Grand Theft Auto Grieving Thread - Yep, I've been drinkin' again...

[xXx: State of the Union]

Well, I've never played RDR1, and probably never will considering Rockstar are fags who won't release a PC version because there's no online to monetize, so I'll have to take your word on that, as unreliable as you've admitted it might be.

Considering I said that based on you saying "no, that's not what happened." only to find out you weren't talking about RDR1 but RDR2...

 

[Snekposter]

From what I've heard the reason why we don't have it on PC is because RDR1 has horrendously bad spaghetti code to the point that porting it would be a nightmare, which is a shame since it's a phenomenal game.

Why am I not surprised?

Considering I said that based on you saying "no, that's not what happened." only to find out you weren't talking about RDR1 but RDR2...

Well, its entirely possible you are misremembering what he said, too, or assuming John was speaking specifically about Blackwater and not the aftermath.

 

[Bunny Tracks]

RDR2's entire existence is a retcon for the series. RDR1 intentionally kept the backstory of John, and the Van der Linde gang vague so as to keep in-line with the spaghetti western theme of a lone gunman with a dark, and mysterious past. It's not detailed because it wasn't supposed to be.

Then RDR2 showed up, and ruined all that by introducing a fuckton of new characters that didn't exist in the first game while doing next to nothing when it comes to developing most of the ones that were in the first one, stripping John of his role in the gang, and best qualities to some new jackass, and introduce a new villain right the fuck out of nowhere who might have actually stolen both Dutch's role in being the reason the gang fell apart, and Javier's entire original character. Among many, many other things.

Tl;dr: Both games might as well take place in two different universes so arguing about what's really canon is pointless. What's canon in one game is not canon in the other. R* didn't bother keeping everything consistent because they hate this series, and wanted to write a new story about their brand-new retarded OCs. The continuity is so scrambled everything, and anything can be true. Uncle is secretly Red Harlow. Fight me.

The entire vibe of RDR1 is so much better than 2. It's a respectable homage to the gritty anti-hero spaghetti western with one of the best soundtracks ever. I enjoyed aspects of 2, but Bunny Tracks is correct in that it turns the RDR lore into an inexplicable cluster-fuck for no other reason than they couldn't be as edgy as 1 (one such example: Micah saying "darkies" rather than niggers. Cold-blooded, two-faced, backstabbing, cutthroat killer, but no way is he going to drop the hard R).

-RDR1 is superior
-Micah did nothing wrong
-Uncle is definitely Red Harlow

Sadie is sexy as hell, however. The perfect blend of young and old.

Come on nigga please tell me you dont find that smoker's voice attractive

Whatever looks she has fall apart once she opens her mouth

Ayyyy who knew this would be something we'd agree on.

Buy an Xbox 360 or PS3 today for extremely cheap if you want to play a bunch of classical games that will never go to PC. That was the era of real quality games anyways

I'm amazed with how versatile and random Slink Johnson is.

Yep. Console gaming died after 2006 (outside the 3Ds).

Carrying a dead franchise for all those years sure explains his lumbago.

I've played RdR1 on PS3 and it ran... weird. People on Xbox 360 had it worse, a lot worse.

-Uncle is definitely Red Harlow

If Uncle is Red Harlow then Jimmy Hopkins in Bully is James Earl Cash from Manhunt.

I have to disagree, i played on Xbox and it runned just fine

Yep. Console gaming died after 2006 (outside the 3Ds).

It died once PS4 and Xbox one happened. We still had great games up until 2013, exclusive or otherwise. Dark Souls, Bioshock Infinite, God of War III, Red Dead redemption, Just Cause 2, etc all came after 2006

 

[Quintex96]

true

Bioshock Infinite

No

I have it for Xbox, and it runs fine for the most part. The only issue is that if you play it for too long the internal memory gets fucked, but even then, you can just fix that by turning the game off for a few minutes.

Might have been particular units, but I remember with both RdR1 and LA Noire, some Xbox 360 players I knew encountered a fuckton of issues.

 

[xXx: State of the Union]

I remember both playing fine for me, but I had upgraded my 360 by then.

Derailing with RDR again, whoever said Low Honor Arthur is the better route, 100% agreed. Game was almost designed to have that as the canon choice considering just how much better the game is when you are a selfish prick

Wanted to do the "at least youre good with your camp members" role but then either Dutch or Mr. Pearson came to me with "Arthur you need to contribute more to the camp", minutes after donating a couple hundred bucks, animal parts and loot. Fucking ledger had four straight pages of Arthur's donations and theyre coming at me with this shit lol

In the end i just went with asshole Arthur, called John a deadbeat pussy, Sadie an angry dick-envying tryhard, Charles an irrelevant boring sack, etc etc, was actually friendly to Micah as well, because why not

In my mind it now makes sense why John doesnt want to talk about Arthur during the epilogue and further, dude was a dick lol

 

[Bunny Tracks]

Charles an irrelevant boring sack

He helped build us a house how dare you-

Congratulations for being one of the very, very few people who actually went out of their way to do that. If you watch RDR2 antagonization complication videos, no one ever bullies Charles even though some of Arthur's best insults are saved for him, and he has the chance of having one of the best reactions once you wake up after getting knocked out by him.

I still wish we had a GTA/Manhunt crossover game in the early 2000’s. It would have been a cool experience.
