Red Dead Redemption

rockstar open world games, for when you want quantity (not quality) of life

This thread is great at reminding me a) I got hardly anywhere in this game, b) it's still sitting there beside my Xbox, and c) I really don't want to play it again

i started playing it again briefly when it got backwards-compatibility with the xbone and, while it does run definitely more smoothly on the newer hardware, i couldn't bring myself to chug through the tutorial parts all over again

Since my daughter arrived three years ago, on the few stray evenings home alone I could use playing video games I find I'm so rusty on the controls and where I was up to with the games that next thing I know I've fallen asleep on the sofa and achieved NOTHING

finally made it to mexico and I think I'm just... done. after the neverending killing bandits on a slow moving raft sequence (L2. R2. L2. R2. ad infinitum.) I might actually just hate this game

but I'm thankful I spent a noteworthy percentage of my short life watching the same animal skinning animation over and over again

i remember mexico being pretty fun! but yeah you have to kinda luuuuuv shooting galleries

every time I get to a cutscene I'm reminded that this game is intended for 14 year olds who just discovered tarantino

at least in gta you can drive cars fast fuck

This game's more fun if you turn off the auto-aim, I found

inally made it to mexico and I think I'm just... done.

That's where I quit, too, when I played it. Don't know why. It wasn't a rage quit, I just got kinda bored

Mexico was the best part! The story got darker, but it's the landscapes that I loved the most. But those are my favorite settings in North America, big rocky deserts of the southwest.

Yeah, I remember looking forward to getting there because of the landscape, I just got bored by the gameplay. It's the open world 30-35 hour wall that someone else mentioned recently on another thread

I think it was by then that my character was getting better skills---playing with my son we finished all of the skill progressions, shooting, hunting for animals and for treasure, etc. while in Mexico.

I have more of a 5 hour problem with open world games. We recently started Fallout 3 (yeah, I know we're behind) and after getting to Megaton and doing a quest or two I got exhausted, because our character still sucks, we're constantly on the verge of death, I don't know what I should do next, messing around the world isn't great because we're constantly on the verge of death, you get it. Once we're more buff then these games get fun. I like progression in gaming and the slow start in a massive world tires me out.

at least in gta you can drive cars fast fuck

this. i think the slowness of travel was what really turned me off the game.

It does look purty.

hell yeah it does

I quit after a stupid train shootout I could never win.

"Get me close, CJ! I'm about to pop these fools!"

RDR2 release scheduled for oct. 26

Should we place wagers on delays?

I say 6 months pushed back

i say it's released just in time for the holiday season

This is already a pretty big delay, original date was "Q1/Q2".

hopefully delayed until I get a job and eventually plump for a new console or new graphics card

rockstar games are always delayed tbf

i never finished this

i will never finish this

Subtweety-type content from friends of mine suggest this game isn’t close

Endless, endless capital still can’t buy you effective management planning

a few months away now and massive preorders and they still haven't shown a second of gameplay. does this game exist

hopefully delayed until I get a job and eventually plump for a new console or new graphics card

HA, I got a job and did the latter. Ready for this, if it exists.

yes it exists

yes it’s gorgeous

yes it’s not as good as you’d expect but you’ll still pump upwards of 30 hours into it

Rockstar games are never as good as you’d hope

otm
they're usually pretty good though

nothing is ever as good as you'd hope.

GTA 3 was

from lolkotaku's preview

The landscape of this version of 1899 America seems enormous and full of life. There are lumbering locomotives, squawking birds, and civilians buzzing about recent events. There’s horse poop, and there are flies. There’s a first-person mode that can be used for the entire game. There are new gameplay wrinkles, including a button dedicated to firing nonlethal warning shots. There’s a shopkeeper in the general store whose item list is a multi-page, illustrated catalogue. At a base camp, the game gave me a tip to remind me that if my character ate too much, he would get fat. Too little, and he’d get skinnier, and lose stamina.

hell yeah i'm gonna be a husky cowboy folks
