In case that is referring to me, I never said to anyone that they would get used to the controls. I just said that I personally got used to them. How the controls impact others is their own business.

I don't think so. I gave an example of how it impacted me. I think people are looking at prior Rockstar games as if they didn't have similar problems. I never said it's not an issue. I'm just saying you guys are complaining about some things that have been inherent to Rockstar games - clunky controls has always been one of them. Do I want them to improve controls? Sure. But if it was that much of an issue for me, I would just stop playing and move on to the next.

I also remembered how much fun I had with GTA 5 till I actually tried playing it again last month to get the collectibles for RDR2 The nostalgia goggles have a nice way of playing tricks on you. I'm sure if I kept playing I'd get used to the controls again of GTA 5 but it was not fun trying to drive around with the shitty car controls after not playing for a few years. Targeting too.

It does not change the fact that his description of what the game boils down to is the same description you can apply to all Rockstar games. And again I go back to RDR1 - you're comparison of GTA 5 to RDR2 is the same comparison you can make to RDR1 I get why people don't like the game - it's obviously not for everyone. But when people completely ignore how Rockstar has handled previous games thinking RDR2 would be a completely different game then that's what I don't understand.

"That being said, the ultra-restrictive main mission designs are already grating. 50% riding (aka holding X), 40% cutscenes/slow walking/blabbering, 9% tutorial and 1% cool gameplay...every damn time." This is what I was commenting on - you described every Rockstar game since GTA 3. And RDR1 wasn't that so much more "fun" in traversing the map. Really the only difference with RDR1 vs RDR2 when it comes to what you described is that the map is much larger in RDR2 so obviously "such crazy travel" is going to be required. Another way to get around would be great but unless I'm not remembering correctly the only two options you had to get around in RDR1 were your horse and stage coach with a world that felt more empty vs rdr2.

Have you played other rockstar games? Because you just described GTA as well with differences really down to mode of transportation and setting Not sure what people were expecting if they played previous Rockstar games

I've had similar issues as others with controls but I'm addicted to the game. Not sure how many times I said I'd quit but keep going back I've barely done anything in chapter 3 but spent a lot of time hunting and running into strangers / doing side missions. Part of the reason is because of a bug... Sadie, Jack, Abigail and Bill are all missing from camp for me. It's a confirmed bug and it's pretty annoying enough to me that I don't really want to continue the main story till its addressed. I also ran into another bug where I can't hunt the legendary buck because of the "too much activity message" even though I tried so many things at this point to address that. I will say though - controls are not that much different than Rockstar games. I tried playing V again to get the freebies for RDR2 and I didn't remember how bad the driving was and the aiming really isn't much different

lol i got stuck and thought I tried all buttons - ended up killing one of the horses to get a retry checkpoint

tip: you can find something in the burnt town near the first camp. easy to miss but there is something there....

Ah ok what purpose do the serve? Do you get a bonus? Do you have to complete all for 100%?

The sub objectives? It's just the website from what it seems. And from that, I've done pretty poorly in meeting the objectives hah Doesn't seem like I can upload pictures but just go to the website... https://socialclub.rockstargames.com/games/rdr2/story

So Rockstar's social club website keeps track of status of each mission - anyone know what the purpose is? Each mission has sub objectives which lead to bronze, silver, gold medals. In game, I haven't seen anything about bonuses

The companion app is out - pretty rad that you can see yourself and the people you're with on the map. It might have been like that too for gta 5 - I forget

Embargo lifts tomorrow at 7am ... at least that's when Variety is posting its review anyway

Yeah I noticed that. Some are silly though - one house for 250k had several super spins but then a 350k had only a regular

Anyone know if you can buy the VIP pass and if you decide later to buy the Ultimate upgrade you can pay the difference?

That can easily be influence farming from mixer (I've been doing it myself). I don't get how some of you have so much money. I've played a bit and even with all the spins from mixer farming I still have only about 6mm. But... 1) I haven't sold any cars. 2) I have spent 1mm on cars - 500k was an accident...unlocking a barn find early...pissed me off 3) Tunes 4) One house - 750k but made the money back from super spins Otherwise, I can't imagine how long it will take me to unlock all the houses at this point.

I've read that the mailing list stuff is pretty much broken. I've seen complaints on playstation's forums of people confirming they no longer receive any psn emails even though they are signed up for it

If I'm going to spend a lot of time with a game, I need the story to be good enough to justify the time. Probably a deal breaker for me

FYI - it's cheaper with ps plus https://slickdeals.net/f/12084247-castlevania-requiem-symphony-of-the-night-rondo-of-blood-ps4-pre-order-sale-for-ps-15-99?utm_source=feedly&utm_content=fp&utm_medium=RSS2

Drops same day as RDR2...I can wait till Black Friday in case the price drops a little. Definitely will get this though as I never played the originals

https://www.gamespot.com/articles/castlevania-symphony-of-the-night-rondo-of-blood-c/1100-6462051/ This includes 4K/1080p upscaling, multiple high resolution backgrounds, different rendering options such as smoothing and full Trophy support." Requiem will also utilize the DualShock 4's analogue stick for movement and the speaker to play sounds when you pick up an item

if they keep delaying it, then it's going to be close to Last of Us 2...then it's just lol for Days Gone
