Comment on Red Dead Redemption 2 was amazing.
Leax@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 week agoGreat video. While I respect the crazy amount of work that went into RDR2, I found the story dumb and the gameplay on rail very boring. I’m always surprised when people are raving about it.

For my criticisms of that game, which mostly match that video, the story isn’t one of them. I’d call it one of the best the medium has to offer.

Oh really? That “one more heist” story? :) I liked the ending, but the first half didn’t resonate at all.

A one more heist story where it was clear it was never going to be one more heist, and the band dissolved itself over a lack of real leadership. As opposed to the trope, where it’s one more heist that goes wrong. I take it back; I do have a critique of the story. Act 4, on the island, was a detour from anything that had anything to do with the main plot. Other than that though, I thought it was fantastic.

Fair enough!
