This story is set "before" the last game, so it doesn't matter. What kind of games do you like? I'm enjoying the hell out of it, I'm also taking my time and enjoying the story, exploring the map, doing "side quests". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the story completely 100% pre determined? I never see the point of that if I can just watch all the cutscenes. Anything to do outside of the story?

The shooting is basically a western version of GTA. Story is not pre-determined, by my understanding, I think there are 3 endings although I'm afraid to google to confirm. There's a ton to do outside of the story (including online, which has it's own story), but after about 30hrs I will say I think the story is the strongest part of the game after the actual world itself. Which is the prettiest video game I've ever seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything to do outside of the story? The story is pre-determined. You could just watch all the cutscenes, sure. It is a living world though, and there are tons of side missions to do. The game is pretty much GTA set in the Wild West, as everyone says. Horses are slower, but the game is gorgeous. I do find that a lot of the missions as you get further in the game just involve you shooting way more people than you should have to. Why don't you spend a half hour and watch a Let's Play on youtube and see if you think you'd like it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Game is great and is probably one of the best games of 2018. That said its definitely slower paced then GTA or really most 3rd person games. with that though I would say it totally engrosses you in this world like no game other than BOTW or the Last of Us have done for me.

Ty21 Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 I tell you what, if I’m the 14th guard chasing after Arthur and the first 13 guards all get killed with one shot headshots, I’m probably not gonna keep chasin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BullsandBroncos Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 So I bought the pump shotgun and decked it all out with all the upgrades. WOW. When getting chased, quickly dispatching all opponents is rather easy. More of a joke actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More of a joke actually. This has been my biggest grip with Rockstar's last 4 releases: too easy. Your character is a bullet sponge yet you can one- or two-shot every NPC enemy. I really wish you could tweak incoming damage so that 3-4 shots kill you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is great because it would also have way less enemies. The hordes are too unrealistic for such a detailed game.

bucsfan333 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Realistic combat is always fun to talk about until an enemy gets a headshot and kills you with one hit. Or fights take forever because enemies are all also healing. Or enemies actually have the AI to flank and make some fights impossible.
