There’s no point having a sprawling landscape if you can't fill it with tons of s*** to do in between the regular missions. GTAIV has the occasional stranger to help out in Liberty City. Just Cause 2 has a stack of things to blow up around Panau. And Far Cry 2 has, erm? . Anyway, Red Dead Redemption and its miles of dusty land between different towns and villages could’ve wound up a joyless trek to wander across. But, holy crap, there’s so much stuff to do here that you need never be bored.
RDR 1 was a great game, but the lack of screen time for some characters, boring horse riding, and lack of mission variety takes away the fun at times.
Yeah
It's as good as you remember
Feels like one of those "10 HARSH realities of Re-watching" articles
I liked it a bit better because I didn’t think it had many “small nitpicky” things RDR2 had that on its own meant nothing but when a lot built up it was annoying. For example getting off your horse and you had to reselect your weapons again or walking around the camp slowly. None issues but built up with others sometimes it was a little frustrating at times.
Yeeehaw! Howdy, partner! Saddle up and mosey on down to check out the best western-themed video games you can rustle up on the PS4 today.
While not on the PS4, if you want a pretty imaginative and downright fun Cowboy game you should check out Call of Juarez: Gunslinger. Not only is it a great arcade FPS in its own right but one that has some Narrative Elements that interact with the Gameplay in a pretty surprising and novel way. Something a few of the AAAAAAAA games should be looking at in order to marry the Narrative with the Gameplay better.
The best part is that you can get it for a few dollars on GOG or STEAM during their sales.
From school politics to ping-pong, pistols to police procedurals, let’s dive into the best that Rockstar has to offer.
Hurry up and come out already.
"Is it better than...GTAIV?
No. But only just. It's highly subjective but personally we prefer pissing about in Banshees around Star Junction than riding a horse about. And the story of Niko is more involving and interesting than John Marston's."
Kinda surprised to hear that, but they did say highly subjective
Interesting review.
These kinds of open world games are a double edged sword. There's so much to do which is a plus. But the general Long- windedness of most of these tales can develop into a real drag if the gameplay mechanics have not been streamlined to keep you from getting tired of playing the game. It doesn't bother me too much to not finish them, but I'm hoping that this time we have an exception.
But really looking forward to playing this in my spare time. I haven't played a really good western game as of yet.
I keep hearing that this game in insanely easy. I guess we'll have to find out...preordered on Amazon, but not shipping until May 24th :(
