Red Dead Redemption

Awesome
That’s some gta 5 level NPC stupidity there
Oh wait

Very tempted to buy this... how close is it really to the original in terms of gameplay (as noted above, RDR1 and I did not get on)?

What the hell is going on in that horrific clip!?

some impressive stoicism for sure

They shoot horses, don’t they?

thomas i haven't played the original rdr in many years but from my memory it's similar but not a carbon copy

Went on a virtual date last night jfc

them o'driscoll boys can git, tbqh

my download finally finished at 9pm last night, and I managed to make it to chapter II before heading to bed. seems like i'm past the tutorial area now, so i'm pretty pumped to explore and rename my horse.

What will you name its nuts?

Privately, I will name them.

The rest of the horse shall be named bird dog

What will you name its nuts?

for a moment i wanted to seriously start a thread about names for horses

i'm on chapter 5 i believe -- 6 in total and 2 epilogues

about 50% done

there are some really cool plot twists

My horses are Nagging Doubt and Pony Up.

Gary (after my cat), Reggie, and Felix so far

black stallion
iron cock
caesar

Spoilers

How many could there be

I’m on epilogue 1

oh, it said spoilers re chapter 5 or something?

once i got out of the prelude and opened up horseshoe overlook, i stopped talking to dutch completely. i've been having a great time just wandering around and getting into situations. i wish i could find the trapper guy, though, because i've had a legendary bear pelt stowed on my horse for a looong time now.

half of the dust-ups i get into are caused by me pressing the wrong button. two randos in Valentine were talking shit on me because of a previous incident where i pressed the wrong button and had to murder a few people. so i went over there with the intention to Antagonize him a little. but then i accidentally punched him and all hell broke loose, again. i'm starting to get a reputation in Valentine, even though when i ride through i say hello to everyone.

As with Mafia 2 it appears most of being an outlaw is running errands.

isnt that a common theme with all crime games

Yes - but when the balance is too much "find x and take it to y" and too little "rob a bank" it's all work and no fun. Mafia 2 was the worst I played for that.

RDR2 is better balanced but running love letters across country doesn't seem very Billy the Kid.

just finished the game

fuck

almost had me crying towards the end

also the music in this game is probably the best game music i've ever heard tbh

i can totally see myself actually listening to the tracks outside the game

yeah, the music is consistently excellent. there's a new d'angelo song in there, too! (i listened to it online, haven't heard it in the game yet because i haven't advanced the story very far)

looking at the music credits, some not so obvious names that jump out at me:

nas
colin stetson
vincent gallo

I'm gonna say that i am not enjoying this game

it seems very deliberately designed to be... not fun? thx rockstar, hate to enjoy my time playing video games

i found the original boring after a while and never completed, though it looked gorgeous etc. what I've read about this makes it sound like more boring (and more gorgeous)

i get ppl not liking this, but i'm finding the deliberately slow pace enjoyable

My game has been extremely buggy so far, sometimes in a mission-breaking way. I think I'm going to wait for Online to dig back into it.

Yeah it’s not for everyone

I'm mostly enjoying it. I'm old and in no hurry.

My latest favourite bug is that my spare horse appeared out of nowhere halfway through a mission and now won't stop following me.

He used to be my main horse. I think he's jealous and lonely :(
