Thanks for making me need to eat and drink and make my horse eat and drink.
Thanks for making me change my clothes because of the virtual weather.
And a genuine thanks for presumably cutting the content you had where we had to shit and wipe our arses with leaves in the wild to avoid infections.
Aiming for too much realism kills the fun in games. Who'd have thought that gamers were trying to avoid reality?
William Sullivan
GTA V was released in 2013, that was 6 years ago. They're taking their sweet ass time with GTA 6.
Bentley Torres
if you like movie games play this shit
Asher Wright
You think that's bad, take it online and enjoy the perfect storm of obnoxious bugs and shit-tier game design that consistently gets you killed regularly at the most critical times in a showdown series.
Red Dead Redemption 2 aka "Total Fuckery: The Game"
I really enjoyed rdr2 but rdr2 isnt meant for everyone, I really never noticed the CRAZY realism like others bitch about ( wow I eat some beans every 15 minutes) but it's fair if you find it boring. It can be slow at times and not suitable for the average ADD ridden gamer.
Landon Taylor
>Thanks for firing a developer for trying to fix the broken shooting. source nintenigger
your definition of ''crazy realism'' is waiting for long animations to stop
you have incredible shit taste
Ayden Cruz
>Thank you for running like garbage on every console t. xbone boy
Elijah Howard
You ok dude
Liam Price
Thanks for being the best game of the generation.
Thanks for making Yea Forums still butthurt.
Austin Mitchell
Never played RDR2 but it sounds like the classic argument the majority of vee uses to defend their shitty eurojank rpgs
Jayden Brooks
lol cry harder
Bentley Sullivan
>Never played RDR2 oh
Brody Anderson
>using "generic" and "boring" like they are arguments sorry sir your iq is too low for you to give your opinion
Landon Sanchez
Tuberculosis was a horrible plot point, and holy fuck did they do a bad job of introducing it in the arc.
Thomas Wilson
>Thank you for all the nonsensical dead end plotlines like Arthur getting kidnapped, the two families and Bronte the whole lemoyne section is so fucking unnecessary. and it ends with a kid getting kidnapped.
Justin Bennett
lol wrong
Justin Nguyen
Stop trying to convince RDR fanboys that their game is not good. No matter how many facts you present to their faces they still will deny it. Even if you point out the good stuff in the game as well, they will still say things like “cope harder, look at the 97 score,” in an attempt to keep themselves locked in their delusion that their game is GOAT tier. Trying to have a rational debate with Rockstar shills is useless.
it's slower and filled with unnecessary rpg elements. the setting, albeit beautiful doesn't have a Western atmosphere.
Oliver Scott
Has anyone even bothered with collecting all the shit the game throws at you? Cards, fossiles, weird stones, that fag that asks you for feathers... Rockstar tried to make a "realistic" western and then tries to keep you running around in a retarded collectathon out of the N64 days
Robert Sanders
It was RDR 1 and 2 are the equivalent of MGS1 and 2 Devs shouldnt take their own games too seriously or they'll end exposing their carences
Dylan Cox
It's all required for 100% it takes a long time even with a guide
William Turner
Except RDR2 is also one of the best open worlds you can lose yourself in in vidya. Shit like skyrim doesn't come close.
Bentley Hughes
RDR2 is a zoomer filter and if you don't like it you are a faggot and chug onions
No, sorry but no. I tried that when I started to hate the main quest but it was all so fucking dull. RDR2 its all style no substance
Nolan Richardson
huh I guess you just have bad taste
Hunter Young
You cannot lose yourself in RDR2 due to how scripted everything is.
Easton Edwards
in your opinion
Julian Gray
No. You can't. You get no input into anything.
Julian Reyes
lol cope
Nathan Sanders
I haven’t played it since it came out, What was mission 5? I don’t remember having that much money early on but maybe they patched it
Ayden Allen
Disagree.
Camden Williams
the first game is a lot better
Cooper Reyes
I think it's the bank robbery in Valentine.
Joshua Morales
thanks for making me tap A so fucking much just to use the horse at a somewhat tolerable speed. its the worst way to control a horse ever. the horse slows down if you dont tap like at least twice a second, its bullshit. in the first game you only had to tap once like every 4 gallops, it was a way better rhythm. the horses in 2 are also slow as fuck too, even the arabian.
Isaac Turner
What was wrong with the shooting that needed to be fixed?
Thomas Clark
thank you for shoving your autism down everybody's throat
Daniel Fisher
thanks for buying! :)
Lucas Reyes
Emu?
Brody Johnson
you forgot:
Thanks for not letting me open my inventory in certain areas and in certain walking dialogue sections so i can't check what weapons i might have on me
Thanks for creating a vast open world then limiting the playable area to small invisible corridors during missions
Thanks for making a game where you play as an outlaw but then punish me for doing outlaw things
Thanks for making lawmen have radios and be able to find me in the wilderness 10 seconds after shooting someone when i'm miles away from another person
Thanks for actively taking controls away from me during missions at seemingly random points so that the story continues on its linear path
Thanks for introducing so much realism to the game that it becomes a slog
Thanks for not giving enough or totally wrong instructions on the game mechanics so i have to look up a guide as to how it actually works
Even with its flaws it's one of the best games that I've ever played. I didn't think that any game could match the satisfaction of shooting people like MP3 did until this came out.
Jeremiah Johnson
a-user?
Lincoln Cox
the only part of this i enjoyed was the simulation aspects and even then they weren't implemented too well. fuck i hate this game
Jack Torres
it runs well on my xbox one x maybe youre just some poorfag with an original ps4
Andrew Carter
its always redditors user. redditors who dont like being btfo on their website so they come to Yea Forums to shipost to get their blood pressure down
RDR2 is Yea Forums's wet dream. ever since the first came out this board dreamed about a game as deliberately uncompromising as this to reject normies.
its the biggest normie filter we have right now
Henry Ramirez
Why the obsession with reddit? Its pathetic
Nathaniel Bennett
Some people simply aren't made for this game and that's ok
Elijah Taylor
Most people I dont even know who rockstar was targeting with this game. 90 year olds or something
Jaxson Wood
My biggest problem is they carried almost all of that boring simulation shit into online, where it should be faster and more of an arcade shooter experience. All those needless and time-wasting animations. Having to feed yourself and your horse. Useless camp system that offers no real benefits. Having to buy ammunition. They're slowly adding things to it and tweaking it, so it's getting somewhat better, but the grind to get anywhere remains.
Nathan Butler
Why has Rockstar been doing this in their games recently, nobody bothers and those that do just look up the locations online. Complete waste of resources
John Williams
The game pushs the consoles to their limits, gimping the horses was probably a technical limitation to stream the game world easier. Same thing with GTA5, there's a hard-limit to how fast cars can go.
Hudson Lewis
The same people who liked KCD as evidenced by me
Asher Taylor
You just revealed your own ignorance
Zachary Lewis
The animations are too long? Who are you, Egoraptor? >WHY CAN'T IT JUST MAKE POOF AND THE STUFF APPEARS LIKE IN MY BING BING WAHOOS RREEEEEEE
Nathaniel Allen
Jim Sterling's video on the horror stories at Rockstar has the deets. The place is an insane cult.
Chase Butler
Unless you're a documentary-level autistic, no one can believably state that they enjoy watching those tedious skinning animations dozens of times.
Joshua Jenkins
you're cringe as fuck OP
Mason Price
The fucking awful controls. The FEEL of everything. Every Rockstar game since GTA3 but exclusing MP3 has had dogshit controls on gamepads. M+KB is night and day in their games. Everyone at Rockstar knows their games are clunky and awful but nobosy is allowed to do anything. There are Glass Door reviews from a year before RDR2's release specifically complaining about how awful and jank the core gameplay is, but they're not allowed to fix it.
Jace Russell
They're fine? pretty sure the skinning animations in Red Dead 1 take just as long
Zachary Edwards
Hey guys it seems i located your camp and could simply wipe you guys right now....but that would end the game to soon so nooooooo gotta talk.
I like them for the small animals, big ones not so much
Ethan Jenkins
what on gods green earth are you talking about. it's GTA where everything takes longer. it isn't some highly advanced uncompromising genius masterpiece
Isaiah Reed
Yeah, and no one likes sitting through those over and over again, either. People would park their horses over animal bodies so they could glitch through and skip it.
Dylan Thomas
Never played this but the combat looks boring. You can just enter deadeye or whatever it's called and click on everyone's heads and end the fight instantly.
Joshua Cruz
Cars would fix this shit game immediately
Robert Gray
That's your opinion, but just because you didn't like it doesn't mean it needs to be fixed
Jace Barnes
And? Maybe you should go back to Fortnite if that looks boring to you. Personally I find DeadEye incredibly fun, challenging, and intellectually stimulating.
Gabriel Roberts
>grrrrrrr FurtNurt!! Zoomie zoom zoom!!!
Every fucking time RockStards
GTA San Andreas was better Bully was better RDR1 was better
RDR2 is 7-8/10 and issues that seriously hinder it in comparison
Pretty sure input delay and awful controls are objective flaws
Zachary Price
Again, that's subjective. The input delay makes movement feel weightier and more realistic and the "awful" controls simulate the pressure one would feel in a real gunfight.
RDR should be a sim type game focused on realism and be a slow burn. Prove me wrong.
Wyatt Robinson
give it to me straight bros. is this game worth it?
Christian Cook
you're right. this just makes manchildren seethe who only want GTA in the west.
Nathaniel Evans
Highly agree, everyone I know who liked rdr2 has either shit taste, or questionable taste.
Connor Murphy
If you want to be a cowboy.
Daniel Ortiz
>Thanks for unequipping my guns.
This is such a bizarre game design choice. It's so incredibly obnoxious and it happens constantly.
Benjamin Robinson
This is an objectively false statement that falls apart after playing each game for more than 20 minutes
Jaxson Lee
First off, make your own opinions sheep, second off if you like it you have bad taste, so take the test or don’t waste your time. Either way bahh in another thread.
Luis Sullivan
>ambushed >SORRY LOL NO GUNS
Thanks rockstar. Guess I better buy more armadillo cards
Henry Turner
>letting john have a beard that far along
what are you some goat fucker taliban mudslime. i bet you dont even take baths and let him flirt with the massage ladies because its haram or some shit while you jack off to all those shit missions you spend with the boy trying to get him to like you.
Jack King
wow almost like it's called the *wild* west for a reason ;)
Parker King
I feel like the push back against red dead redemption 2 has been met with a lot less resistance than the pushback against botw
Aaron White
controls and animations are admittedly shit but it’s fun to do dumb shit like lassoing strangers or driving wagons off cliffs
You people are pathetic. You've been conditioned into NEEDING a reward for every action you do in game. Sometimes things are fun to do just because they're fun to do. Sometimes it's fun to hunt just because it's fun to hunt. Please grow up you zoomers.
Cooper Gray
I don’t own a switch, never plan to, but having seen many hours of both, rdr2 just falls short in so many areas botw doesn’t
Colton Lopez
Adults don't feel the need to defend what they like, user. At least entertainment wise. I love RDR2 but I get a kick out of these people who have a ravenous need to shout at everyone as to why it's shit.
Joshua Miller
thanks for ruining the reputation of my centuries old company
They'd hate my game idea about wandering with a group of traders during a fantasy/medieval setting. Would be very sim heavy. Setting up camps, places to sell, etc...
Carson Wright
Boring game
Nathaniel Scott
Nah dawg, you got the shit all twisted word-word, lemme tell ya rought now tha zoomers luuuuuv dat rdr2 too shet ight? Me n my homies all be playin dat shit jerkin pullin on our shit through our pants, kissing n huggin each other, just like ta get inda mood ya feel?? Theme cowboys was gay as fuck(forreal) that’s why I like that shit, gives me n my niggas a gay outlet.
thanks for making me hold the button to interact with almost anything
seriously, this is the worst fucking mechanic ever, i don't understand how everyone just accepts it. it's so bad that it almost ruins the game. its like the game is asking "do you really want to do this" every fucking time you do anything. Rockstar never did this before, why start now, and why do it for everything? It is unbelievably terrible.
Id like it if it didnt control like fucking shit, like RDR2
Austin Jackson
beardlet
Jonathan Perry
>generic meet and insult voice options. name another game where you can insult and berate quest givers on a whim. idiot
Daniel Robinson
Oh yes user, the best selling, most critically acclaimed game of 2019 is so underground that only true gamers even know what it is
Joshua James
>game has tap assist option if you dont want to tap so much >has no effect on the horse which you use like 95% of the time thanks, dumbasses. why even include the option in the menu if it doesnt effect what actually requires the most tapping
people like you are the biggest dumbasses of all. the missions are fucking retarded shoot em ups that completely conflict with the slow paced gameplay outside of them. the survival mechanics are also fucking basic as hell. this game is not "uncompromising", it shoves really shitty missions with a lot of shooting down your throat
Anthony Rodriguez
Subjective my man. Either learn to maneuver or quit playing and bitching.
Samuel Cooper
Not an argument
Matthew Murphy
i like brokeback mountain cowbow gay sex with hats on
Oliver Garcia
>autism The horse controls are so bad that people feel the need to use cinematic mode to make the game play itself, because the simple act of controlling the horse is so boring and tedious. It ruins the game.
Sebastian Long
No they don't dude the game has great shooting controls
And just because you don't like something doesn't make it shit,
Gavin Green
>Either learn to maneuver You're a fucking retard, the complaints about the controls aren't because of difficulty. The game is easy as fuck. The problem with the controls is that they are sluggish and unsatisfying.
Eli Reyes
no, people just tell you to use cinematic mode because you can't cope with tapping a button lol.
except that cinematic horse mode crashes into shit and then you've suddenly got a wanted level
Carter Anderson
Sure it dose
Carson Collins
i've seen webms of this happening but i've never experienced it, or that one where you're riding through town fast and people jump out of the way when you've still got like 5feet of space but they still agro.
then again i have the disc and never updated.
David Johnson
Thanks for letting PC players wait God knows how long to experience the disappointment you get from a Sony movie game.
John Perez
I ran over a dog once and got wanted for animal cruelty. At that level I think you can talk to the sheriff and he kicks you out of town but I ran like a bitch
David Carter
>Jim Sterling >clearly blackwater in the image >Arthur never gets to go there or to new austin
Carson Cruz
Every Rockstar game since 4 has had jank control. But I enjoyed RDR1
RDR2 controls significantly worse than IV, RDR1, or GTAV. It's largely due to the much higher number of items and interactions and the clunkiness that introduces, combined with the sluggish movement and animations. Also, the fact the game limits your speed in towns and buildings is really fucking annoying and wasn't so bad in previous games.
Andrew Gomez
Different, but not worse. It felt like a refinement to 4's control
refinement? 4 still feels better to control. when I play IV Im not constantly thinking about how clunky it is, but I am with RDR2
Isaac Johnson
I see nothing wrong here. The game isn't some fast paced action game where every frame matters. Stop being autistic and accept that people enjoy different things. Or keep throwing fits. Either way I'm fapping.
Julian Stewart
All the game needed was like 3 more moments like this and 1 less chapter of moving the camp and it would have been perfect
completely fucking pointless god I want to throttle the writers. the entire lemoyne section has some of the worst writing in the game.
WE WUZ DEPUTIES N SHEIT, followed up by a strange lead in to St Denis because a kid got kidnapped, for some reason. Dire.
Juan Rodriguez
>4 and RDR2 control virtually the same. I really have no idea what you are talking about at all. GTA IV doesnt have so many annoying interactions with variable inputs and forced walking, doesnt make you hold to interact, it just goes on and on. Even if the precision of movement was improved, almost everything else feels worse, or at the very least different.
Isaac Johnson
It's weird how you spend so much time as Arthur defending Dutch, then when he finally comes to his senses the games fucking over.
We needed at-least 1 chapter of Arthur either trying to overthrow Dutch and become leader or a clear divide in the camp between Arthur loyalists and Dutch loyalists
Camden Gutierrez
Realism isn't a bad thing to strive for in games. What's bad is when that realism only applies some of the time and other times, the game becomes full on Hollywood capeshit levels of insanity.
Aiming is cumbersome as fuck with Arthur being heavy and also there being shaky aim when you move. But the game also gives you dead eye which instantly allows you to kill a dozen guys in a second. So why even bother making regular aim fucking useless when you just shit all over it through another gameplay choice?
Or how about the story, you're forced to go on these long rides to watch people do nothing. Immersion and realism right? But then there's also missions where you ride hot air balloon to save the tumblrina self-insert by flying above her and throwing rope down to her while she's riding a horse being gunned down by a dozen others. Ok so why spend my time with all the useless "immersion" quests when you just shit all over it instantly the next mission?
RDR2 is filled with these discrepancies. One moment you're supposed to treat it like an authentic and grounded take on the setting, the other it turns into pure fantasy. The Houser brothers are too far up their own asses to see this. You can't be two extremes at once.
Yeah what was up with the kidnapping and bronte bullshit? Was it just to show Dutch going insane? If so, they could've done a better job.
Hunter Sanders
By the time Arthur finally decided that Dutch had gone to far a good chunk of the camp was missing or dead and he was essentially on his death bed.
Christian Roberts
its especially bad since dutch is clearly shitty from the start. the story sucks, it probably should have taken place way earlier when the gang was still functioning and not falling apart.
Lucas Evans
How is it possible to "enjoy" an inherent flaw in the game's programming. You're either baiting or genuinely have a mental disability.
Joseph Gray
It isn't an inherent flaw. It's a design choice you disagree with.
Benjamin Anderson
Its GTAIV again. The game starts with a serious tone and a cynic character with a heavy past and all that gravitas is lost when the dumb missions start to roll, the plot crumbles and the main character turns out to be a massive hipocrite, and not as something intended but due to poor writing
Camden Moore
I can't wait for this game to come to PC so we can stop pretending it's shit
normal filters don't get 97 percent scores on metacritic, this is the most normal teir game ever created, the game is so slow a braindead chimp could play it
Jose Brown
Everybody complained that the horses in RDR1 were too fast and felt like cars. So for 2 they changed it, made the horses slower and more realistic, and people still complain. It's like you guys don't even know what you want
>the game is so slow a braindead chimp could play it yeah but apparently not you
Jayden Gonzalez
you enjoy movie games friendo, that's fine many people wanted more badass shit to do, also the control were shit and the op describes how tedious the gameplay was, the unequipping of weapons, and the delay just wasn't condusive to gameplay
Nicholas Wright
why are you pretending the people who complained are the same in both instants? and why are you pretending rockstar is the victim in this?
Daniel Gray
And you are forced to mash the button to even go at mild speed because muh realistic cowboy sim, right?
Logan Barnes
i can't wait for it to come to PC so mods can fix all the shit wrong with it
Leo White
Where are you getting the notion it's a design choice? Why the hell would they intentionally gimp the game's controls.
Parker Mitchell
Like being able to shoot Dutch in the face first thing in the game? I might buy a new PC for that
Jaxson Cook
Consolefags defend anything from Rockstar with their life since it's the only company that will release open world games for them.
>And you are forced to mash the button You can go one constant speed and even put down the controller, user. It's explained in the game.
Jayden Nguyen
>responsive controls are now zoomer Yea Forums is losing it’s fucking mind
Mason Gomez
>RDR2 is Yea Forums's wet dream you are gay
Cooper Williams
>this insane amound of copping
Before RDR2, I only saw other two games make Yea Forums this buttblasted: The Witcher 3 and Breath of the Wild. I don't think that its a coincidence that these three games are so beloved by the general public and would probably be considered some of the best games of this generation. Yea Forums at the end of the day is just a hivemind of joyless hipsters who take pleasure in nitpicking and playing dumb in order to downplay great games.
Ryan Flores
rdr2 is a very normie game
Luis Lee
like the game not unequipping your guns every time you sneeze, making money actually matter, making the camp actually matter, making the wanted system actually make sense, removing the retarded babby-tier """survival""" elements.
Daniel Wilson
>how long Yea Forums can argue about controls: the thread
Brody Jones
i liked Witcher 3 and BotW and RDR2 was shit.
Dylan Bennett
Yes, yes you did, fucking dumbass.
Xavier Jackson
My main issue with the control, is that it feels like there is an extra layer of disconnection between you and the character, that their previous games didn't have. It feels like you are feeding inputs to a robot and THEN it performs the action, as opposed to it feeling more simultaneous. I dont understand how people act like it just feels the same as GTAIV, V or RDR1. It feels a lot different. Its like there is a 1:2 relationship between your input and Arthur's response, whereas in the other games it felt more like 1:1. Its not just due to the input delay, although its bad, its also how the game doesnt start the long animation for an interaction until after holding for a second.
Of course I have a PS4 Slim I'm not retarde and so what?
Levi Bell
If he provided proof then show it to me
Samuel Allen
I played it and got bored because my iq is over 100, why should I be roped into caring about an entire camp of people I could give less than a fuck about

Jeremiah Rivera
v seems to like games with some substance to the gameplay
Carter Miller
You don't have to eat or drink at all except to regain heath which is a common feature in every action/adventure video game. Feeding your horse was in RDR1.
William Clark
Jim Sterling's proof is a Kotaku article (lul) signed by Jason Schreier (omega lul). Really, everything in that article is the exaclty same shit we already saw in many other triple A studios out there like Bioware, Riot and CD Projeckt Red. Seems like its just the industry standard at this point, but vultures like Schreier and Sterling still act like its some unacceptable thing because both want to push for the unionization of the game industry.
Ayden Cooper
>substance to the gameplay >/like Yea Forums doesn't fall to any interactive novel with big juice anime titties in it
Nice joke, here is a (you).
Hunter Ward
the most critically acclaimed game of 2019 is not RDR2
Jose Morales
there are different people on v, you just referred to anime weebfags, there are separate populations and the current population you are talking to is people who like shooters, and action adventure games
Brandon James
You are right, its the most critically aclaimed game of 2018.
Oh fuck off, anyone who has browsed Yea Forums for more than a year knows the hivemind here is fucking huge. This "B-BUT /V IS NOT ONE PERSON!!" excuse is just a shameless cop out.
Evan Morales
>tumblrina self insert Sadie is based on calamity Jane as she's portrayed in deadwood (she was a real person) There was actually plenty of female outlaws that got pretty famous in the 1800s. Try reading a book, bud
Owen Hill
As a non-american, I don't see any problem at all, more jobs being outsourced to me!
Asher Jackson
the majority of v likes games with substance to the gameplay, picking the small population of weebfags who play Anime titty games isn't a valid argument
people play different games for different reasons, anime titty games aren't played for substance of gameplay, meanwhile the large majority of v plays games for substance of gameplay, the backlash you get for this game is evidence of that
Christian White
No, MGS2 is brilliant. RDR2 is incomparable; they had all the budget in the world and they made the most boring game possible with it.
Camden Parker
Or maybe he has better thing to do with his time, than to collect all that garbage in RDR2 to unlock stuff ?
RDR1 handled all that that far better, not did it feel like a waste of time with shitty controls
Leo Scott
>small population of weebfags >small
You talk like Yea Forums as a whole wasn't born out of a anime blog that was filled weebfags since the beginning. Who are you trying to fool? This entire website is nothing but weeb faggotry and Japan dick-sucking.
Bentley Ross
I spent as much of that money as I could on clothes and upgrading my weapons and horse and racked up a huge bounty so I would be down to below 100 dollars. Whenever I make a large amount in one mission in Rockstar games I always blow it all as quick as possible to keep it interesting
Josiah James
They're not gimped.
Thomas Bailey
Being able to refill all your cores just by sleeping was a really dumb design choice. It makes food feel totallly unnecessary.
Levi Perry
It's to simulate bodyweight and inertia
Mason Hernandez
Why can't you just admit it's not your type of game instead of complaining about those things? Do you play sim games and complain that there are too many steps and things that aren't fun?
The goal of this game was complete immersion in a frontier environment, surviving off the land. It had problems delivering on that, but the things you're complaining about aren't, and it sounds more like it's just not the type of game you're interested in.
Dylan Jenkins
I was playing this game for the first time yesterday. At one point I wanted to get back to the gang's camp but didn't have my horse with me. I didn't want to walk all the way there but didn't want to steal a horse neither. I found some rando riding a carriage that was going the same route and asked if i could get a ride and he said hop on user. He got me closer to my destination and we parted ways.
If the game was filled with neat moments like this it would have been the best game ever
Honestly some of the best music to ever appear in a game, especially the licensed music they used during the more dramatic moments. WELL LET ME HAVE A RULE AND A SAW AND A BOARD AND I'LL CUT IT
Austin Thompson
Nah, they made an incredibly immersive game that some people can't get into because they jump into it expecting nonstop action à la GTA
Easton King
>Thanks for making funding the camp mean nothing. This is the worst part about the game. The camp is supposed to be the game's biggest feature, but funding it feels totally inconsequential for gameplay.
Asher Ramirez
I was playing this game for the first time yesterday. At one point I wanted to get back to the camp but didn't have my horse with me.

Eli Richardson
>being so much of a brainlet the whole point of Dutch being an impulsive idiot who's going mad is lost on you The whole point of RDR2 is to show you how badly Dutch screwed things up in the name of his 'ideals', leading to all the death and mayhem in the first game.
Gabriel King
DUDE IT 1899 ......AM AFRAID "COUGH"
Justin Stewart
They aren't gimped. You seriously think they play tested this game and said "well fuck... Arthur doesn't control like Dante... Fuck it no time to fix just ship it!"
Camden Rodriguez
RDR1 was worse. Just focused on Johns face for like 20 seconds
Easton Morris
Yeah, Arthur should start his animation as soon as your press the button, and complete the action when the circle is all the way full.
Luis Price
And Ed Gein never committed necrophilia with the corpses he played with because they smelled terrible. Everyone's got standards.
Thomas Rivera
The survival aspects were pretty surface level. Yet if they were any more complex you'd have people complaining about it anyway. Still, the hunting and fishing in this game is comfy as fuck
Why are you pretending there is a victim to begin with?
Logan Sanders
>atrocious on rails opening sequence that never fucking ends >overly long animation every time you want to loot a dead body >half black half injun retard whines incessantly about how wh*tes are racist by 2019 standards in 1899 >useless strong womyn characters to appease the SJW crowd >90,000,000 ways to break the law but your crimes will always be forgiven if you wire someone enough money >controls are inexplicably delayed >only like four fucking quick draw segments >story grinds to a screeching halt when you wash up on the island to lead a slave rebellion or some bullshit

lol no the star system is part of what makes the hunting system so good. It's exciting to come across a critter with perfect stat so you can deck out your comfy camp
Joshua Wilson

Michael Thompson

Jacob Evans
>unequipping gun This is my biggest fucking problem with the game. Whenever you want to explore the world and hunt shit, the weapon yoh want to use is left behind. What's even more annoying is that you know they are capable of fixing this. In late game missions, your horse doesn't take away weapons. In fact, you automatically get weapons you didn't even have equipped.
Christian Long
>Have my double barrel and bolt-action equiped >Game swaps me to the repeating shotgun and lancaster repeater when I get off my horse near a mission. I never carried my guns with me unless I was hunting, but it pissed me off when I chose guns I wanted on me for a mission and the game decided to pick different ones.

>People claiming that RDR2 is a filter for 'zoomers' How did we get to the point where people were claiming fucking Rockstar games were anything other than for 'zoomers', especially when you consider that the first R* game that anyone gives a shit about is GTA3 which released at the very end of 2001, which by most Yea Forums standards is peak """""""zoomer"""""""?
Ryan Collins
The problem people have with this game is that it wants to be a movie, but it's a video game. Another problem? Like Tarantino's Django, you can't make a better Western than Sergio, so why even try? You'll always have a worse soundtrack, worse visuals, worse dialogue, or worse story. Italians have been making fine art since the fucking renaissance, they are the kings of their craft. Why aren't there any Italian video game studios? Because videogames aren't art... yet.
I mean, I like all 3 games but RDR2 has so many flaws and baffling design decisions I could probably list them all day. It's a great game and one of my favorites but R* proved the only good thing left about them is their technical quality (by overworking poor souls).
Gabriel Davis
user there's tons of little moments like that in this game

I personally love autistic sim games so I don't mind all the things people bring up that slow the game down. What I do hate is how the game CONSTANTLY takes control from the player and forces you to do things in a very specific arbitrary way. The story missions are the most braindead, handholdy, and antifun shit I've played in years. If you try to do anything at all besides riding your dumb fucking horse in a tiny area and going through shooting galleries the game screams at you and fails the mission. You're barely even playing the game, just tapping x on your horse and occasionally autoaiming at enemies. Most of the "game" should have been a cutscene so you could at least skip it or put the controller down instead of tapping x to continue. When I was playing it with my buddy we actively avoiding taking the controller because it was so fucking boring to play and more enjoyable to watch. Messing around in the open world is fun but there's so little to do. Your main way of interacting with the world is shooting shit but you're so heavily punished by omniscient teleporting lawmen you're not really even free to do that. I really cannot understand how anyone can unironically say this is one of the greatest games of all time when the majority of it is egregiously bad story missions
Levi Collins
They're mostly shitposting faggots from the rdr2 general on /vg/. They're deranged fanboys that will sperg out even at the most minuscule of criticism.

>head to seemingly benign mission >Arthur gets off horse with two rifles on his back >events are immediately spoiled Would it be so hard to just give the player a heads up while they ride to the mission location after starting it? Dutch or whoever could literally just say "get your guns out, Arthur. There might be some fighting"
Robert Hughes
I agree with the whole very scripted story missions stopping the game from being enjoyable, maybe if there was more than just shooting stuff in the free roam it be fun.
Christian Rodriguez
Why are you replying to bait?
Aaron Moore
this whole thread is bait
David King
I have a few issues with this game, but most of them are due to personal taste. The only thing I would call an undeniable flaw is the way the witness/bounty system works without a mask on. >Start fishing next to random guy >Catch enough to feed the camp >Go to leave on my horse >accidentally get on his >Immediatly jump off and say sorry >Guy tries to shoot me >Disarm him and knock him out >Some guy across the huge ass river sees this happen. HOLY FUCK THATS ARTHUR MORGAN >Guy escapes due to being so far away, which immediately gives me a $20 bounty and spawns lawmen >Become dissapointed that a game with so much money behind it would allow something so basic be one of the main systems of the game
Caleb Allen
>Yet if they were any more complex you'd have people complaining about it anyway. Bullshit, stop making excuses for the horribly implemented mechanics in this game. The "survival" elements in this game are so god-awful that you have to wonder why they were even included. Even describing them as surface level feels like you are giving them too much credit.
If they want this game to feel like a sim, they should have made it one. Not give it typical rockstar missions with really half assed sim elements just slapped on.
Adam Adams
this game has the weirdest fanboys i have ever seen. RDR2 has sooo many fucking problems yet they act like everything about the game is flawless.
Brandon Cox
dutch is obviously shitty from the start, we dont need several chapters to tell us what we already know. any reasonable person would have accepted milton's offer and turned dutch in in chapter 2. at that point its clearly obvious the gang's ideals are crap
Grayson Parker
at least in RDR1 it was just a button press. Having to hold it for a second in 2 makes it feel more prolonged. The animation often feels longer anyway. not to mention john just stored it in his sack instead of having to put shit on the horse. so at the end of the day, 2 feels slower
James Moore
>the setting, albeit beautiful doesn't have a Western atmosphere. Maybe if your only interaction with the Western genre is watching "A Fistful of Dollars" once.
much of the game (most?) takes place in the south. it doesnt feel like a western. after chapter 2 the game basically ceases to be a western at all
Aiden Allen
>Thanks for the incredibly long horse rides. same shit in the first game, why is everyone complaining now
Nicholas Perry
If its a good game and you enjoy it then who cares? Of course it had its flaws, no one is denying that, but some people here almost seem to enjoy giving an overwhelming amound of attention to RDR2 flaws while downplaying or ignoring its strengths.
Lucas Evans
Yes, thank you for proving my observation.
Matthew Hernandez
Cyberpunk 2077 is a beast of its own. Never before have I seem Yea Forums grasp so much to find things to complain about in a game that its not even out yet. The whole discussion about the sun alone was borderline insane.
Lincoln Flores
The sunfag legitimately has some kind of mental disorder.
Charles Reed
what western movies take place in the south? please enlighten us with your vast movie knowledge of westerns in the south
Because people like OP don't play videogames. Every single thing OP complained about are things that have already been wildy discussed on Yea Forums. Anyone could have already formed these opinions about RDR2 without playing or even watching anything about the game but just by browsing all the threads we already had about RDR2 here. Its cattle mentality at its best.

I'm sorry senpai, but that farm seg was boring as shit. I loved the game but it took way too long to get back to outlaw shit

it's a pretty good game if you're not a pseud

Ayden Nguyen
>move around >things happen >hurrrr im entertained *drools all over cock because im too retarded to put pants on*
so cute, so innocent..the mind of a brainless child. meanwhile...the controls to the game are absolute shit and anything but intuitive.
>Thanks for unequipping my guns This is the one thing that truly bothers me. Why the fuck can't I keep at least one rifle or shotgun on my back at all times? I don't need something like GTA5 where I can magically pull 5 handguns, 3 assault rifles, 4 shotguns, 2 rpgs and 16 grenades out of my asshole. But allow me to have at least one long arm on me at all times without having to retrieve it from my goddamn horse, jesus fuck.
Jaxson Miller
You are aware it's bad?

I agree AJ
Noah Reyes
Uninstalled this dogshit game graphics is all it has, still have rd1 installed...
Isaac Gonzalez
So, we're not allowed to mention them? Those flaws made parts of the game complete ass. If you want to circle jerk about Arthur's ball sack go to reddit. This board is mainly for criticizing games since that isn't allowed anywhere else.

>get the game in february >still haven't finished Arthur's story because of collectables and side content Loving Every Laugh Genuinely love this game, honestly
its good if you give yourself time to enjoy it. i rushed through my first playthrough and thought it was absollute overrated trash. second playthrough i decided to take it more slow, go hunting, discover shit etc and it ended up being a lot more enjoyable. stlll dont give a shit about guarma though, that whole part of the game felt unnecessaryand out of place. going back to mexico wouldve been better imo
Christian Richardson
The vast majority of those "reasons" are: "it runs like shit on consoles and I can't control it well with a gamepad".

Eli Cox
When I'm riding bitch with another player my character automatically moves forward to take the reigns. This wouldn't piss me off so much if the animation could be instantly cancelled with the dismount button. Is there a way to change this in the settings?
Oh right also that it sucks because I can't run it on mom's computer
Robert Nelson
Nothing. It means they might actually get compensated like regular developers instead of worked to the bone for less pay.
Anthony Cox
Agreed, they needed even one more moment where you could feel the closeness of the gang and how efficient they were at destroying shit before the decline. Jack getting kidnapped was fucking retarded and made no sense. Why would Bronte want this little vagabond kid as payment, he's got a whole city of them.
Luke Miller
Arthur doesn't fuck prostitutes anymore because he tried that to fix his endless thirst for Mary and it just made it worse
Carter Campbell
nothing at all, people on Yea Forums like to larp that it's bad because it's communist to not want mr silverman balls deep in your shitter 24/7 for a salary apparently
Chase Bailey
Spend your money when it comes out on PC then.
Just be prepared for a shit game lmao.
I warned you

>Thanks for unequipping my guns. This was genuinely annoying
>Thanks for being boring. Completely subjective; plenty of people enjoyed it
>Thanks for giving me unlimited money in the 5th mission making all side activities pointless You must have never visited a Fence or had enough fun fucking around to actually rack up a large bounty
>Thanks for making funding the camp mean nothing. If you do it early on you never have to worry about special ammo, meds, ect. Also completely optional >Thanks for adding generic meet and insult voice options. Walking down the street drunk and insulting everyone is fun. People also often react in interesting ways >Thanks for incredibly linear quests. What does this even mean? Does every quest need to have multiple conclusions? >Thanks for making the game unplayable without the minimap on. Probably true without learning the map really well. >Thanks for the incredibly long horse rides. Use stagecoaches if you hate riding horses in a western
>Thanks for the same mission structure every mission. There was plenty of variety even if most were "ride here and shoot some guys"
>Thanks for an inconsistent wanted system. It's mostly determinant on whether there were any witnesses
>Thanks for clunky controls. A given for a R* game, but better than most
>Thanks for firing a developer for trying to fix the broken shooting. First I'd heard of it, and what was wrong with the shooting? As long as you understand the concept of bolt and lever action rifles it handles about the same as any R* game
>Thanks for crunching the programmers to produce this shit. Don't pretend you care
it's explained the Braithwaites gave him Jack, and were going to pay him once they sorted shit out. The Braithwaites got fucked so Bronte wasn't going to get paid, that's why he just gives Jack back
