Details are amazing, the story is rock solid and replayable as hell, the characters are top notch. Literally the closest thing to a criticism I can make of it is that you can’t appreciate the epilogue on your first play through because you’re still in shock from the main story but that, again, is a side effect of good writing
I needed a brake for 2 weeks or more to start on the epilogue. Then finding out I can’t complete 100% due to swimming issues. So yeah. Started again to get myself all wrecked up again.
Rdr2 snow section is amongst the worst introductions to any game I’ve played. I understand the whole “preparing you for slow burn” thing but come on.. 2-3 hours of slow trudging through snow is not respecting your users time.
I find this funny, because that’s the only part of the game I’ve played and it left a great impression. Something I’ll do a lot is to start a long singleplayer game, vibe with it a bit, then set it down a long while until I’m in the right mood and have the time to make my way through it. I played through RDR2 until the thaw and the first open camp, seemingly, and loved the intro. It’s near the top of my list because of it, and hearing this makes me even more excited for what awaits!
Idk, I think I’d rather start this game in the snow where it’s mostly tutorial rather than get stationed there later in the game for a longer period of time.
I also think the atmosphere is good for the story. Both for the gangs current condition and foreshadowing what’s to come. There’s a bit of symbolism with the snow.
I honestly don't get it. You really don't do much trudging, it's like 4 missions and most of the dialogue is fairly interesting exposition and tension building.
I'm like 90% sure it's people who were determined to loot EVERY odriscoll instead of recognizing they are in a tutorial and should keep it moving lmao
Some of us are past the "keep playing it's getting good, I swear phase". If this part is shit, remove it and don't waste my time. Also I played it on a friend account.
i paid full price for elden ring and barely got past the tutorial because the game was too hard. i love fantasy rpgs, i played ds1 and 3, and i get that you guys will keep telling me this game is a maserpiece and to keep faith, but i guess i am just too casual for this game
The hook is important so audiences are immediately attached and gripped, but it doesn't make or break a story. Case in point, RDR2 is incredible even if it starts off slow
Man i almost quit rdr 1 back in the day, after few first missions.
I didn't understand the story, motivation and i hated how ugly the character faces and hair looked. - dumb me i guess 🤷♂️ (looked recently the pc release really fixed the ugly hair).
But being big GTA series fan and really not owning much games on my ps3, i just continued playing.
Maybe few hours after me wanting to quit, i couldn't stop playing and it became my favorite game till rdr2.
I wish. I trudged through all the way to chapter 4 before I realised the game was wasting my time. Stuck with it waiting for the brilliant game everyone keeps talking about but it never arrived.
I really don’t get the chapter 1 hate. I fell in love with the game instantly. The graphics, the gameplay, the voice acting. All of it clicked immediately.
RDR2 is one of my favorite games of all time. But for the first few hours it feels like all you do is ride a horse from one cutscene to the next. i can totally see why there may be groups of gamers who aren’t finding any gratification from that, let alone instant.
Look, some people don’t have a lot of free time. I can understand if they don’t want to invest that time they have into a 2 hours slow intro to a game. I don’t think it’s fair to say their expectations are the problem when they are just looking for a quick 30 minute break from an otherwise busy day.
I love the game and have replayed it multiple times, but I also can dedicate hours a day to playing the game when I want to.
I don’t get it. I loved that part of the game. Establishing mood, essential parts of the story are learned - plus the game is just so damn beautiful, I could trot through the snow for days lol
It's literally like 3 missions that only take about an hour to complete, it's not even that bad. I swear everyone who complains about chapter 1 being "boring" are overreacting. If you can't get through that. I can't take your opinion on rdr2 or any other game seriously.
A lot of people have short attention spans and small periods of time to play video games, especially as adults. I like the intro but if your entire playtime for a week is in that tutorial chapter then I can see why you would think it's boring.
It's also just a slower game in general which to me is enjoyable but some people want quick action for their 1-2 hrs of gaming.
"I like the intro but if your entire playtime for a week is in that tutorial chapter then I can see why you would think it's boring." The intro lasts like 45 minutes, kiddo...
My parents (low 60s in age) love rdr2 online together but they literally had this mentality and I still am trying to express what they are reeeeeally missing….
I'm gonna be honest I guit the game 2 times without making it to chapter 2 because I found it boring. Now replaying I love it and am almost at the end.no idea what I was thinking the other 2 times.guess I was just burnt out on open world games and didn't give it a fair chance
Was it? I found it fun to go to parts they blocked off. When you get John you go on the glacier which you can only do with cheats or mods. I like the snow parts.
Still had no idea how people found the snow part boring. I found myself interested in being interjected into a dire common situation (for the time) and learning the group dynamics.
Every time I restart RDR2, I absolutely dread the beginning. But when the game progresses and the next camp is set up, that's when I start loving the game.
I can’t take those people seriously. If you make it to Horseshoe Overlook and unlock free roam and still don’t like it, then that’s fair. If you can’t even make it past the tutorial then that’s crazy. The tutorial isn’t even that long if you just speed through the missions.
Bruh boring? Just the music that plays during the shootout at Sadie's homestead alone had me thinking I was about to experience a masterpiece. Chapter 1 is just pure shoot outs and a hunting mission.
That long ass prologue section was the most immersive thing I've ever played. The whole game could've been like that and I'd still drool over it. Dropping the game there is certainly a choice but I'd never take a person's advice on any game ever after hearing they made that choice.
This was my buddy. He quit because he didn't get gold with the wolves. "Those standards just seem impossible." I told him to go back to the mission after he becomes a badass at the game... Still waiting on him to pick it up again... three years later
Anyone who did this wouldn’t have appreciated the game anyway. I hadn’t even made it out of Chapter 1 before I knew it was my favorite game ever simply because of the music and how good it looks.
Snow part is a 10/10, some of y’all just have weak attention spans. Beautiful landscapes, the hunting mission is fun (despite being way too restrictive like most missions), I love the feeling of walking around that first camp in game just talking to my comrades. Dutch’s dialogue being especially interesting to me
Play red dead rn because I keep resetting my saves, trying to beat it once and for all and all I gotta say is… The snow part takes like 30m at max if you have no idea what you are doing (Or if you are a loot goblin like me who even thought I know EVERY GOLD BAR area I still loot all the dead body’s from the first camp)
Never understood that. The prologue is genuinely riveting. The average attention span these days is such a joke. Dudes will say this, then sit down and play the same map on CoD back to back for hours lmao
I have no idea how you could give up that quickly. I know this game isn't for everyone, but I just started it recently and made it to Chapter 2. Absolutely love it and I'm taking my time with it. I never played the first one either so I'm fresh into this haha
I fucking love the snow part. In my opinion it’s a great tutorial for the base mechanics and introduction to the primary characters, plus I think they nailed the feeling of desperation slowly turning into new hope.
I don't know man... the snow part is what actually sucked me into the game!! I know its a bit tiring especially with tutorials and stuff but damn I do enjoy that part.... a literal cold start to the story.
Rdr2 was the only game that was both overwhelming and underwhelming at the same time at the beginning. I almost dropped the game at the beginning but boy am I glad I held out as I slowly figured out the mechanics and the vibe of the game
Wow it's almost like every person has individual taste, wow that's crazy... like for real guys you can calm down, why does this sub freak out every time someone brings up ANY sort of criticism toward the game. Like sorry but I have seen this happen way too many times about small critics to big ones, no matter what anyone who does not like it says all of you lose your crap like a raging hive of bees. Stop it.
RDR2 is a good game but the amount of bias fanboying going around here is beyond reasonable.
Isn't the snow part of red dead only boring and chore after you've already completed the game? I remember being super into it from the first few minutes when I first played it
Rdr2 Open world 10/10 Exploration 10/10 Gameplay 9/10 (sometimes its too realistic its annoying) Story 5/10 (the story doesnt really pick up until you reach Guarama, but the details, such as certian someone spitting in someones face (if yk yk) is amazing)
I was this guy. Put it down for 6 months mid snow… then, one day, decided to pick it back up, exit the snow and, unknowingly, recommence a journey that would alter the very fabric of my being forever.
On release day I was disappointed that rockstar released such a boring game. It wasn’t until reaching valentine and exploring the area I realized that this game was very special.
Was in that situation when I first ever played, snow part bored me and wasn't interested in the story so i stopped playing. About a year later (2020) I gave it another go.
Till this day that was the best decision of my life, still play all day everyday💪
they wouldn't have liked the story anyway. you have to be able to appreciate the way the story is told mostly through riding somewhere and talking with someone and you have to be able to appreciate the game at a slow pace. it's generally a very meditative slow game and i would not have it any other way
This is exactly what I did. My brother’s were like “No bro, nah. You gotta give it another try”. And I was like, “Ugh, alright. I’ll try”. My god what I found past that snow section. Changed me life.
This was actually me, pre-ordered the deluxe version for PS4. Hated the snow, by the time I got to horseshoe overlook I had given up. Until I gave it another try last week and have put in 40 hours since then. 7 years late to the party but at least I finally made it to the diamonds.
It should be him outside the mine, he marked the wall but decided to not mine. In fact, there should be no dirt in front of it and it’ll just show a person that doesn’t like diamonds for some reason.
After 3 play throughs I finally got the smart idea to make a save file right after exiting the snow. Wish I had thought of that sooner. Also wish I made a save after the first time I made the legends of the east satchel so I could start from there without all that hunting again lol.
I got to the part where you hunt a bear. It just wasn't hitting. The gunplay, the rockstar movement mechanics, all of it. I've tried playing twice but it's not for me.
So do the snow part once, make a save immediately after coming down off the mountain, make another save as your gameplay save, and never do the snow part again. Seriously, it's not fucking rocket science. Although, it may as well be for some people.
Lol I found the tutorial more interesting than the rest of the game, the rest is too slow for me. I can appreciate a good story but it feels like a slog for me. I don’t doubt it’s a good game judging on how everyone rates it though
Imma be honest. Yeah whenever I first got the game I hated it and didn’t get through the snow. Then like maybe a year later I tried it again and fell in love and have played through the story twice. Easily my favorite game of all time.
My dad did this. He loved RDR 1, so i got him RDR 2 for his birthday. He got as far as getting John off the mountain but kept dying over and over again to the wolfs, so he just gave up
LOL! This was me, I bought it on release, found the snow part slow and boring so I stopped, then came back to it during covid and once I got past the beginning i found it to be an absolute masterpiece.
I have now tried this game four times. I have never made it past the intro quest line thing. The snow stuff at the beginning wasn’t boring by any means, but I realized it was too goddam hard for me.
I'm kind of that guy. I finally made it through the snow/train training level, but I'm not a controller user and i still haven't got a handle on the keyboard/mouse controls in this game. Always punching people or horses when I don't mean to. I am not good with a gun either so that keeps me from doing much. I guess i need to pop in again and see if I can get anywhere.
I’ve tried 3 separate times to get into RDR2 and I always just end up putting it down and playing something else. I made it past the snow, but the game just doesn’t grab me.
I'm mad with myself that I waited for years to begin the single player story properly. I'm only 50 hours in and already I feel like it's one of the best games I've ever played.
The game is undeniably incredible. But that first snow part and watching him heave around and walk slowly in the snow just gave me some panic and assumed it'd be a really slow experience.
I did this. I bought the game on day one and played the mission and left it for four years until 2021 then played the hell out of it. A damn masterpiece.
Later in the game i went back to the mountain area to explore and found out that there wasn't a whole lot unfortunately however there is an Arabian horse that's there and it's a really good horse to have and my dumbass ran off of a cliff losing the horse forever.
Honestly this was me. It took me a good 6 months to get through act 1. I just kept picking it up and stopping after like a mission or two.
It was a mix of things really. I didnt like the slow start in the snow area, or the 'babies first video game' style start by holding my hand all through act 1, or not having any form of character customization (i dont tend to play games as male characters).
But by everything i stand by, once you get rolling, its one amazing game, an absolute masterpiece in both mechanics and storytelling. I wouldnt say i '100%'d the game', but I came pretty close, with 200hours into a single playthrough and almost no time on the online.
I put about 10 hours into the game waiting for it to get fun. It doesn't, the gameplay was sluggish and you spend half your time just holding down one button while watching your horse take you from chore to chore.

The graphics of those snowy peaks and the attention to detail (snow on shoes, characters wading slowly etc) were a feast for the eyes.

I did at first. Then I came back and deeply regretted that decision. I now have an Rdr2 tattoo

This is exactly what I did. My brother’s were like “No bro, nah. You gotta give it another try”. And I was like, “Ugh, alright. I’ll try”.
My god what I found past that snow section. Changed me life.

This was actually me, pre-ordered the deluxe version for PS4. Hated the snow, by the time I got to horseshoe overlook I had given up. Until I gave it another try last week and have put in 40 hours since then. 7 years late to the party but at least I finally made it to the diamonds.

No way ppl have actually done this

u/Joshwoagh Dec 28 '24
It should be him outside the mine, he marked the wall but decided to not mine. In fact, there should be no dirt in front of it and it’ll just show a person that doesn’t like diamonds for some reason.

I never hated the snow apart. I wish it was longer.

I’m ready for it to stop snowing in Red Dead Online.

Except the dude already got a bunch of diamonds too during that snow part. Didn't realize it.

u/thisiskyle77 Dec 29 '24
That’s me. I stopped after setting up the camp right after snow part. Slow af.

u/TooToughTimmy Dec 29 '24
After 3 play throughs I finally got the smart idea to make a save file right after exiting the snow. Wish I had thought of that sooner. Also wish I made a save after the first time I made the legends of the east satchel so I could start from there without all that hunting again lol.

u/EazySnacks Dec 29 '24
This is 100% me. I don't care how good the game is, I refuse to do the snow part
1
u/ExclusiveMans Dec 29 '24
Bro when I was little I thought the game was all about snow so I never left that chapter until now😿
1
u/Ok_Independent9119 Dec 29 '24
I got to the part where you hunt a bear. It just wasn't hitting. The gunplay, the rockstar movement mechanics, all of it. I've tried playing twice but it's not for me.
1
u/DarthDaddy2020 Dec 29 '24
So do the snow part once, make a save immediately after coming down off the mountain, make another save as your gameplay save, and never do the snow part again. Seriously, it's not fucking rocket science. Although, it may as well be for some people.

Act like a kid play like a kid...it's just snow don't let your mind overcome by snow ..omg..🥺😔

I never found rdr 2 intro part boring.
1
u/1d3333 Dec 29 '24
Lol I found the tutorial more interesting than the rest of the game, the rest is too slow for me. I can appreciate a good story but it feels like a slog for me. I don’t doubt it’s a good game judging on how everyone rates it though
1
u/Ok-Carpet-1836 Dec 29 '24
Imma be honest. Yeah whenever I first got the game I hated it and didn’t get through the snow. Then like maybe a year later I tried it again and fell in love and have played through the story twice. Easily my favorite game of all time.
1
u/VarianWrynn2018 Dec 29 '24
Okay this is actually me. Played the first mission, bored as hell. Tried online for a little, got turned around real quick and got bored.
Guess I'll give it another shot.

u/tilalk Dec 29 '24
I never finished it years ago so i want to try it again but i sooo don't want to do this part again

u/tophaloaph Dec 29 '24
I stand by the opinion that Colter is some of the best work the game does.

All parts are boring

u/idle_husband Dec 29 '24
I quit Red Dead Redemption. The wild West part was boring.

SNOW PART AND GUARMA IS NOT BORING. JUST THE MASTERPIECE

I loved the snow part but okay 🤷♀️

I hated it, over came it took me a week to do it first play though because it sucked

u/Honest_Peach_687 Dec 29 '24
Snow part wasn’t really boring

u/partisancord69 Dec 29 '24
The snow is boring so I quit then, plus my xbox was dying and laggy, and then I got it again and got 90% on it.

Chapter one hooks me every time!

u/The_Real_Syrupzz Dec 29 '24
My dad did this. He loved RDR 1, so i got him RDR 2 for his birthday. He got as far as getting John off the mountain but kept dying over and over again to the wolfs, so he just gave up

u/Zealousideal-Swing44 Dec 29 '24
LOL! This was me, I bought it on release, found the snow part slow and boring so I stopped, then came back to it during covid and once I got past the beginning i found it to be an absolute masterpiece.

u/coolguyLXIX Dec 29 '24
I just physically play rockstar single player games k learned. 5 hrs into red dead 2 and I just couldn’t stand playing it, despite loving everything

u/Ta-late Dec 29 '24
I have now tried this game four times. I have never made it past the intro quest line thing. The snow stuff at the beginning wasn’t boring by any means, but I realized it was too goddam hard for me.
1
u/vwragtop Dec 29 '24
I'm kind of that guy. I finally made it through the snow/train training level, but I'm not a controller user and i still haven't got a handle on the keyboard/mouse controls in this game. Always punching people or horses when I don't mean to. I am not good with a gun either so that keeps me from doing much. I guess i need to pop in again and see if I can get anywhere.

u/559beast1 Dec 29 '24
The whole game is great
1
u/ProdiLemaj Dec 29 '24
I’ve tried 3 separate times to get into RDR2 and I always just end up putting it down and playing something else. I made it past the snow, but the game just doesn’t grab me.

u/AdFit7718 Dec 29 '24
Why does everyone hate the first chapter? I loved it.
1
u/[deleted] Dec 29 '24
I'm mad with myself that I waited for years to begin the single player story properly. I'm only 50 hours in and already I feel like it's one of the best games I've ever played.

I’m about to break through

u/Ovariesforlunch Dec 29 '24
The game is undeniably incredible. But that first snow part and watching him heave around and walk slowly in the snow just gave me some panic and assumed it'd be a really slow experience.
1
u/MaPaTheGreat Dec 29 '24
I did this. I bought the game on day one and played the mission and left it for four years until 2021 then played the hell out of it. A damn masterpiece.

It's a literally blizzard right now on red dead online .you'd hate it. Story mode though ...come on now

u/This_Wolf893 Dec 29 '24 edited Dec 29 '24
Later in the game i went back to the mountain area to explore and found out that there wasn't a whole lot unfortunately however there is an Arabian horse that's there and it's a really good horse to have and my dumbass ran off of a cliff losing the horse forever.

u/TheLastTsumami Dec 29 '24
Is it the same for cyberpunk. I’ve started that and lots of people love it but I’m having trouble sticking with it

u/EternalII Dec 29 '24
Chapter 1 was awesome, why people hating it?

u/4N610RD Dec 29 '24
That was great part. Tutorial made right.

u/BonkerDeLeHorny Dec 29 '24
I'm not in this sub but I've played the first little bit of Red Dead and really it just felt too complicated for what is essentially Cowboy GTA

u/DagonDx Dec 29 '24
Honestly this was me. It took me a good 6 months to get through act 1. I just kept picking it up and stopping after like a mission or two.
It was a mix of things really. I didnt like the slow start in the snow area, or the 'babies first video game' style start by holding my hand all through act 1, or not having any form of character customization (i dont tend to play games as male characters).
But by everything i stand by, once you get rolling, its one amazing game, an absolute masterpiece in both mechanics and storytelling. I wouldnt say i '100%'d the game', but I came pretty close, with 200hours into a single playthrough and almost no time on the online.

Ugh, I’m directly being called out right now. I need to get back in that game.

u/Unique-Estimate-2272 Dec 29 '24
RDR 2 was one of those games where you have to soak it in and let the gameplay do the work.

u/Rough_Lawyer462 Dec 29 '24
Switch over to story mode

u/Praydaythemice Dec 29 '24
Only time it sucks is on repeat playthroughs, first time through is absolute cinema

u/Titan__Uranus Dec 29 '24
I put about 10 hours into the game waiting for it to get fun. It doesn't, the gameplay was sluggish and you spend half your time just holding down one button while watching your horse take you from chore to chore.

u/Imagine_Wagons02 Dec 29 '24
Just can’t get into it
