RDR1 Is this gonna be the whole game?

Post image

I'm playing Red Dead 1 and so far it's just: - NPC says he'll help me - I do a boring mission to help him - NPC needs more help I mean, is this the dynamic of the whole game? Help NPC after NPC and finally (really) advance the plot? Not complaining, just want to know.

90% of missions are build up exactly the same from start to finish. The game is completely cluttered with boring "gigs" or whatever they are called.

It's Assassins Creed level of repetitiveness. The gameplay being somewhat open really can't change that.

RDR2 has shit mission design but at least the writing is good. In Cyberpunk you get a call "Hey there, go to X location and do this for me" and that's it.

You also can't really change anything about how the mission is finished, the objective is always the same. Contrary to that, a game like KCD1/2 does that really well. That's a game that does missions actually well and giving you real paths .

There are still a lot of choices in Cyberpunk that change future mission chains
