By the way, Red Dead Redemption.
Ahem, it's story is ripped from GTA IV.
GTA IV: Find Dimitri.
RDR: Find Bill, Frank and that mexican filler guy.
It's difficulty curve goes up and down more than an apple bopping contest.
It's story in Mexico is pointless.
The government is a bunch of [censored]s.
The revolutionist guy is an [censored] who basically just does his revolution in order to do the same thing the last guy did.
Marston is whipped like crazy.
He always tells people "I'm tired of your crap, help me or I'll leave."
And what does he do?
He helps them out anyway like a good little lapdog.
The ending, while a twist, was pointless. The climix AND the final quests missions.
And the best part of it is... *Drum rolls* HORSERIDING!
Listen, if I were to give the game a score out of 10 I'd give it 3.5.
5 whole points is taken off strictly due to the horse riding crap.
- "Oh, I need to travel across the map? Greaaaat.... I'll just watch my horse's ass bop up and down while I tap a and then hold down a, then tap a, then hold down a, then tap a, oh look! It's an encounter? Oh... It's the same one as the last 50 [censored] times..."
I know you can use the caravans to fast-travel, but you can only do that in town, and you can't do it over countries until you've completed the game, which meant if I wanted to go to Armadillo from [Mexicanian town] then I have to rid my horse all the way there from the closest mexican town and watch my horse's ass bop up and down while I tap a then hold down a then tap a, then hold down a, THEN TAP A, THEN [censored] HOLD DOWN A!!!!! AAAARGH!!!
And 1.5 points are taken off from Mexico.
It's story was uninteresting, pointless, repetitive, the character were all jerks, the whole thing felt like a filler arc, and the landscape was annoying as [censored] with it's cliffs and crooked roads.
Oh, and the fact that killing the government guys results in -honor, but at the end they turn out to be the bad guys and I don't earn -honor anymore.
Then we have the -honor horse which won't [censored] go away unless you do a crapload of miniquests to get your honor points up.
The -honor horse has crap speed and always runs away from me.
And he always... ALWAYS... Come back to me no matter how many times I kill it.
Red Dead Redemption is one of the most overrated games ever filled with tedious annoying crap, bad storytelling, uninteresting NPC's in mexico and a [censored]-slap ending.
So Rockstar would make Fallout right?
Nope.
GTAIV was a sad depressing over realistic garbage of a game.
And RDR was a poorly written, tedious, half-assed game which had a glimpse of potential that Rockstar failed to grasp.
Balled Of Gay Tony and The Lost And Damned were awesome games, and Undead Nightmare is kinda fun, but guess what, you know the caravan thing you could use from town to town at least?
Well, that's gone, so now I have to ride my horse everywhere... And tap the a button and hold down the a button then tap the a button... *twitch*
So.
Rockstar has lost it's touch.
I'd expect GTA: Super Gritty Realism in the next year or two and if I feel suicidal enough to get some perspective on a more depressing story then I'll buy it.
[edit]
And yes, it did feel good to finally vent it. :fallout:
