I am only a couple hours in but so far I feel like this game feels a little more mature than the last few GTAs or even the first RDR. I'm sure I'll run into some sort of Herbert moooooooon thing soon enough but for now it's pretty refreshingly restrained.

As much as I wanted to play this without minimap/gps bullshit, the compass kind of sucks. I'm playing on a 1080p tv, sitting 6 feet away on a couch, and the thing is so goddamn small I can't read the N, S, E, W, they all just look like black blips, so it's pretty much useless unless it's pointing at an active objective or something.

TMMadman posted:You can make it use a bigger mini map. Hold down on the D-Pad and then a menu will pop up asking what size you want the minimap. Choose expanded. I know that. I don't want a mini map. I want a compass that I can read so I can pretend to be a cowboy and not a dude using Waze to get around everywhere. Compasses aren't really functional if you can't read at least which direction is north. The compass is one size and it's not changeable.

I accidentally ran into a tree riding my horse and freaked out for a moment because I thought I had killed my horse with severe blunt trauma. But he got up and shook his head, and I fed him a pear and told him he was a good horse and he seemed fine. However last night when I last played my horse was a female black and white doppled horse, and this morning my horse is apparently a brown male horse. A transgender transracial horse, pretty cool that Rockstar is pushing these progressive boundaries tbh. Also, and I say this as a broken brained Destiny addict, it's kind of sweet to play a game that isn't concerned with giving you constant rewards for that sick dopamine rush. They've created a world to marvel at and for once I feel satisfaction simply from existing in and experiencing things there, if I get some money or a new gun it's just a nice bonus. Quirky controls aside this could be a strong contender for game of this generation for me.

I go to hand the man his money, when That's hilarious. I lost for the same reason, but then he challenged me to double or nothing to shoot four birds out of the sky and I lost that hard because I'm a free aim purist.

insane anime posted:77 hours? I did it all much less than that. It helps if you are actually good at video games, and know how to use your time efficiently instead of doing retarded stuff that doesn't amount to any trophies. What the gently caress did you just loving say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the gently caress out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my loving words. You think you can get away with saying that poo poo to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're loving dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable rear end off the face of the continent, you little poo poo. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your loving tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will poo poo fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're loving dead, kiddo.

I think the enjoyment factor of this game is really going to depend on how much you can get into the head space of just rolling with the punches and not being concerned with playing "optimally" or whatever and also if you just really enjoy being a cowboy. That said I felt pretty gross and sleazy when I robbed an immigrant dude to collect his debt. Speaking of gross and sleazy, were assisted baths really a thing in the old west? Like it was weird and I expected it to be prostitution but then it was so hilariously tame I loving lol'd.

Word. To me it's a little weird that they kept the honor system in place because I feel like Arthur tends to be a piece of poo poo most of the time. I was trying to play as a white hat but it's kind of annoying to have the game push me away from it so I might just lean into the black hat a bit. I like John's voice a lot more too and hearing him in this game is painful because it makes me just wish I was playing as John.

Jesus if you really can't handle "slowly riding your horse" somewhere and just want to fast travel to your next dopamine hit, just go play Destiny or something. This is a game that absolutely does best when you let it breathe a little and if that's not your thing that's fine. Every time I go somewhere in this game I see something new that is absolutely stunning in some way and it's pretty much always worth it.

Qubee posted:"your opinion is stupid, if you don't like a lovely game mechanic, go play a different game, idiot! but let me add a little caveat and say if this isn't your thing, it's totally fine, I get it." he1ixx posted:I don't think that's what they were saying. They were saying that this game is about riding your horse around a lot. If you don't like riding your horse around, this may not be the game for you. They also said that the horse riding takes you to some interesting interactions and content which you'd miss if you fast traveled around. The horse riding isn't a "lovely game mechanic" just because you don't like it. It is a huge part of the game and a large impetus for content discovery. I find it pretty drat fun too. It's ok if you don't like it. I don't like a lot of things in life too.  Basically what he1ixx said. I like modern skinner box gaming as much as the next person where there's always something going on that gives me treats for being a good boy, but there's room for other kinds of games too. I've been listening to the podcast "Treks and the City" lately. It's a feminism/fashion focused podcast with Alice Wetterlund of Silicon Vallley and Veronica Osorio of Hail! Caeser. They're both long time TNG fans and it's fun to hear a different take on Star Trek than some nerdy white guys talking about how great it is. One of the things they point out frequently is how much wasted time/space there is, and how it's so different from modern tv where pretty much everything is designed to push things forward at all times. Like, you'll see Riker at a door and Picard will say enter, and the camera will just follow Riker the whole time as he walks into the room and sits down to talk to Picard. Whereas a modern tv show would just start the scene with Picard and Riker sitting down having a conversation. That is one of the things I like about TNG because it gives a similar room to breath. It's a show that allows for more contemplation and introspection. I think RDR2 is like that in a lot of ways. Now I'm not saying that it's perfect but for better or worse I am glad it's the way it is, because there's already a bazillion other games out there that are the other way, and I'm not saying they're bad, I like a lot of those too. I guess it would suck if you are a big time western fan and really want a story set in the west but want a game experience more similar to something like Destiny or Spiderman or rear end Creed. In that case the only game I can even think of is that Call of Juarez: Gunslinger game (which is really really good).

Flash Gordon Ramsay posted:Pretty sure I've killed more people accidentally in this game than I have on purpose. Dumb asses see a man barreling toward them on a horse and don't get out of the way. Original flavor Red Dead Redemption had pretty gnarly entry/exit wounds, though no dismemberment. It was kind of hard to see unless you creepily went up close to inspect the bodies, and I'm not sure if that makes it more or less impressive that they added it in anyway.

Gunslingers spoiler: I really enjoyed the Mexican gunslinger up in the grizzlies. If you are nice to the guys in the camp, they say gently caress off and just unload on you. If you show up and swagger in and are an rear end in a top hat, they point you in the direction of their leader, and when you're forced to kill him they shout "he's dead!" and they all just take off running across the frozen lake.

Hobo Clown posted:I wonder if the honor system will cross over into multiplayer and they're hoping to incentivize being a more friendly player If that's the case hopefully it will become more apparent to people that the benefit of being a black hat is being able to gently caress people over and steal their poo poo and doesn't need other rewards. e: I like that right after finding a relatively detailed random encounter where I had to take a woman back to her home after saving her from being crushed under her dying horse, I found a dude along the road who just turned out to be one of those assholes pretending to be stranded to try and steal your horse. There also appears to be some variation in random events, where one of them was very long and scripted, and eventually I came across another stranded woman that was a much more generic NPC quest.

Speaking of hidden or inscrutable game options, is there a way to put extra clothes in your horse's saddle bags? I traveled back up into the grizzlies and got a message about being too cold, and I remembered that the last time I changed outfits the game gave me a pop-up saying I didn't have any cold weather clothing stored in my horse gear but I didn't see a way to do that.
