Is there a mod for this that cuts out all the fiddliness and just lets you do the fun stuff? I got maybe 10h into it but it was still teaching me new controls and mechanics… Idgaf about crafting, funding the camp and horse husbandry, I just want to ride around shooting bad hombres and do the story like rdr1… Is this just not the game for me?
I made it to the end since it was one of the only games I had at the time. Felt like the entire game was a riding horses and talking simulator. It’s so tiring going through the main story. Was ultimately disappointed in the end. Felt like they wanted to make a movie more than a game.
This is my sentiment with all recent Rockstar games.
Fantastic settings, great stories, but so much bloat. It’s cool that there’s so much stuff to do, but all the interruptions from actually playing the game are so tiresome.
This was kinda me too, hence me stopped play it after some 20h in, and let it rest for half a year… recently I decided to give it another go, and when you get the hang of the huge amount of controls in this game, ie; when you can play “smooth” with the controls and the animations that come with them different button clicks, it’s such a game changer (at least for me).
Not gonna lie, it took me about 30-40 hours to get comfortable and be productive/effective with how to play this game (these kind of games aren’t my goto though, I’m more of a Tetris guy, haha)
Interesting to know though. It sounds bananas in a way though doesn’t it… Like a workweek of training to get good enough to just functionally play a game seems crazy to me, (no judgement!)
Agree. But again, I’m not used to these kind of games so the average player might get the hang of it in a couple of hours… (plus, the first 20:ish hours I mostly just took it all in, the views, the atmosphere of it, like a digital walk in the nature… time just went by)

You can finish the game without crafting or funding the camp. You’re just locking yourself out of useful items and upgrades.

I do love a western though
That’s why I enjoyed it. I have a thing for borderline interactive movie games because I love movies.

You don’t have to do any of that other stuff. Is ancillary. The game will reward you for it, but it’s completely unnecessary.
