t's a very good game overall, although I would say I prefer the first. I really don't like how they remove your ability to run or use weapons in certain missions, or at camp. Of course I know that using weapons would cause you to fail the mission at certain points, but for me, I think it was fun to occasionally shoot your own stagecoach full of dynamite just to see what would happen rip2 On the other hand, I think the NPCs are a huge improvement, especially when it comes to keeping up with you on horseback. 

 

Yeah, I understand, it feels like there's no control over the character at times fall1 NPCs are definitely a huge improvement. What did you think of the horse-riding in this game? I thought it was ok, but it felt a bit clunky at times and like an unpolished mechanic.

Wow rip4 I haven't tried any online RPGs in a while, but yeah, the loading on RuneScape could be pretty bad.

I was super into WoW last year and the year before, and then haven't really touched it since then because it was a time-dump. But, I've really wanted to try WoW classic while all the hype is there.  And also, oh my god I loved Runescape, I used to play that so much back in like 2007-2009. I gave the mobile version a try when it came out earlier this year, but couldn't get into it again rip4

I'm OK with the horse riding. I don't like how quickly your horse gets tired or that you can only whistle for them from a certain distance (what'd you name yours, by the way?), but I do think the bond feels more natural and I found myself quite a bit more motivated not to let any horse die. Them getting spooked was also an interesting idea.

 

Yeah, that was roughly when I was into RuneScape too. AdventureQuest/BattleOn was another one of my favourites, though it had little to no player interaction.

I can't quite remember, I named it something stupid ny4  I do like the bonding a lot, it's great. Have you gotten the Arabian horse yet? If not, I would definitely take the time to go tame one, it makes traveling so much easier. 

 

I was typing I never tried AdventureQuest, but then I remembered I played that game a LOT ny5 I completely forgot that existed.

I wasn't expecting the naming to be a thing, so in the 30 seconds it took for me to decide to name my horse "Mycroft" after Sherlock Holmes' brother, this was my thought process - "My Horse? Backspace, backspace, backspace....My Horse, My Girl, My Sharona, Mycroft...Mycroft...yeah, OK, it's Mycroft..."

 

I loved the story arcs in that game at the time, especially the Werewolves vs. Vampires thing, which culminated in a Werewolf/Vampire/Dragon hybrid rip2scream1

LENNY!

 

One thing I really wanna do is leap from a train on a track over a body of water rip2 I've tried it, but I haven't found one deep enough to survive yet.

Omg I need to try that too. I don't know which river would be deep enough though, I'd have to look

I'm not sure if it's possible, but I'm gonna keep trying rip2 I like to do as many "James Bond on Jackass" things as I can in most Rockstar games.

 

Saint Denis is great, huh?

Saint Denis is the coolest. I thought it was just going to be a Blackwater replica, but it was Blackwater on crack cry8 So cool cry7

I have to do my evil playthrough now jj2  I always used to do honorable and dishonorable playthroughs of Red Dead 1, where I'd try to max the bar either way bey1

I haven't explored it enough yet, but I love the area. 

 

My honor is actually pretty low so far dead2 I don't know about you, but I'm finding it harder to keep good honor in this game. For example, this one husband in Rhodes was strangling his wife and obviously I killed him, but since you have to get rid of corpses in this game I got caught carrying it and that started a chain of witnesses and police that didn't understand the situation and needed to be intimidated or killed rip3

Yeah it is really easy to lose it, and you accidentally end up running over so many people fall1   I usually just leave the bodies and ride away

But I did a lot of the side-missions like helping strangers get home and stuff, so that really boosts your honor a lot bey6

Also @Dennis Reynolds, do you think they're going to ever do something similar to Undead Nightmare for this game? Would be so insanely cool...

I haven't done enough of the stranger missions yet, I'm really into the main story. Maybe I should do a few in a row.

 

I'm not sure. I imagine there will be some sort of expansion down the line, but whether it'll be something supernatural/in the vein of Undead Nightmare, I don't know. Would you want it to literally be zombies again? If they do something like it but not exactly the same scenario, maybe an "alien invaders" set up would be cool.

It's better to do some of those stranger missions while you can, some become locked after certain chapters

I would like it to be zombies again, I loved the experience :D Also, aliens ruined Saints Row 4 - so they make me nervous fall1 

And yes! definitely do the stranger missions :D

Yea, I'm not too surprised by that. I think I've only completed like three, maybe? I was working on the one where you have to go take photos of the old gunslingers most recently.

I liked Saints Row IV, but I would do it way differently. It would be a lot smaller, centred on abductions, aliens impersonating humans and unintelligent drones you can fight, Maybe they could do a nod to Undead Nightmare and have the aliens make their army from the dead like in Plan 9 from Outer Space. Only the last mission would be on the mothership, and at the end of the game instead of being a character that can only communicate in guttural moans you can be an enhanced alien/human hybrid.

You liked Saints Row 4?! I found it to be one of the worst messes of a game I've ever played fall6  Although Saints Row 1/2 hold up as two of my favorite games ever.

Yeah, I feel like they could definitely make it work. But, I don't want like laser guns and stuff like that implemented, it totally takes you out of that time period. Undead Nightmare worked so well because it didn't change anything about the time period, except for the zombies of course. You still felt like you were fighting zombies in the early years of the midwest. It just won't feel like Red Dead if they add futuristic weapons/items.

I’m so exited too!! I have it preordered and it feels like the closer it gets, the slower time is going  What are you doing for fall vacation? 

I've been waiting for this since I finished the first game years ago! Can't believe how much I fell in love with this world after I bought it on a whim! Even better that this releases right as I
