Now I keep getting gunned down by bounty hunters. I need $200 to clear my name so I can trim my fucking beard. I’m beginning to think it was a terrible idea to gun down the first town I encountered.

yeah I’m definitely getting Red Dead 2… I want to make the main character into the most the biggest, most dishonorable asshole scoundrel possible.
I was also watching a stream earlier, and saw that there’s a situation where you can make a big pile of pigshit explode all over someone. THAT right there, man…that was the final straw that helped sell this. It’s a guaranteed buy for me now. Hog shit blew up all over that dude, man…I couldn’t stop laughing.

To get all 150 horses in Red Dead Redemption 2, you got to trade with someone who has Blue Dead Redemption 2

It wasn’t a bad idea. I would’ve done the same.
Think I’m going to save this game for next-generation though. Shenmue, Yakuza and Zelda are the only open worlds I’m messing with the rest of this gen after I finish Nier:A (which I think is open world?).
I just did that part, LOL!
So I’m tracking down some old legendary gunslingers and on the way there’s a caged wagon being driven by two lawmen. In the cage is a Mexican woman crying for help and as I pass the lawmen are laughing and saying to watch out for the dangerous Mexican. So I turn around and murder the two lawmen, shoot the lock on the cage to free the woman, and drag the bodies into a ditch so no witnesses can report it. Then I steal the wagon and dive down the railroad tracks for a few miles before abandoning it for a train to hit.
This was all from a random encounter! This game is so amazing.

Hah, I thought I was the only one who didn’t like last-gens Red Dead. I felt the same way - I was bored to death playing that game.
I’d take a new GTA over RDR any day, but I can see this entire generation ending before we see a new game in that series.

I went to a town to clear a $15 bounty.
Ended up turing into a $55 bounty just by accidentally steam rolling a civilian while on my horse.

I didn’t like the first RDR either it was boring to me too. But I also don’t like GTA. Well I haven’t liked it since San Andreas. RDR2 looks pretty good though I’ll probably get it around BF if it’s $20.

I could never get into GTA, the structure of how the missions went in the past never appealed to me.
With other open world games, you take on a mission or task, you have some structure to it, something to keep you occupied. GTA missions to me felt like a shopping list of things to check off and nothing more.
Also just so I don’t double post
The only good GTA is vice city. Everything about that game was perfect to me. RDR was boring as shit to me and I didn’t play it long (thankfully I got it from a friend and didn’t spend my own money) and rdr2 doesn’t appeal to me In the slightest

Wait this RDR2 actually has 2 bluray discs? Is this the first game to do this?
They couldn’t fit all the mediocrity on one disc.

There are at least three of us, then.
EDIT:
Just saw Stu’s post.
Colour me d’Artagnan.
I just don’t really like open world games. Sure there is a lot to do but if none of it is interesting than is it really worth doing? That was my main issues I had with games like Arkham City and Arkham Knight. Sure there was a fuck ton to do but it was all very tedious and very boring.
I think Breath of the Wild was one of the worst offenders. It was just a vast plane of nothingness except for temple side quests that were super boring. You could find side quests in villages but were they really worth doing? No. Not really. WHAT ABOUT COOKING? What about it?
Just ugh, I more-or-less hate open world games. Last one I played that I really enjoyed was inFamous Second Son.

Yeah I’m just not an open world fan that much either. I did however like Zelda a lot. I’m not sure why but it was just tons of fun exploring every nook and cranny of that game. And I loved the new God of War, which is somewhat open world. So I don’t know why I’m biased towards some and not others. I also loved Burnout Paradise and Forza Horizon, although not the new ones because its more of the same shit.
The formula for GTA, Saints Row, and back when every game needed to be open world, just felt very similar in all games and very generic.

I didn’t like Spider-Man much either. I got past the prologue and did a few story missions but it really was just the same as every other open World game. I don’t know what I was expecting but I was expecting something different.
I only dislike open world games if they fill their games with busy work and not substantial content. Arkham series GTA and Yakuza never had this problem are those games have real side quests with their own stories and characters. It’s not like Mad Max and every Ubisoft game where the sidequests is doing a repetitive action X amount of times for no other reason other than just to do it.

I like Yakuza because the world interacts with you in so many ways and the side quests actually add to the over all story and aren’t there just to be something to do.

I think Borderlands does open world best.
The quests are not fetch most of the time, but story based, and the rewards, even when fetch, are varied and often substantial to game changing in their value.
I felt that way with Borderlands 1 but with 2 I was just very “uuuggfhhh why” the entire time. I didn’t even bother playing Pre-Sequel
