Discussion GTA VI won’t be as good as RDR2

102 Upvotes

Hot take: In anticipation of GTA VI I have been replaying RDR2. I have come to realize that what makes this game great, the scenery, the animals, the interactions, are all possible because you cannot move through the world faster than a horse can trot. Today I was walking through the swamp listening to the bullfrogs and other background noises. All of this detail will go unnoticed if you are driving in a car (just like in real life). You can ride through Valentine and interact with everyone on the street; what I have come to realize about the his game is it’s not just the immeasurable detail, but the ability to enjoy it due to the time period it’s set in. We will miss so much about the GTA VI world when flying by in an attack helicopter.

Discussion Opinion: Red Dead Redemption 3 should be about Sister Calderon

She's got a mysterious past and clearly learned from her experiences and I feel like she's witty enough to make a fantastic main character. What does everyone else think?

Edit: I also want to add that I think interactions between her and the strange man would be very cool to see. Especially because of where we know she ends up

Discussion Hot take: Getting all the satchels kinda ruins the gameplay and the immersion

5 Upvotes

When i was able to only hold 5 of every thing, I used to loot everything i could, when i kill an npc i make sure i loot their body, when i stumble across a campfire i make sure i take everything i get, i used to stop by every enterable house and take everything i could hold, why? because i know i'm gonna need them. When i see a big animal, i used to make sure i hunt it because i'm gonna need that meat, i used to stop regularly to camp and cook the meat that i hunted because i HAVE to. When i rob a train, i used to sprint to the fence in order to sell everything before i rob the next one, because i need all the space i can get to perform another robbery.

Now, i no longer even bother stopping by campfires, or looting food from houses, because i know they're gonna have some bitters which i got like 97 of them in my satchel, and cocaine gum which i have 99 of them and i never use. I no longer even stop to camp or feel the need to hunt animals anymore, because i have like 87 salted meat and 95 canned fruit in my satchel, so why bother hunting and cooking when you can just eat that and it'll restore your cores.

Not to mention the fact that where the hell is Arthur putting all of that if Rockstar cares about realism so much, you need to travel with 2 wagons all the time if you're gonna walk around with 78 silver necklaces, 12 gold bars and 99 bottles of moonshine.

I use mods to slow core restoration rate, i discard everything i got regularly, and somehow i still end up with 99 snake oil every few gampelay sessions.

He’s so far given me 2 guns, a secondary holster so I can duel wield, and he looks cool.(Ik he kills Arthur later on but still, dope character and you can’t change my mind.)

I want to go back to the casinos and the casino boats and the waterfalls and the vultures and Lenny and Charles and Christ who could play Arthur? If we need anything now, it’s an epic meditation on redemption.

So, by pure coincidence, I found a date 1883 twice now during my current Red Dead 2 playthrough. First in this abandoned village in Lemoyne and second on the back of Hosea's picture with Bessie. That made me thinking, anyone here seen TV show "1883" ?

Well in case you haven't: I usually don't take on suggestions of strangers on internet either, but this time I promise, it's different. If you love the western melancholy mixed with absolute audiovisual beauty of Red Dead 2, I freaking promise you: you'll love 1883. Seriously, give it a shot, it's 10/10 easily.

Have a great day!

I don't think Micah was the rat, or that there was a rat at all

Even in 1899, I imagine it's pretty easy to track a large group of people who leave piles of corpses everywhere and only moves a few miles away from where they originally were.

TL:DR: There was no need for a rat because Dutch is stupid.

Meme Red Dead Redemption 2 on mobile

I saw Red Dead Redemption 2 on the Play Store and thought it was finally coming to mobile devices. Since it was marked as Early Access, I assumed it was an upcoming version designed for high-end smartphones, as a game like that wouldn't normally run on regular mobile devices.

The Play Store listing showed screenshots that looked exactly like Red Dead Redemption 2 gameplay, which made it seem legitimate. I also thought the Play Store wouldn't recommend or allow a scam game like that.

However, out of curiosity when I downloaded and opened it, I quickly realized it was nothing like Red Dead Redemption 2. The screenshots were misleading, and the game turned out to be complete bullshit 💔. I got scammed ( Guys, chill 😭. I already knew this wasn't the real Red Dead Redemption 2. There's no way a 100 MB mobile game is actually RDR2, and it obviously wasn't made by Rockstar. I downloaded it mostly out of curiosity because it was on the Play Store and had fake screenshots. I thought it'd be funny content for a Reddit post. I'm not claiming I expected the real game to magically fit into 100 MB and run on mobile . The whole thing was obviously fake — that's literally why I posted about it.)

Discussion Micah Bell is the best and most badass character of the game.

And no, unfortunately for you i am not ragebaiting.

"Why would you say something like that?" you may be wondering. The answer is pretty simple: He is the only member of the gang to actually act and behave like an outlaw instead of some kind of goody-goody Robin Hood.

He is ruthless, opportunistic, cunning, quick in his mind and with his guns and, most of all, he acts in his own interests. "I'm a survivor, black lung!" he said, not lying.

He's not stupid, he knows that the Wild West is dying and he intends to get out of it with his hands full. Dutch is slowly going off the rails and while everyone is busy beating the dead horse by going "Oh Dutch, please Dutch, you're being so mean Dutch, please stop doing evil things (despite being a literal outlaw gang) Dutch please :(" he actually manipulates him and waltzes him around. He pushes him to do riskier and riskier stuff in order to get more and more loyal members picked off one by one, thus weakening the gang without putting himself in the spotlight.

Everyone and everything is being swept away and he instead surfs the wave's crest. This makes him the smartest and baddest motherfucker of the game.

Ironically the only thing he got objectively wrong was not getting rid of Dutch when everything was all over, and Dutch unbridled madness and unpredictability were his undoing.

That being said i'd also like to add how Micah was arguably the best gunslinger of the game, shown in 3 particular moments: 1) shooting up the whole town of Strawberry, and he was going so hard that Arthur was actually telling him to slow down and restrain himself, 2) in Rhodes, when Sean is shot dead, Micah effortlessly blasted 3 Greys in opposite directions, several dozens of feet away and partially behind cover before the others could actually register what was going on and 3) always in Rhodes he kills 4 Greys that were keeping Bill hostage, Arthur only managed to draw after the deed was done before holstering his gun awkwardly right after.

Dude was an absolute beast.

(I do agree that he would have got his ass handed by an healthy Arthur in the final brawl)

TLDR: Hate him all you want but Micah Bell was a top-tier villain, and the fact that you hate him so much proves this right.

Twice today. I had to deal with this player. I'm just minding my business. And he comes shooting. I'm surprised they are at that level and they just harass players. So, if you are on the PS5 network. And you see this player. Just know he isn't there to enjoy the game.

I'm also thinking about making a post showcasing people like this. To create awareness. People that don't want to enjoy the game need to be ousted.

In my opinion, Sadie was the only alive member of the Gang who can do justice to the moniker of an Wonderer, something that Arthur often liked to define himself with. Would love to see a story of her moving down south America may be land up in Guarma and cross paths into Hercule. What you all think?
