Insanely long tutorial
Why is the tutorial like 2 hours long? Are most of the people playing this retarded? There is no need for such a long tutorial to "teach" people how to play the game.

Well Rockstar treats people like toddlers the whole game, so it makes sense xD

Mostly cinematic cutscenes. The so-called tutorial is about 30 min, including 15-20 min of riding.

I've never played a Red Dead game before anywhere, I had doubts during chapter 1 even considered refunding because it was that slow paced I thought this was the games style, the snow and fog was a huge put off and a real slog.

Then after chapter 1 it turned into a fantastic game just 10 hours in :)

My only issue is that you are forced into a walking state in many areas, but it's fine.

Yep I have played just under an hour and at this point it is still trying to tell me how to press a button while I am told I need to just stroll to my next destination while pressing the "T" key to say hello. I am not going to waste my time for the next hour doing the same because Rockstar wants to teach the dumbest player how to press "enter" just so they can buy an item from a store. How about they not tell me anything at all and just let me play the game without these slow strolls through the park to tell me the story that I could give two craps about. I get it, the main character is gay as hell for his friend. I don't need to "walk through the snow to hold his hand." Right now there has been about 10 minutes worth of gameplay with 35 minutes of exposition while I am literally walking and having a conversation. This slog is not worth it. You newb's can keep your terrible game. And yes my 2766 hours on Rocket League isn't me crawling while I talk to a NPC because people don't know how to play the game without being told "Press R to pick up an item". Once again, how about they not spend a single second trying to teach dumb people how to play the game and let them figure it out for themselves.

and tutorial continues in chapter 2 too .. :)
but still .. even after completing the chapter one 3 times (because chapter 2 has game breaking bugs in free roam and quests forces you to do it when you have already done it and you cannot undo it, so new game), the free roam availability when you are not supposed to do it is stupid
i still forgot half the keys what to do .. like G calm down horse

While it is a good game, it does seem like everything in this game is slow AF along with kind of confusing clunky control scheme. After playing Horizon where everything is crisp and spot on, it is like this game is in slow motion. Probably take some getting used to it I dunno.

Yes just had a look lol

0.8 hours, how can you complain? just go and finish it stick with it.

Yes, I am retarded and really appreciated that tutorial. I love this game for being so inclusive.

You're embarrassing yourself.

Nope, I believe I am making a good point. Hell this discussion is more engaging than Red Dead 2.. Do any of you understand why you don't need the tutorial? I will tell you....It is because you can look at the key/button mapping for the game. There I said the obvious that isn't so obvious to the rest of you. Lets go back to the way it was done like 10 years ago where they didn't waste your time with teaching all of you 3 year old players that you have to press "W, S, A, D" to move around and then you must spend the next 10 minutes just pressing said keys to listen to some story that you probably don't care about only to then wait for more of the same for the next two hours for each individual key. This has to be game design for a 3 year old audience, AKA console players and little children. No actual adult needs to waste their time with this...So All of you except for maybe Kman and ReadNick would fall into that category of terribly stupid people for needing such a long tutorial.

Well, if you don't care about the story it's probably not the game for you. Don't have a stroke...just quit playing.

Refund the game and continue playing Rocket League instead. Because actual adults love that game.

It would have taken less time to get past that part and on to a great game then you've spent on this discussion acting like a douchebag and insulting people . . .but hey, enjoy yourself, I'm going to play a great game rather than read any more of your ♥♥♥♥ . . .

I did.

I will keep the game just in case I get the urge to kill myself, then I will play it and be reminded that there are worse things than death such as playing this game.
