Thread for RDR2 discussion.

Just started. It's amazing how good video games are.

Anyone else?

I also started this morning. The amount of attention to even the smallest details is incredible. Good story so far too

I've been wanting this game for years now lol. I have honestly forgot about it.

Just got my son a Nintendo Switch for his birthday, went to game stop & Target today, and didn't even look at PS4 games. :(

I have to wait until Christmas too. I have one child left that still believes in Santa Claus.

I got black ops 4 when it came out, and was debating trading it in for Red Dead soonish, but I heard there are alot of boring parts. Like a lot of forced walking and talking, and forced riding on horses slowly, and unnecessary things like that. Making the game too slow. Anyone have that as an issue? I loved the first one but if the story of this is 65 hours, and like 15 of it is walking and talking, idk about all that.

There have definitely been some slow (borderline boring) parts but I appreciate the building of the story.

Also, the rest of the game more than makes up for the slow parts.

Alright thats around what Ive been hearing. I like story building but if it gets out of control it can get real boring.

Also how important are things like eating, sleeping, dressing for weather, bathing, cutting your hair, supplying camp etc. to the actual story. Like is any of that required or help you out during gameplay? That could get old quick.

Either way I think im gonna get it. Gonna have to finish agame or two first to make room for it. I heard its an absolutely massive file.

I don't think any of that stuff really matters for the story itself. I'd say supplying and improving the camp is the only thing that is overly necessary and the rest helps keep stuff like stamina other stats up

Did you ever play the first one? It was the same with all the riding around and slow cut scenes. I enjoy it though, the story is more thab interesting enough to keep your attention through that stuff

Sound tactic, especially if it was an Ubisoft title. Those things (Ubisoft games) come in at 30 bucks like 3 weeks later. Rockstar games however never really seem to drop for some reason.

You do have to clean your horse to keep its health up... because they thought that would be fun for some reason.

No I didn't and I have no idea why I didn't. I am enjoying RDR2 enough that I may pick up the first one and play it when I'm done

It’s fantastic. I went ahead and bought it because I don’t recall GTA dropping for Black Friday/Cyber Monday like NBA/FIFA and others. It will be a few years before it drops
