TWENTY-FIVE SNAKES POUR OUT YOUR EYES

I had the most fun when I wasn't on their incredibly shitty railroading missions where if you move your horse slightly to the left it's an instant game over. Installed a few mods to give the game some actual difficulty and enjoyed it as a survival game for a while

I mod Bethesda games plenty.
The only thing Rockstar games have going for them is reliability, mostly because the games are so insanely railroaded and the developers only programmed one path to complete an objective

Every time there's some tense (ish) moment, WHELP BETTER STARE AT THE CORNER OF THE SCREEN TO SEE IF I'M SUPPOSED TO WIGGLE LS OR TAP RT OR WHAT IT WANTS ME TO DO
Game will go into letterbox 'cutscene' mode, but still require you to control the character.
Rdr1 had this shit too. Set out dynamite to ambush a caravan, I spread it all out and waited for the lead horse to reach my furthest-forward dynamite. Cue harpy screeching WHY DIDN'T YOU BLOW THEM UP and everyone goes aggro.
I enjoyed it when it came out, but stopped playing near the end when you go to that island.
Picked it up again a few months ago and holy shit the controls felt terrible. Like there's so much post processing going on that there's noticeable lag everytime you change direction.
Been playing nothing but Dark Souls and Elden Ring in between so I'm sure those have changed my perception of responsiveness but holy shit I can't put up with that and if GTA6 is similar then it's over for me.

I remember there was supposed to be some big dramatic reveal where you're like HOLY FRICK A WARSHIP but I missed it because
A) you're going up a spiral staircase and corner like a classic Mustang
B) I'm immediately looking at the red dots on the minimap
Anytime the game forced me to use a mounted gun, I'm angry. If you're playing with a controller it's darn near impossible to aim without assist, because you're either moving the camera too fast or too slow to track a moving object. Add in that final mission in RDR1 where you're doing this on the back of a moving car, spinning in random directions and you can't shoot anyone within 50 feet of you

Son of a b-word, i have a screenshot on my computer at home that just says
Red Dead Redemption 2
Critical Failure
And I was going to finish the storyline on Sunday so I could finally post my rant about how bad the gameplay is. Holy frick fishing sucks, like trying to solve a vibrating rubics cube.
I started doing the challenges but gave up because it's not fun and the challenge is constantly asking yourself "Am I doing it wrong, or is there just some bullshit Gotcha going on that the developers never bother to mention?"
Like yeah, let's have a challenge to headshot from 600 feet away, but absolutely no indication on how far away you are, and the enemies despawn at 550 feet.
It's a big-butt world. Good luck trying to figure out the one spot an Owl spawns for five seconds an hour without using Google.
You can carry only 10 of everything regardless of weight without getting the upgraded packs made of legendary beaver teeth and rooster testicles, so HAVE FUN walking in a circle five times to collect enough blades of grass to make three Potent Restore Magica potions.
Those mfing observables, like the dreamcatchers. I never fast-travel, always beeline through country, and still only found two. Only found one dinosaur bone. But those rock carvings? Zero. No idea what they look like or how obvious they should be, nor am I gonna look it up. You're just told about them by some swamp hillbilly, so the game gives no indication of what they look like. Big? Small? Red? Black? Stone-colored? What kinda rocks are they in, random boulders? Buttes? Sandstone? River edges? Mountain?
Also hey guys here's a treasure map. Go get the three shotgun casings and $50 or whatever is in it.
AAAAHHHHH HOLY FRICK WHY CAN'T THE WIFI JUST WORK, JESUS FRICKING CHRIST VERIZON

But that's my point.
You shouldn't have to pause the game and Google how to do something, especially at the frequency it happens in this game.
Early-game, like chapter 2, you're told about a house you can rob "North of Van Horn". That's the only hint. Well turns out it's actually at the far north end of the map, beyond Annesburg, and you can't rob it until chapter 6. No explanation given, absolutely nothing in-game to indicate "this is the house, but it's not robbable YET".
"I want a harmonica". You can't ask them about it anymore. Can't ask others. Can't ask merchants. Can't ask fences. Can't steal one from a random person playing a harmonica. Either Google it or stumble upon it in a random location nowhere near anything else you'd ever be doing.
Rdr1 Undead Nightmare, you have an unlockable outfit with the requirement "Capture a unicorn". How do you find the unicorn? Well it only spawns in a random unmarked location when you kill the chupacabra. How do you find the chupacabra? Well it only spawns in a random unmarked location when you complete the earlier stages of the Master Hunter challenges. There is NOTHING in-game to indicate this Unicorn outfit requires completing Master Hunter. You either need to run all over the world and just happen upon it in the right order, or Google it. If you're trying to 100% outfits before challenges, you're fricked.

I was shooting heroin and reading "The Fountainhead" in the front seat of my privately owned police cruiser when a call came in. I put a quarter in the radio to activate it. It was the chief. "Bad news, detective. We got a situation." "What? Is the mayor trying to ban trans fats again?" "Worse. Somebody just stole four hundred and forty-seven million dollars' worth of bitcoins." The heroin needle practically fell out of my arm.

Modding is probably the best part of PC gayming. I became a KKK member and then fought them in the rain like in the matrix.

RDR1 might be a top-tenner imo
Never gets too simulation-y, outstanding voice acting, excellent music, fun gameplay, big world. What an all-star.

Never played it. Heard a lot of great things, but I'd rather read a book if it's the story that's so great.

Don't be fooled. Story really isn't that great. It pulls off some very cool cinematic moments, but the plot itself is kind of a mess.

Really wanted to like the game but it was such a fricking slog I couldn't make it an hour.

This game is filled to the gills with these "minigames" and they fricking suck. Make them into a cutscene.
Redemption 1 had nothing like this

I hate modern minigames. Tedious bullshit that's mostly a cut scene so you can pad 10 hours of "gameplay"
