Why is this game so bad?

i bought this "masterpiece" during the recent steam summer sale.
i think i got 30 hours in it, and its 30 hours of pure suffering.
i played it 10 times since i bought it, and yesterday i just raged at the game and alt+f4'd.

i swear to god its the most boring, slow, phlegmatic and un-interesting game i have ever played.
the story is the worst - its like a simulation of being a religious cult member, everybody acts like total retards, and doesnt notice it.
i got 51% story completion and NOTHING IS HAPPENING AT ALL.

>take a mission
>30 minutes of horse riding, while listening to worthless, meaningless filler dialogue
>actual mission lasts 5 minutes, usually just shoot some enemies using VATS
>go back, again, 30 minutes of horse riding
>see a "secondary" random NPC encounter
>"oh hey mister! i just *pick random reason* and need to go somewhere, can you take me?
>uhhh sure, i guess
>ok cool its just 50 minutes of horse riding in the opposite direction, and i will give you absolutely no reward for doing it

but yesterday, was just too much, i actually RAGED at the fucking game.

>mission to help indians against the army or something
>expect horse riding, like always
>this time its the longest fucking ride ever
>halfway through the road, its scripted you just WALK to the destination
>50 minutes, a fucking hour, of NOTHING
>the mission is about killing 5 soldiers and getting a peace pipe back to the indian chief
>YOU SLOWLY WALK ALL THE WAY BACK

i had enough of that shit.

BEST PART:
I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO HATES THIS FUCKING GAME.
I CHECKED STEAM ACHIEVEMENTS:
>30% OF PEOPLE FINISHED ACT 3
i asked my friends who recommended it to me:
>DID YOU FINISH IT?
>WHAT? NO.... I GOT LIKE 10 HOURS IN IT.
>WHY DID YOU RECOMMEND IT TO ME, THEN?
>BECAUSE ITS AWESOME
>WHY DIDNT YOU FINISH IT AND HAVE 10 HOURS?
>I..... I HONESTLY DONT KNOW, I JUST DONT WANT TO PLAY IT.

What the fuck.

you know usually when I play a game and dont like it I turn it off instead of forcing myself to play it to impress internet strangers

I hate contrarianism so much. You're not cool for hating the popular thing.

>DUDE ITS A MASTERPIECE EVERYBODY LOVES IT HOLY SHIT JUST PLAY IT
>jesus, this is trash, but its a "masterpiece" so it MUST get better at some point
>keep playing
>it just keeps getting worse and worse
>past the time to refund
>OH GOD

It's a game made for adult men with high testosterone who appreciate the western genre, it's not for children and teens who like cowadoody and blowing cops up in GTA

i dunno man, im feeling pretty awesome for shitting on ed sheeran and the kardashians.

>DUDE ITS A MASTERPIECE EVERYBODY LOVES IT HOLY SHIT JUST PLAY IT
>okay I'll try it
>hmm after a few hours its not for me think I'll stop playing
>thank god I'm not some faggot who only plays games based on peer pressure

It's just funny how people say GTA IV has a praise-cult around it when this game is even worse in that regard

The OP is a schizo who's been crying about RDR2 daily for 4 years now.

im literally a walking testosterone injection who grew up on westerns and i fucking hate RDR2.
>>hmm after a few hours its not for me think I'll stop playing
too late, no refunds, goy.

its the ultimate normiecore game. Real gamers have a peggle window open during the endless travelling bullshit.

It really insists upon itself.

It doesn't, people just liked it and moved on.
Meanwhile GTA 4 has a bunch of autists stuck in Any Forums who unironically think that it's better than GTA SA.
The biggest irony is that GTA 4 started all the cancer that makes RDR2 insufferable, specially when it comes to gameplay and lineality.

I also didn't like it.

thats extremely super based.
fuck this game, people should be informed how trash it is.

you're just a hater, surely there are games that you like?

>im literally a walking testosterone injection who grew up on westerns
You are in nu/v/ unironically so no, you aren't, you are a skinny zoomer.

>too late, no refunds, goy.
yeah that does suck but you continuing to play it despite hating every moment of it makes you a fucking moron

Kek based. That or Tetris.

It's more noticeable outside of this board. Go onto GTAForums for example, and if you say anything bad about the game you'll get either a thousand replies justifying the bad design of this game or some "lol you didn't get it it's a masterpiece" shit

Why does nu4chan pretend this place has any spread anymore?
Any Forums doesn't influence other websites these days, it's other websites the ones that influence Any Forums.
What that guy has done is spam it so the 50 or so people that lurk Any Forums reply to it with the same posts over and over.

These days the major boards of Any Forums are just a place for schizos who think they found social media for them.

And this place does the opposite because of that.
Any Forums hates RDR2 because it's popular, just like it worships GTA 4 because it isn't.

Don't pretend as if Any Forums, the place that unironically discusses Call of Duty, Fortnite and Metal Gear Survive has some kind of deep taste.

even if 1 person gets informed that this game is fucking trash is enough to justify a million threads.

The writing truly is dog shit. I like your description of the characters op, that it feels like being a cult member and everyone is clueless to just how retarded they really are. Nothing makes sense.

Honestly, I just love the technical side of it. The game is undeniably still to this day the highest technical achievement in video game world crafting out there. I enjoy just casually walking around Saint Denis as the time passes and storms roll in. Kind of makes me feel and imagine what it would have been like for people a hundred some odd years ago. Otherwise, the story just isn't worth replaying.

But nobody is, normal people don't know Any Forums exists, it has dissappeared from the public sphere, it's all about social media, reddit and discord now.
Any Forums is just home to schizophrenic amerimutts.

I was really expecting a lot more from like, the actual game part of the game. You know, the part where you do stuff in order to progress and make shit happen. People said it was amazing and riveting and well-written. But it's just so weird.

First, the game is clearly split in to (maybe three) distinct parts. You have the Camp/narrative quest parts, and then you have the survival/open world exploration/vignettes/hunting/crafting/building part. They're two completely different games that have nothing to do with eachother and don't actually connect in any way. Ostensibly, the game gives you this big narrative scene of "Go out, get money, put money into the box so we can live." but all the money ever does is buy useless cosmetic camp upgrades.

And so you spend time, days or possibly even weeks out in the open world doing, admittedly, very well-crafted stuff. The locations you can go to look nice, the little sidequests are fun and interesting, the hunting and chasing legendary animals is cool, etc. But then you get back to camp and you do a Story quest and 100% of the time it's you and some of your camp friends just going somewhere to shoot up some people and then come back.

And then inevitably, every single fucking chapter ends with you pissing someone off or getting caught and then you have a shootout in the town you're currently in where you murder like 100 fucking dudes before running away, and then you just do it all over again.

It's such a weird game.
