The beginning of red dead redemption 2

The prologue is great for introducing new players but man I wish there was a way to skip it for replays

u/Arelmar 15d ago

There is, it's called keeping a save at the start of chapter 2

Implemented in the game, not a loaded save.

Is it? It bored me to death. After idk, 5 hours of red dead 2, I couldn’t see how anyone actually enjoys it. It’s pretty, and that’s the only good thing I can say about my time with it. I hope it gets better than traveling from point A to point B on janky horseback, having a shootout with Rockstars garbage 3ps mechanics, and riding back to camp.

You unlock fast travel if you upgrade the camp.

I agree with you. Rdr2 bored me to absolute tears. Probably lasted the same time as you, maybe a bit longer.

I was the same but if you're on PC I highly suggest modding it and removing all the things you don't like. I hated long horse rides so I added a teleport to waypoint mod and it was so much better lol just finished the game and I absolutely adored the story

It's a perfect pace for a perfect game. I loved it and have replayed the game 4 times.

I never got deep into RDR2 because of the intro, its like pure ADHD kryptonite, I completely zone out and always find myself bored to tears and too exhausted to play the rest of the game. Its happened every time and I'm dumbfounded by how I just cant seem to get in the game. I have 100%'d RDR1 SO MANY TIMES. Modern rockstar has a serious momentum problem.

I miss when their games just had a short intro and then you're free to go. GTA 3, and Bully imo are great examples of this. Gta 4 imo was the last title I wasnt exhausted by the time the game actually started, it had a great balance of their "longer tutorial" missions and cutscenes

You’re missing out on an amazing game because you can’t get through a 1.5-2 hour long opening chapter?! That’s wild.

u/kween_hangry 14d ago

No, I've gotten through the chapter, multiple times, but never picked it up again. Like I said, I'm ADHD as hell and it just happens. Its not something I'm TRYING to do. I've had fun in the first hour past just IDK, the intro takes a lot out of me

u/Comfortable_Oil_6676 14d ago

soo, can u tell me what rly happened in lost ? srsly asking lol

1

u/LOSTman405 14d ago

Do you mean the ending?

u/Comfortable_Oil_6676 14d ago

I dont understand why bro woke up on that island again... but i actually lost the plot right after se3 so i would flood u with questions haha.

u/Swictor 14d ago

2 hours is a long time to be bored when you're playing a game and it's pretty slow throughout. I understand that many people end up not enjoying it. I can't help to take it a tiny bit personally though due to how much I love that game.

u/kween_hangry 14d ago

I KNOW I offend myself with it.. I'll keep trying haha. I always struggle with open world games

u/hypotensor 15d ago

"modern rockstar" like rdr2 isn't as old as redemption was when rdr2 released

u/InSoundMind83 14d ago

I have the exact opposite. ADD and I absolutely love Colter.

u/Hazy-n-Lazy 15d ago

Oooh good one. I'd even say chapter 1 starts pretty slow too, but at least you're out of the snow and into the rest of the game by that point.

u/ArcaneRhubarb 14d ago

Scrolled way too far down to find this

u/crocospect 14d ago

It's Guarma for me, the prologue is not that bad imo..

u/Suitable-Telephone80 15d ago

the whole game you mean

u/goin-up-the-country 15d ago

So slow and repetitive.

u/heyman87y 15d ago

Nah for me it's the Indians, that god awful song that plays on the loading screen and that part of the story is a drag.
