I said come in! posted:To be fair you can just hook your PC up to a TV now but the next wave of consoles coming out can play games at 4K resolution, making PC's not really relevant anymore. lol spooky like this! posted:As an example, to get the iconic scenes where music plays in Mexico and when John heads home they had to cobble together a system where the music was tied to the horse you got on. That's why if you get off the horse or don't ride the one they give you it stops/doesn't play. I just hope the online is less of a clusterfuck for the first year CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK fucked around with this message at 16:11 on Oct 19, 2016 |

I also hope they can get away from the tried and true Rockstar tradition of having you do a bunch of missions for a annoying piece of poo poo only for them to betray you down the line. With a diversity of characters, that leads to a diversity of scenarios.

Let's be serious for a minute. It's 2016, 2017 when the game comes out, women make up over 40% of gamers! And there are no playable female characters? What is Rockstar thinking? This is going to flop as hard as GTAV did.

Here's hoping it's an entirely new story with new characters. Why would people want to play as Marston again or a member of his gang? We already know that story and it would be incredibly boring. Rockstar has never made a direct sequel/prequel and I don't think they're about to start. Right now I'm interested in the setting. GTA always moves around and I hope that internet rumor (lol) I read earlier in the thread about Louisiana and east Texas isn't true because the world would be so boring and flat. RDR had a nice mix of geography and while I wouldn't blame Rockstar for wanting to mix things up, those monument valley-style rock formations are so classically tied to the Wild West that I'd like to see them return.

That 40% stat is loving hilarious because it lumps free to play in with $20 indies with AAA titles. Things can have subcategories! It's fine to say more women play visual novels and match-3 games, and men are buying the bulk of $60 stuff where you murder things. It's fine! Separate markets for separate products are fine! dangerdoom volvo posted:race realism What are you even on anymore?

They should just adapt it directly from Blood Meridian. That way everyone will finally be united in staring at it in slack jawed horror.

Unique characters, different setting, etc? I think the setting was pretty good. The characters I am pretty iffy about since half to most of them were awful. I mean it's kind of strange to have a open world game where most of the world is empty, but it kind of works for Red Dead Redemption. I also really liked the use of Euphoria. That being said, there was a lot of stuff that I was hoping would get a bit more use. For example, the wrecked paddleboat that you find later. bloodysabbath posted:That 40% stat is loving hilarious because it lumps free to play in with $20 indies with AAA titles.

Unique characters, different setting, etc? Open world setting, good storyline, and tons of side-games and quests to keep you from getting bored. The setting was amazing as well, and looked beautiful. The game itself is heavily inspired by western movies, and each section of the map reflected a different type of western movie (classic, spaghetti, revisionist). Plus John Marsden was a great protagonist, and you could choose if you wanted him to be noble or a bastard. Tl;dr: Herbert Moon!!!!

BexGu posted:So while every one is waiting for a trailer what made Red Dead Redemption so good? I missed it in on the PS3/Xbox but I know one of my friends absolutely loved it to death. Unique characters, different setting, etc? My main thing was fantastic gunplay - the guns all have top-notch feedback and sfx and enemies respond very satisfyingly to damage - but it also had a decent plethora of side activities that rose above usual "gather x things" fare like treasure and bounty hunts, and a main plotline that's widely seen as Rockstar's best by far. The cast consists of a lot of exaggerated stereotypes like usual, but since they're presented in the context of the frontier ages they're not as eye-rolling as what you see in GTA, and even then they're generally presented with more depth and humanity than in Rockstar's usual fare (one of your acquaintances in the game's first arc is a filthy, gibbering necrophile, and he's actually presented with some measure of sympathy on top of all the predictable black humor that you'd expect). The fact that it's not built around the relentless accumulation of wealth and status also means that it avoids the issue GTAIV and GTAV had, where victories are meant to seem pyrrhic but your main character keeps on truckin' right along with all their luxury cars and high-class apartments as the game feebly tries to tell you that it's all meant to feel hollow. John Marston is set up from the start as a former bad, disreputable man with a very clear goal in mind, so the usual open-world conceit of constantly doing odd jobs for assholes while getting no respect is a little easier to swallow because it highlights just how desperate Marston is to get his family back in a society that doesn't give two shits about anything but the next dollar. The general bleakness of frontier living also keeps Rockstar's grim tone from getting too farcical - because of course everyone's some kind of idiot or rear end in a top hat all scrabbling for some kind of meager wealth in the dust, it's the Wild West. Basically it was a lucky bit of coincidence as the game's unique context and setting helped mitigate Rockstar's worst flaws while emphasizing the best parts of their gameplay (shooting stuff and seeing pretty things). Eurogamer did a big writeup on RDR just the other day if you want to look it up, but it has huge spoilers for the game's ending.

It still falls into the classic Rockstar trap of having you work a bunch for assholes. The Mexico section is plagued with a lot of that kind of thing. "Hey, we will help you, but you have to do one more thing for us." *Proceeds to betray you* But Red Dead Redemption is probably one of the few games where even after I beat the game, I was still finding poo poo that I had never noticed before. For example, I don't think any missions ever take you into the Manteca Falls area, and if you use the games gps, there are large trails that you will never see. It was kind of cool to go back and look at that kind of stuff. I actually did 100 percent that game. I have no idea why I did it, but I did. I remember my most difficult hangup being some of the wanted guys being kind of bugged out. blackguy32 fucked around with this message at 19:37 on Oct 19, 2016 |

It does but I feel it fits with the tone of the game and just adds on to the whole theme of John trying to redeem himself but getting dragged back into all this bullshit by a bunch of corrupt assholes that think they're the good guys. In the GTAs its just lazy.

In this case, I don't think its about tone, its about the length. Some of that poo poo goes on for way too long. If it wasn't for Landon Rickets, everybody in the Mexico section would be an idiot, a traitor, or an rear end in a top hat.

Unique characters, different setting, etc? Just the overall vibe of the game and feeling of the world for me, i was so totally and completely immersed in that game. And the music was fantastic. The gameplay was so and so, i was never good at shooting or playing with a controller, but the horse never infuriated me unlike in Witcher 3 and MGSV. And the lasso was just soooo much fun. Also for some reason i would spend hours playing the poker minigame and pretending to get angry when i lost tearing up poo poo and flipping out. edit: it is for sure my number one game ive just dicked around in the most Dongattack fucked around with this message at 19:43 on Oct 19, 2016 |

"Hey, we will help you, but you have to do one more thing for us." *Proceeds to betray you* I think that's why Mexico dragged for me. The people you worked for felt like GTA caricatures. Up to that point and after it, the characters felt more nuanced or were endearingly silly that I didn't mind doing things for them. That said, I hope the single player story doesn't focus on Marston's old gang. I have absolutely no desire to see how things were with them. His story is done and sometimes less means more. Them being a presence in the world would be neat, though! And holy gently caress, is this thread toxic. Uses as many strawmen as Rockstar branded satire does!

How much does RDR say about Marston's old gang? It's been a while since I've played it. I remember chasing down the leader in the mountains in the third act, and it seemed like he was "the last one" or whatever, but can't remember any other details about who the others were or where they might be. (Are we using tags for RDR?) I could definitely see you riding with them for a little bit before breaking off. That way you get a taste of Marston & friends along with a story you don't already know the ending to.

Of course they are -- it fits the agenda to not properly delineate the categories.

Red Dead Redemption does that really cool thing where they talk about people throughout the whole game but they never show you who they are. It kind of reminded me of Apocalypse Now in that they talk about your family for the whole game, but you don't even glimpse them until near the end of the game. Edit: am I going crazy or didn't they release a kind of introductory movie for the game along side its release? Sort of similar to GTA San Andreas the introduction.

It was promoted as a short film directed by John Hillcoat (who, at the time, was riding high due to The Proposition being loving amazing), but in reality, it was just a bunch of first-act cutscenes stitched together leading up to the attack on Fort Mercer.
