Red Dead Redemption 2 (no spoilers)

Except.. she's not the sole representative of that group, and she is the only annoying one. That one just got a ban when surprise surprise worse irl stuff is absolutely fine on youtube.

This is a spoiler but it seems people don't realise that the one npc is not the only suffragette in the whole game -.-'

I understand you guys want to support to this man, and his right post whatever he wants ( As do I) but I have to ask. Are you really comparing Shirrako edge Lord videos to This America?

I respectfully disagree This is America is pointing out certain issues that is a problem in America (For example guns). The scene where he's shoots up a church is inspired by a real life incident. Rather you like the video or not it serves a purpose,and opened up dialogue. Shirrako on the hand is acting like a 12 year old posting immature content. I can't stand extreme SJWs who get offended for the sake of being offended, and I can't extreme anti SJWs who wants be edgy for the sake of being edgy. Like I said I'm not arguing against his right to post whatever he wants. One of his latest videos is about him taking a black NPC to the KKK. At this point it's clear he's daring YouTube to do something, and when they do I don't want to hear him whining.

this makes me happy, the voice acting is top notch. and feels so authentic in the game

The suffragettes? I suppose they could have eliminated them from the game entirely as they aren't the first thing people think of when they see the words 'Wild West'. But, that was a movement that was going on during that time frame, and to exclude mention of that historical context; in a game who's major selling point is about playing in the historical western US; seems to be counter intuitive.

As for the potential violence players can commit towards them, Rockstar isn't responsible for that any more than they would be guilty of animal cruelty when players hunt wild animals or shoot horses in the face, nor is Rockstar anti-police when players rack up five stars in GTA, and blow up law enforcement with a rocket launcher.

All Rockstar did was create a sandbox for players to experience, what said players choose to do in that sandbox is entirely up to them. 

That's a rather broad accusation to make towards Rockstar though.

They created the game world and then inhabited it with NPCs yes, but then the player has complete freedom to choose how they interact with said characters; the suffragettes actually have the equality they were campaigning for in-game because they are no different than the male NPCs the player encounters. But Rockstar can't be held accountable for every conceivable action that players may do in their sandbox.

Going by that logic, Rockstar is simultaneously a champion against minority discrimination, as well as a perpetuator of racism, since the player can kill all KKK members they see, or bring a hog-tied person of color to one of their meetings. They would also be for and against animal cruelty considering how the player can abuse their horses, or take steps to care for and bond with their steed. 

Going a step further, if Rockstar is guilty of misogyny because some players decide to assault a turn of the century feminist in their game, then BioWare is guilty of promoting violence against (holographic) children because certain players decided to shoot glow brat in the face.  

Personally I don't think anyone is at fault per say... well more our outrage culture than anything really.


"Oh no, a person posted a video of punching a collection of pixels in a video game that just so happens to look like a suffragette from the real world. Let's ban, boycott and sue anyone who we can remotely tie to this offense."

As far as who's the most to 'blame' here in this particular instance:

I would say that the Youtuber was definitely trolling for extra views, but YouTube did over react when they outright banned his channel; as well as showcase a bit of bias on their part since there are videos of other games that literally revolve around assassinating the president and yet they aren't flagged at all (not even a mature content warning).

Youtube algorithms are weird like that. You watch one second of one video and then it assumes you want to see any and all videos related to the one you briefly glanced at.


Yes the youtuber was 'trolling' but that is hardly a bannable offense when other 'trolls', like the content creators posting their playthroughs of presidential assassination games (and specifically making said president look like Trump in their videos),  goes completely unmolested; unless, of course, Youtube was operating under a selective outrage bias. 

I bought RDR2 early because I'm home with a weird stomach bug. I was planning on getting it for Christmas but then I found myself with some time on my hands. So I'm making the best of it.

I totally get now why a lot of people don't like the game, especially the endless 2-3 initial hours with zero freedom that probably deterred quite a few people from giving it a real chance. It was a bit of a rough start for me as well. Not so much because you're basically stuck in an interactive movie for way too long but because the gameplay can be downright infuriating, making you fail quests all the time. At least *I* failed about 50% of them (and still do), sometimes multiple times because trying to remember which button does what is extremely confusing in the beginning.
And then you can't even save manually as long as a mission is active and you have to rely on that godawful autosave function. I almost rage quit when I messed up that loong carriage passage down into the valley seconds before finishing it hitting a rock, having had to redo it all over again. And no matter if you died and respawn or just load a savefile, you never spawn where you were before. I constantly got disoriented the first few hours, thinking I loaded the wrong save.
What is this shit?!

I've been ambushed and gunned or knifed down before I could even react and navigate the radial menu to get the appropriate weapon to defend myself. Then your pelts are always gone. They are also gone when you fail a mission and restart the checkpoint.
After a while this stops being funny...

The first person camera is awful. The head bopping makes even *me* sick. But you HAVE to go into first person in cramped spaces or you can't see what the hell you're even looting! And then you have to fiddle around until you've highlighted everything so you can pick it up. One. By. One.

I'm waiting until it is available on Steam next month, but wondered - for those who've picked it up, how are you finding the performance?

I've seen some fairly eye-popping articles about how hungry it is.

So, a game that looks absolutely stunning on a console can't get 60 fps with a GTX 1080 Ti (and a strong CPU) on PC?!?!?
I very much doubt it looks 3-4 times better to justify this!
Good grief, PC gaming has become the most expensive joke ever...
