I should have known better, as the whole cowboy genre is terrible as fuck. Westerns (as boomer Americans call the genre) have the slowest dialogue, the corniest patriarchal story-line, and are obviously filled with a heap ton of other problematic bits. Of course, I had to try as the game got great reviews. I thought I’d try it with the Steam summer sale.
Fuckkkkkkkk the long boring ass cut scenes. OMG pls talk faster and have dialogue that’s interesting. The beginning of the game is just 30 minutes of video and riding your horse so slowly through the snow. I thought that my TikTok brain couldn’t stand some old slow game from a bygone era, but I’m checking this shit and it was released in 2018!
If I was some prat who loved the mythology of the “settling of the west”, a game with a white dude on a horse on a mountain would get me hard. Why can’t more games be like Atomic Heart? I wanna defend the land of Stalin and have cut scenes with good dialogue a talking glove that debates theory and a sexy refrigerator that probably wants to murder me.
Games don’t need to be constantly exciting, just like movies don’t have to be. Bladerunner 2049 is one of my favorites, same with Stalker, and they let their shots run.
Slow media consumption can be nice.
no it’s 2024, all media must be consumable in sub 4 minute short form video. Anything longer than 2 minutes requires a subway surfers video in the background.
I think it depends on what you find excitable. I think everything about RDR2 was heat except the gameplay whch held my hand too much and repetitive and the money aspect didn’t match with the story.
Fr you could have left for Tahiti by like the 3rd or 4th hideout.
