Why are there so many boring, tedious mechanics in this game? Shaving, cleaning, haircuts, eating, horse grooming, etc this shit feels like a chore to play. What's the point of this monotony?

The opposite actually.
It's the opposite. Zoomers are its fanbase.
this
>the other replies
the zoomers really don't know about their adhd huh
"immersion"
Go back playing fortnite
the game you love is a boring chore to people of all ages
rdr1 is infinitely more fun
enjoy your homosexual movie game
that's not the problem the problem is they forget to add gameplay on top of it, doing all that shit is like the core of the game. i could boot it right now and maybe enjoy it for 5 minutes then force myself through a mission or something then feel relieved when I get to quit. this game is work and not entertainment.
i am not playing as an outlaw cowboy. i'm playing as someone's lackey in a movie game who kills people and then passes modern political oriented judgment on others for inane shit. for a game pushing immersion it's immersion breaking. arthur morgan is a cuck. john was superior in every way. he was an anti-hero and he didn't give a frick,
>Shaving, cleaning, haircuts, eating, horse grooming, etc
What's wrong with any of this?
i dont do half that shit irl why would i do them in a game?
I know right imagine how fricking amazing it would be to need to groom your fricking video game character from head to toe every time you wake up in every video game man wouldn't that be so much fun you moronic moron
Being required to do it EVERY time gets really tedious, fast.
Combined with the slow, clunky, console UI, even on PC and you don't ever feel like you're having fun.
>he doesn't get it
Sad.
You don't have to do most of these things so what's the issue?
casuals love their "attention to detail" and "realism"
this. back in 2018, real gamers enjoyed blacks ops 4 for its no-bullshit all-game approach for a small price of only 60 dollars. rdr2 is normalgay fast-food trashcore.
You don't have to do this shit if you don't want to.
Immersion you moron.
>buzzword
>FULL. FRICKEN. STOP!
lmao sassy little homosexual b***h
>moviegame, online roleplaying mechanics
>not for zoomers
what, moron?
zoomers can't watch a video longer than a tiktok vid nor read a book longer than a tweet.
I live how tiktok cemented gen z brainrot as fact
they add to the realism of the sandbox element. you remove all of that, and what do you have? the braindead story missions?
>the braindead story missions?
there's nothing to do outside of the story missions.
plenty of stuff to do if you're not a bot
Every mission.
>Mount your horse.
>Follow character and listen to them talk. (Use cinematic mode if you cba following)
>Get to destination. Game will dismount you automatically.
>Watch cutscene. If you had the foresight to pick your prefered weapons before they're now replaced with weapons the game decides.
>Stand here. Shoot bad guys
>More talking and cutscenes.
Outside of missions the game is far too controlling of your experience. The open world is great, it would have been nice to actually play in it.
>every mission is wrapped up with the main character shaking his head and saying "Im getting too gosh darn old for all these crazy shootouts", then its all completely forgotten
amazing writing
its actually ludonarrative 4th wall breaking. its deep and somehow profund.
>The open world is great, it would have been nice to actually play in it.
Let me guess, NakeyJakey's "Rockstar's Game Design is Outdated" video?
No and I don't know who that is. I posted
.
The plants not spawning happened to me first and I didn't know why (untill I looked it up). I later spent a few ingame days with a never ending thunder storm. I was hunting bird feathers and they dont spawn during rain/at night.
I could accept the missions being ridged and controlled but after learning about the spawns and weather, everything felt like everything was probably scripted. Even if it wasn't. The sandbox stopped feeling like a living world to me.
you forgort cooking, and hoenstly cooking is the only tedious mechanic, unless you count the "ambient"/freeroam music as a mechanic, because that feels tedious every time it starts playing... stupid as fricking 20 second violin hillbilly shit rdr1 ambient sounds were wayyyyy better, and that's an undeniable fact
Until you get to a mission and the soundtrack suddenly becomes fricking amazing.
Also hate the trend on needing to be online in order to play single player. You need permission to play a game you 'own'. If you loose connection and try to load/save you get sent back to the main menu and told to buy the game.....on a title menu screen,
MUH MASTER RACE
everything about navigating the terrible menu's and crafting was garbage
ammo? fricking 1 at a time, some ammo's can be stored in the hundreds
cooking? 1 at a time
bag and it's items? a complete cluster frick, that let you sell unique shit with no way to buy back
save/load system? a joke, you will load in at a different time, in a different place, with different weather and events happening around you
>different weather
Unless you've got the Marko Dragic/Robot side quest to do. Everyday will be a thunderstorm untill you vist him.
The side quest for the exotic plants does something similar. If you need 5 ghost orchids, for example, they will stop spawning once you've collected 4. Untill you start the side quest that requires them. The open world sandbox is a ridged controlled 'experience' (even without the dumb honor systems which punishes you for not playing the game how the devs want you to)
You don't need to do any of those ever and haircuts after 2 weeks in the bush are kino
You forgot shit cleaning. There's a mission with John where you have to press buttons in order to clean horse shit or whatever. I can't believe I fell for the meme and bought this piece of shit prequel.
basically rockstar hired a bunch of psychologists to get them to understand how to manipulate people into enjoying gameplay without actually having to design something actually interesting. And one of the first things they tested was of course the dreaded "smash button to sprint" rockstar staple. What they found was that smashing buttons to do an action fools the brain into thinking it's having fun when it's not. So what did they do? they designed tons of systems to waste the player's time with funny inputs to "fool" players into thinking they're accomplishing something. This is sort of the pinnacle of shit game design outside of feature bloat
nu-Rockstar games are interactive movies full of pointless shit for people to drool over le epic technical capabilities and simulator elements, to hide the fact their actual gameplay is barebones and on the rails shit.
Onlines even funnier because half that shit isnt implemented or doesnt fully function.

Oh look another autistic Rockstar seethe thread. Sorry you guys are afraid of playing multiplayer games.
>so desperate to suck dick he jumps on the first mention of online
>reply doesnt even match with what was said
>just gonna deepthroat that dildo while shaking fist at the scarecrows standing around
>and not even get a (you) out of it.
Senior game design student about to graduate here. Just letting you know that rockstar games are generally considered to be a joke in the more elite gaming circles, hopefully GTA6 will fix it
With Jones and Dan Houser leaving and taking Lazlow with them, I've not much faith in Rockstar's future.
It's to establish a sense of "realism" which is totally not broken by your black best friend Lenny, you Indian best friend Charles and Super Sadie taking on 3 men at a time (heh).
Made by people who don't play games who think: things to do = fun.
you can ignore all of those things, it's not mandatory
>game advertises itself as a cowboy simulator sandbox
>(You) get mad that you’re doing cowboy things and life in 1920 is too boring
Here’s a secret: RDR2 is meant to be played online while blazed with friends, if you aren’t playing like that you’re doing it wrong. It’s about putting yourself into cowboy boots and immersing yourself into the world. If your idea of video games is BING BING WAHOO then RDR2 isn’t for you.
you sound moronic
>the games ment to be played on DUDE WEED LMAO with friends, so you dont mind the half implemented/broken mess that is online and laugh the 10th time the chinese kid dynamite arrows you
hmmm...
no.
