Isn't that the Online version you're on about there, can't see an open world game with no story working.

There's loads of open world sandbox games with no story already, this was supposed to be the next gen.

My son plays ARK and theres no story, there are a few others too.

But there was not supposed to be a story, you made your own story by organically living in the world with your camp mates. 75% of it is story led with repetitive tick box missions. Definately not the future of gaming like they said....

And god knows why it took 8 years to make when other companies can knock out games yearly that aren't too much behind red dead 2.

Agreed.

I’m sure the Devs said the camp would move on without you and it wasn’t mission dependent.
 
Can’t see how you rate it so highly @luvgonzo other than having the freedom of openworld I see nothing whatsoever that is appealing. The bathing/shaving elements of the game just get repetitive as predicted, the repetitiveness of random encounters makes me think I’m on a Super Nintendo rather than a current gen console, the animal skinning is basic and ridiculously boring, the missions all seem like they’ve been lifted out of RDR1.

It’s exactly what I thought it would be, GTA in handcuffs.

GOAT? Not a chance, it’s not even top 100.

I just like the whole feel of the game I think it's just my kind of game.
 
As far as plonking the player in a realistic world with great AI though it's head and shoulders above the rest.

The AI is terrible imo. Dumb ****ers just stand there and let you shoot them. Stealth is far too easy for good AI.
 
Got robbed in St Denis last night, followed some bloke expecting him to try **** and ready to blow his head off. Somebody clubs me on the head from behind and I get robbed of about £1700 and wake up in the cemetery.

Looks like I'm the only RDR2 fanboy on here. <laugh>

Don't get me wrong I like the game, great game. I was expecting a **** load more from an 8 year team. Even the graphics aren't the best imo. Want proper graphics check Detroit: become human out, took 18 months to develop.

The graphics look very nice, reviews are decent.
 
Graphics are great on Xbox One X.

Detroit: Become Human would be insane on the Xbox one X

Better gan RDR2... im not saying RDR2 graphics are bad btw, some of faces are shocking but the landscape is awesome.

Yeah landscape is good I agree and the motions are poor. Better on Xbox One X than Xbox One but still nowhere near some other games. I’ve tried getting a few pics of One X but once they’ve been through the phone the quality drops off.
