Only games I've played in the last year+ have been Terraria, Streets of Rogue, Enter the Gungeon, and ADOM, along with a little Nuclear Throne, Darkwoods, and Black Mesa

I'm extremely bad at clicking on bad guys heads so it takes a lot to make me like an fps and I don't think rdr2 is gonna do it, so I won't buy it

Nowadays I like to buy new games even if I know I probably won't have time to sit down and fully finish them. So I play short sessions of various titles over long periods of time and then when a random weekend opens up when my gf is between projects or something then I stick to one of those titles and finish it.

As soon as I get to my pc I am sitting down with a couple of hours of Destiny 2. It is really pleasing me and I think this weekend (as I will only have PS4 access) I think I will try to finish God of War or Spider-Man.

I might be more interested in RDR2 if 1) GTA Online hadn't been the only post-release content that GTA5 got (idk if this is even true but don't correct me tyvm) and 2) my entire memory of GTA5 Online wasn't waiting 15 minutes to finally connect to the online portion, doing half of one race and then getting disconnected and then repeating that for an hour or two. like the focus on the online stuff just soured my whole opinion on Rockstar, but i guess it makes sense considering how much money it made them. The crunch hours thing is just icing on the cake

LawfulWaffle posted:I would prefer reviews for AAA games a few weeks after the game comes out. Give it time to breathe, to see if the gameplay is still engaging after trying to rush through the experience to get a 1000 word review out the door before release date. I like westerns which is why I don't want to see rockstar gently caress them up with their stupid, insufferably awful writing like they did crime films in gta5

If you have a comfortable life and no convictions its really easy to just look at people shouting about politics and say "oh hm neither side is calm and composed like I am about this thing I intentionally avoid. They must all be bad." and it's the most infuriating poo poo

The Slant review goes into what you can expect from the writing.quote:The myth of society, the inherent cruelty of people, the hypocrisy of treating predatory capitalists as a more civilized class—every warmed-over western theme is presented here without an ounce of subtlety and conveyed in the broadest possible strokes. Questioning the myth of the western is, at this point, almost as old as the base mythologizing that the genre did for so long, which leaves nothing unique to the game’s genre introspection. Red Dead Redemption 2 is the most ambitious game Rockstar has put out, in how it wants to be about something as much as the scope of its open world, but its aspirations don’t go much further than transplanting the themes of better westerns into an incredibly long video game, where you don’t ruminate on those themes so much as bump into them every once in a while on a mission.

This sounds like a game made by people who haven't actually seen or read very many westerns but think they know about the genre anyways from popculture.

I don't know, that's already above the expected writing subtlety in gaming. I'd like for games to have overall better writing but outside of a few indie titles (like the amazing Cart Life) I've never seen real life issues analyzed more thoroughly in the medium. Even the few games with genuinely good writing like The Witcher 3 excel more in the quality of dialogue and moment-to-moment storytelling rather than doing justice to more broad historical or social issues.

RDR1 was as tonedeaf if not more. It's not an argument for not having to improve though.

So before when I talked about annoying poo poo and baggage and hoop-leaping in games exhausting me and leaving me the desire for a game that is just turn-on-play-go, this is some of the kind of crap I was talking about. I read all this stuff and it leaves me dead cold to wanting to bother with RDR2.

Accordion Man posted:I mean I remember enough about the game because one its of my favorites and the only part of the game I remember that's a bit iffy is Mexico but I remember it being more portrayed less as "both sides are equally bad" and more of fitting the bleaker spaghetti western feel. Reyes is poo poo, but the game never mocks the true believers in his cause from what I remember, its sympathetic to them. the woman representative of his "true believers" is presented as a moon-eyed naif incapable of thinking outside of slogans who gets unceremoniously gunned down trying to rush armed soldiers with a kitchen knife as you said it's a little more appropriate than usual giving the setting but it's still definitely in the housers' southpark esque "lol if you care about anything" milieu

I mean they probably made the right decision, great writing would be wasted on a playerbase that doesn't even read reviews before bringing the knives out for anyone not indulging their preconceptions

with that said RDR's general misanthropy at least feels like it had some kind of aim beyond braindead attempts at comedy, because all of the decent people in the game getting left behind or shot dead feels less like a punchline and more like they're part of an ever-mounting pile of casualties created by the world's older unthinking cruelties and its newer cold and institutionalized ones, the latter of which finally rises up to claim marston himself at the end
