Just looking back to mechwarrior 2/mercenaries - the mouse controlled the torso movement, but because they didn't have an animation system, it could snap shoot from left to right, it looked super off, and I get why the animation system directly combats the gameplay mechanics. It stops you from being able to 'just blow stuff up' which is exactly what we're used to.
I get the sudden urge to smoke a Malboro and get cancer.
haha check out at 4:25, someone apparently had a bit too much to drink that night
A bit OT but Playdead did this on a whole other level with Inside. 6 years of development, Announced June 2014 , released June 2016 : one single f@/kng trailer, no previews, no hands-on, no marketing, nothing at all...and that damn thing is a masterpiece.
Curiously the rendering choices of RDR2 reminded me exactly of inside. Both games relied on and invested heavily in lighting, shadowing and volumetric atmospherics. Also, both games relied on TAA to clean up a relatively noisy render and just accepted the inherent softness that causes.
Super OT...but Yup! Inside's use of TRAA is exceptional. The work done to heavily modify Unity (which at the time was far from what it is now..) was insane.
lol it's one perspective. I do struggle with the the controls, but that's also sort of realistic in a sense. When you engage dead-eye, your combat abilities to wipe shit out happens. Which sort of bypasses the clunky controls.
I've had NPCs 'suicide' infront of my horse while trotting in town. I'ts aggravating, and it's one of those things where I feel like getting off the horse and leading it to a hitch might be easier to avoid these problems.I've seen this and each and every time it can be attributed to civilians working in the camp. When the shooting starts, they either run off (and report crime, not the crime of the bandits but your crime against criminals!) or find cover and hide and aren't visible on the map but they see you just fine. They are also olympic athletes with their ability to run into town and report a crime, then the olympic athlete lawmen mount their racehorses to rush to the scene quicker the Los Santos SWAT teams. Hmm..
It's 1987, not fifty years earlier. One of the themes of the game the encroachment of civilisation into the frontier. It's why moving beyond a mild gallop in towns will have people yell at you and while running around in towns will have people comment. In Chapter I Arthur question the incredulity of moving East into "civilisation" (spoken like the mere word is profanity) when Dutch sets that direction as where they are going.
There are Sheriffs, Country lawmen, Federal Lawman, Pinkertons and Bounty Hunters. If you recall from the original RDR John oft spoken civilisation was "brutal for free men" (outlaws) because it was uncompromising. It was like a rubber-band snapping back so far in the opposite direction of what was effectively anarchy.
That said, the wanted system is poorly explained. Like how merely putting a mask on will not fully conceal your identify when performing crimes and that you really need to don a new outfit and use a different horse - because people aren't idiots. If you're been riding around on the same horse in the same clothes for a week, putting a bandana over your mouse won't fool anybody.
The 'rules' of the game need to be clearer.
Again, very much an overbearing theme of the game. It's not a 'cowboy' game set in the 'wild' west, it's different.
There's no excusing. It's annoying AF.
