Current Events > I gotta confess, if the RDR2 bathing mechanic was in a JRPG with a girl

(+) Yeah! (+)

I'd call it cringy fanservice.
Like the massage mini game in FFX-2 or the God of War sex sequences

It's so detailed and long winded yet pointless.

I can't think of any other game that did something like that with a hairy 45 year old man.

This describes so many mechanics in RDR2.

Seriously, even Shanghai Noon knew you took the girl in the bath with you.

You can bathe in RDR2? I just took the horse through a river when I got dirty.

yea, there are some hotels/bars that you can get a bathing service in, and a woman comes and washes Arthur (nothing sexual happens, though).

this should've been the subtitle on the cover

And I'm legitimately not horny, but I do genuinely wonder why they bothered adding it in as a mechanic if nothing sexual happens. When I first saw it, I figured there's be an option to "wash" your groin.

Instead you're just watching a middle-aged man get washed.

You're roleplaying as Arthur. Other than taking a shit or piss constantly, you do everything. It's part of the experience.

I wish that was in a JRPG with a big titty anime chick. It would add so much immersion and depth to that game

Yup and it shows everything but Arthur's groin as you sit in the tub and manually scrub each limb one by one.

It's.... odd

Hold on isnt Arthur only like 30 or so

So what you're saying is it should've been in the Remake

I find it odd that RDR2 doesnt have really anything sexual in it (that i can rember).

RDR1 had tiddies and full V at one point.

Eh if you like to role play the more options to do so the better. There coulda been a option to try qnd flirt with the girl though and it was chance based. Succeed off screen sex. Fail get tossed out on your ass naked.

Is it up to the Yakuza series to provide the full soapland experience?

Of course not. Closest the Yakuza series ever got to that was the aromatherapy massage minigame from Y3, and they haven't done "pervy" minigames in a while.

I never even did that as Arthur. I just kept letting him get filthy enough for the lady at camp to get mad at him.

Maybe there was supposed to be more to it but it got cut or was not completed in time. Then again Arthur is a bit of a prude. He gets propositioned all the time and there literally is no option to do anything. He's wild west Kiryu

I don't mind the mechanic though I only ever personally did it once. I think what would make it better is giving Arthur some sort of buff afterward, like bonuses to the health and stamina cores.

Nothing sexual happening makes sense. This is t GTA,, and the character you're playing as isn't the type to go around fucking hookers. Even if you play him as an outlaw asshole he's still somewhat respectable, deeply in love with a woman he knows he can't and won't ever have, and is still damaged by the death of his first wife and child. When Arthur cuts loose, he's always surrounded by friends and family and just drinking having a good time, not hitting on women because that's the state of mind he's in.

I don't think you're the only one.

What was the aromatherapy game? The phonesex minigame in 0 was kinda pervy >_>

I liked wearing the bear hat to provoke responses

I thought this was about the star wars robot and was super confused.

I like the kiryu chat show one in (I think) 6.
