I should have known better, as the whole cowboy genre is terrible as fuck. Westerns (as boomer Americans call the genre) have the slowest dialogue, the corniest patriarchal story-line, and are obviously filled with a heap ton of other problematic bits. Of course, I had to try as the game got great reviews. I thought I'd try it with the Steam summer sale.

Fuckkkkkkkk the long boring ass cut scenes. OMG pls talk faster and have dialogue that's interesting. The beginning of the game is just 30 minutes of video and riding your horse so slowly through the snow. I thought that my TikTok brain couldn't stand some old slow game from a bygone era, but I'm checking this shit and it was released in 2018!

If I was some prat who loved the mythology of the "settling of the west", a game with a white dude on a horse on a mountain would get me hard. Why can't more games be like Atomic Heart? I wanna defend the land of Stalin and have cut scenes with ~~good dialogue~~ a talking glove that debates theory and a sexy refrigerator that probably wants to murder me.

I didn't take it personally. I'm half joking (I do think it's a silly comparison still).

Why are you up and down this thread taking up for the game? I'm not trying to be rude, but it seems like you're taking it more personally than I am.

I said elsewhere in the thread. No game is perfect.

taking up for the game

I liked the game I thought that was obvious. I only asked because it didn’t seem like a comment worth getting mad about? I thought it was funny.

I'm half joking

Sure buddy

I get that you liked the game. (Yes it's obvious) I like games that have been dissed here before as well. I don't waste my time defending them in threads for an hour. Just kind of weird to identify so strongly with a piece of media (to me anyways)

Anyways you breaking down my post like some actual reddit guy with quotes tells me you're at least somewhat mad.

So I'm going to end the convo here. Have a nice day chief

If you’re going to disengage then actually do it.

Can we at least be friends? I'm sorry.

I prefer Elden Ring and Bloodborne for my Modern games, you prefer Rdr2. That's fine.
