Why this shit is SO FUCKING EASY?
>checkpoints on every step
>fuckload of healing items in the inventory
And even without all of that, you have to get out of your way to actually get killed by the enemy npc. Like my friend put it out during the SD bank robbery mission (supposedly one of the most dangerous missions in the game): "this is literally a shooting gallery". Snoozefest. No danger whatsoever.
The gameplay is ultimately a secondary concern in RDR2 and really just a vehicle for the story to move forward.
Rockstar clearly had very little interest in actually making a game that's fun to play.
That's fucking terrible.
Was first RDR as easy?
So what? Should Arthur be bhopping around like doomguy doing epic rip and tear kills? It's a western, it has shitty old guns that need to be readied every shot, of course it's a bit of a shooting gallery.
No, but a bit more competent (and dangerous) enemies would be welcomed. Fucking hell, the only time in the game when I actually felt in danger was that last fight with Micah, during which he moved really fast and kept suppressing me by fire. And yet this guy died in the cutscene, what a joke.
thats modern rockstar for you
Yes.
It's easy because the combat isn't great. The combat is more focussed on making you feel cowboy than being super good, which I honestly think is fine.
pass the whiskie
If it had any semblance of difficulty it might have been too much like playing a video game and that's a big no no in our cinematic experience
You thought I was joking when I told you it's a movie?
>Modern game made by Rockstar for normies is easy
I am so shocked.
This. The game feels like they mainly wanted to tell the story and realized some way through development "oh fuck yeah this takes place in an open world we need to do something with that."
Rockstar games in general are about the same in terms of difficulty. RDR1 for example was very clearly designed about you having the ability to snap aim and clear crowds of enemies like that.
If you try playing on Hardcore, which only leaves you with fully manual aiming it becomes a tedious cover shooter where you pop, shoot and wait for your health to regen since you die in two shoots or simply clear the room if you brought Dead Eye consumables.
It's a western, but people shouldn't be standing still or camping behind cover while shooting at you. The AI in this game is horribly boring and complaining about it doesn't instantly mean you want rip and tear.
Rockstar is shit, all their games are the fucking same and they hold your hand. They were good with GTAIII and then basically never again.
It's literally a movie, the memes are true. half the game is you holding a button down following someone on horseback listening to a conversation. The thing that cheesed me the most was trying to do something my own way, then getting stuck in a walking cutscene or failing because i wandered off 5 metres. You're not allowed to be creative in this game.
Yes, and it was just as boring
t. first played RDR1 in early 2019
well, it may not be the best video game material, but that's how western shootouts played out in older material, movies, books. but enemies do try to surround or come at you from back doors if you're holed up in a building. but usually they're all dead by then, so not really sure how to fix that.
How does it play on pc? I'm looking to replay it but I don't want to turn on the jet engine
Like most AAA 3rd person action/adventure """games""", the gameplay is only there so you dont get bored watching R*'s western movie.
>Rockstar games in general are about the same in terms of difficulty.
exactly. GTA games are easy besides a handful of meme missions throughout the entire franchise.
Some of the missions were hard if you were going for gold medals.
>people complain that the game is too hard when it comes out because of the realism aspects to it
>now people complain it’s way too easy because of the checkpoints
>10/10 presentation
>4/10 gameplay
sounds about right for a Rockstar game
Heres how i play and i have a lot of fun this way.
>No healing items during battle
>No dead eye during battle
>First person only
>No aiming reticle
>No auto aim (this goes without saying)
>No fast travel
>No horse reviving
>Compass only, limit map checks to every once every 5 minutes, so that way you get to know teh land instead of looking at the minimap half the time. No compass also means no enemy radar.
Game is super fun this way. Going to do a no death run and see how far i get.
Realism argument comes up when discussing how tedious game is. It was never hard, to anyone, ever.
What did you expect from Rockstar nowadays user? Their games are movies and simulations. If you expected a challenge then you are dumb.
>Why this shit is SO FUCKING EASY?
RDR2 is the "Participation Trophy" of video games, made exclusively for the aged millennial manbabby who still plays video games but can no longer succeed in fast-twitch games. So, Rockstar made a slow, tedious, boring game as a way of capturing some 30-something-year-old millennial money.
I'd argue RDR1 is more fun to play purely because it doesn't move at a slug's pace.
Getting gold medals is hard because many are
broken if you use a checkpoint. Outside of that I'd be really surprised if anyone ever died in a story mission.
RDR2 gameplay in a walnut shell -
Mount my horse, and now I'm just going to mosey on over to there. And now I'm just going to mosey on over to there. And now, oh, howdy folks, don't mind me, I'm just going to mosey on over to there. Yikes, a rabbit! Time to do some fishing. Ahh, would you look at that wonderful sunset. Well, saddle up, it's time to mosey on over to there.
>you gais, RDR2 is like GTA with horses
Stop. RDR2 is like bingo night at the senior center.
Still a better game than GTAV.
It's just boring as hell to me
Sure, I guess you can say that the Wild West wasn't exactly filled to the brim with things to do but god damn, all there is to do is missions, gambling, and hunting for le EBIN XP
