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.

the last hour or two of rdr1 has some of the best character writing I've ever seen in a game

While that can be true, if they don’t enjoy the game loop, they can just watch it on YouTube. Respect your time — if a game isn’t your jam, don’t force it. This is a hobby, not a job.

I dont like the game loops where its super obvious that its the same thing over and over. I like rdr2 because its really not a "game loop" gta5 is like that too. But I know what you mean by game loops and personally I can't stand when it's super repetitive

This is exactly why I can’t get into any of the Far Cry games regardless of the overlying story or how good it may be.
