Red Dead Redemption 2 - Reder and Deader

[x Tame Impala]

R* made a poor design choice by aiming for realism. Lots of game mechanics are too slow and deliberate.

I’ve not finished the game yet, I think I’m on Chapter 4 from what I remember. I do know the game really picks up in Chapter 2 so i recommend everyone plays it. The storylines and gameplay are linear but honestly most games are.

TW3 is a masterpiece but most of the missions are: go to area, Witcher sense, press A on all the red stuff, go fight baddies. What it has in common with RDR2 is that the narrative and world is so immersive and impressive you don’t really care about anything else.

They definitely did not make a bad choice going for realism. That’s not going to click for everyone but that doesn’t mean it’s a bad choice.

It’s one of the greatest games ever made and the sales show it sure clicked with a lot of people.

He's talking about the actual player movement being slow, which i agree. I've played the first 20 hours maybe four different times and I just can't get past it. Same thing with Witcher 3.

I still struggle with trying to use my other non pistol weapons and for most of the chapters l rlied on pistol and dead eye until it became untenable.

I think the realism is good, but agree a bit on the slowness.

I would've done a couple more replays if I didn't have to slog through the prologue in the snow for a few hours. I wish there was a way to bypass it and plop you into Horseshoe Overlook.

I know some people just keep a save starting in Chapter 2 and when they want to start a new game they just load from that one.
