The mechanics of the game are not clear, and there will be random transitions into fights or whatever. Blah!

The information is scattered all over the place which is simply bad design.

The menus are poorly labeled with random crap in some of them... cannot tell whether this is intentional or not - but, in any event, why is it like this?

I'm kind of sitting on a 4.5/10 for this game. Not terrible, but definitely not a good game, and not worth 60 effing dollars.

Update:

I see bing has some ranking system it displays in it's search results when you and . Seems about right.

This game seems like a side project from rockstar.... regardless of the graphical production value - the overall experience makes it seem like a side project. I guess when one visits a big city, and they see all the fuck-around behavior it really is just that: a fuck around place where nothing productive is getting done.

think about it, they supposedly have these billions of dollars coming in, and with the over zealous hype about crunch and all that you'd think they're some powerhouse of productivity, but where's the good stuff?? what else did rockstar put out during this time??? where's the blockbuster game?? because rdr2 isn't it

About the story, what's with all the coloreds in the game? the game is starting to look more like a modern LARP than an RPG or open world game with this modern portrayal of ethnic Americans and coloreds, especially the african black. There would be the domination of ethnica Americans over africans still portrayed here, and it's looking like a "we're all a happy melting pot of communist and marxist equality ".

all that side stuff looks recycled though. and you can get a better version of it in older games for a cheaper price.

nothing productive getting done as in i don't think this game is built out enough for a quality overall experience. why aren't new game genres happening if there's so much innovation at these companies in big cities?

i recall all this talk about the details of the game like "the horse's balls shrink in the cold" which implied that they'd taken care of all the bigger details before they got that far... i'm not a graphics guy, but i see graphics problems all over: sometimes the horse's mane will freeze in the hair while riding the horse, there are random light sources flickering through large portions of buildings, the game will ramp up the processing when i'm looking at a catalog in a store, etc

Back on the overall game play, I don't have a problem with reusing old game play mechanics, but they didn't stitch this game together well at all. It's not flowing properly from action to action, the controls compound this issue to extremely irritating levels (also the menu system), some of the missions seem tacked on (i just did a bar fight mission and i have no idea how javier when from the camp to town when I didn't complete his first mission, also he wasn't even in the camp earlier when his marker was there), i can't tell whether some of the speech in the cinematics are telling me about game mechanics or if they're doing "cinematic stuff" that doesn't occur or matter in-game, i could go on and on, but no matter what this game is not going to get above an average rating for me.
