I should have known better, as the whole cowboy genre is terrible as fuck. Westerns (as boomer Americans call the genre) have the slowest dialogue, the corniest patriarchal story-line, and are obviously filled with a heap ton of other problematic bits. Of course, I had to try as the game got great reviews. I thought I'd try it with the Steam summer sale.

Fuckkkkkkkk the long boring ass cut scenes. OMG pls talk faster and have dialogue that's interesting. The beginning of the game is just 30 minutes of video and riding your horse so slowly through the snow. I thought that my TikTok brain couldn't stand some old slow game from a bygone era, but I'm checking this shit and it was released in 2018!

If I was some prat who loved the mythology of the "settling of the west", a game with a white dude on a horse on a mountain would get me hard. Why can't more games be like Atomic Heart? I wanna defend the land of Stalin and have cut scenes with ~~good dialogue~~ a talking glove that debates theory and a sexy refrigerator that probably wants to murder me.

Lol come on, rdr is like one of the few remnants of quality AAA games.

I can see why someone else could find it fun. It was just too damn slow for me.

I hyped up the anger and cursing for entertainment value.

I don’t mind when you’re trolling with media with obvious themes, but RDR2 is one of those games full of blue curtain enjoyers, so when I see “RDR2 is about settling and pro-patriarchy” I just gotta hit you with that kiryu-stare stare

It’s me, I’m the one who thought it was fun.

RDR is, RDR2 is the video game equivalent of when Homer designs a car

RDR are two completely different games that are joined by name only. Loved both of them, but for different reasons entirely.

My bad I was supposed to type RDR and RDR2 are two completely different games, but you’re correct. The entire RDR franchise is basically three completely different game lmfao

One RDR(evolver), two RDR(edemption)
