR2.
I bought a ps3 recently for this game and gran turismo, I played it briefly in 2011.
Graphics are really dated but this is the best rockstar game I've ever played and I played them all.
>RDR* was great because
Oops
you don't mash the button. push it once every 4 gallops and even the slowest horse in the game can sprint forever
>mashing
Confirmed for retard.
better than State of Emergency?
Don't play the game then, babby.
>tfw no game will have this atmosphere again
Can't you hold the button in order to match gallop speed?
What makes it so good?
Hard mode: list gameplay-related reasons
what is the trend with this?
Fallout 4 ditched plenty of physics, gta v butchered the physics too
why?
What do you expect? If I bought a game about motherfucking cowboys, then riding a horse and shot guys is exactly what I want to do.
>Jesus Christ, 80% of this game is basically running on an empty field with absolutely nothing to do.
Its an open world Rockstar game. What were you expecting?
>Jesus Christ, 80% of this game is basically running on an empty field with absolutely nothing to do.
You just described Boredom of the Wild
Most of the complaints about this game are really stupid shit from brainlets like OP.
Game has proper issues, but complaining a western game comes off as a western is the absolute dumbest shit.
Shit man I just realized, GTA Online didn't have the casinos because you can buy shark cards with real money, and if you could gamble your in-game money at a casino, it would count as real gambling. So will they remove the poker and other games from RDR2 as well? I just wanted to play some Liar's Dice again. Shit man
atmosphere, the shitload of random events, fun missions, almost all the activities (bounty hunting, nightwatch, duels, treasure hunting) are fun as fuck, mini games are great and a natural part of the western atmosphere (liar's dice, poker, five finger fillet), horse riding is simple but brisk and addictive, being able to buy home's everywhere, all the side missions
its pretty much the only game ive played where i enjoy absolutely everything. i haven't played another game where even the mini games were fun as fuck
RDR is one of my favorite games and I barely even notice the physics. The physics are far from what I think is good about it
no chance they remove this, even if you can't play for in game money it'll still be there
best Rockstar soundtrack, hands down
youtube.com
it amazes me how much BotW gets praised for being so different, when it actually falls victim to the "empty world" feeling moreso than any other open world i've ever played. RDR gets away with its sprawl because of the fun horse riding, tons of random events, gorgeous vistas
See, because there's no radio the soundtrack really had to be good
And they fucking nailed it
>every mission is basically "shoot 10 or 15 guys"
Well what the fuck did you expect? It's a game about the fucking old west. Unless you like doing bitch ass errand missions, you just shoot people and shut the fuck up.
Then you're retarded.
I hope so, that was some of the best stuff in the online mode, silly as it may be. It just had amazing ambiance, especially when it was dark or raining outside. Just a bunch of guys sitting in a dim room. I hope the bring back the same announcer
Really, you thought RDR's barebones and repetitive cover shooter segments are what counts as "fun" missions? The horse riding is "addictive"? Really? I'm convinced you have brain damage.
this game really got me into poker, I blew hours just running hands against people
goddamn it looks clean, I miss this
RDR just have so many little touches that I love, the game feels like a labor of love
>being able to cheat in poker was so cool
>setting up a campsite and seeing john and your horse sit by the fire in the wilderness
>riding on the roads and see other people sitting at a fire and you can sit and listen to their stories
>if you start a side mission as john and finish as jack there is sometimes unique dialogue acknowledging this
>the meat you collect is worth different prices in different areas
>in duels you can shoot the gun out of their hand and spare them for more honor
This
Good job attacking the poster with no valid argument whatsoever.
"I can't believe that this game about being a gunslinger in the Old West revolves around shooting people! What kind of idiot would think that such thing is ok?"
the simple mechanics are what make it so effective. yes, the shooting is very fun
>no argument whatsoever
>better fuel my inferiority complex grrr
I never understood how the duels work the couple times I tried them
>barebones cover shooter
"What is the dead eye system anyway?"
im starting to think that when people want "mission variety" they just want the game filled with wacky missions and ridiculous setpieces to make it "memorable". i don't really get it. personally i've always loved the grittier, more grounded missions of IV and RDR
they want rick and morty jokes like in fallout 4 with wacky robots that want to buttfuck you
Mexico segment is too long while Blackwater segment is too short. They should have balanced it out.
you're honestly not that far off, the reason why people call SA's missions memorable is mostly because of the funny memes associated with them.
A mechanic that makes a stupidly easy game even easier
You're not even trying anymore.
Yeah I agree with your criticisms, but I found the story engaging enough because I like me a good western and I found the gunplay and horse riding to be fun enough to keep me playing. Sometimes it's the little things that keep me interested in a game, even if it's not perfect.

Yes because the GTA series, and Rockstar games in general have always been really challenging.
Fucking loved five finger filet
I never got that one. I'm not really keen on getting trophies but I thought that would be a fun thing to do.
I could have just reloaded a save but I just didn't care anymore at that point. I normally don't really care that much about trophies and the likes, but I thought it would be a fun thing to do like the boss trophies in tales of vesperia. Still, must have been frustrating for a lot of people having to reload a save because there are probably a lot of opportunities for your horse to kill itself in a cutscene.
OP wasn't trying to begin with.
