Yeah and so much of it is pointless too. Okay so I can vaguely realistically skin animals then I have to manually put their skin on my horse. And then I have to manually go pick up the animal and put it on the back of my horse. Where magical ropes will appear and tie around it. I also just have infinite rope and can carry a mountain of weaponry. Because it's the most realistic game ever. But also not. But it is and therefore it's the best game!

Funny thing is, it's something you can do in about half an hour at most; code, textures, programming and all.

+brainflash1 - Oh, but it's Rockstar. If there is a weirdly ironic coincidence in or about their games, it's because they planned it, just to be ironic! ... ...Totally!

BlunderingFool And here we have somebody with no clue about gamedesign. With kind regards Somebody that has a clue about programming

@@blunderingfool Not siding with anyone on this but you'd have to 3d-model two pairs of horse testicles. One large, one small. You'd have to texture them which does take quite a while. You can't just make "brown texture" and slap it on there. All horses sort of have different color fur so they'd have to make different color textures. Then they'd need to make sure these textures go well with the 3d properties of horse balls. Next they would put it on there and then they'd need to code it in so that it reacts to the weather system. It's not that easy honestly.

+domino2515 - Quite so, and then there would be the inevitable glitches and movement realism issues and things like that, which take a while any time they pop up... and might pop back up after a code optimization, for instance, as I understand it. Depending on how you go about it, I guess, but programmers working on a video game tend to have a lot to do, so they might not always do everything perfectly (being human, after all). In closing, I strongly agree that it's not a simple thing; in cutting-edge big budget game development, I dare say very few things are simple or quick... even small things can be deceptively time-consuming, which is why we see all the delays and/or vague release dates on things. As they said at college, these things all tend to take longer than anyone planned for.

NakeyJakey did a vid all about the game's design. I recommend checking it out.

@@SPM0717 I actually did after watching this funny enough.

@@gabeslist They definitely need to look into it going forward, but I can't see them changing now. They like strict control on their narratives, but as Yahtzee says there's already dissonance between story and gameplay when Niko is using old ladies as car ramps, and Artur is tying old ladies to train tracks.

Generally, the rule for sandbox games has always been: Linear main-quest, open side-quests and activities. I don't really see a reason to change the formula. Yahtzee complains about this because he only plays story missions for his reviews, so the linearity makes him feel confined, I guess.

@@noxteryn Its more the issue of conflicting design philosophies that completely divide the game in half and honestly feels like you are playing 2 games. The story missions involve no skill other than: *Follow Instructions > Beat Game*

How is the Witcher any better at handling an open world than red dead

Zyron I have probably 100 hours in Vice City as a kid, and I never even touched a story mission. I would type in all the cheats, go on an hour long murder rampage until I was finally taken down, wake up at a hospital or police station, and do it all over again. I tried Red Dead 1 a few years ago, was enjoying the scenery, then noped the fuck out after I realized I would have to sit through an arduous cutscene, and then coral cows or follow some fuck on a horse for 20 minutes every time I wanted to do ANYTHING. And this is someone who sunk 60 hours into BotW, loving every second of it. I couldn't agree with you more. Rock Star is great at making immersive open worlds, and then they try to shove in a well-written novel with a crowbar. It fucking SUCKS.

Pokemon Have you played Bully?

RDR2 does feel like it's pulling me in two separate directions, even more than in other Rockstar games. On one hand, it's the "immersion" where you're not at the mercy of an NPC all the time, where you can go where you want to, and just admire the scenery and the details. Then there are the story missions, which don't only hold your hand, but they keep you in a stranglehold. It's often painful how little freedom or agency you have when you play them. Often you can't even stray away for 10 meters by accident without it failing the mission (even RDR1 was better in that regard). And whatever is happening, an NPC always tells you what to do, always bothering you like a nagging wife. If you don't do something in 1 second, they'll bitch at you immediately. The game might even change my weapons for me, because why not, everything else is decided for you already, and there's nothing really in there but a movie that pretends to be a game every now and then when you have to shoot 30 people from behind a cover. I got some horrible The Order 1886 flashbacks where the game just had to pretend that a cutscene is somehow playable, and the pretense only ruined the immersion further. The story itself is alright, the voice acting is very good and there's lot to like, but damned if the game isn't kicking itself - and my immersion - in the balls by being two entirely different games at once. They're like opposing forces. I like RDR2, because some things are just so damn well executed, but I don't like it as a game. I like it more as some weird relaxing digital walkabout in some pretty forest, and sometimes as a story, but as a game it's awfully conflicted.

Completely agree. I'm glad someone talks about this. Latest Rockstar games are always divided in two - extrém linear handholding story missions and impressive but aimless worlds. It's interesting how that completely differs from Ubisoft's open world philosophy of creating "experience playgrounds" in which player is free to play as they want. Rockstar=great writing and craftsmanship Ubisoft=great gameplay

I can back up the claim that it deserves a retro review

Meh... it's not that good. Great presentation, but stupid and irritating gameplay. How about 10 body hits to a single bad guy and they get back up and get a head shot? How about a kick attack that doesn't knock down? How about spotty collision detection that allows a bad guy to stand slightly above you while every round you have goes straight through him? Ultimately there's just too many faults. Even the story is so forgettable as it's completely disjointed. I got half way through and gave up.

Games are becoming such long chores nowadays. Devs need to start focusing on well-paced under-20-hours experiences.

That's awesome

Actually I can play GTA for hundreds of hours without doing the story

@Ronin Martinez I'm a side content junkie, but I'm talking more about basic game mechanics. I find Rockstar's combat mechanics to be serviceable. It gets the job done, but it's nothing special. So I'm not mucking about in the open world like I do in Saint's Row where I habitually cause random mayhem because there's so many ways to go about it. I don't need scripted content to stay engaged.

Did you ever play it?

@@gravynavy516 , besides... He loves this word. Watch Sims review...

alright thanks for clearing it out for me

I think it's the oft-debated balance of gameplay vs immersion. Some games are very obviously "video gamey" for lack of a better word, but are a blast to play. Others are immersive and interactive as hell, but have mechanics based in realism that might detract from the gameplay experience for some. Whether any game does both excellently is a matter of opinion.

I mean good for you why would you care for others opinions if you like it

Gaudaloht it’s called social media. Where we speak to each other. Hence, why you bothered to comment.

@@TheSwabbyOne y u being a dick bro

John Dough no I’m not. It is social media. It’s where we all give opinions. I gave one and then was met with, “good for you if you like it. Why you have a problem with someone else’s opinion?” (Paraphrasing) uhhh...that’s kind of the point. I can be a dick and talk about how sensitive you and him are acting over a differing opinion if you like. Or I can stick to the fact that I just gave a disagreement. I like the game. It’s not a big deal to say so.

"Better clean the shit and mud off my Borchardt C-93 pistol I should have no realistic way of acquiring!"

For the sake of immersion I want as much detail as possible. It's crazy to think about all the work they put into the little things like horse poop, but it's also those little things that can suck you in and make you forget you're playing a game. This is one of the few games that actually surprised me with the level of detail, most games I wonder "will this be like real life" and the answer will be no, but with this game the answer has been yes almost every time. For example, I threw a body on my camp fire not really expecting anything to happen, but the body caught fire and the fire slowly spread until the body was burnt. Another example, an escaped convict approached me as I was riding along asking for me to shoot his shackles off, but I wanted to see what would happen if I hogtied him an brought him into town. I took him to the sheriff and he actually paid me for my trouble! This game is truly a masterpiece, I don't care what anyone says.

I think the attention to detail paid off in spades. I've never felt more in tune with an open world.

I think you might have missed the entire game other than the story missions I know it's all based on opinions, but how do you manage to say that the game is "an inch deep" when even maintaining your weapons changes the experience. Do you only play overwatch and dota 2 and expect the story and depth to be presented on cards while you shoot things?

@@nonautemrexchristus5637 are you serious? Like, I don't even understand the origin of this line of questioning. I did literally everything in the game. And I do mean literally, I was very very meticulous. It's got a great World, Rockstar is excellent at world-building, but for the most part the gameplay is utterly generic. The shooting is exactly the same as it has been in every single Rockstar game for as long as I can remember. the stealth is only useful in an extremely limited number of scenarios. The survival elements aren't expanded enough upon, and even if they were that's still not anything original or new or exciting. Other than that the gameplay consists of hunting, which is mostly random chance, unless you're going after legendaries then it's just follow the waypoints. A bunch of mini games, and that's pretty much it. other than that, it's spending hours on a horse enjoying some very gorgeous scenery, and exploring this very Well realize world. But a game is supposed to be a game before anything else. And Red Dead Redemption 2 is a cinematic experience before it is a game.

@@nonautemrexchristus5637 and I have literally never played OverWatch or DotA

@@nonautemrexchristus5637 what do you mean by maintaining your weapons changes the experience? Like... Barely. Only to the point that it's an annoyance. I can play the entire game after smashing one of my thumbs with a hammer and it would change the experience, doesn't make it positive

@@lilianahudler4378 it's a small detail, that's the point I'm making. They put a lot of effort into the game even into small details, but you dismiss them as annoying and not worth it?
