Was the game really that good?
Quote from: Verbatim on October 18, 2016, 11:48:59 AMWas the game really that good?It was phenomenal. The characters, the story, the themes, and the setting were unreal. There's an element of charm to the game that I can't say I've ever experienced with anything else I've ever played. It's such an immersive experience to go through the game for the first time and gradually explore the world they give to you, and see how the story unfolds. The good thing is, assuming you aren't just trying to blaze through everything and take your time to run around and do other activities, the game can take you a full twenty-four hours to complete, even more if you're really trying for all of the challenges and awards. It's the only game that I find so enjoyable that I can play it over and over without getting sick of it, no matter how many times I do a run-through.Really, what set this game apart from anything else is the atmosphere and setting. It was released in 2009, and it looks better than the majority of titles I see being released nowadays. You legitimately feel like you're in the Old West when you're playing the game, and I can honestly say there are times I play it solely for the purpose of riding around and looking at the vistas. Everything feels... Legitimate. You can tell that the artists spent an unbelievable amount of time making sure that every little detail in the game feels like it belongs in a Western setting. Everything about this game is fantastic. I fell in love with it the second I started playing.
First impressions of the trailer have me thinking we're returning to the same place. The oil field next to Bill's Fort, the swamp area near Blackwater, the rocky formations of Mexico and the trainline with bulls outside Blackwater are all shown.Seeing as it's not a remaster, the bison being there (considering there's an achievement for making them go extinct in RDR) could mean it's in the past...?
