No, cause i never owned ps3.

Popular opinion is retarded, news at 11

I like the horses and the guns and the story. Are you sure you aren't just suffering from chronic shit taste?

>>13786763

yes, I have played this utter pile of shit. my experience was the same as yours -

terrible controls and a wonderfully soporific story that I often just skipped because it was so overly melodramatic. it was well into R*'s post-SA slump of churning out godawful 'muh realism' games, so I can't say I'm surprised

>I cannot for the life of me comprehend why this game is liked outside of its setting.

Same. I did enjoy some of writing though but it ruined it for me you play as his pussy ass looking son when you finish the game.

>>13786763

>, it's literally just pointing and clicking with an analog stick,

That why I played RDR through chronusmax by mouse or gyro. And the standalone addon is complete bugged if you update it.

what the fuck is with all the Rockstar Games Shills today?

>>13787389

>i called you reddit, so i'm automatically right XDDDDD

sage negated, you faggot

Same reason GTA is liked

NO COMPETITION

>>13787504

>you dislike something i like therefor you are reddit

What.

>>13786763

It's repetitive. it's liked for its story which is good. Should've been a movie rather than a video game

>>13789260

Actually I take that back. The story as a whole about a man's family being held hostage by the government to hunt down his old gang members is a great idea. Red Dead Redemption falls apart in the specifics. The story has potential and needs lots of work

>>13789252

never said I like the thing, but the op of this is utter garbage. He doesnt have to enjoy it but if he honestly doesnt see why so many people like it and where it strenghts are he is just being a faggot with shit taste.

>if you don't like it then just leave it alone

<where its strengths are

>preferring story over gameplay

<faggot with shit taste

<never said I like the thing

Nah it sounds a lot like you're defending this pile of shit you double nigger.

>>13786763

>Have you played this game

Yeah

>why is this game liked outside of its setting

Well some of the bandit hideouts are fun to complete, but that's only in multiplayer mode where each camp has like four times the amount of enemies who can swarm you from every direction and who seem to deal more damage. Fortunately, you can just skip the single player all together and go into a local LAN private lobby and complete all the bandit hideouts yourself. To be clear, I am not suggesting that the mechanics are deep or engaging, just that it can be fun to kill some of the enemies. However, the appeal of this quickly vanishes as it becomes apparent just how repetitive it is, and what you're left with is another empty, albeit beautiful, open world with collect-a-thon objectives and some side-missions that do a decent job of creating some atmosphere.

>I played on hard with no auto-aim and the game is piss easy

Yeah, well it's your basic third person cover-based shooter with bullet time and-shoot-at-whack-a-mole-esque enemy patterns, what'd you expect?

>it shocks me that the gunplay is so bad when it's something I hear most people praise

Yeah, well, it's pretty shit in the sense that the guns are not realistic, but then again the game is more of an arcade styled shooter, it wasn't meant to be a simulator. Whoever you talked to misled you if you expected this game to feature an in-depth and extensive firearm combat subsystem.

>The horse controls are shit

Eh, they're not that bad, though I guess it can be annoying to force your horse to gallop by constantly tapping the X/A button over and over again. It's not like you're really expected to do anything else while on horseback

Anyway, yeah, it's a pretty par-for-the-course AAA third person shooter. The gameplay is merely a vehicle that facilitates the setting, story and atmosphere. This is yet another 'cinematic' game that wants to be deep and mature and artsy and all that bullshit. The game manages to deliver on this front to some extent, so I have to ask again, "What the fuck were you expecting?"

>>13789226

fugg, meant for >>13787504

>>13787428

So, like 2% of the game ruined 98% of the game for you?

>>13789302

Please elaborate on these strengths you speak of, because the gameplay is complete dogshit. See >>13789363

>>13786763

Cry more faggot. If you don't like it then don't fucking play it you miserable contrarian cunt.

>All these (1) posters.

>look at this popular game, /v/

>I fucking hate it!

>pls upboat

Later in CY+3…

>hey /v/ have you played this popular game RDR2?

>I fucking hate it, not like the classic Red Dead Redemption with its innovative shooting

>pls upboat

Cry more faggot. If you don't like this thread then don't fucking post in it you miserable mongoloid child.

>>13786763

It's got a bit of a learning curve to it. I put it down the day I bought it and didn't come back to it for over a year. Once I got going, however, I enjoyed it immensely. I still have to finish the final chapter, then I can allow myself to finally start playing Undead Nightmare.

>>13789244

>Same reason GTA is liked

>NO COMPETITION

I'll take Saint's Row over GTA any day of the week. It's more fun, and funnier, too, with customization of your character. Plus SR4 proved that there is no longer any excuse for not making a decent sandbox superhero game.

>>13789717

Did you read the OP, dipshit? I'm not playing it. God forbid someone criticize your shitfest on an imageboard designed for discussion of video games. Pretty sure you're the same guy as before with a VPN though, considering your habit of using the word contrarian for when someone criticizes a shitty video game.

>>13790283

>implying what he said doesn't also apply to SR2

Shame though, because SR2 also has shitty gameplay. Shooting and driving both feel terrible.

If it had a PC port you would be singing nothing but praises for it.

>>13786763

Yeah the setting was what made it, they did a solid job on that aspect of it.

>>13786763

Put in nearly 50 hours of liars dice and card games, never got past the first town.

It's been a while since i played it but i remember liking the way the enemies react to being shot

*OP is a faggot*

It wasn't a bad game, just a mediocre one in a landscape of awful games, at least for PS3 owners.

The characters and plot failed to be interesting to the point where I lost interest in the game not long after entering Mexico.

The gunplay was typical third person shooter through and through, enough to keep things going I guess, but not really achieving anything of note.

The multiplayer was basically a goofing off sandbox much like GTA4 just without the racing to keep me entertained, even with friends my interest died quickly.

I never much liked the idea of the setting of the wild west, the only time I've ever enjoyed that scenario was watching django unchained. So maybe that has something to do with it, but the game just never tickled my fancy and made me quite relieved I bought it second hand on the cheap a few years after release.

>>13786763

Yep, ended up playing horseshoe and poker for 20 minutes until i realised it stunk and i was bored. The Zombie-expansion is better done.

This is some high quality reverse psychology shilling tbh
