calamitycastle, do games w Red Dead Redemption 2 overtakes Mario Kart 8 as the 4th best-selling video game of all time, boasting 79 million sales

Is there a mod for this that cuts out all the fiddliness and just lets you do the fun stuff? I got maybe 10h into it but it was still teaching me new controls and mechanics… Idgaf about crafting, funding the camp and horse husbandry, I just want to ride around shooting bad hombres and do the story like rdr1… Is this just not the game for me?

TheRealKuni,

You don’t have to do any of that other stuff. Is ancillary. The game will reward you for it, but it’s completely unnecessary.

Hawk,

This is my sentiment with all recent Rockstar games.

Fantastic settings, great stories, but so much bloat. It’s cool that there’s so much stuff to do, but all the interruptions from actually playing the game are so tiresome.

comeonitsnotlike,

This was kinda me too, hence me stopped play it after some 20h in, and let it rest for half a year… recently I decided to give it another go, and when you get the hang of the huge amount of controls in this game, ie; when you can play “smooth” with the controls and the animations that come with them different button clicks, it’s such a game changer (at least for me). Not gonna lie, it took me about 30-40 hours to get comfortable and be productive/effective with how to play this game (these kind of games aren’t my goto though, I’m more of a Tetris guy, haha)

calamitycastle,

Interesting to know though. It sounds bananas in a way though doesn’t it… Like a workweek of training to get good enough to just functionally play a game seems crazy to me, (no judgement!)

comeonitsnotlike,

Agree. But again, I’m not used to these kind of games so the average player might get the hang of it in a couple of hours… (plus, the first 20:ish hours I mostly just took it all in, the views, the atmosphere of it, like a digital walk in the nature… time just went by)

Headbangerd17,

I made it to the end since it was one of the only games I had at the time. Felt like the entire game was a riding horses and talking simulator. It’s so tiring going through the main story. Was ultimately disappointed in the end. Felt like they wanted to make a movie more than a game.

calamitycastle,

I do love a western though

PalmTreeIsBestTree,

That’s why I enjoyed it. I have a thing for borderline interactive movie games because I love movies.

You can finish the game without crafting or funding the camp. You’re just locking yourself out of useful items and upgrades.

I was really, really late into this game. Now, 70h in, I’m like “this is a very good game, dude!”. (makes my cheap ass, waiting for it to go to sale seem… well, I am poor, but I know I wouldn’t have been disappointed, paying full price for it, and I’m not even near completing it, yet…)

With all the shit happening with the production of GTA6 there is a decent chance RDR2 will be remembered as Rockstar’s last good game.

It’s possible and FWIW, that would be a damn fine game to be remembered for. RDR2 was phenomenal and made even better by the fact that online never really caught on so it could just exist as its own thing, unlike GTA V which is also a great game but also inseparable from GTO:O at this point that no one even bothers talking about the great single player of the game

Given the way it’s going for them, it’s very likely actually. But RDR2 is a really good game and it’d be hard to reach that level again.

I’m still wishing for a remake!

Goodlucksil,

Is that a quote? Because RDR2 was released in 2018. It doesn’t need a remake (but could have one, see Resident Evil).

TheRealKuni,

A remake of RDR1?

@0485919158191@lemmy.world avatar

I was thinking RDR2 but RDR1 would be cool too!

TheRealKuni,

RDR2 really doesn’t need a remake. It came out in 2018, and its graphics are still pretty amazing today.

the_crotch,

They already did an rdr1 remaster

TheRealKuni,

I totally forgot about that. 🤣

myfunnyaccountname,

RDR1 remake and an RDR3 announcement. But based on rockstar’s current track record. It will be 2035 before we see RDR3.

stiephelando,

Why would you need a RDR2 remake? It hasn’t aged that much

I’d tell you all to not buy GTA 6 in protest but so may people seem to just not give a fuck even if they say they do. Record sales will probably happen anyways.

ms_lane,

I’m on PC, so waaaay ahead of you.

I’m not expecting it until 2030 at the earliest. (Nov '26 for PS5, add 18-24months for the PS6 release, add 18-24 months for the PC release)

this is not very rockstar of them

Bullshit.

Yea, it’s just a coincidence that all the fired workers were involved in union organization. Sure.

Agent_Karyo,

You should post this separately!

Hadriscus,

Good goddamn. Let’s run Rockstar into the fucking ground.

@rayquetzalcoatl@lemmy.world avatar

Hmm, notorious bastard company obviously fires a bunch of employees for wanting to unionise to protect themselves from notorious bastard management, gets backlash, and then says “no, they were actually a bunch of very naughty employees! if you’re not a naughty employee, you’ve got nothing to fear” yeah fuckin right.

I’d ask if they think everyone in the world is stupid but they made billions off of GTA online and this won’t affect their reputation (or bottom line) one iota so… I mean yes, we’re all stupid.

Ah the old “It’s not what it looks like” with some added “trust me, bro. It’s confidential, I promise” defence. Classic!

I wasn’t gonna play it anyway cause I don’t have PlayStation, but now I’m not playing it with bells on.

TheRealKuni,

cause I don’t have PlayStation

Isn’t it also releasing on PC and Xbox?

Zer0_F0x,

Xbox yes, pc version comes later to boost console sales.

TheRealKuni,

Those bastards. Union busting and PC racism?

turdcollector69,

Rockstar PC ports are always dogshit for the first 5 years of their existence.

I’ll just wait for it to be $5 on sale when it’s finally stable.

killerscene,

i just bought gta 4. hopefully it runs okay

MurrayL,

If you mod it enough, sure. Out of the box it’s dismal.

sugar_in_your_tea,

Nah, I played it 2-3 years ago and it was totally fine. The only bug I recall was at the end with the helicopter sequence, and it was really frustrating. Basically, I had to set a framerate cap to 30 FPS to progress the game (60 might work too, but I needed a cap).

There’s one impactful decision soon after and then a cutscene that’s based on that decision, but otherwise that’s the end. So if you run into the bug and don’t want to fix it, just watch the ending on YouTube or something.

altkey,

Rockstar patched out a bunch of radio music they had time-limited licenses for. I don’t think you would notice that, though there are mods to bring them back. Performance-wise it only had problems with integrated graphic cards under Windows in my expirience. Haven’t tried it on Linux.

zecg,
@zecg@lemmy.world avatar

With proton it finally does.

frezik,

Xbox is failing at this point. I suspect Rockstar might have to bump the timeline of the PC version.

But I’ll still do what I did with GTA V and wait for it to hit bargain bins.

Lfrith,

Like 2 years later so probably 2030 or later with how GTA 6 keeps getting delayed.
