its just astounding that someones first reaction to all the amazing details put into this game is "Can they just like not? I have twenty minutes a week to put into this"

amazing details like "press x to eat" and "press x to clean gun"

Jesus Christ people, all the guy said was that he hopes the eating and horse-maintenance mechanics aren't "too intrusive" What? You'd prefer that they ARE too intrusive? No, given that the 24-day cycle in GTA5 is like 48 minutes, I don't want to have to stop a mission to feed my horse and cook myself breakfast lunch and dinner every 15 minutes. And there's really nothing in Rockstar's history to suggest that they would make anything that intrusive, so I'm sure our hopes will be fulfilled.

Geez, didn’t think not wanting certain mechanics to be too time consuming/intrusive was a controversial opinion. Guess I should’ve sandwiched that discussion between sessions of sucking off Rockstar.

Regardless, game looks like it’s gonna be awesome, no matter how terrible HORMELCHILI wants it to be.

If its eat or else baby's meter goes down and he dies like a survival game I'll mock it. If its David Cage bullshit where I go through several quick time controller jack offs, button presses and saying the right word into the microphone just so he can piss without getting a snake in his rear end, I'll return it.

it's probably going to be like every other GTA game where you walk up to a npc and give them $1 and watch a short animation then stumble around drunk or get fat

hell they might even let you just sip from a canteen while riding on your horse and it won't limit your movement beyond not letting you shoot for 1 second. but also lol if you can drink and shoot at the same time like max payne 3 pill chugging mid-gunfight

Who are you people who have zero time to play games? I have an hour commute, wife and kid so don't cry to me about it.

If you honestly get frustrated at spending 30 seconds every hour making sure that the character you're playing as is all good, you really might want to take a deep breath.

quote:

Arthur Morgan is standing in a general store, shoving cheese into his face and downing bottles of rum like an animal. We knew there would be a practical benefit to the stylish mutton chops we shaved into his face just moments before.

He’d been trekking, murdering, and hunting his way across the frontier all day and was feeling a bit sluggish. His shoulders slumped, his gait changed, and everyone he passed told him he looked like poo poo. Cheese was the answer. Cheese and alcohol.

https://www.vg247.com/2018/09/20/red-dead-redemption-2-preview/


e: from the same article:

quote:

The first thing we encounter is the sound of a man screaming.


When we find him he’s writhing around in pain. Turns out he’s been bitten by a snake, just one of hundreds of random events out in the world. We decide to suck the poison out out of his leg. “Don’t tell anyone about this,” Arthur says as he spits the venom on the sand. Our horse takes a massive poo poo.

e2: related from another article https://www.polygon.com/2018/9/20/17876570/red-dead-redemption-2-gameplay-ps4-xbox-one-rockstar

quote:

When I approached the gunsmith’s shop — which sits across the street from the church, as it happens — I noticed two men in conversation on the porch. I walked up to the pair, and one of them said to the other, “Hey, this is the guy I was telling you about!” The man explained to his friend that after he was bitten by a snake the other day, I had come across him and had saved his life by sucking the poison out of the wound. (Presumably, someone playing the game before me on this save file had actually done that.) Then he told me that I could walk into the gun shop and grab one item for free, on him, as a token of his gratitude

e3: more from first article

quote:

At one point, we are exploring a beautiful riverbank and we see a gold prospector draining water into a basin. We decide to see what he’s up to. Arthur greets him with a “Howdy,” and the prospector tells him to piss off. Obviously, we stand closer to him. “Would you mind getting out of my face?” He says. We choose ‘provoke’. “I’m mighty fine right here,” Arthur replies. The prospector loses it and tries to drag Arthur off his horse, so we hop from the saddle and smash his face in before dumping him in the river where he floats away in the current. We probably should have checked his body for gold first.

It is weird that the series has both doubled down on its gimmick of not having to aim in gunfights and implemented fully-modeled digestive and defecative systems, and the possibly to contract syphilis or scurvy, for Arthur, his horse, and every member of Dutch's gang.

I think you're fully aware that it's not that dumb.

ninjahedgehog posted:

Huh, apparently the weapons system is going to be like Max Payne 3, where all your available weapons are displayed on your person and when you switch from a long rifle to a handgun, Arthur holds the rifle in his off-hand rather than magnetizing it to his back. Presumably you can switch up your entire loadout from your saddlebags or something.

Also, dual wielding is in :hellyeah:

Yeah, the first trailer showed that you go to your horse to switch loadouts.

like a you have to tap X not to poo poo yourself in the middle of street and if your gently caress up, you brown your pants and poo poo dynamically flows down your pant legs or some hosed up detailed poo poo like that.

You’ve got over a month until RDR2, honestly just play through it taking your time. You’d be doing yourself a disservice to rush it. Don’t forget that the new game is really a prequel, so you’d not really be spoiling anything in RDR1 if you hadn’t finished it in time.

Yeah if it were made into a movie it would stand up with some of the better westerns ever made imo. It has a different tone than a gta game even though it does the same thing were it blends every trope it can get its hands on. Like if you watch westerns a lot of the scenes will be deja vue but the whole story is still interesting.

The zombie dlc is also good and i would not skip that either.

its a stank pile of garbage, the gameplay is just ride horse to place shoot dude but the horse pretty much does itself and shooting is done via super duper auto aim slow mo so the gameplay is really just watching a cowboy movie about the world's most blustery pushover yelling that this is the last time he's gonna help ya, for real, ya hear me as he collects another 45 snake dicks or whathaveyou.

EDIT: Deviate in the slightest from Dan Houser Presents: Blustery Errand Boy II: For A Few Blustery Errands More's incredibly tight scripting at any point and the game will insta-fail you. Wandering off to look at a cactus while Bonny tells you about her shrivelled ovaries is a transgression on a par with accidentally putting a rifle round in your son.
