Quad Damage 1,825 Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 (edited) Red Dead Redemption 2 is a game full of detail, an absurd amount of detail sometimes, and yet throughout the game, I didn’t find that same level of detail in its combat system. This is a problem I’ve found with many Rockstar games, most recently Grand Theft Auto 5, though “recently” there was a number of years ago. Firefights in that game were weirdly simplistic, the game using an almost absurd amount of auto-aim to kill off endless targets, and not only has that system not improved in Red Dead Redemption 2 all these years later, it’s almost actually worse. https://www.forbes.com/sites/insertcoin/2018/11/09/red-dead-redemption-2-has-gtas-same-combat-problem-but-worse/ pretty crazy that rockstar gets a free pass for garbage gameplay for a decade now (gta4 = 2008), just because of the gee-whiz reaction to their open worlds. this is why ive sworn off all rockstar and bethesda games until they overhaul their engines/gameplay. passed on rdr1, skyrim, gta5, fo4, and now rdr2 and feel great about it Edited November 11, 2018 by Quad Damage Quote Link to post Share on other sites

madmaltese★ 2,699 Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 It's fair critique. In fact even outside of the shooting mechanics. For all the spectacular advancements they made in the open world, their core gameplay and mission structure is still very archaic. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lostfool 682 Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 I love GTA 5 but the shooting is awful and some of the mission structures are pretty archaic. The critique in this article is pretty spot on. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Goukosan 2,323 Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 I played RDR1 last gen and it bored me to tears. The environment was amazing, but the combat and game play mechanics were clunky ae fuck. Has RDR2 improved on the combat and game play mechanics? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's improved on everything except the combat and gameplay mechanics. It's such a strange situation because what they focused on improving they did so by such a margin where it legitimately makes every other game in comparison (in those facets) instantly outdated and yet the combat and gameplay mechanics got next to no improvements, making them outdated compared to other games.

Just looking for an excuse to shit on the game because it's better on X. If it were better on Sony's platform most of you wouldn't be making any complaints and praising the game to no end.
