It's a Rockstar game, it's basically gonna be the same as it was going into a Cluckin' Bell to replenish your health. I wish I wasn't so busy with everything else to play this when it drops, especially since this sounds like one of those games that will consume my life.

shut up blegum posted:It'll probably only have minor impact. Like if you don't put on a coat while going up in the mountains, you stamina may drain a bit faster, but you probably won't freeze to death Probably the only reason horse inventory would drag me down is due to being an indecisive weapon hoarder that wants enough guns for every ammo type under the sun  As long as our horse can't starve to death, we'll probably manage.

I mean you had to do similar management in breath if the wild vis a vis the clothes in differing environment so I'm not too mad about it.

Yeah but in those you could literally die without the right equipment. I don't think it'll be quite as harsh in RDR2.

I'd imagine you're going to quickly fall into finding a favourite rifle and side arm and only want to use that, so managing your guns from the horse is probably going to be negligible unless you're going deep into the wilderness to shoot deer or something. Why on earth would you ever give Arthur a shave though.

Mostly my concern is that all the minor busy work will add up to unfun busy work. I just get leery when companies hype up poo poo like taking showers and clothing getting dirty.

It's just another layer so that NPC's react differently to you, also it's not just mud and dirt, if you've carried a dead body blood with be in your clothes as well.

Shirt, pants, coat, boots, etc. I even read that you can decide whether or not sleeves are rolled up or pants are tucked into boots

It sounds like an expansion on GTA Online’s clothing buying. You can buy individual pieces or outfits that basically package all the individual items together. You get a discount on the outfit if you already have some pieces.

I hope the game has some of the same "mystical" tones that Red Dead Redemption had. Stuff like Tumbleweed, the Strange Man..

Same. I'm wondering if we'll play the ferry boat robbery the Stranger mentions. I'd love for some sort of Judge Holden type character we could cross paths with in the game. There are so many great supernatural stories that take place on the frontier during this period. Hell, they could put in homages to half of Ambrose Bierce's ghost stories.

I’m guessing another encounter with the mysterious stranger Marston encounters in the first game, foreshadowing what happens later.

I feel like Red Dead should become the flagship series, it's just way cooler than GTA is imo. Plus, the biggest boon is that Red Dead's characters tend to be way more bearable than GTA's. I honestly can't stand most GTA characters (Roman's cool tho) nor the stories because it's just worthless scumbag after worthless scumbag, especially the main characters. I know the series is meant to be satire on how crappy American society is but it gets tiring. John was a good guy for the most part who I actually wanted to play a long game with. Plus the story itself was at least enjoyable and I cared for some of the cast.

BillBear posted:I feel like Red Dead should become the flagship series, it's just way cooler than GTA is imo. Whilst I wouldn't mind it being a flagship series I think it may lessen the experience and novelty of playing a game based in the 'wild west'. What they should do is learn that people love games set in different eras and make more games with the same base mechanics from different periods. As much as I enjoyed playing LA noire I would have preferred another R* GTA-esque title than the pseudo-cinematic one we got. shut up blegum posted:It'll probably only have minor impact. Like if you don't put on a coat while going up in the mountains, you stamina may drain a bit faster, but you probably won't freeze to death Probably but we can hope they have either a harder difficulty mode or patch in some sort of 'survival' version of the main game.

While I agree that practically every GTA character is insufferable, I think having one RDR per decade helps keep Rockstar from it's bad and lazy writing habits that seem to be more prevalent in GTA. I'd rather they give other genres the RDR treatment. I'm still waiting for Agent, dammit.

one thing i saw (the article about trying to find a fishing rod) said you have to pat your horse occasionally to keep it calm or the fucker will buck and bolt on you I bet stuff like this becomes less prevalent as you get better horses

Hugh Malone posted:one thing i saw (the article about trying to find a fishing rod) said you have to pat your horse occasionally to keep it calm or the fucker will buck and bolt on you I feel like that was in the last one. You had a companionship meter or something and the horse would be less likely to spook on you or buck if you kicked too much? Also if i remember it was entirely ignorable and just playing regularly you would eventually fill the meter anyways. Im sure all these sytems are like that, a small bonus you can completely ignore.

I'd rather they give other genres the RDR treatment. I'm still waiting for Agent, dammit. It's the fact "You're a backstabbing two bit thief, and I'm a psychotic killer and drug dealer" used to be your victory speech, complete with uplifting music. Rather than trying to prod a reaction out of the player for committing crimes in crime game. But I'm optimistic about RDR2 not throwing in as much tone clashing stuff as recent GTA. They probably won't pull something like "Oh boy, we get to rob a train!" side content, then turn around with "Those train conductors had families, you monster" and not being allowed to progress the main plot until you are suitably chastised for the innocents shot/cutscened to death in your vicinity. As much because allowing players to do their best impression of The Ugly or Gummy Joe would seriously take the wind out of the sails of such navel gazing.

The problem with GTA lately is they are trying to reproduce the movie falling down but forget to not make the character a horrible awful rear end in a top hat right from the beginning.

Also gtav came out right around the time American culture became too stupid and silly to parody, and rockstar wasn’t even that good at writing American culture satire to begin with

I actually kinda love IV the best, I know, I know, I'm boring and bad. There's just some charm to it I love and find lacking in the other titles. It's radio sucked rear end though, at least compared to SA or even V.

i've posted this before at some point but the best story moment i had in GTA4 was completely unintentional i'd just finished one of those police dispatch missions that had me gun down a bunch of dudes under some bridge near the gasworks on the coast, and right after the shooting stopped niko got the phone call from mallorie announcing hers and roman's wedding so here was niko, phone to his ear and assault rifle in his free hand, happily congratulating the two of them while he stood knee-deep in blood and distant towers belched greasy fires into the sky all it was missing was a slow-mission walk back to his car and a fade to credits while this song played in the background
