Yeah I wasn't a big fan of the story myself and the ending wasn't as mindblowing as many people play it up to be. They need to make the skinning animation skippable in the sequel cause that shit gets REALLY annoying lol but other than that I think the gameplay was great. The story did get repititive. Evil and/or crazy guy talks for awhile, Marston asks them to clarify, guy says he'll pay Marston back, Marston says that they better be truthful and helps them. Wash, rinse, repeat until they finally pay you back during their last mission. |
And it's stupid besides. If you skin an animal right there's basically no blood, and certainly no blood splatter. The best thing about the gameplay, IMO, was the poker and blackjack. Everything else was a bit fun, and in some cases different for the first couple of times, but it all got a wee bit tiresome after a while. I don't understand why a game like inFamous gets panned for repetitive side missions, and RDR gets more or less a free pass on the same. There is also something rather broken about a game when a "cheat" like bullet time basically becomes essential and then when you use it, it turns what would be a difficult fight into a piss easy fish in a barrel walk through. At least limit its use to, outside of the tutorial mission, to something that is triggered only once in a fight, which is a reward for having taken down a certain number of guys, or perhaps an assist if your hit % goes too low (but not zero so you can't just fire into the air a whole lot at the start and trigger it), which means you're too useless to finish the fight without a little help, which I admit would be me a lot of the time.Bullet time was fun to use, but it made the game too easy.
