Wolfsheim posted:Rockstar games are absolutely terrible about a lot of things like female characters; I think there's literally one named female in GTAV that isn't a crazy screaming harpy, nagging bitch or a stripper, and the two that are in RDR1 are both hopelessly in love with some guy that doesn't like them back and have to be rescued over and over again. Like, I know you could say they parody everyone but usually there's at least a few calm, cool collected male characters who are just your generally likable badass protagonist or straight-man. I really didn't like Franklin because of how the game treated his aunt, who was just kinda like "lol what a bitch amirite?" when... she really wasnt, made it seem like thats just how franklin saw her which made him a huge rear end in a top hat imo from what i remember the wife in RDR1 is actually the only good character in the game (might be misremebering from her stuff in the zombie dlc) so its not like they can't write decent women.

I’ve pretty much avoided Red Dead spoilers completely. Has there been any indication how connected to to Red Dead Redemption the game is? I know it’s a prequel and you’re with Dutch’s gang for a bit of it, but do you spend the whole time with his gang? Is it like super intertwined with the previous game? I hate prequels with a burning passion so I hope the story is separate enough to sell me on the game.

bloodysabbath posted:“Everything should be run through a minimum four step filter cold-pressed process lens of comprehensive criticism review except for the review itself. Only chuds would dare speak ill of the review.” Your starting to sound like an undecided voter, buy the game or dont. Its a rockstar game and a sequel what more do you need to know. Im sorry that your brain is broke and are really concerned about what people are writing but please shut up.

Seems like you spend the entire game with the gang. John Marston, protagonist of the first game, is even there and you and interact with him.

Dapper_Swindler posted:Well he is right about that. Yeah, it was a great essay. Long-winded like any of his stuff and ever-so-slightly hifalutin, but well written and thought-provoking. He also basically single-handedly ushered in the New Games Journalism thing. I guess I'm just surprised that a) he's still in the games review business, and b) I still remember his writing from like 20 years ago.

I wonder if they explain away why the protag of this game isn’t in the previous game. If it is another “lol he dies at the end” then that is lame as poo poo.

Franklin was just a shithead who stalked an old crush and got mad that she wanted to marry someone who wasn’t a monster. Trevor and Lamar are the only good ones because at least they are honest with themselves and loyal to friends.

I think the only members that get mentioned in the first game are Dutch, Bill Williamson and Javier Escuella. So there was a lot they could work with.

The game starts in a cold climate so actually the horse balls get bigger instead of shrinking if you think about it.

She screams at him about being a freeloader constantly (despite the fact that he owns half the house, yells at him for leaving his room while she's on the phone, and says he'll always be trash because his dead mother was trash. It's been longer since I played RDR1 but I recall Marston's wife just being angry at him the entire time despite him having no choice in her whole kidnapping/ransom and doing everything he could to save her.

Fair enough about Franklin's aunt. Its been a while since I played and all I remember is her doing the "we are women, hear us roar" power-walk which seemed to be lampooning... women exercising... female empowerment? Like a lot of things in GTAV the jokes dont have any setup or punchline so you dont know what the hell they're trying to say, if anything. Marston's wife is angry but has her own stuff going on and isn't just a relentless shrew like I was expecting and had heard her described as. Shes got sharp edges but was a well drawn character and believable spouse I thought. Its been a year or two since I replayed RDR1 though, I liked her. Mordiceius posted:Prequels are loving lame. At least we're not playing as John Marston again, though id imagine the new MC is also a boring gruff guy
