    Why are red dead redemption horses still the best videogame horses?

    The "hold down X to canter alongside this person while they exposition" is seriously the best thing

    As opposed to SOTC's "press X and he'll do whatever the fuck he wants"

    If you played a bad guy in red dead redemption you got a bad guy horse.

    It has a white face that looks like a skull.

    My John Marston was a good guy though. Trying to live down his violent past.

    Argo was an incredibly frustrating horse.

    I would never expect Agro to appeal to everyone but personally I loved that they prioritized making the horse a character instead of a vehicle.

    re: red dead redemption and horsies

    the worst feeling in videogames ever in the whole history of anything is charging headlong at a group of riders on your horse like john goddamn wayne, and as you shoulder your rifle and start picking off the line of banditos you get to a guy near the middle

    and you accidentally put a .30 calibur rifle round right in the back of your own goddamn horse's dome

    the best feeling in videogames is lassoing the anti-semite storekeeper in armadillo, dragging him out of town, then tying him to the railroad tracks and watching him get hit by a train

    Will never understand the Agro hate. You hold the button and point in a direction and he does almost all the work for you. Because he's an animal you see, you don't have to tell him to run around stuff.

    Huh, if you use a skin in Arkham Knight it looks like the default outfit doesn't take on that battle damage look if you switch back to it

    Also apparently cutscenes are prerendered, so your skin does not carry over

    There aren't very many actual cutscenes

    There's a couple at the start, one or two in the middle, and two long ones at the end

    I mean, obviously opinions and all that, but man that kinda blows my mind. Personally I found the game hyper intuitive and a joy to play. Just shows that there is no "right" way to make a game.

    There's two broad philosophies when making controls for a game

    One is to make them so fluid and simple that you forget about the controller and you just kinda make stuff happen without thinking about it too hard. Most games fall in this category

    And then there's the games that make the control scheme part of the experience, to the point that you have to understand the game on its terms and use the controls within the context presented to you, resulting in a possibly richer experience but also a steeper learning curve. Sotc, mgs2 and 3, and street fighter are games built with this idea in mind. The controls in a lot of these games are built to mimic the actions of the game in an abstract level, so you have to ease off the shoot button in metal gear to mimic releasing the hammer on the gun, and wander doesn't always move how you want him too because of the influence the big stomping Giants have on his motion

    Neither way is really wrong, but if you prefer or at least are used to the first kind then the second kind is going to take a lot of adjustment in your mind frame

    Yeah but that second way of doing it is bad.

    SotC can be very aggravating when Wander or Aggro just kind of do their own thing, MGS has so many problems I don't even know where to start, and Street Fighter has inputs that require so much precision that some people physically can't do them.

    If someone who would otherwise enjoy your game can't because of the weird, archaic controls, then you made bad controls.

    "Bad controls" is (usually) an incredibly subjective term.

    Bad in your opinion.

    SotC's controls, when you work with them instead of against them, allow for fluid, easy, natural control and allow you to succeed in difficult tasks on your first attempt, on the fly, with very little difficult input on the part of the player. MGS gives the player an insane level of control and flexible, while having its controls be thematically appropriate to the game which is just incredible.

    I will say Street Fighter has sub-par controls, because part of its control scheme is arbitrary difficulty of input included for legacy reasons, but SFV is hopefully addressing that.

    Nothing is archaic about the controls of SotC or MGS.

    Realtalk, I think The First of Us is a great sequel title if it ends on a hopeful note.

    My vote goes to Agro from Shadow of the Colossus

    Yeah he was a good horse

    Agro is a girl horse.

    One of my favourite parts of Arkham City was swooping across the entire map with my cape. Nothing about the Batmobile sounds better than doing that.
