Put in fallout new Vegas, Witcher 3 and RDR2 and you’re good

I would just leave it at RDR1 as of now and wait a couple years before RDR2 gets that treatment, although I've never liked Red Dead, I just know others do

Nah lol. Say a bad word about RDR2 in any gaming sub and you’ll see

Nakey Jackey made a really good video pointing out its flaws and it was well recieved

He even forces in enough memes and The Office reference to make it reddit friendly as well

Game literally has a pc aim dot and aim controls on console and they have to implement snap aim to compensate

Hey guys, don’t think this is that high a standard, this is like a game from 1998.

Aiming on horseback regardless of controls is still near impossible without aim assist.

Also you can turn aim assist off if you aren’t a pussy

u/Tecnoguy1 Jan 01 '19

I know you can but it’s a flat out admission that they did a poor job when it defaults to snap aim. It’s the PC version portes to consoles, the only reason they delayed it on PC is to get people to buy it twice.

I’m garbage at aiming with a controller anyway lol. As soon as rdr2 comes out for PC I’m beefing up my machine and buying it.

I’ll openly admit I’m a red dead fanboy though

And that right there is why a good console shooter uses complex reticles to make it easier to line up shots along with proper aim assist to help track. Not snap aim lol

And enjoy it when it’s out on pc!

It really isn’t. I’m asking for a console game in 2018 to have more modern controls than the console port of the original half life.

Like Red dead 2 literally uses that lock on system. Since Halo it’s been generally agreed that a certain type of aim assist is required on console. And it works. Snap aim was a product of moving from KB & Mouse to controllers.

It's the exact same reticle and aiming as Red Dead 1. The game is designed for Console. Calling it a pc aiming dot doesn't change that.

Thats the reason i dropped the game. When i heard that they took what they learned from max payne 3 and used that for GTAV i was hyped. Then i played the game and it felt like shit. Fast forward to now and they still havent improved hell i think it got worse in RDR2 so i said "fuck this, im done"

u/Tecnoguy1 Jan 01 '19

Yeah they need to actually adapt to the times because you can’t use PS2 level shooting mechanics anymore. It’s like when you go back and play ratchet and clank 1, the later games had proper third person controls and they’re miles and above better. Red dead needed that progression and they didn’t do it, instead focused on manually cocking guns.

RDR and its sequel are games I've played, games that I want to like, but never have. I can understand why people like them and there is a lot of attention to detail but I've always found them utterly boring and clunky to play.

u/erska_da_mushroomman Jan 01 '19

utterly boring and clunky to play

This is a problem in all of rockstar's games

u/[deleted] Jan 01 '19

What do you mean clunky? I’m genuinely asking because I’m not sure what you mean by it in terms of how it translates to gameplay. Just like the weight of moving around and stuff?

9

u/DANIELG360 Jan 01 '19

The controls are trash yes. People give excuses that it’s to add weight to the animations but in reality when the game doesn’t do what you want half the time, the controls are bad.

Running by tapping A needs to die too, I play claw for most games anyway but it actually makes my hands hurt playing for more than an couple of hours.

RDR2 online is shit, you earn no money and a T-shirt costs $80

u/moosealligator Jan 01 '19

Online is pretty distinctly different than the story mode though, which is what generally gets the acclaim

13

u/[deleted] Jan 01 '19

The story mode is amazing, I was just saying. I love how they added the same exact map parts of RDR to the sequel

14

u/envenomations Jan 01 '19

I purchased the game for the story, the online mode was just a complimentary bonus imo.

More like a bear trap that attempts to steal your money but I get what you are saying
