its gonna own when the rockstar brothers just keep making increasingly undesirable vanity projects and become reclusive and end up watching the opening cutscene to Vice City on loop in their enormous mansions like fucking Howard Hughes
red dead online could be really cool but it’s still fundamentally GTA multiplayer, which means guys who are 100 levels above you will randomly roll up on you and blow your head off every 5 minutes while you’re trying to scrounge for pennies
I also associate my “why are you making me interact with all of these arbitrary systems in the narrowest clumsiest way possible like that’s supposed to make it fun in itself!!!” reaction more with minecraft than anything else so I guess rockstar still has a basis for thinking they’re at the forefront of game design but I find the whole thing so baffling
for all I know it is miserable to play but reading about it rdr2 just sounds more and more interesting to me. I knew you could sit in chairs I didn’t know you could pick things up off the shelf.
It’s an extremely chill time to play RDR2. I’ve played a little less than 10 hours and I spent most of it hunting and camping, away from any semblance of civilization. Only returning to base camp to drop off some things and catch up with people if need be.
now that i think about it if bully played like red dead 2 id still probably be into it, since it wouldnt be cowboy shit and a skateboard upkeep minigame sounds dope actually
