Algonquin Assassin Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Not at all. I still feel like I'm only scratching the surface of what the game has to offer. I bought the collector's edition strategy guide the other day and it puts into perspective how little I've actually uncovered.

stevo irwin19 Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Not gonna lie the start of the game was for me all that tutorial stuff for me was boring af but I get why it was there but once you get to free roam there is never a dull moment PhotomodePNG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAS_Intruder Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 It wasn't boring but at the same time it wasn't challenging enough which some could confuse with game being boring. saintsrow and Tommy1233 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woggleman Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Some people expected V with horses but we got something similar to IV which is why most of this forum loves it. HockeyMike24, Shadowfennekin, Horrid_Saiyam and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brose_sfr Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 yes, and it's fantastic! after 5 years in a GTA war zone, i'm loving to snails pace i'm going. i dig the action, but i also like sitting on a train and waiting for the cinematic view to kick in.

Lonely-Martin Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 (edited) You know you're asking a forum mostly made up of fans of this game, right? Only a few idiots come here just to put the game down*, IMHO. (*Constructive critism I don't count as a put down). Of course not.

SAS_Intruder Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 It's not about challenges and medals it is not challenging in a way that is very hard to get killed. I don't feel real urgency during a gunfight and I don't remember being killed in any of main story missions. I never used health portions and I never used Dead Eye unless it was scripted. Definitely the easiest game I have ever played that involves shooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woggleman Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 I predict the next Rockstar game will be very arcadey like V. They gave people on this forum the game they wanted and you saw what the outside world thinks of it. Let's face the fact that the majority of people want arcadey and over the top action. Saints Row is what most people want an open world game to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josephene123 Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Nope. In contrast, this has all the levels of world interaction that I had desperately wanted but never got out of GTA V. I've played so many hours, yet I'm not even half way through the story because I just keep getting lost.

woggleman Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 I swear this forum is like bizarro world. RDR2 is truly the GTA IV it's generation and by the end of the year it won't even in the top 5 of most of the mainstream public's game of the year. Most people I hear rate even AC Odyssey higher.

Edward Nashton Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 There are long stretches of down time between the action during the first two chapters, at a minimum that’s about 8-10 hours. If you want to play the way the game encourages you to play, keeping up your cores, hunting, contributing to the camp etc. it’s going to be a lot longer than that. There is a high barrier to entry for this game because it asks for a lot of patience from the player - I mean, you’re given a tutorial on how to buy a gun during the final stages of chapter two ffs. So, I don’t blame people for thinking this game is boring. in fact, I’m glad because it’s scaring away all the idiot meat-heads that jumped aboard because of GTAO Once you reach mid to late chapter three, that’s when the game starts to feel more like it’s predecessor - you have a good handle on all the systems and mechanics, there are a ton of activities and side quests available to you, and the story starts heading in an interesting direction. So, the game can be very boring at first, but it definitely picks up later on. The question might be: Does the game take too long to really get going?

Shadowfennekin Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Not at all! Getting the challenges and the "Squirrel Statue" achievement though.... yeah, it's like GTA where you're trying to get something to spawn but it won't spawn and after you don't need it.... everywhere again!(Looking at those annoying cougars). Woodpeckers are being a real bitch for me right now, can't seem to find them The game's not boring to play through in the slightest though, I loved everything about the story and it was nice to get a somewhat realistic story again after GTA V and TBOGT. And a campaign that you can't finish within 3 days All the 100% requirements are more annoying than GTA V was though tbh, but hey.... at least you actually get REWARDED for all of the collectible lines. It's not like every other R* game where only the Rubberband ball and Space Docker are rewards Algonquin Assassin, Lonely-Martin and psymin 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meekail Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 A lot of people call the game boring based solely on the first two chapters - which I get. Many parts of it are slow-paced and mainly exist to get you settled in. I feel like many people went in to this game thinking like it was gonna be GTA 5 with every mission being an epic shoot-out.

To me one of the greatest missions in R*'s history occurred in the first couple of chapters. "A quiet time" That is all.

Definitely the easiest game I have ever played that involves shooting. Far more to R* games though. You set yourself up for disappointment by only playing half the game. Your half satisfied. It's short and easy. Platinum shouldn't be too hard once online is up. But the 70 gold medals is all about perfecting the combat. Let's see it... Just that easy, quick, one you got.

Old Man With No Name Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 No. GTA V is the boring one. maybe the game is slow. Horse riding, realistic systems like stanima core, eating. But i can always find things to do. Even if i complete the game %100. But in GTA V, when you complete the game %100 there is nothing to do except chasing by the police while wearing %100 completed t shirt tonko, Dangerous and sad and Edward Nashton 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johan Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Chapter 1 yes. Chapters 2-4 no Chapter 5 yes Chapter 6 no The rest, yes. While the story was at the highest point for me in the middle, I still enjoyed visiting every single corner of the map and finally achieving the 100% completion trophy this morning. The voice acting was superb, the activities are amazing whether it's fishing or simply playing poker, it's a game I'll be playing more than GTAV which is saying a lot because I despised that game.

R*Phenomenon Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 (edited) Best game in years! and im very glad this is not for the Fortnite, BF and COD kids.. i miss em like tootache. When you want to complete all challenges and side missions 100% and get it done before christmas you simply got too much time on your hands i guess.. Ive read alot of secrets , easter eggs and secret side missions in the guide and the amount of content next to the story is massive.
