I haven't beaten RDR2 yet, but the story is pretty lackluster. The characters were forgettable, the missions added nothing, and the whole 'twilight of the outlaw' storyline is basically a rehash of the first game, except it's even less justifiable here since it's a prequel. TLoU isn't really my sort of game, though, so I never played it and can't really compare.

Don't know what TLOU2's story will do that hasn't already been done better by The Walking Dead and such tbh

I found the story of RDR2 to be its biggest strength personally. I can go into it but feel like diving in right now.

I think the characters are really good, especially Arthur, and Dutch maintains to be an intriguing character right to the end. The story is simple, but well executed. It's a great story of redemption, loyalty, disillusionment and family. There's also themes of impermanence and some cool sociopolitical themes of industrialization, modernity etc. I would have though a history major like you would have appreciated it. --- "Death is so terribly final, while life is full of possibilities." ...

TLoU isn't really my sort of game, though, so I never played it and can't really compare. Chapter 3, IIRC. Dutch is pretty much the standard anti-hero mentor, Arthur is a brick dressed up like Clint Eastwood, Micah (I couldn't even remember his name) might as well be spinning his evil mustache, etc. Like I said, it's not that it's a particularly bad story, just really bland, and they already did the same story before. I'm probably a bit biased, though, because I hate prequels, but I just don't feel any of the characters are particularly interesting or memorable. ... Copied to Clipboard!

On one hand, I think 3-4 is the game's peak in every department, on the other the game's narrative definitely reaches a sort of turning point by the end of 4.

I don't like a story that bores me for 3/4 only to finally start picking up in the last quarter. I feel like that is really, really shitty pacing. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Yeah, that's what I sort of figure. There are a few other things that bother me, too. Like the glacial pace of missions and the repetitive nature of the missions. I feel like every single time I go to pick up something, I have to watch a 20 second animation for the sake of 'realism', when the game already throws realism out the door for other things. ...

RDR2 is basically just cowboy slice of life, at the point of Chapter 3 Im at. Regardless of how it may ramp up, thats way too far along to still feel like things are being set up. Theres like 3? separate minor antagonists, two of which Ive only directly encountered twice and one I basically only know about because Ive been slaughtering his goons wholesale. None of them seem to be the focus, and the game doesnt seem to want to commit to making me hate my peersfor realsies.
Fun game tho and just interacting with everyone is a highlight --- "poop porn can be slightly attractive as long as it's not that liquidy sort of poop." ~ hi_polymer https://imgur.com/6GJoJ ... Copied to Clipboard!

I'm really tired of zombie shit while western shit kinda felt fresh surprisingly. I don't think I'm gonna like TLOU2's story as much as RDR2 but who knows

Naughty Dog's writing even before being watered down to agenda driven swill has never been even remotely noteworthy while Rockstar's is known for being top tier even for non videogame standards

Absolutely, when your head dev talks about how important diversity is and two non white women just happen to get their own spinoff game it's a dead give away Also the "YAS QUEEN" trophy is just as lacking in subtlety as you can get --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Also lets stop pretending R*s writing is anything but piss lol
RDR1 was great and Max Payne 3 was decent. Everything else has been puerile garbage and trying to argue otherwise shows your media illiteracy. --- "poop porn can be slightly attractive as long as it's not that liquidy sort of poop." ~ hi_polymer https://imgur.com/6GJoJ ... Copied to Clipboard!

It's always amusing seeing people's opinions of Dutch in the early to mid chapters.
