Title: Red Dead Redemption 2
Post by: renfield on November 05, 2018, 07:34:51 PM
I don't really play big blockbuster video games these days and when I do, I tend to be shocked by how technology has progressed. This is definitely the case with RDR2. Holy fucking shit, this game is alive.

My mom was the same way with THE REVENANT.

It's a total time suck too.   Was going the "lawful" path until my aging brain to finger synapse went backwards and I killed a lady sitting on her porch instead of talking to her. 

Fun game but holy shit is it big.   I feel like I could play the game for 10 years and not finish.

Half of your party at the beginning is black, so there's that.

I haven't played video games in probably close to 15 years, but seeing the commercials for this kinda make me interested in checking it out.  I'm not even sure what systems are out there, or what system this is on.  The last platform I bought was a PS2, which now gathers dust in my attic.
What's the desired way to go with this game?

Probably the best experience would be with a PS4 Plus, which has more power than the original PS4.

Not cheap though.

I'm sure it's the same on an XBox One or whatever. There were bundle deals with the game all over the place from the ads I see online. It's like playing an interactive movie. I need to play it more.

That in the narrative?
I'm starting to get the feel & groove of the game, at first it was
like running thru molasses, super slow control, but tweaked the
sensitivity, took auto aim off and waaaay more immersive now and
responsive...still fucking Rockstar's new CEO's are cunts, the
fishing blows....what a shame indeed.

I dunno, I've been pretty much ignoring the main quest and gallivanting about. There are a lot of honor-based decisions and I have tried to take the honorable route.

I completely agree on the controls, although I would make the same criticism of all the Rockstar games from GTA4 on. Sluggish as fuck.

   GTA3 is the bomb

   I never even attempted a quest.

3, Vice City, and San Andreas are among the best games ever made.
