>Look mom, I searched on google what the most popular western movies were that I've never watched and never will so I can pretend to have more sophisticated tastes than I really do on an anonymous imageboard

Rango is a better western than RDR2.

>>15703095

Just because you had to search to know what the OP is talking about doesn't mean everyone else had to.

>vidya story is shit compared to books and movies

No shit sherlock, if you want quality stories stick to books.

Why does /v/ keep filling with people that think vidya is about story? The only thing that vidya does that no other media does better is be interactive / gameplay and if you are into media this is a very simple thing to understand, if you are into vidya it should be the main thing you care about.

no idea about the game, I'm not buying a console for the 2-3 games that interest me

>giving Rockstar money

>or even attention

>>15703159

It's called structuring your sentences, go back to school mong.

Story fell flat with chapter 5. It only barely recovers, in my opinion after that. Then it switches gears with the house building and ranching. The final battle was fun as fuck but I didn't like the ending.

The game was fun though overall, plenty to do and take in, especially if you take it at a slow pace. I really hope the online isn't swamped with children and mongoloids. Atleast not to the extent it ruins it.

>>15703143

He said it's a failure as a game. What are you fucking blind or just trying to fit in?

>>15703245

Or maybe he's a retard who is just aping what he hears other anons say, but wants to sound smarter, and used a bunch of movie names. That or he just wants a Red Dead Redemption 2 thread but is, again, aping how other anons hate it, so he can remain clean of the sin of mildly enjoying it.

Huh almost like trying to be a movie in a game format will never make you as great as the works of the past that were in a completely different medium.

Tried playing the game on multiple occasions but I always got bored in an hour or two. The longest slog was probably the 2,5-3 hour tutorial on rails. Even after the tutorial missions seemed to be about following some dude for a set period of time while they talk or chasing some guy while "Super Awesome Scripted Stuff™" happens during the chase. Others were just fetch quests or super enlongated "interactive" cutscenes.

Funny how some of the most iconic cowboy stuff comes from movies made by Italians and shoot in Mexico

Those are movies though…

>>15703329

Unforgiven isn't sophisticated or boring though, It's your typical revenge/redemption plot only in reverse.

If anyone's interested, I can storytime some old Western (genre) comics that handled injuns much better than RDR2's cuckoldry. I don't want to totally derail the thread, so I'll give you the chance to tell me to fuck off. That, and I'm still downloading the .cbrs and it'll be about half an hour before I can actually start.

>>15703269

>>15703245

I compared it to classic westerns because it's obviously a game hugely inspired by them. And as a game that attempts to adapt the whole mythos surrounding cowboys and westerns it does a shit fucking job of it in every regard. Music, gameplay, story, characters, it's all lacking.

>>15703458

So, why did you start this thread again?

Unforgiven is the Spec Op: The Line of westerns. It's one big - "Shame on you for enjoying this genre, shitlord!"

>>15703487

Why are you so mad?

>>15703496

he gave it 3/5 and said he can easily recommend it, I just finished watching the video

>>15703515

3/5 is about right. I don't know why dunkey is always on the money. He seems so retarded yet he isn't.

First game was boring as fuck anyway. Second game is that with added tedium.

>>15703521

That's why he said "even Dunky"

I dunno man, IV was very different to V in a ton of ways. Yes they're both sandbox games, but in terms of how you handle a gun, how you drive, how you interact with the world, how you do missions in general, etc. They are sandbox games in the same series, but it'd be inaccurate to say that GTAIV has the same gunplay as Max Payne 3.

>Spaghettiwestern are better than jewish westerns

Why, yes.

>>15703483

Probably because there was no mention of Arthur in the first one. Also to add in their poz missions of killing the Klan (which didn't have their revival until Birth of a Nation) and helping a sufferagette. Prequels are the easy way out for franchises that are afraid to go foward in the story.

Also, that wanted system is shit. You could accidentally bump into someone and you'd get a bounty for assault. I may not be an expert on wild west laws but in an era where have gun duels for eyeing someone wrong, or hangings, I don't think the concept of reporting assault to the cops was common place or at all. You would mostly take the law into your own hands.

You get bounty hunters coming after you the worst times like when your heading toward a mission, you have to take of them, and can't do the mission because they interrupted the area and you have to leave and go back to reset the mission again. The best way to get around this is to just have a stack of money with you so you can pay the bounty off when you get to town so they can leave you alone. Doesn't make the game any less boring. Dead eye and auto aim make the game easy with the few bits of interaction you get in the cinematic experience of a western that makes me want to watch True Grit instead.

RDR2 only has male horses.

>>15703060 (OP)

>doesn't hold a candle to any of the classic westerns

Neither do most westerns

Yet nobody is retarded enough to hold everything to such colossally high standard, even in other movies, and here you come to do that with videogames. Calling you king of the retards is a dishonor to your magnificence.

>>15703628

Arthur gets infected with tuberculosis when shaking down a farmer for a jew and dies at the end, then you play as marston.

>>15703641

Those are spaghetti westerns, you dunce. A classic western, is most every John Wayne cowboy flick. You don't even know what you're talking about. And even so, the game's story is an anti-western. It takes place at the tail end of the west. It's suppose to be both a satire and a commentary on the 'Wild West' genre, as well as the time period. Typical Rockstar stuff, really.

AND EVEN SO, it still gets the feel of spaghetti westerns when it wants to. So, I suggest you play the fucking game, and also actually watch westerns and their sub genre films.

>>15703648

Clearly the Jew stole his soul.

>>15703573

When exactly do you fight the Klan? You see the Klan twice, once while they prep the cross, and once while they burn it. You 'assist' the women for two minutes by driving them into town and then riding off with the beta that wanted you to protect them. Atleast be honest with what is in the game.

>>15703213

>It's a failure of a game, it's a failure of a homage and it's a failure of art. Fuck RDRII, dogshit piece of shit chore of a game.

>Then why are you shilling it?

Can someone explain the train of thought here? Since when calling game shit is shill?

>>15703573

It seems like they tried to make a somewhat sophisticated witness system where you could actually make it seem like you were not the perp even if you were in reality, but it's a tremendous double-edged sword. Best example is that I was in Saint Denis and two little kids were making fun of Arthur so I antagonized them and followed them. They led me into an alley where four guys with guns stuck me up and I shot them. Cue a ten minute police shootout and chase where I racked up a 360 dollar bounty. I don't think they worked on those systems enough.

>>15703727

>Satire

That was the first game. This game plays its message straight.

>>15703727

The Klan is still in the game and you'd have to be delusional to defend it as it is a massive historical innacuracy. I thought there wouldn't be much poz because there wasn't in the first game but there are way too many minorities that don't make sense (Lemoyne is supposed to be the hick racist county but a nigger bartends the nicest saloon in the whole county) and way too many fucking sob stories.

we have already enough threads about this shitty cuckold game

>>15703747

>plays its message straight

>lel Romeo and Juliet while we make fun of Southerners and call them all cousin fuckers

>lel feminism but plz protect us big rugged manly man

>the entire debt collecting mission chain is the only not-cringey satire but it's still heavy handed as fuck

You must be a child, not only is the satire in this game omnipresent but it is blatant. It's like a slap in the face every time I start to enjoy the game. The only historical/political related mission I've played so far that wasn't clumsy as fuck was the Compson one where you find out he was a slave trader that slowly became a deadbeat bum after he lost his entire business due to the Civil War.

>>15703078

>>15703767

That's not satire that's being preachy. The racist guys from the first game being so over the top its funny is satire because it allows the viewer to come to that conclusion. You could even like him for his quirks. The things you listed are the writer blatantly telling viewer what right and wrong are. That's what playing it straight means.

I still find it fun.

I just want GUN remastered. I miss my dynamite arrows.

>>15703213

Could that be a rip-off of an 80s Brazilian porn comedy?

>>15703790

It's just bad satire. Rockstar literally always puts satire in their games, you're just giving them a pass because you're a fag. There isn't any reason to believe they wouldn't do the same thing for this game.

>>15703754

They're shown as bumbling idiots in the woods of Cumberland. Twice. That's it. Believe it or not, the Klan is always made fun of in these types of things. Why would you expect anything else? This is a mainstream game, that is slightly edgy /sometimes/. It isn't here to talk about the Klan in good light.

Lemoyne is suppose to be a mix of most southern states, with Saint Denis being their New Orleans. It's pretty much the only place where you can consistantly find blacks, orientals and south americans. It's civilization. That's the end game of the government (IE, the Bad Guys you spend the whole game running from or gunning down.) You have the fanciest bar in town, full of white people, and a black bartender. Which they likely intended to symbolized a continued oppression over blacks, or something.

And surprise surprise Dutch who has a grudge against Southerners, is a massive piece of shit towards them and treats them like dirt. It's almost like it was trying to draw attention to his "we don't go after revenge" hypocrisy and spiral downwards. He fucks with them because his father died in the war, and because he fucks with them so much, they try to kill the gang. This is what he uses to justify further violence. Read between the lines a bit.

>>15703806

Satire requires wit, irony and sarcasm. This game has little because it plays its message straight.

The only drawing point is the balls on all the horses.

>>15703773

It's a fucking video game though. I care more about the gameplay and art design than I do a singular pair of tits. If it really botherd me (which I doubt), I would just ignore it since it's not like the character isn't at odds with the art design otherwise.

>>15703985

I'd argue they've been pussies sine GTA4 when any time you'd rob, cheat, beat up, or kill some one in the stories of those games it's some absolute caricature who fucked over the main characters.

>>15703961

>punish you for being an outlaw

Wow are you telling me there are consequences for being a criminal? Who would have thought it huh?

>promote being an absolute boy scout

That's what Dutch taught them, they thought themselves to be Robin Hood and his band of merry men. Arthur in particular pretty much grew up around this weird sort of hypocritical morals after his own dad died. Which is why at times you see characters struggling within themselves about what they've done. More than a few in the group are alcoholics because of the guilt they bear.

>Rockstar makes games about criminals without actually having the balls to make them be bad guys

They are the bad guys though, like it or not. Arthur realizes this after he caught TB and he starts to reflect on everything bad he ever did and tries to make up for it in the little time he had left. This story was told from the perspective of the "bad guys." Fuck man, a whole town of innocent people defending themselves was murdered because some bigger got his guns stolen after he was jailed. If that isn't "being a bad guy" I dont know what is.

>They're shown as bumbling idiots in the woods of Cumberland

Did you even read my post? No of course you didn't. The problem is that the Klan is in the game at all. It shows that despite all their fancy political commentary, Rockstar still can't be bothered to be consistent with basic historical fucking facts if they think it wins them brownie points.

>Saint Denis is New Orleans

>I know shit all about historical culture

>Integrationists live literally next door to plantations

New Orleans had a mixed population but it was not integrated. Ever heard of this thing called segregation? The heyday of jazz is still several decades in the future and integrationist big bands, while ahead of their time, don't even exist yet, let alone integrationist anything else that doesn't acknowledge the talent of black or creole musicians. I am from Louisiana and I took courses in jazz history. You are ignorant. This game exhibits blatant tokenism for brownie points at the cost of historical fact. Such a portrayal can generously be called satire or alternative history, if it had some form of wit or point.

Its only fun if you don't pay attention to the cucked story. Honestly who cares about some communist hippy commune, I'm glad that John is tasked with hunting them all down in the first one.

They're literally stuffed away and into the backwoods as an easter egg-esque encounter. I find it a bit odd that you assume that in this fictional retelling of America, you assume that- while there is still an active neo-confederate raider group- there cannot also be a small portion of Klan members in another area whose existant is not reliant on our own history, but that of their own in-game universe.

On note of the bartender, again, it was likely to say something about race, with it being an all-white bar, but staffed with a black bartender who likely, like most black-staffed establishments, aren't actually allowed to make use of the facility as customers.

What the fuck does jazz have to do with the employment of a black bartender in an all-white bar? What does segregation have to do with the employment of a black bartender at an all-white bar?

>John leaves Abigail behind with their child

Arthur gives him shit because he thinks him to be an ingrate and a fag who left his family behind. Once he realizes the kind of manipulative person Dutch is, he sees exactly why John might have run away and then tries to find a way out for him and his family.

Dutch losing his mind was handled pretty well, at the start, he seemed to care, was able to give a speech to his crew, and sounded sincere, though there was a hint of him being very slightly off kilter, which got worse as the game went on.

Plotwise, the story was the opposite of GTA5, where literally every plan Dutch made, went fucking sideways and caused more harm.

>>15704231

Go away, reddit.

>>15704246

That post was removed, but I stated that Dunkey's statement wasn't less relevant because he believes that Pyra's titties are just a tad too big and take away from the rest of the world game.

You don't see anyone praising the environment of Xeno, which is actually quite nice, you see fags salivating over gigantic titties and completely skipping over the fact that the VA, facial animation, and overall gameplay leaves a lot to be desired.

I'll just BTFO cause the only thing keeping this thread alive is people responding to me.

>>15704267

If you weren't a complete newfag who just blew in from leddit, you'd know that there's almost always (and is right now, indeed) a Xenoblade General thread up, with anons talking about many, many aspects of the games beyond the tits.

The fact that you say "no one discusses anything about it besides the tits" is a blatant, nigger-tier lie.

>Featuring a sweeping open world, incredible immersive gameplay

I really wish the immersion fags would all die off already. Wow, you have to press a button to watch an animation of a gun getting cleaned, it's like you're really there! It's so fucking stupid. This shit doesn't even serve the gameplay in an interesting way, like having to swing heavier weapons slower or other "realistic" things in games, it's just extra shit to keep track of for the sake of it. Also, (((early review copies)))

>>15704824

My favorite "realism" mechanic is weapons breaking, is that a metal crowbar? it only lasts 10 swings before breaking.

>>15704858

I don't hate weapon breaking mechanics on principle but they're rarely implemented right, having a means to maintain your weapons could make for a really nice "downtime" mechanic when your in safe zones or preparing to go to another area kinda thing

it's also worth noting, he spent like 4+ months getting tortured, shot, and spending the majority of his time (even prior to the island) in a swamp.

Which would make the symptoms even worse. Hypothetically if the camp was still somewhere out west, he could have gone upwards to a year before showing signs.

>>15704876

An iron crowbar breaking?

>>15704824

>>15704858

Realism for the sake of realism is stupid and annoying, but that doesn't mean there isn't a place for actual "realism" in videogames.

The entire point of including realistic mechanics is so that you can expand the gameplay using common knowledge. That way, you can introduce many new mechanics to the game that feel intuitive because they work how you'd expect them to work IRL.

The common examples of "realism" are simple things like fire melting ice, electricity being conducted by water, etc. It's incredibly basic stuff but when you have the power to use electricity and you see a puddle of water, the game doesn't even have to tell you what you can do with it.

There's another kind of realism however that's very niche. The idea of pressing a button to clean a gun is something that appeals to gun nuts that love to see their favorite raifu with all the details it has IRL. It's like showing a representation of a city to a bunch of people, who won't care much about the detail it has, except for the few that are residents there, who will notice and care.

It's pandering to the fanatics and it's okay as long as it doesn't detract from the gameplay.

Other than this, realism is often just 10x damage for you and enemies because to most underage faggots, realism is short-hand for low TTK.

>>15705105

The point of a crowbar breaking is so it actually breaks. If it was to last as much as you'd expect one to, you could easily finish whatever game that features it several times before it's even dented, at which point why make it break in the first place?

It's essentially the same reasoning that shotguns are short range guns. It sounds like a contradiction but it's so they have their specific niche where they perform better than other weapons while not overshadowing other weapons in their respective niche too.

Realism only goes so far as to introduce the expected behaviour and logic behind something, but not the actual physical qualities or quantities you'd see IRL.

>>15705253

>If it was to last as much as you'd expect one to, you could easily finish whatever game that features it several times before it's even dented, at which point why make it break in the first place?

Give it a drawback, like slower attack speed, weight, reach, etc.

>>15704267

You're a faggot for starting this shit in the wrong thread, and because of that you justify mods deleting your posts, despite that also being scummy behaviour.

Regardless, there is no single reason why characters in Xenoblades should have any sort of realistic proportions or be more grounded in any way, shape or form.

The king of art in that kind of videogames always goes for an exagerated look in many different ways, be it from making caricatures of some characters or just showing impossibly idealized forms of another. Couple that with the obligatory presence of japanese tropes and what you get is the average japanese game.

Pyra in particular is supposed to be a representation of "Yamato Nadeshiko", the perfect wife. Why do you think one of her special characteristics is cooking?

Obviously she will be quite well endowed, as well as showing many different character traits to reinforce that specific trope, but in the end that's what she is: an idealized women.

She "takes away from the rest of the world game" as much as roman statues take away from ancient greece.

Besides, you're gonna tell me that a pair of tits is enough to take away from Titans, Blades&Drivers, Nopons, the biblical references, etc? Before you accuse anyone of "salivating over gigantic titties", please think about how easily distracted you apparently are.

It's not "bad designed" characters because the metric by which you are evaluating them does not make sense. Their entire point is to be eye candy for the player and they more than succeed at that, so they are perfectly designed for that, not to look realistic or even to be taken seriously, or whatever measure you're using to establish what's good and what's not.

It's to the point that it's a bigger issue how several characters are drawn by entirely different artists and thus end up clashing with each other's style than how each one of them is individually drawn.

>skipping over the fact that the VA

Now you're memeing extra hard. Everyone makes fun of the english dialogue and how exagerated or comical it is. Nia's got the name Welsh Cat for a reason.

>facial animation

It's a japanese RPG, he standards aren't exactly set very high. Facial animation is only required to pass on whatever emotion an actor is supposed to convey at a specific part of a dialogue, it's really just a few steps above a visual novel. The repeated and exagerated animations might seem lazyness, but the point is that they are easily recognizable, especially if you've seen them before in another context by passing the same emotion.

The facial animation is functional, not pretty.

>and overall gameplay

If you're talking about balance and how, once again, healers are utter shit, that's mentioned quite often. Not as much anymore since discussion about the gameplay has already died down, obviously.

If you're talking about the blade farming, it's still called gacha shit in the threads.

If you're talking about the combat in general, it really ain't that bad and it does what JRPGs are supposed to do anyway: give you a very pretty spectacle to enjoy with some autistic gameplay behind it for actual chalenges.

>>15705276

Like I said, at that point the entire idea of weapon durability might as well be scratched off since you're already balancing it with different variables. It either breaks in a meaningfull time frame or there's no point in having durability.

Although, an obvious compromise is not having things desintegrating or actually breaking if it doesn't make any sense. A crowbar would simply bend and be unusable, but it would still exist, so it could be melted or repaired, obviously.

>>15705598

Have you never watched a spaghetti westerns? They're more fun, stylish, and faster paced than RDR2, which is ironic.

>>15704271

THIS

Rockstar ruins the tone and atmosphere of the original games we love with each sequel they make. It's a bad thing. Max Payne 3 was nothing like the neo noir styled Max Payne 1, GTA V was nowhere as atmospheric as GTA 4 and not as fun and upbeat as Vice City either, and Red Dead Redemption series feels much more generic than Red Dead Revolver.

Well, that sounds quite decent. Guess i'll give it a run one of these days. Thank you.

Red Dead 2 is just Way of the Samurai 4.

It's huge. It's pointless. It's watered down, yet for some reason is more popular than the better games because they're available on multiple platforms and doesn't compare to the previous games.

>>15705880

Yeah, the gunplay and movement controls are somehow more sluggish and less snappy than the rest of Red Dead games despite using an improved engine.

>>15705291

Legit question: If i didn't quite enjoyed Xenoblade Chronicles, and im still on the fence about XCX (to be fair i've been playing it on CEMU, not the best performance because AMD) would i enjoy Xenoblade 2? The MMO-like gameplay has always felt odd to me in a singleplayer game.

>>15703095

>>15703060 (OP)

As long as Dan Houser remains the main writer of Rockstar we will never get good games from them.

That faggot suffers a midlife crisis and he is determined to make this clear in the games. I am so sick and tired of this shit.

It feels like a waste really. Rockstar coders spent day and night creating such a lush and vibrant environment, just to get ruined by a mediocre story and unsympathetic characters like in GTA V.

>>15705840

>best Lee Van Cleef film

>not Sabata

Sergio Leone was a tryhard kinographer wannabe who ripped of kurosawa's cinematography and editing style (although Fistful of Dollars is better than Yojimbo, I admit that).

>>15706008

>being this hard

Next, you're gonna tell us Tarkovsky was a hack

>>15706017

Tarkovsky didn't rip off anyone and his dialogue has weight, he didn't make movies about ronin vs bandits. Corbucci wins against Leone, his style is really original and while still dramatic, it's not ridiculously melodramatic like Leone's films post Fistful of Dollars.

>>15703727

>A classic western, is most every John Wayne cowboy flick

This, especially the ones directed by John Ford. The Searchers is one of the best movies I've ever seen.

There is no such thing as bad publicity. You're deliberately keeping the product in rotation for everyone to notice, which is called advertising…doesn't matter what you wrote about it.

>>15703799

I still want to try it I figure it'd be worth $20.

>>15705904

>If i didn't quite enjoyed Xenoblade Chronicles

>would i enjoy Xenoblade 2?

Probably no. I did not played the first one and I've tried to emulate XCX (but same issues with performance)

The combat in XC2 isn't so much of an MMO with a skillbar to rotate since you only get 4 skills, but you rotate 3 Blades around, each having 4 skills, plus your auto-attack. It's mostly centered around timing and planning a sequence of attacks to maximize damage, but it's not an incredibly action packed game.

It's also missing anything resembling the Skells from XCX, so if you were getting into Xenoblade for the mechs, it's a disapointment. Happened to me.

Depends on what you didn't liked about the first game. If it was the simplistic gameplay and the spamming of skills, 2 might make it up for you since it's the combination and timing of skills, instead.

But if it was because you don't like JRPGs in general, then most likely no.

And of course кино is filtered

>>15705787

Spaghetti Western films are literally shonen anime. I have no doubt that the shonen genre itself was copied from spaghetti western style of writing.

>>15709458

Leone is unironically the most anime western director, and The Good The Bad and the Ugly is the most anime of all the films he made. Leone has always been style over substance, looks and sounds over story. Just a bunch of bandito stories wrapped in dramatic orchestra and over the top cinematography. The "graveyard of slaughtered and unburied mexicans" scene in Requiescant (1967) has more weight than the ecstasy of gold.

If people only cared about interactivity and gameplay they wouldn't be playing choose your own adventure games, party games, or games like Red Dead Redemption(let's face it rockstar doesn't make challenging games these enemies are obviously all dipshits who either charge headfirst at you or hide behind cover waiting to die the last time I remember encountering tough enemies in a rockstar game was gta3's fbi agents)

how well did this trash sell anyway? It's garbage.

>>15712697

it's not even about defending the KKK m8. it's because they only put those dumb fucks in there because they are trying to reinforce the association between them and everyone among the audience who aren't explicitly SJWs or their pet minorities through projection. it is as if they are saying "this is 2018 you retard, and if you aren't a good goy yet i'll keep reminding you to take the bluepill by mocking these faggots who obviously represent you since they hated niggers too!" which was retarded since a lot of the initial KKK members were black people who were already worried about nigger crime rates even back then, at least before they were eventually taken over by southern democrats and turned into an unironic bunch of LARPers. at the same time doing this shit also gets them brownie points with the tumblrkind.

I would betray that shitty gang too who think they are anything better than murdering, thieving scum

>>15713382

I don't understand why you retards bought this trash in the first place. The very first trailer showed black cowboys. That is an immediate sign to drop it. Use your head next time.

>>15713382

The more I hear about this game the more pathetic it gets. I just want to go back to Red Dead Revolver where it had a classic western atmosphere and good revenge story.

But nope we have to play pozzed cowboys might as well have the option to be gay in the game with a black.

>>15715377

>The very first trailer showed black cowboys

If the game had black cowboys and the anti-rayciss commentary was reduced to one or two times, it would be fine. I didn't think they would hammer you in the head with that every 5 minutes.

>>15712036

Did you play the game, or did you play Wolfenstein? I don't understand your English there. But, besides that, your examples are skewed and generally show a lack of comprehension for the plot, the setting, and the characters within them. Maybe engage with the game more than just following the quest markers, and shoot everything, as you did with the slave-catcher, not slave owner, that you seem to also have sympathy for. I find it a bit odd you can follow up to complaining about the downtrodden man, by shooting him.

It's not about this character, it's about the game constantly bringing up muh racial issues and blaming the evil whitey.

And it's PATHETIC that you shoot a man who lost everything in the head and gain karma from it.

Where are the constant racial issues being brought up outside of the NOTHERN black doctor who has his wagon stolen, and holier-than-thou Dutch's comments on Indians? You are projecting most of these racial issues yourself, by not rationalizing the scenarios to be within the game. Why are they stealing guns from 'Southerners'? Because those 'Southerners' are a guerrilla force that now dabbles in crime, and have access to high quality rifles through weapons trading. You take the guns to sell in contribution to the gang's bottomline- muh money for Tahiti.

Why is an Indian talking about animals and respect for them? Because that's what they do in most every portrayal of Indians as 'Noble savages', which is how they're being portrayed in this game, but even this is challenged when Dutch starts shit with Bill who bore witness to how it really was fighting them, outside of Dutch's fantasy land of evil whitey. And even so, do you have something against that outlook on nature? What exactly is your issue with the photographer commenting on the decline of wildlife in those areas, and Charles talking about respecting animals?

Why are you expecting the hypocritical pieces of shit that are the Van Der Linde gang, to be anything but hateful towards Southerners? Perhaps you missed the part about Dutch being a bitch who holds grudges, and referring to himself as a carpetbagger? His father died in the war, and now he's fucking with Rhodes as revenge. As it were, it seems like most of the gang is from the North as well, and take joy causing the issues they do, but mainly the core members. You seem to think you're playing the good guys, but you're wrong in that regard. You're playing a brainwashed stooge who contradicts himself all the time, because the foundation of who he is was built by a conman. Hence why after getting TB you commit your time to helping the Marstons escape that cult.

And the feminists. You literally do nothing to assist them outside drive them to town, then fuck off with that nu-male who begged you to drive them there. Would you have preferred they were not in the game at all, rather than as side characters in a single quest, and one of them be situated in the same city as the eugenics crier?

Sadie is a poorly developed character in my opinion, so I somewhat agree with you on her, but at her core she's just a somewhat typical frontier woman who is now consumed with hate. Really didn't even bother to interact with her much until they started forcing her into the plot and seemed like they were making her a love interest to Arthur or something. Either or, it's one character. In my opinion, they should have beefed up Abigail's involvement with things, rather than toss in a new character that may as well have been a man.

TL;DR you're sperging over stupid things, the game isn't as awful as you're making it out to be. If you add context to every scenario you bring up, it justifies all of it with the exceptions of the KKK bashing and noble savage bullshit. Both of which are just hollywood trash tropes that fail to portray either group as anything more than literal children.

>>15715787

>TL;DR you're sperging over stupid things, the game isn't as awful as you're making it out to be.

one thing I do think needs to be sperged out on more is the vast amount of missions that are seemingly just following people and listening to them talk, the one indian guy mission people talk about is roughly 15~ minutes of following this guy on horseback and listening to dialogue, followed by finding two poachers and killing them without any hassle whatsoever, the indian automatically kills one of them and the other you enter the grapple thing to wail on him or kill him. There seem to be a lot of missions like that which is just developer fart huffing about muh dialogue

>>15704058

You mean after 15 years?

>>15715810

Honestly the amount of times I yelled at the screen because it was obviously a cutscene but they still forced me to press forward on the thumbstick pissed me the fuck off. It's not immersive, it's not fun and I'd rather be able to browse the internet while shit goes on in the background because the conversations are honestly not that engaging most of the time.

>>15715810

Yeah, that's why "MASSIVE OPEN WORLD" isn't a good thing in a cinematic story-driven game. Fuckers should have just concentrated their plot in a smaller map, then opened it up for multiplayer. Would have at least allowed for more initial exploration in the online, rather than everyone knowing the place like the back of their hands.

>>15715826

I agree strongly, it put me off the game more than rockstars politics because if i get the game used i can ignore that stuff and just go do cowboy shit but too many developers are hung up on in-game exposition in that manner. I just wanna play a damn game. Some one once pointed out that it's actually less cinematic to do these things rather than just use cutscenes because with a cutscene you can actually use cinematic techniques such as framing devices or better control of lighting and making sure no NPCs get stuck in a tree in the background kinda stuff. on top of that it makes for better replay value because you just skip the cutscenes and do the fun stuff.

>>15716039

OP complains about the lack of spaghetti western aesthetics and narrative in a franchise that's supposed to be italo western.

I'm honestly curious as to why this game is even worth talking about here.

It's post GTAV rockstar so it's neither the gameplay nor the writing.

It's an AAA open world so it's sure as shit not the open world.

So what makes this game worth discussing on this board? The fact that it's a shiny new release by rockstar and it's seemingly unlimited reserve of marketing funds? Or the fact that it's a western game, because if it's the latter I don't get why we don't have fucking daily threads on Call of Juarez or Desperados or GUN or the first RDR or even RDRevolver or a decent fucking game.

Seeing Dutch end up like this, especially after he saved John at the end made me wince a little bit, mainly because it doesn't slot so well with he start of RDR1, Dutch was just up and done, but When confronting Marston in 1, he's just straight up Crazy

>>15724015

>it doesn't slot so well with he start of RDR1

That's an understatement. It was clear in the previous game that John and Dutch hadn't seen each other since John left the gang, but they just had to shove in that forced reconciliation between them in this one.
