Maybe I should try this game
The story is one of the best I've seen presented in a game. It takes into consideration the kind of wandering nature of how you play videogames and tells a stroy through the enviroment really well. After major events in the main character's journey parts of the map open and change in subtle but fun ways too, the background chatter of crowd NPCs even changes. Plus just constantly walking up to little vinette storys happening set up all over and in random spots was very neat.
The solo game is such a good time. I spent so many hours just wandering around the map, hunting animals and gathering herbs. Occasionally riding my trusty steed back into town to change my outfit or get into a gun fight. Super immersive, great story, the map
design and lack of load screens; IMO it was a highpoint in gaming, easily 9/10 if not a perfect 10.
I haven't played it personally because of the price (though it's on sale at the moment, it looks like), but I hear it's good.
I loved my first playthrough when I was riding around in the woods late at night and heard chanting and went to investigate and saw a bunch of the white robed clowns and just got to fucking obliterate them all while Aurther cursed them out. Was incredibly satisfying. It was also incredibly satisfying when the former slave hunter was moaning about how he can't hunt slaves anymore and I shot him in the face and my honor bar rose. I also almost pissed myself when I was riding through the woods up north at night in the fog and a disembodied women's voice started whispering in my headset saying that she wanted to go home, asking for help, and making accusations about something. It was only in about a 20 Sq ft radius, if I rode out of it the voice stopped and if I went back into it the voice started again, but there was no one there. What a tiny (and terrifying) detail. The fog blew away and the voice stopped. The whole game is filled with tiny details and hidden stuff like that so you can stick to the story or just spend hours exploring.
I’d argue it’s one of the best games ever created on Gods green Earth.
It's boring as fuck and if you don't complete the missions the way the game wants you to, you fail.
That’s pure folly and you know it!
Criticism helps. I never trust any game that has nothing but praise.
The open world was cool. The gameplay and mission structure were bad.
It's worth it.
