RE: I will not ever "git gud" at videogames again
I played Cannon Fodder on the awful Atari Jaguar controller that was the size of most consoles these days. Man what a disaster that console was.
I can't see myself really ever getting involved in a game that utilizes the entire controller ever again honestly. That's all fun and games for a teenager with no life responsibilities but I actually have quite a few, and you mentioned you have kids so you probably have even less time to devote to that sort of thing.
I do recall running around without much direction in RDR2 in the past and that was reasonably entertaining I guess. It is a beautiful game after all.
Were you able to complete it? That must have been extremely difficult to control!
Exactly! Although... it's probably easier than memorizing every special move on Mortal Kombat / Street Fighter II which I'm sure we both did as kids! Many of which, I have little doubt that we still know 🙂
Yes - it's truly beautiful. Although I found some of it frustrating. After murdering a farmer, and dumping his body in his house, my character was tired. But there was no way for me to settle down for a peaceful sleep in my victim's bed. Instead, I had to set up camp somewhere... which I couldn't do because there was always too much activity nearby. There was probably a tutorial or moment in the game where I should have learnt what to do... but I didn't. So just got killed in a gun fight instead.
the one thing I remember that frustrated me at the start of RDR2 was the lack of fast travel initially. There is this one scene where you go and get ourtrageously drunk at the saloon with your friend and get into a fight. The cut-scene is actually brilliant but then you wake up on the side of the road and you have no choice but to walk all the way back to your camp. I suppose that was intentional on their part to let you know how vast this area was and how you need to stick with your horse or face consequences, but I nearly quit at that point. Plus those long stretches of leaving your horse on autopilot because fast travel wasn't available.
I get that they were going for a creative thing here but I didn't like it.
I really didn't make it that far in the game. Just as far as needing to do something to the railroads in the main story. Then, as we have discussed a bunch already, I stopped playing for a while and returned and didn't know how to do anything other than walk. :)
I never finished that Atari Jaguar game, no. Since I never knew the mouse commands I had nothing to complain about. Other PC games that appear on consoles, such as any RTS game like Age of Empires, Starcraft and what not, are just horrible on any console though, no matter how much they try to make it user friendly on any console.
I've somehow managed to avoid this part of the game! But I know what you're saying. When I loaded it up after a while, I wandered out of the camp without my horse... slow in quite the understatement!
wandering for a bit can be fun, especially if you are hunting and gathering deer skins for some sort of collectible, but overall it is simply a bunch of walking. There was a time that my horse died and I was currently carrying a prisoner and had to walk him all the way back to town... jesus that took ages.
