this is absolutely the least charitable read of the game. it's about a guy who realizes he's a cog in a deeply exploitative system and doing his best to undo some of the damage he's caused
We always talk about right wing media illiteracy, but this thread makes me realize maybe it’s not just a right wing problem.
the problem is almost definitely people not playing through the game enough to understand the actual themes
Yeah I would say it’s probably people not being able to connect with Arthur at first glance because IT IS just another grizzled white guy action shooter. Obviously that’s valid, but in this one instance I think people should look past it because is good game
oh absolutely, but that's also the point of the series. both red dead redemption games are about grizzled white guys realizing they suck
Couldn’t have said it better.
It's slop
I thought you were disengaging with me?
Sorry I was rude before.
That’s okay, but I will not be replying to you anymore in this thread.
I would play through the game but that intro is just sooooo bad I can't get through it
Like I got to town and I'm thinking "cool, now I can buy a new gun" I get to the gun shop and they have literally nothing
Let me buy a shotgun right away, then I'll be able to get into this shit
maybe try the first one? alternatively if you're on pc, there are mod menus that can spawn weapons on you
