AxlRoseCDII Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 My copy came to my house today, a day early. Too bad I have to work before I can play it :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxlRoseCDII Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Played the first hour. Revolutionary game. Best looking graphics I’ve ever seen in a video game hands down. Can’t wait to keep playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Username is same as here. It's all I'll be playing from here until eternity. Otherwise, I'll see y'all when GNR decides to give a half a fuck again. ✌️ I broke down and bought it today on the way home from running errands. It's almost done taking forever to install, then I'm all over it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downzy Posted October 29, 2018 Author Share Posted October 29, 2018 Took several hours to install last night; so long that by the time it was installed I had to get to bed. Hopefully get a chance to play it tonight. A nice feature of the new consoles (I assume PS4 can do this as well) is the ability to install one game while playing another. Been trying to get to 100 percent on Forza Horizon 2 (free game from Games with Gold a couple of months ago) before delving into RDR2.

RussTCB Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 I was away on vacation all week but I'm looking to get back into this later today. I barely played maybe an hour or two after install last week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 It's a bit of a slow burn at first, but once you're able to dig into it, and you really learn how to play the game (it's incredibly in-depth; Think... The Witcher, but in the Wild West, and even more in-depth than that), it's a gratifying experience. I hate how much fun I'm having by just hunting and fishing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxlRoseCDII Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 About 18% in. Brilliant video game-already cemented as one of my all time favorites. Can’t say enough good about this game- except for having to pay off bounties. It’s realistic but takes away from some of the fun you can have roaming around the map. 9.75/10 though- that’s only a nitpick of mine.

downzy Posted November 2, 2018 Author Share Posted November 2, 2018 Bought it Sunday, installed Sunday night, still haven't played a minute. Just been too busy with work and I'm still kind of stuck on Forza Horizon 2 (it's new to me). Kind of want to see FH through before diving into RDR2.

Black Sabbath Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 My only real gripe is the inability to fast travel with ease. Yes, it’s kore realistic the way they have it set up, but still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxlRoseCDII Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Sitting pretty at 25%. Focusing solely on story missions at the moment and saving the Strangers and Freaks, Hunting, Crafting, towards the end of the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninjapie24 Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 It is the best story of anything I’ve seen since Daredevil (Netflix show) and Logan. Simply incredible. Most of the characters are fully realized and feel like real people. I went into the game thinking “I’m gonna be bad and kill every mother fucker I come across”. I just couldn’t go through with it. Arthur is an amazing protagonist. I was debating to pre order the game the night before it came out, and I’m glad I went with that choice. For those of you who want to know, there are 6 chapters and 2 epilogue chapters. The worst part of the game is riding alone to destinations. In chapter 6 alone I would put it in cinematic view and hold a so it would follow the wavepoint to my destination and during that time I would watch part of Django Unchained(I was in a cowboy mood). I went through 2 hours of Django. I heard that if you upgrade some stuff in the camp you can do fast travel, so I would recommend that. I also love the music (I’m obviously a rock fan but the country and classical music fit perfectly) it goes so well with the places it is put. This is my favorite game that I have played so far, just because of the story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoundOfAGun Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Finally hit chapter 3 after about 30 hours of fucking around in New Hanover. I love existing in this game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I became less and less of a fan of the game as I played through these additional missions, challenges, etc. The game just regularly gets in your way of playing it and having fun. For example, while hunting, I got a wanted level for Animal Cruelty for accidentally walking over a turkey. What the fuck. Even besides that, there's just a handful of annoying little issues and flaws and questionable decisions. That's so cool to read, but I'm sure its frustrating in game. I've heard similar comments about the game elsewhere: that its level of detail and immersion is very impressive, but people wonder if taking away gaming accessibility/ease of use is worth it. I'm still eager to play when a PC version comes out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxlRoseCDII Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 I love the game (still only 33% due to business) but riding the horses everywhere gets repetitive. I wish there was a fast travel mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the developer wants to go for realism, he merely has to re-create a living environment. that's not hard to do. there is inspiration everywhere. but to make something "fun", now that requires some bit of imagination (and time, and money) when they release red dead redemption 2 - the arcade edition, I'll be the first in line to buy it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if I agree that natural worlds are easier to develop. I think it depends how deep the developer intends to go with the realism and mechanics. In the case of RDR2, I'd bet it was incredibly difficult to develop such an in depth realistic world. It's perhaps not creative in the same way Bethesda is when they show us a new section of Tamriel or the Wasteland or the new AC with it's very casual accessibility, but it still requires quite a bit of thought and work (and A LOT of time and money).

ZoSoRose Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 The more I play, the more I continue to be impressed. The attention to detail they put into the world is astonishing. This game is what I always "imagined" when I envisioned a game truly nailing the feel of a "living" world. I like just ridging around on the horse and making my own adventures as much as I like following the story. I agree that it isn't perfect, the witness and wanted system is annoying and should be toned down, the controls are antiquated and clunky at times, and I think a few more random major side missions a-la-Witcher 3 would have been cool, but it almost doesn't matter. This game is about all the little things and details they put in the game, and it is amazing. I appreciate it, and it makes me enjoy it more. The writing and story and combat are all great, too. This and Witcher 3 are the games of this generation for sure 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxlRoseCDII Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Finally beat the game. One of the best games I’ve ever experienced. Fantastic story, touching as well. This type of game only comes out once a decade and should be treasured. Jesus this game was fucking amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downzy Posted December 18, 2018 Author Share Posted December 18, 2018 Half an hour to explain your problems with a game? Okay... I finally was able to play a bit this week. I'm blown away by the visuals; Rockstar has created an insanely spectacular game world. The controls are kind of tricky, especially with respect to accessing your personal items, but that will likely be overcome with more time playing. I'm only 10 percent in and haven't explored much of the world yet. Looking to have more time over the holidays to really dig in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
