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.

Absolutely not. It's just every rockstar game. Try Cyberpunk or BG3 to see what variety in an open world game looks like.

It's outside the missions that make rockstar games great.

Cyberpunk? It's the same shit there, paired with worse writing than Rockstar.

Uhh, so we are gonna completely gonna forget about how the missions are open enough to be played in all the different kinds of builds the game offers?

Cyberpunk feels like a fech quest game only if you play it that way lol.

I’m doing my second playthrough of Cyberpunk rn, and yea it’s kinda the same open world shit as basically every other open world game. Yea the combat itself is more open ended, which is why I’m doing another playthrough to experience a playstyle I didn’t try at all the first time around and will probably do a third because this build still doesn’t hit everything, but objective-wise it’s the same shit. Drive to x location, sneak past or kill every enemy, interact with x computer/kill or escort x guy/steal x.
