Preach man. Like I said in a comment above - I have completed 33% of the game content and 20% of the story, and all I am thinking is I wish there was more, and I am also dreaming of DLCs, and Red Dead Redemption 3, because I know this last 66% and 80% aren’t gonna be enough - and people complain because it’s too much?

I don’t get the complaints. RDR2 might be one of the best realized open worlds out there but in the end it is still a video game so getting a video game type reward from an NPC seems right.

I am no sure what else could have happened in some of these interactions for them to seem more real.

I can’t, for the life of me, understand how anyone that has actually played this game could make this type of criticism.  

I kinda get what you’re going for, but I don’t think I agree. In a totally realistic game, not every good deed would lead to a reward. Maybe the person you saved doesn’t have anything to give you, maybe they’re just an asshole, maybe they get killed by random marauders before they get back into town. But at the same…

Ok I’m gonna be honest I still don’t know what the issue is. I just started playing the game so maybe I haven’t noticed yet. The example you gave of finding the guy bitten by a snake sounds awesome. You helped the guy and it paid off much later. I think your argument about the NPCs seeming like dolls, it’s weird since…

Gamestop employee here. Legit had a dad trading in his two son’s switches for the fortnite ones. Tried to talk him out of it, but he said it was worth paying a hundred bucks each for the exclusive skins. I'm still confused.

I’ve posted the same train of thought of other pages (I’m sure you could check my history, along with my brain breaking posts about living in this hellscape of USA)…but THIS is the thing that drives me away from WWE.

You’re missing the point: If they were just running a regular show for regular paying civilian fans in Saudi Arabia without government involvement, it would be a non-issue, just as it was a few years ago. Taking the money and doing propaganda for them is the escalation.

$hocking!

I assume Saudi Arabi is paying for Cena to win an 18 on 1 match, just to show how dangerous one man can be.

Nah, it all works fine, in my opinion. I have accidentally pulled my gun on people but that’s part of the fun of something like this.

You’re no slouch yourself, Jason. ;)

Seconding this!

Kirk, this is easily the best game review I’ve ever read, but also the best writing of any kind that I’ve read on this website. I enjoyed your creative narrative prose over the the technical trappings of FPS and other “data.”

Much like God of War, this is a title I had no real interest in but the critical reaction has made me sit up and take notice.

I was in a serious car accident once. I had to swerve to miss an oncoming car veering into my lane, and I ended up running into a culvert at 50 mph. We ended up on our side, and we had to climb out the driver’s side windows. There were four of us, and the worst injury among us was a scraped shin. I made sure everyone…

I don’t even cry in the shower because I use baby shampoo, OKAY?!
